PRESS RELEASE
Ceva Santé Animale (Ceva) and the World Veterinary
Association (WVA) continue their commitment to promote ever better international
standards of animal welfare by organizing the Global Animal Welfare Awards
recognizing and rewarding veterinarians for their outstanding efforts to protect
and improve the welfare of animals.
Brussels/Libourne 17th September
2018 - Veterinarians are
not only essential for the treatment and prevention of animal diseases, but play
a crucial role in protecting and improving the welfare of animals. The
veterinary community helps to research, advocate and educate politicians, public
health authorities, the media and general public in implementing the highest
animal welfare standards.
The aim of the WVA Animal Welfare Awards is to recognize
and reward veterinarians who in their daily lives contribute to the protection
and welfare of animals and have provided outstanding and exemplary
welfare-related services to animals, animal owners, fellow veterinarians and the
public.
Following the successful deliverance of the WVA Animal
Welfare Awards in 2017 and 2018, Ceva and WVA in collaboration with the International
Veterinary Students’ Association (IVSA) have this year agreed to expand the scope of the
awards by adding a new category recognizing a veterinary student for
his/her involvement and engagement in animal welfare.
The WVA Animal Welfare Award 2019 will be presented to
six selected veterinarians from the WVA 6 geographical regions and to one
veterinary student from around the world. The Award Ceremony will take place
during the 35th World
Veterinary Association Congress on
28th April 2019 in San Jose, Costa Rica where the selected winners
will be invited to receive the WVA Animal Welfare Award and a monetary prize of
5.000 Euros.
In addition, Ceva and WVA are actively studying a plan
to expand the AW Awards categories to include veterinary schools in
future editions, rewarding them for Animal Welfare Excellence in Veterinary
Education.
