Then gets off after one year in prison? The man fits the definition of a sociopath. The Vet Board should have been astute--and caring--enough to see that. And should never have given his license back. That entire board should have been replaced with people who take their responsibility seriously. Just shameful. And unbelievable what occurs in this country. Convicted for hiring a hit man? Then gets off after one year in prison? The man fits the definition of a sociopath.

here’s someone licensed by the state with dead animals in a bag AT HIS HOUSE ( not at his work which would also be sick). the word missing,HB, from the original story is ” dogs”- bags of dead decomposing dogs. also missing is the description of the coating of urine and poop found all about.

that is what is called hoarding.

If you have to have your pet put to sleep, please stay with your pet while they do it, or at least ask to spend a few moments with the deceased pet afterwards. That is,,, if you dont plan on taking the body home with you. You would be amazed at how many people say their final goodbyes to the pet and then leave before the procedure is even performed. Just a word of caution. Horrible to think about, but I felt that I should mention it.

The one totally unhinged chick who said she was studying to become a veterinarian, but she'd rather be a star, and when she didn't make it, she got angrier and angrier and angrier. Like, a little scary -- anger management issues. Makes me wonder about the kinds of people who are attracted to veterinary medicine. While most of them probably go into it for the "right" reasons, I believe there is a subset that go into it for access to helpless beings they can take their frustration out on.

He hired a hit man for crying out loud, to kill somebody. Is it any wonder he keeps animals in this condition? To state the obvious, there goes the abuse connection again: As someone treats animals, so they will treat people, and vice versa. But these State Vet Boards don't think ANYTHING is bad enough to take a vets license away. It's so crazy. Stefani The Toonces Project http://www.TheTooncesProject.com "Is Your Pet Safe at the Vet?"
