IVADM appeals to veterinarians

Abstract

Madam:—Last year, the Executive Board of the International Veterinary Academy on Disaster Medicine (IVADM) asked for Dr L. Stipkovits, Budapest, to convene a meeting of the veterinarians participating in the 5th International Congress of Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War. About 20 veterinarians met (Dr Jack Lawrence, Freeport, New York attended from the USA), and drafted the following appeal to all veterinarians of the world, and asked that it be published in the veterinary press worldwide. The Directors of the IVADM have approved the statement. They respectfully request that you print it for consideration by your readers before the next meeting of the IVADM in Montreal during the 23rd World Veterinary Congress. Of course, your readers are cordially invited to attend and participate in the meeting. Thank you.
