Miss Z

I've been thinking about your thread. I agree that they are losers. But may I suggest an alternative to "ignorant"--at least for some of them?

Sounds to me like some of them are being bullies. They're just being nasty because they can. And probably some of them are just a little jealous or feel somehow threatened. ("I eat meat...does that make me bad? No, I'll just say something nasty to the vegetarian to prove I'm better.")

Jerks.

But here's another thought: These type of people don't go away. Many of them mature and stop this nonsense, but many people don't.

As a vet, you'll meet people that will exasperate you every day. So, think of this as practice.

Good luck to you and congratulations on your noble career selection!
