    Veterinary ethics in university education in German-speaking countries

These dilemmas require the development of veterinary ethics and a profession with ethical standards of orientation that reflect different application scenarios. The necessary basics and competences must be acquired by the students in the study of veterinary medicine in order to meet the challenges in practice. This article sketches an overview of the scope of teaching ethics in academic education of veterinary medicine in Germany, Switzerland and Austria and shows the different formats and focal points. It becomes obvious that a stronger interdisciplinary cooperation in this field is desirable, because it leads to synergies and harmonization and further develops veterinary ethics and profession. The research network veterinary ethics (Netzwerk Tiermedizinische Ethik) meets this challenge.

    Aiming at the patient's good? Considering legitimate and illegitimate forms of promoting health-related interests

    Thurner, Elena
    9页
    查看更多>>摘要：The aim of this paper is to clarify the theory of the animal patient presented in a former paper by Thurner et al. (2018) and use it as an analytical tool in veterinary ethics. By means of the case of an animal's broken leg, which I assume can be "treated" either by splinting or by euthanasia, I demonstrate that this theory faces a structural challenge. According to the theory of Thurner et al. (2018), the performance of both treatments would make the animal a patient. This follows from the concept of promoting health-related interests as used by the authors. Therefore, in four steps, I specify the concept of promoting animals' health-related interests with the case of the fracture. In the first step, I point out that different treatment options correspond to differing ends. In the second step, I argue that from the animal's supposed point of view splinting the fracture is preferable to euthanasia, for this course of action promotes the animal's best interest. In the third step, I distinguish between a legitimate and an illegitimate promotion of animals' health-related interests. I argue that an animal qualifies as a patient only if her health-related interests are legitimately promoted. In the fourth step, I present my modified criterion for becoming a patient. In addition, I highlight two benefits of theorising the patient in veterinary ethics. First, the concept can be used to distinguish five categories of veterinary interventions. Second, the concept can stimulate changes in how humans treat animals, thereby improving animal welfare.

    "I have my own code of ethics"- On the relevance of the German veterinary code of ethics for the professional practice of cattle veterinarians

    Gutjahr, Julia
    10页
    查看更多>>摘要：The professional practice of veterinarians, especially in the field of animal agriculture, is structurally characterized by various normative expectations and conflicting interests. These ambivalences can result in ethical conflicts and professional dilemmas. In order to provide normative orientation, a code of ethics was adopted for German veterinary medicine in 2015. It contains central principles of veterinary practice, and is thus a form of professional ethics.

    When veterinarians kill - on applied ethics and its relation to legal and moral norms

    Kunzmann, Peter
    7页
    查看更多>>摘要：The European bodies in charge of veterinary education, FVE and EAEVE, have declared ethics as a "basic science". The aim of the paper is to show how ethics fits into the education of veterinarians and why it is helpful, if not necessary, to deal with it for professionals. Several so-called "day one competences" are based on specific ethical operations. The paper gives a precise definition of ethics in relation to neighbouring subjects such as legal and moral reasoning. It explains how ethics can be applied in specific sets of conflict that veterinarians may face. The findings are exemplified by a paradigmatic case: The tricky task of deciding whether (or when) an animal should be euthanized demands familiarity with basic ethical categories such as values. These values are explained in the context of varying moral and legal traditions within Europe. This should demonstrate how concrete decision-making can be based on ethical considerations.

    On facing different kinds of animal patients - reflecting veterinary ethical responsibility

    Huth, Martin
    10页
    查看更多>>摘要：Veterinarians are confronted with very different expectations regarding the treatment of animals which might cause moral distress since veterinarians could experience such differences as moral inconsistencies.The discourse of animal and veterinary ethics runs the risk of even exacerbating this problem, because the perspective is often mainly animal-centred tending to neglect the social embedding of veterinary practice. Bernard Rollin, a pioneer of veterinary ethics, contends that veterinarians should take on leadership in effecting ethical change. However, though veterinarians can certainly contribute to improving conditions for animals, their moral distress could be increased if they are not mindful of the social conditionality of their responsibility.

    Culling dogs to control rabies in Uganda - an example of moral distress for a veterinary officer

    Okech, Samuel GeorgeSemakula, Jerome RoyAgaba, DenisHartnack, Sonja...
    8页
    查看更多>>摘要：Domestic dogs are the main source of human rabies deaths - approximately 60,000 annually occurring mostly in Africa and Asia. The World Health Organisation and its partners declared "zero human deaths due to canine rabies by 2030" as a strategic goal. In the context of rabies control, an ethical case scenario from the perspective of a veterinary officer in Uganda is presented. A practice-oriented tool, Ropohl's responsibility checklist, is applied to structure the individual responsibility of the veterinary officer according to the six core questions. This ethical deliberation was performed in a workshop following a participatory approach. Based on the ethical deliberation it becomes evident, that the case scenario could be potentially described by moral distress. We suggest that a better understanding of personal responsibility, including its extent and its limits, would help veterinary officers to better cope with difficult and challenging situations.

    Severity assessment in animal experimentation - is this ethical?

    Weich, KerstinHohlbaum, KatharinaZintzsch, Anne
    14页
    查看更多>>摘要：The professional ethos of veterinary medicine includes a special commitment to the moral and legal requirements for treatment of animals. Veterinarians should advocate for protecting animals from negative effects on their well-being and health. In the field of animal experimentation, veterinarians fulfil this commitment by implementing the 3R principle (replace, reduce, refine). In the scope of the 3Rs, severity assessment is carried out in order to detect and objectify any impairments of the animal's well-being with the aim to avoid or alleviate them. Our critical examination of severity assessment from a veterinary perspective is driven by a dissonance between its normative and practical levels. When performing severity assessment in an empirical-scientific way, its clear normative function of promoting ethics through the implementation of principles becomes fragile; doubts, uncertainty and ethical disorientation arise. In order to explore the ethical potential of this friction, we combine the legal demand for a culture of care with approaches of an ethics of care - during which the initial question within the scope of an ethics of care changes: How can severity assessment become an ethical practice? For this approach, severity assessment is located in specific milieu, from which certain moments of its resilience are investigated: between theory and practice, facts and values, laws and ethics, pain and representation. While demonstrating how severity assessment is caught up in these contrasts, it is argued that the ethical potential of severity assessment can be unfolded when dealing with them, rather than solving them.

    Authorization of animal research projects - a comparison of harm concepts in the Swiss Animal Welfare Act and the European Directive 2010/63/EU

    Eggel, MatthiasCamenzind, Samuel
    9页
    查看更多>>摘要：Meeting the professional responsibilities of veterinarians in animal research has been described by the German Federal Chamber of Veterinary Surgeons (Bundestierdrztekammer, BTK) as a "special ethical challenge". Veterinarians are involved in animal research, not only as researcher and animal welfare officers, but also as members of ethical review committees and as such require a unique set of skills to provide a wide range of services and practices.
