The FVE - Federation of Veterinarians of Europe, in collaboration with the EU Health Policy Platform (EUHPP), is hosting a discussion on animal considerations in disaster preparedness.
Animals are often overlooked in disaster preparedness - at a time when Europe faces increasingly complex crises, from climate-related disasters to public health emergencies.
On 18 June, our Executive Director Ruud Tombrock will speak at a high-level EU policy webinar.

The session, “Unseen Victims, Unseen Risks: Animals in Disasters”, will explore how a One Health approach can strengthen preparedness, and why animal welfare, public health and resilience need to be addressed together.
Protecting animals means protecting forests, oceans, biodiversity and the delicate balance of nature that all life depends on.
This #WorldEnvironmentDay, let’s choose compassion, sustainability and coexistence, for animals, people and the future of our shared planet. Share this post if you agree!

We continue our #TestedForNothing, shining a spotlight on zebrafish used in chemical tests. These cruel tests produce data that's meaningless for determining how a human would respond to a chemical in real-life—and they violate EU's "last resort" principle found in the chemicals law.
