Veterinarians are entitled to a decent living. Today we can keep animals alive when there is very little chance they can be cured or have a decent quality of life. We face issues of when enough is enough. It's evident that you have great respect for veterinary professionals and their work. In many respects, veterinary medical ethics is more difficult than human medical ethics.
Physicians serve the interests of their patients.
But from the very beginning, veterinarians have had two masters. Veterinarians are sometimes caught in the middle, wanting to serve both. However, I'm very positive about the ability of veterinarians to protect animals as well as people. So veterinarians are poised at exactly the right place to serve both human and animal interests. It was a very, very great loss for us.
