Veterinarians, especially with the increasing number of female professionals in the field, play a crucial role in promoting animal welfare through daily practices, advocacy, education, and research. They are involved in various sectors like biomedical, wildlife, and farm animal research, as well as managing laboratory animal colonies. Veterinarians also contribute to training, legislation drafting, and collaborating with different stakeholders to ensure the well-being of animals.
