    Been thinking about pursuing a career as a veterinary assistant but fuck, don't think I could handle being involved in euthanizing animals. I've had issues with depression in the past so not sure I could really take it.

    I think I could handle just about any other part of the job but that.

    Presumably the real difficulty would be in seeing animals suffer - compared to that euthanasia would be and is indeed a kindness. Which isn't to say it isn't awful, but I believe that the more awful parts would be the parts before.

    I remain beyond traumatised by taking my dog to the vet after he had been hit by a car and that was almost half a lifetime ago

    So that won't lead to depression probably though if you are depressed this part of the job would be exacerbated. Depression is an unnatural state where thoughts are bent.

    When animals are euthanized because they're old or sick, it's preventing future pain and a short lifespan. Of course, we do have massive overpopulations so it gets done for no reason. That's rough.

    A good vet tech saved my cats life by helping me understand how to do fluid injections on my angry girl cat. Without Leah my cat would be dead because I didn't know how to corral someone who didn't understand that I had to stab her to save her life.

    As I understand it the problem vet techs have isn't with the old and sick pets, it's the sheer number of kittens and puppies that they have to kill because of industrialized pet breeding.

    For her I had to be soothing then stern

    I keep one hand on her scruff and prick her then one on her butt and I say very nice things in a soothing voice

    One of our neighbors breeds springer spaniels although I don't believe it's on a "puppy mill" scale.

    She gave us a puppy many years ago because it was born with some sort of vision defect(which got fixed) and she wouldn't be able to sell it or breed it.

    Nah, my cats let me get them whenever I want with minimal chasing. Even when she knew what was coming. I'm her dad and from my all good things flow.

    I like this story

    Elke the Drain Cat is nearly impossible to catch if she isn't lounging. Despite clearly viewing us as protectors and she's still a stray despite how young she was when we found her and running away from anything/everything is a strong response.

    The Crucible of the Application Process

    http://quillette.com/2017/04/20/crucible-application-process/
    When I would show these drafts to my writing fellows or scholarship advisors, the first question they would ask, almost unanimously, was but why do you care about extreme poverty?

    Well, because there’s no single problem on earth responsible for more suffering or needless waste of human life, I would respond.

    Yes, but why do you care about extreme poverty?

    What on earth did they mean? A number of them followed up by asking if I had witnessed anyone living in extreme poverty. No, I hadn’t. Had I or anyone I know ever contracted malaria or a neglected tropical disease? No. Did I feel I had a responsibility to the developing world as a beneficiary of colonialism? Not particularly. How did my privilege and my identity as a White Westerner contribute to my decision to focus on extreme poverty? It didn’t.

    I would have these exchanges over and over again throughout my application process. My essays would state that extreme poverty was the greatest problem in the world and I wanted to help solve it. They would ask why I wanted to help solve it. Because it’s the greatest problem in the world, I would say. And my interlocutor would respond with utter bafflement.

    the problem here, for me, is not that radical leftism is bad but that academics insist on practicing the dumbest possible version of it

    Pretty much.
    He's brainwashed and works for people that are deadset on toppling democratic countries to bring in fascism.

    I suppose the idea here is that Steve is a really nice villain with good intentions even when he's evil and forcing his will on others/innocent people. Basically a delusional idiot.
