"-L. :" wrote in message om... "Phil P." wrote in message ... snippy I have no tolerance for vets who simply kill cats as part of a day's work. Unfortunately, that's how a lot of vets and techs approach it - especially if the guardian refuses to be present. One of the most upsetting things I witnessed was a tech euthing an 8-week old FIP kitten all the while laughing and joking with another tech. It was just so damn disrespectful. I silently wept. In my younger days when I volunteered in a municipal shelter, a vet tech used an amphetamine to euthanize a cat - he thought it was funny to see the cat bouncing off the walls of the cage until his heart exploded. Since the tech thought it was so funny, I thought he would enjoy bouncing off the walls, too, for about 20 minutes. I was wrong... he didn't enjoy it. I don't think the tech will ever forget that cat. How horrible. This kind of thing disturbs me but it becomes all too common when people work in those situations for a long time. Some of the stuff I have seen (research labs, primarily) just literally makes me sick. -L. |
