New veterinary advocacy association formed.

The Humane Society of the United States and Association of
Veterinarians for Animal Rights have formed a new veterinary advocacy
association, Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association (HSVMA).
HSVMA will give veterinarians, veterinary students, and veterinary
technicians an opportunity to participate in animal welfare programs,
including disaster response; expanded hands-on animal care; spaying
and neutering; and advocacy for legislative, corporate and veterinary
medical school reforms. For more information, go to
