Grandpa Bill Asks:
How is Your Pets Activity and Balance Level?
How is Your Pets Overall Health?
Tonight’s Empower Hour! webinar is the first one of the winter One Health Medicine (OHM) education bundle from the 501c3 Holistic Actions! Foundation. It featured inspiring speaker and veterinarian Dr Liza Schneider. She shared her unique perspective as a S. African vet in NZ about OHM for a more sustainable pet care.
Liza Schneider all the way from New Zealand. She will share an introduction to the One Health model with us.
This model recognizes that the health of animals, humans and the environment are intertwined and inter-dependent.
This concept is age-old and obvious to indigenous native people who live off the land, for example Bushmen, Native Americans and Eskimos. They know that if they over-use their resources with over-fishing or depleting animal or environmental supplies it will have a negative impact on them too.
One Health is also well-known amongst conservationists where there is a greater understanding that if endangered species are to be saved they need to have their natural environment preserved and have the local community of people involved in helping.
Dr. Liza shares:
Science has shown that there is a link between animal abuse and domestic violence and Mahatma Gandhi said “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated”.
Animal lovers know the incredible fulfillment that they receive from interacting with them and recently there has been research showing the tremendous benefit that animals have to human health and well-being. More and more people are benefiting from this and some work places are even encouraging pets to come to work!
When we unite as a community to care for our animals and our environment and work together, we can make this world a better place.
