HOMO SAPIEN, DVM
Assuming primary focus "had been" the health of the pet, would suggest a career in veterinary medicine if one truly desires to learn just how detached from reality the human race has become as a species.
Nothing exposes the dark side of human nature better than being or observing veterinarians having to navigate the great divide between doing what was in the animal's best interest (if even that can be agreed upon) and having to satisfy, within budgets, the needs of emotional, as well as libel prone, pet owners from a nation full of prophet worshiping, pleasure seeking, wealth building citizens; as well as a lifestyle of their own to support.
In rare cases, would I believe anyone claiming the pet's well being takes priority over our petty needs. Then again, met far too many clients shopping around for veterinarians with agreeable opinions and veterinarians willingly filling a legally profit turning void.
Having said that; there is no such thing as
responsible pro-life breeders.
"Hey
MISTER!
You really a doctor?"
Inside the Minds of Animals-TIME: "Humans have a fraught relationship with beasts. They are our companions and our chattel, our family members and our laborers, our household pets and our household pests. We love them and cage them, admire them and abuse them
Our dodge — a not unreasonable one — has always been that animals are ours to do with as we please simply because they don't suffer the way we do. They don't think, not in any meaningful way. They don't worry. They have no sense of the future or their own mortality. They may pair-bond, but they don't love. For all we know, they may not even be conscious. 'The reason animals do not speak as we do is not that they lack the organs,' René Descartes once said, 'but that they have no thoughts.' For many people, the Bible offers the most powerful argument of all. Human beings were granted 'dominion over the beasts of the field,' and there the discussion can more or less stop"
