I had every intention of going to school to become a vet tech until I spoke with one of my friends who WAS a vet tech. Because I feel so strongly about declawing (it should be outlawed!!) I'm not sure I could assist in a procedure like that. My friend Heather told me some of the horror stories that go on behind closed doors. I was shocked! She told me that veterinary hospitals do what they have to do to get things done. Bottom line is, whatever it takes to make their clients happy and to make money.

That's when I tore up the paperwork. I'd rather volunteer at a no-kill shelter, knowing that all the animals there are treated with respect.

Neko1,

I hope you're not offended. I give you alot of credit for being able to work as a Vet Tech. I have less of a problem working as a paramedic than a Vet Tech. It takes a special person on both counts.
