animal cruelty ? - Page 5

olskoolgsd,

It's pretty much what I expected...lol

"On several occasions my dog got infection after surgery at vet's clinic."

Ok, you need a better vet.  In 40 years of owning dogs, I've never had one develop a post-op infection. 

"Well I do anything I can for my dogs before I go to the vet.I worked for one as a tech so I can do many things. Maybe not take off a tumor......I think he loves his dog.He could have just said screw it you cost me too much and dumped the dog!!!"

Ok, you're a TECH, and even you wouldn't take off a tumor, yet you defend the guy.  You have skills and knowledge, so you know what you're doing.  There's absolutely no comparison between you and this guy.  All the people saying, well, farmers do this....yeah, because they KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING.  This is not the same thing at all.

 

 

I know people who won't go to the dentist and solve their aches by doing their own teeth pulling. A bit on the wacko side, same as the R I homegrown surgeon. Clearly, neither are very competent.

"Country folk have always doctored their own animals...

I don't think someone who knows nothing of this life needs to make any decisions about it period.

City folk just don't get it."

Really?  Interesting because I lived for a while as a kid on a Morgan farm in bean Blossom and Doc Brester routinely provided the vet care to all of the animals there.  These were by no means wealthy people who owned this farm either.  They also hired a farrier!

"Tess, you can call this guy a hack or what ever but I will say this, I would take this man as my neighbor over you in a heart beat."

Same here for you.  Don't you get it?  This guy was so ignorant that he operated on an old dog because he didn't know that what he was operating on was harmless.  In addition to not knowing what he was even removing, he did a dirty job and caused infection, thereby leaving his old friend in worse shape than before. 

"He is not a control freak demanding eveyone march to his drum beat. More government intervention is all we need right folks."

Read what I wrote.  I'm angry with him because it's stupid people like him who get the laws passed that prevent those of us who do know what they're doing, from being allowed to do it without interference.  I agree that AC people are over the top control freaks, which is why it is especially important that hacks like this guy, who made no effort to find assistance to help with his old canine friend and instead carved him up in the kitchen and made him sick, keep their surgeon fantasies to themselves and do the right thing by their pets.

Last time I was in Bean Blossom everyone was getting high listening to Blue Grass.....lol

I gotta agree Tess,
I wouldn't want you for a neighbor, or serving on a Jury.

Sometimes just reading some of these threads can be animal cruelty.

I have often wondered what this country would be like if the South had won the war....

Just thought I'd wonder out loud...musing as it were.

And what if the Chinese overtook our nation?
Would we see a Crispy McKitty sandwich on the menu at McDonalds, or a Double Doggy Deluxe combo meal?

I have been up most of the night, I'm now the four wheel drive taxi service.
I finally got that new snow.


My head is splitting from a nicotine head ache, my stomach is growling from all the coffee, and my eyes hurt from driving at night in the snow storm.

Ahh,
Dreaming of Bean Blossom.

Moons.

Hey, last time I cut myself and went in for stitches (which is a bi-annual event for me), they treated me with super glue. Hmmm, maybe I should go back and pitch a fit!

That guy in the second article had one scary face, though. A bit demented.

"Last time I was in Bean Blossom everyone was getting high listening to Blue Grass.....lol"

Bill Monroe's Jamboree?  Is it even still there?

Moons -- go take a nap.  All these "things" that you are thinking about SCARES me.....LOL
