682653 2008-06-26 08:36:00 Am wondering, for all you pet owners here. When your pooch/kitty/rodent/illegal pet gets sick/injured/whatever, and you take him/her/it to the vet, do you think you are in any way affected if the vet is an Asian man?

I'm considering to go into that field, but what my ever-so-wise mother told me today has got me thinking.

So, do you care in any way of the ethnicity of a man in such profession, or do you only care about his skills to save your pooch?

682654 2008-06-26 08:41:00 Although ours is not Asian I wouldn't have a problem with it. Same as if my GP was Asian - as long as they fix me up when I need it I don't have a problem. With regards to servicing pussy - well I don't need a vet to do that.:D vitalstatistix (9182)

Say what? If my vet was an Asian man I'd merely be thinking the chances are he studied his profession well and graduated with top marks ...

682658 2008-06-26 09:21:00 My GP is Asian, brilliant bloke. Only Asian I've met with a sense of humour.

Probably be a good vet too.

And he'd be good at maths, so you know your bill will be correctly astronomical :D

The problem that my mother sees is the stereotype that says Asians eat cats and dogs (that most Asians like me find extremely pissy and annoying).

While that is true in many cases, as for me you'll find that I'll eat one of you guys before you see me eating a dog or a cat! :D

682660 2008-06-26 09:52:00 Frankly I don't give a damn (to quote Rhett Butler from "Gone with the Wind) so long as the pet has good care in his or her hands.

If a person wants to get into being an animal doctor I say go for it regardless of what the parent(s) may say.

Recently I took one of my cats to the local Vet for immunisation against cat flu etc and an Asian lady took care of this.

Get a vocation you will be happy with for the rest of your life!

Well I decided I will not take either of my pets to a cannibal regardless of origin.
