Is it okay for Veterinarians to eat animals?

[brutalityobscene]

None of the vets I've worked for have been vegetarians. The first one I worked for didn't even have a pet.

I've known several vegetarians who wanted to be veterinarians, but I'd assume that going through the courses, seeing pictures of sick/dying/dead creatures and discussing them at length might be a turn off for that sort of person (me too, actually). It takes a certain person to deal with that stuff, kind of like how most doctors are very to-the-point and not really all that sympathetic with whatever health issue you are facing.

Might be wrong to think this, but what about a situation where a vegan veterinarian cures a sickly animal, and then the animal eats the vet!

I think it's important. People that don't care are part of the problem.

I just don't think it's necessary to be making 3 posts a day concerning vegetarianism. God knows I'd love to be vegetarian, I just can't at the moment - health concerns.

Yes, I know that I could never be a veterinarian (I didn't even want to be a vet when I was a child...I did really want to be a doctor, though), because I wouldn't want to put an animal "to sleep". I'm pretty sure I would not be able to do that.

Motherf***ing barbaricunts!

By the same reasoning, is it ok for abortion providers to have children?

You left out the third (well, the first) party involved, which pretty much kills the analogy.

Relax. I was just joking.

I wonder how they make "hushpuppies?"

I wonder how they make "hushpuppies?"

By a wonderful, magical process, I'm sure.

Well, me too. I have an aggressive sense of humor, just hope I don't hurt anyone in the process of being... humorous. And I don't like smileys for irony and such.

Hushpuppies? Are those Hushpuppies? What are those? What do they taste like? Puppies?

You won't hurt my feelings, I don't have any.
I'm more with you on the smileys than not.

Yes, those are hushpuppies. I don't believe I've ever had one, but they're made cornmeal mix, flour, green onion, milk, and eggs then deep fried.

I know some "old timer" large animal vets, who made house calls to farms to deliver cows and such. They used to bring over snacks they'd call "hush puppies." I always wondered if those perhaps had an extra ingredient.

That's funny, I didn't notice that on your status update.
Or do you have one yet?

I thought hush puppies were corn fritters.
