Also, I would say that eating meat is a bit different than spending you leisure time hunting down and killing an animal for the lols

Just found out the vets surgeon Elizabeth Gorse is a fox hunter and I want my dog to go elsewhere and cancel the booked in flea treatment for this week, for my mind if you actually enjoy watching an animal be ripped apart in terror you cannot be s true animal lover. My mum is fuming but I am standing firm, I can't hand-on-heart support a vet who enjoys fox hunting.

Am I being unreasonable?

Yeah I understand , like I said it is strange & unkind the whole fox hunting especially where a vet is concerned.

And Amy has every right to refuse that vet if she wants.

But some would argue if the person still does a good job then her personal hobby shouldn't matter .

You could of course argue that, I think it comes down to the individual though and how much this particular "sport" bothers them. For me personally, it would make me look at that person very differently and I would not be comfortable, indirectly I guess funding that hobby for them, if you get what I mean?

The reviews weren't fake, unless she doesn't actually hunt and that's fake news?

blood sports like fox hunting are on their way out, rightly so stay pressed
to enjoy killing an animal is beyond the pale, for a vet to do that is shameful

Yeah I completely get it , I'm not a fan of Fox hunting either . But I'm not sure I'd refuse the person's service based on that :shrug: . Plus what if the vet never shared their love of Fox hunting , you would still go to them without ever knowing . So it's one of those strange things.

They weren't lies so not fake news and not slander or whatever crime you were suggesting those that left them should be prosecuted for. As far as I'm aware it isn't against the law to leave a review stating why you wouldn't use a service?

I do wonder LT why you're so supportive of this Fox killing Vet but called this lady ignorant and arrogant? :think:

I hope they get rightly taken down and the idiots banned by Facebook
