What’s MOST remarkable to me is a Veterinarian making nearly half a million dollars a year.

On the other hand, I own dogs and, after many years of paying vet bills, now take my dogs to Tractor Supply vet clinic. Same impersonal service at about a third the cost. Immunizations? only the bare minimum. Dogs are healthy and my bank account is better for the decision.

Yeah. In my town a vet clinic charges $950 to spay a cat. The vet 4 blocks down the road, with a small office, charges $350 for the same procedure. The clinic vet will not even come in nights or weekends for. emergencies. We have to go 40 miles away for an emergency.

Key word in the “story” as written is the word “Equine”. And the words, Palm Beach in Flori—duh!!

Horse people, not pleasure riders, but “investors” likely in racehorses. This conjures up memories of great stories written by Dick Francis of the criminal world of horse racing.

Some (probably not many anymore here) will remember the true story of former vp candidate John Edwards’ (of NC John Kerry’s erstwhile running mate) girlfriend/baby mama, Rielle Hunter (iirc) whom he tried to hide in the Governor’s Club outside of Raleigh. Had his out of wedlock baby. Edwards was found out by National Enquirer (no kidding). Now as to Ms. Hunter— her daddy was convicted of insurance fraud, as he killed racehorses for their owner’s insurance payout. Disgusting- he once killed Ms. Hunter’s quarter horse for his own payout. How?— he electrocuted horses, one time in downtown Gainesville, FL a horse in a trailer in a parking lot in the dead of night. Real scum— appalling, and his daughter said she was a “videographer” for Edwards. All of these people— demonrats....hmmm.
