Hiya Doug.....I can tell you as a livestock producer, cattle, sheep, Angora Goats, chickens, ducks, geese, not to mention dog and cat owner, having a decent veterinarian is a gift from the heavens.

Just as I would forego my needs for the well-being of my daughters when they were little, so too would I do it for my pets and my livelihood.

I, for one, salute all the decent veterinarians I've worked with over the years and also the others around the country I am not acquainted with....y'all are truly one of man's best friends.

Cat owners could be prosecuted for cooping up pets and not giving them the chance to roam in a garden.

Are apartment tenants and condominium owners forbidden from having cats? BTW, I once got a harness for my cat and tried to take him for a walk so he'd get some fresh air. Was more like taking him for a 'drag'--he didn't like it one bit.

I don't like the government getting more involved in our lives for any reason - people should give good care to their animals because it's the right thing to do.

Amen! We need to be wise stewards of our world, and we can figure out how to do that without the gov't.
