Veterinary Public Health as an emerging cross-disciplinary, primarily through the protection of animal health and safety to ensure that the purpose of human health, the purpose is to study all human and animal health-related knowledge and resources,as well as the relationship between protect and promote the good life of mankind. It has to safeguard and promote protection of human health and the dual role of aquaculture industry began to receive attention, thus promoting the veterinary science and medicine intersect, and mutual penetration. However, it has not really know the safety of the animals in the importance of veterinary public health, veterinary public health, human neglect of the implementation of animal life in the balance of the ecological role of the environment, too much emphasis on the use of animals, for example: medical experiments, biological experiments, gene technology, comparative medicine, transplantation and human daily life, and so the demand for very large animals, making the availability of the number of species becoming less and lessc Destruction of ecological balance, leading to intensified conflict between humans and animals. As the traditional concept of people of animals, not rational understanding of the relationship between humans and animals, resulting in the field of veterinary public health research can not be a good development, veterinary public health effects on animals and humans has been misinterpreted. Veterinary Public Health is not only from the science and technology make up a good environment for human beings to live in the idea, and the fact that the ecological balance is destroyed. Inhibition of human behavior from conception to bring harm to the environment. Environmental ethics make up the veterinary public health in the conceptual flaws. Environmental ethics is a relatively new ethics, ethical theory because it is not the traditional relationship between humans and animals in the application. But the new interpretation of people and the environment, animals, the relationship between ethical beliefs, moral attitudes and behavior of the theoretical system, is a respect for nature and animals, their value and rights of the subjects.From the perspective of animal ethics, look in the management of veterinary public health and lack of ethics on the means of implementation, and the resulting animal epidemic and emerging zoonosis prevalent underlying causes. Real society, or whether it is intensive farming of genetically modified animals, the ecological chain principles to govern the ecological environment, all of these animals as a "machine" to be used. Veterinary public health in the major ethical dilemma is: veterinary public health use of farm animals, laboratory animals and wild animals to satisfy human needs for a happy life produced by the contradiction between people and animals. The generation of human disease, environmental deterioration and lack of respect for the rights of animals and the natural environment related laws. Veterinary public health control of animals hope to improve the environment, promote human life more happy。However, the casual disposal of farm animals, a lot of the implementation of animal experiments, breaking the nature of the food chain, such an act will only bring harm to human life. Cruel treatment of animals is to ignore the concept of animal rights leads to environmental pollution, one of the major zoonotic diseases are endemic. The idea of human self-centered not reversed, then the outcome of veterinary public health to the prevalence of diseases and environmental balance can never be resolved. These measures undermine the basic growth pattern of the animal, which led to the spread of various animal diseases. The rapid development of science and technology did not curb the occurrence of animal diseases, it is a scientific means alone can not solve the ecological balance of species to reduce damage caused by animal disease problems and more popular issues.
