On January 12, More than 200 veterinarians from 21 provinces gathered in Sukhbaatar Square to begin a peaceful protest calling on the government to address urgent problems facing the veterinary sector.
Protesters said they work in difficult conditions and that their profession is undervalued. “We work amid old manure and hazardous conditions, yet our work is not recognised or supported,” one veterinarian told the crowd. “If we do not receive support, there will be no veterinarians left. The government must pay attention to us.”
The veterinarians presented a set of specific demands to authorities, including:
- Timely release of state and local funding this year as required by existing contracts.
-
Access to low-interest loans for veterinarians, such as green loans.
