Warning about Veterinarians

 For a discussion of the money grubbing tactics of tucson veterinarians,
see recent threads in rec.pets.cats.health+behavior ,
rec.pets.cats.community and alt.pets.cats.

Being in Tucson I find the vets main concern here is PROFIT above and
beyone animal welfare. Since many of the people who frequent the usenet
pets groups work in vet clinics, I thought I was largely alone until I
happenstanced on this web page, put up by someone I do not know who has
worked in vet clinics. http://tinyurl.com/2gqn3f  

And check out the shoddy job the Arizona State Licensing Board does with
oversight of AZ Veterinarians (typical do nothing State Gov. with no
standards) http://tinyurl.com/yq7f9r  

  And this is how the American Veterinary Medical Association's handles
dissent within it's ranks. http://tinyurl.com/2wecdc  

This is the type of leadership in this so-called "profession"

We have vets like that in our community as well, but I personally know
of two vets who do not have that mindset, and there are probably more.
Of course, my general neighborhood is probably far more populous than
Tucson (probably at least 300K people within a 5-mile radius of where I
live as the crow flies and undoubtedly just as densely populated for at
least twice that far), but if you hunt far enough, certainly you should
be able to find someone.

If you're trying to convince anybody of anything, the way to do it is
not by making broad generalizations like this.

Tucson is a big place; it's awfully hard to believe you know the main
concern" of every vet in the area. So we're left to assume you've had
a bad experience with one or two, and are tarring all the rest with
the same brush. That reflects on you, not them.
