leadpenny - you and I haven't crossed paths to speak to one another directly before apparently. I'm on a few vet ping lists, so note others know me.
I don't attempt to stifle free speech for anyone.
I'm not a vet myself, just a 20-year partner to one.
I just thought this zarf person was way out of line with what he said about vets.
I think it's easy to get caught up in the anonymity of FR and to say things we wouldn't say if a dozen, or so, of us were sitting around a table. The last thing anyone would say is for someone to leave the room for what they believe.
There are many good posts throughout the thread that challenge and counter zarf's position and he responded to many of them accordingly. Civil debate is probably the best way to influenced someone else.
Thanks for your post.
