The intrinsic value of animals and their place in human society influence veterinary practice. The role-responsibility of the veterinarian is under pressure of practical circumstances, client requests and constraints of breeding and management systems. A reflection on human needs as related to the intrinsic value and welfare of animals, is required inside and outside the profession. It is in the interest of life to think and act out of total ecological concepts. In order to be better prepared to deal with ethical problems in practice, students should receive adequate training. The assumed value-free research and the need for outside financial support are a hindrance for research projects that aim at sustainability of human and animal life. It is concluded that the profession needs a philosophy about her objectives.
动物的内在价值及其在人类社会中的地位影响着兽医实践。兽医的角色责任受到实际情况、客户要求以及繁育和管理系统限制的压力。无论是在行业内部还是外部，都需要思考与动物内在价值和福利相关的人类需求。从整体生态概念出发进行思考和行动符合生命的利益。为了更好地准备应对实践中的伦理问题，学生应该接受充分的培训。假定的无价值研究以及对外部资金支持的需求，对旨在实现人类和动物生命可持续性的研究项目构成了阻碍。结论是，该行业需要一种关于其目标的理念。
