  • Sorry if I did not explain myself well. Here some points that I think are not quite right

    A doctor must not do anything that is not in their patient’s best interests

    Is true just because of the law.

    A vet has a duty of service to their patients OWNER

    Its not a duty, the vet can always say no to a client, he is not required to kill or heal, its his choice. (Because there are no laws for it yet)

    Why shouldn’t stray animals that cannot take care of themselves and have no human guardians be destroyed?

    I don’t know. Here the stray animals are not destroyed. My girlfriend chose to provide free service so they can be healed and castrated. So the population of the stray animals will decrease over time.

    Why should we instead kill OTHER animals so that these ones can be kept alive? No animals are being saved! You’re just choosing to kill a bunch of food animals instead of one pet. It’s self-interested speciesism, not altruistic compassion!

    I cant stop the killing of the animals and I don’t know anyone who can. The only solution I see is for people to stop having pets, but that is not up to me.


  • I See your point but I don’t agree. Saing vets are not interested in animal welfare is like saying doctors are no interested in human welfare.

    In a perfect world people will not have pets. I don’t now where you are from but here we have a big problem with homeless dogs and cats. Its because of people like her the animals on the street are having a better life and preventing from more animals ending the same way.

    From me is important the difference that a person is able to make. Not selling food will not change anything because people are going to buy it from someware anyway. Saving few hundred animals makes a difference.





  • My current stand is reduce the suffering in the world as much as possible. You can’t be perfect.

    I have an interesting question. My girlfriend is a vet and she has a vet pharmacy. She has saved a lot of animals and in the same time she sells animal food and most of it is made from meat.

    Without selling animal food the pharmacy will not exist since it’s the most of the income and without the pharmacy she will not be able to save animals.

    Is selling meat in this case justified, in your point of view?
