AVMA Guidelines for the Depopulation of Animals

AVMA

Published in 2019

Preview:  “The term depopulation refers to the rapid de¬struction of a population of animals in response to urgent circumstances with as much consideration given to the welfare of the animals as practicable. Ur¬gent circumstances may include emergency situations, such as the need for immediate disease control or a response to natural or human-made disasters.[…] The challenge facing veterinarians and others tasked with depopulation is to balance aggressive management of and rapid response to an emergency situation with animal welfare concerns surrounding humane destruction. Veterinarians are positioned to offer sound professional judgment as the value of animals’ lives and their welfare is weighed against immediate risk to human beings, other populations of animals, or the environment."
