RESUMEN
La idea de que la profesión veterinaria tiene entre sus funciones el cuidado de los animales junto con la salvaguarda de sus derechos, pese a encontrarse difundida entre algunas personas, está totalmente desinformada. La profesión veterinaria se dirige básicamente a controlar el modo en el que los animales no humanos son usados y tratados, de manera que la salud y otros intereses de los seres humanos se vean protegidos. Solo se presta una cierta atención al llamado "bienestar animal", pero de una manera que no toma realmente en cuenta los intereses de los animales. Este artículo defiende que, si asumimos un punto de vista contrario al especismo, es necesario un enfoque distinto para la medicina veterinaria, que ponga los intereses de los animales no humanos en el centro y que, conforme a eso, promueva una investigación para el desarrollo de métodos de diagnóstico y terapéuticos que beneficien a estos (AU)
ABSTRACT
The idea that the veterinary profession has among its aims caring for nonhuman animals along with safeguarding their rights, although shared by a number of people, is totally uninformed. Veterinary profession is basically aimed at controlling the way in which nonhuman animals are used or treated, so human health and other interests are protected. Only some concern for what has been called "animal welfare" is considered, but in a way that does not really take animals’ interests seriously. If we accept an antispeciesist viewpoint, a different approach for veterinary medicine is needed. Such an approach should be focused on animal interests and promote the research for diagnosis and therapeutic methods that benefit them (AU)
