Other organizational exchange activities include attending the 2nd Jiangsu Small Animal As one of the founding member, SHSAVA joined the Federation of Asia Small Animal Veterinary Association Ltd (FASAVA). This is a reflection of continued expansion of professional academic exchange and further international opportunities for our veterinarians to learn from the outside world and conversely more and more foreign experts will be able to visit and exchange with us. Furthermore, SHSAVA contributed to animal welfare activities in the region. As China becomes more and more open, improved standard of living and better civic consciousness at the same time accompanied the heightened awareness on animal welfare. Many animal welfare groups came into being in recent years extending their assistance to abandoned animals, stray dogs and cats, and providing public educations on issues such as public health control, environmental contamination, etc. This is a direct response to call of our government to build a more harmonious society. One of the sacred missions of all veterinarians besides saving the lives of dogs and cats, is protecting the health of the animals. Pets are man�s best friend, a part of our daily lives, and therefore to love and protect animals is a symbol of virtue and a civilized society.
