I know I oculdn't because I don't think I could put an animal to sleep - or watch them in pain.

Sometimes that's the most gratifying part, is to euthanize an animal. I have PTS hundreds of pets, yes hundreds, and some of them are very heartbreaking but others are meant to go. It's a great feeling when you can ease the pain of an animal and let them go, know when it's their time, instead of being selfish and keeping them here in pain and agony.


I have seen several abuse cases, and it was my job to console these pets, to make sure their last time spent on earth was laying in gentle arms, and to feel love, even for one second. The look of thanks that they give you sends chills down your spine, they know you love them enough to end their suffering and for that they thank you deeply.



I just know that I want to work with “pets” only and never any “industry” animals/racing horses/racing greyhounds, etc. In my mind animals are not ours to be used for food, clothing, entertainment, or experimentation. There is probably nothing I hate more than a factory farm!
Are you a vegan? Do you go to the circus, or zoo, or aquarium? Why are you being prejudice over the animals? It's not their fault they are in those situations. Would you really turn them away if one should need your help? What about rescued greyhounds? Are you saying that animals bred for food deserve less? Why not help those animals and try to make their lives better, instead of turning them away? Do you wear leather, use glue etc?

The fact remains that humans are omnivores, we eat both plant and MEAT. That is never going to change.
