The week-long Human-Animal Bond Lecture Series, hosted by MSU's College of Veterinary Medicine, culminated on Thursday with two lectures by Dr. Michael Hutchins, director and chief executive officer of The Wildlife Society. The organization's message of committment to a world where humans and wildlife coexist runs parallel to the annual theme of the CVM's lecture series, which celebrates the special relationship between humans and animals, seeking to explore all its facets. It also raises awareness that the bond includes companion, production, wildlife animals, and more. The event was sponsored by Nestle/Purina.
