Tbh, I don't think this woman would be any harm to your pet. When in work mode I'm sure she doesn't relish killing dogs and cats and does her utmost to help her animals in work.

However, you absolutely should change vets on mere principal. Fox hunting is despicable and you don't want to in anyway be supporting this woman to do it by paying good money for her services, knowing what disgusting activities she spends her money on.

And your second point here brings me back to my first point in this thread. The selfishness of putting one's ideology before the health of the dog in question.

That point is meaningless, she is not the last vet on earth.

But we know from Amy that she is a good vet from previous experience. We know nothing of the calibre of a new vet.

The new vet could be hooked on ketamine

I'm sure Amy herself will. Unless, of course, you're questioning the calibre of Amy as a dog owner.

It's a flea treatment not a major operation

[joeysteele]

I wouldn't knowingly want anything to do with anyone supporting fox hunting.
If I knew someone was, they'd be out with me.
So no, you are not being unreasonable at all and for me, that Vet is in the wrong job completely.

[SherzyK]

And the fact that she takes so much pleasure and gloats about it on Facebook should be enough reason why you should change vets. So no, you’re not being unreasonable. She needs to be sacked

It's an odd thing to do as a Vet. Most people like to think of their pets Vet to be animal lovers so it's a strange choice for her to publicise something like her enjoyment of Fox hunting, it's kind of a silly business decision on her part, if nothing else.

I agree it seems strange and it's like the 2 things don't go together, however does that also mean people will kick up a fuss if they find out their vet is a meat eater ?? , How far do we go with principles? .

Well meat eating is the "norm" in our society so I would say no. Hopefully sometime in the future it won't be the norm though

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

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 .

[Amy Jade]

My dog isn't going to be ill if I postpone her flea treatment Alf

[thesheriff443]

You must have been happy with how the vets treated your dog before you found out she likes to hunt foxes.

I would image most vets see foxes as vermin and not as a pet, at the end of the day it’s your dog so you should decide where you take, but just because someone does or don’t hunt foxes it don’t make them a good or bad vet.

You missing the point.
A cull of vermin done in quick and humane way is very different from hunting an animal down and killing it for sporting pleasure.
Vets need to kill animals sometimes. But not for kicks That's sick

I’m not missing the point, I know the difference, it’s amy’s Choice.

[Niamh.]

It's your dog and your choice and your money so no

[Ant.]

You're far from unreasonable, if a vet values the lives of foxes so little I can only worry as to what their mindset in work is like

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?

I understand your views
You have a right to change vets.

Fox Hunting is banned
though

[Liam-]

Aren’t vets often payed to help humanely cull pests like foxes, rabbits and moles? ‘Vet is a Fox hunter’ might be a harsh headline, but it might not necessarily be that simple

there's a world of difference between humane and swift cull and chasing an animal to exhaustion and watch it being rip apart
can you not see that?

[Niamh.]

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