Making Animals Matter 2011-World Veterinary Year

April 30th 2011 is celebrated world wide as world Veterinary Day. What makes this year special is year 2011 is also tagged as World Veterinary Year that provides a unique opportunity to boost the profile of vets, and of animal welfare around the world.


The world’s first veterinary school was founded in Lyon, France, in 1761, shortly followed by the Alfort veterinary school, near Paris, in 1764, both of them at the initiative of French veterinarian Claude Bourgelat. This means that 2011 will mark the 250th world anniversary of veterinary education, and has been designated the World Veterinary Year.


Let’s pray and wish, we will continue to serve the society with our contribution for the years to come and make everyone proud.
