CONGRATS ON 5 YEARS! Join us by clapping your wings for Dr Jacqueline Hansted, as she celebrates her 5 year work anniversary as a PHS/SPCA employee! Dr Hansted decided in high school that she wanted a career as a veterinarian for non-domestic animals. One of her first contacts with PHS was when she brought an injured hummingbird to us and saw there was a need for a wildlife veterinarian. Shortly after she volunteered; later became a contracted wildlife veterinarian; and lastly came on-board as a regular employee. Dr Hansted enjoys doing what she loves -helping local wild animals get healthy and returning them back into the wild. Dr Hansted also works in the PHS Exotics department. She enjoys the camaraderie between PHS teams when help is needed. Her proudest moment was when PHS rescued 78 sick reptiles from a pet store. All 78 animals grew healthy and survived thanks to the amazing team work of the PHS staff and volunteers. Outside of work, Dr Hansted is a SF 49ers Faithful, enjoys hiking and visiting national parks, and being an adult literacy tutor. Interesting fact - Dr Hansted is allergic to all animals! In order to do what she loves, she makes sure to wear the correct personal protective equipment and takes her allergy medicine. Thanks Dr Hansted for being an OWL-some veterinarian! We look forward to your continued success as we open our new Wildlife Rehabilitation Center!

This misinformation and subsequent range of reactions from people/ organisations often cause even greater difficulties and challenges to response plans. Outbreaks are made all the more difficult when bureaucratic processes delay effective response on the ground or official communications to be relayed. During this period in a global, digital age is fertile ground for misinformation.

This is extremely important. Not just for animal health etc, but for understanding how misinformation is promulgated. I would strongly suggest that people take the time to read this from both an animal health tactical but also a general information management strategic point of view. #disinformation #worldanimalhealth #epidemic #pandemic

👩⚕️ 👨⚕️" #Veterinarians are vital to the #OneMedicine approach, using their knowledge and expertise to bridge the gap between human and animal health. They are at the forefront of monitoring and early detection of diseases, actively observing and assessing animal populations for any indication of illness, and identifying possible zoonotic risks before they escalate into significant public health emergencies."

Rehoming rats and mice used in laboratories. “They are small but the richness of their lives is equal” - a new article by Petra Stock in COSMOS Magazine. 🐁🐀 #AnimalWelfare #WelfareWednesday https://lnkd.in/gWC_CwA3 More than 120 million mice and rats are used in experiments worldwide each year. Most of them are euthanized. But the world is changing, and many countries are developing roadmaps to move away from #animalresearch. "[U]nlikely alliances are forming in efforts to rehome these animals." "As part of a new rat rehoming initiative, the University of Auckland is teaming up with the New Zealand Anti-Vivisection Society...to find homes for 50 animals every month." -Petra Stock. “Rats are one of the main animals that get killed every year for science," -Tara Jackson. Rats bred in labs make great companion animals according to Dr. Jodi Salinsky, Animal Welfare Officer and Head Veterinarian at The University of Auckland. "She lists off their perks: “hilarious,” “easy to train,” “social,” “snuggle bunnies,” and “not prone to biting.”" In Netherlands, a similar rehoming initiative became a standard practice. Dr. Monique Janssens🌱 from UMC Utrecht argues that we have the same moral obligation to rehome mice and rats as we do for dogs or cats. “They are small but the richness of their lives is equal.” Rehoming is a better solution than euthanasia, but the at the heart of the problem is the continued breeding and use of 🐁 and 🐀 for experiments, particularly when those experiments fail to translate into meaningful benefits. There's a solution: PETA.org/RMD.

The Next Big Threat to Animal Health: Misinformation and Disinformation, an informative article by the World Organisation for Animal Health In our interconnected world, the spread of false information poses a significant risk to animal health. From viral content undermining vaccination efforts to conspiracy theories about disease outbreaks. Misinformation and disinformation can have severe consequences. 3 main topics from the article that is linked below: - We operate in a complex risk landscape, and technological advancements and globalization increase vulnerability to infectious diseases. - The impact on Animal Health, where false narratives can disrupt trade, food security, and public trust. - To be able to meet these challenges we need a collaborative response. Multisectoral collaboration is essential to counter disinformation effectively. Let’s work together to ensure accurate and timely information and protect animal health! #AnimalHealth #Misinformation #Disinformation #GlobalHealth https://lnkd.in/dqZuzxME

I just reviewed the Shelter Animals Count most recent data report. Kristen Hassen did an incredible overview, discussing "The Mysterious Trend in Euthanasia". We have Best Friends Animal Society advocating for No-Kill 2025, yet one year away, euthanasia is 31% higher than in 2022 and has risen above euthanasia rates of 2018 and 2019. Would it not be simply amazing if the great minds and leaders in #animalwelfare #veterinaryprofession #petindustry ALL came together to figure this out? Would it not be incredible to have everyone rowing in the same direction? What if we ALL were to work together to save animals and do something about this crisis? If anyone wants to reach out and have a conversation and all come to the table, I will gladly facilitate and serve in any capacity. We do need to figure this out, but in order to do so, we must work together. Let's not just WANT to do better, let's do better.

Former veterinary assistant with 1 year experience with animal restraint, 4 years of animal care and Associate's Degree in Administration of Justice aiming for a job that is in line with my values.
2moIt’s pretty impressive that she has created such a career as a veterinarian, usually a high stress job involving being physically close to animals, despite being allergic to all of her patients. It really does show that you can accomplish more than what people would expect as long as you have the tools you need to do your job.
