'Hire us!': Vets urge counties to employ them to help fight rabies and other animal diseases

Speaking at a meeting ahead of World Rabies Day in Kwale on Thursday, the chairman of the association of veterinarians Kelvin Osore lamented that county governments employ few veterinarians, which cripples the government's efforts to deal with problems such as rabies. 

The acting director of the Animal Medical Services department Allan Zegelle said that the government aims to eradicate rabies by the year 2030, adding that the services of veterinarians are crucial to achieving the target.
