WHO WE ARE |
The Society for Veterinary Medical Ethics was founded in 1994 by a group of veterinarians, biomedical researchers and academics to promote discussion and debate about ethical issues arising in and relevant to veterinary practice.
The major objectives of the SVME are:- to encourage ethical practices and professional behavior of veterinarians in all aspects of the profession

- to sponsor seminars and other presentations on ethics and values at local, state, regional and national meetings of veterinarians and other interested individuals
- to promote the teaching of ethical and value issues at colleges of veterinary medicine and to identify speakers on these subjects
- to encourage persons from other professions and disciplines - such as biomedical research, medicine, law, political science, philosophy and theology - to engage in cross-disciplinary discussions and studies of these issues
- to exchange information about veterinary ethical issues via bulletins, periodicals and newsletters
- to maintain archives of appropriate documents and materials related to these disciplines.
