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 .

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?

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 . 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.

That would be your choice and obviously if you don't know something you can't react to it. At the end of the day the woman is running a business caring for peoples beloved pets, she must have known that partaking in that particular hobby would be controversial and may cause people to stop using her service because of it and she made a choice to do it anyway so...
