Matters Of
Professional Concern
The Nigeria Veterinary Society in collaboration with
Nigeria Council on Veterinary Affairs are making in road into the federal
ministry of health and NCDC for inclusion of their members in combating covid
19 pandemic in Nigeria. Reasons adduced were:
1.
That it has been
said that corona virus originated from animals in the animal market in Wuhan
China, where wild animals are purchased, slaughtered for human consumption.
2.
That by mutation,
the virus jumped into human bodies ravaging the world.
3.
That as
professional care providers for animals they can also help in controlling the
spread of the virus which is said to originate from animals.
4.
That they have
virologists in their profession and association who are also capable of helping
to discover a cure or vaccine for the virus.
5.
That they can
provide needed care to animals and human beings who keep them as pet and
consume these animals by extension – making sure they do not consume contaminated
meat.
What a wonderful submission!
If chaplains have missed out in being included in the
healthcare professionals combating covid 19 in Nigeria and Africa because of
our inability to produce cross-trained healthcare chaplains; should we miss out
again in this move?
Where are the animal chaplains, who have been
cross-trained to work in collaboration with the Vets in providing the needed
care to animals, as well as human beings who keep them as pets and even consume
them against contamination and infection?
Why must we wait until we get to the crossroad before
we look for what to do? Let us all give professional chaplaincy the push
needed. Remain eternally blessed.
