I hate the ugly part of my job.
I've seen many animals being put to sleep since the start of my job. Most of the time, I manage to convince myself that heaven will be a better place for them because they are suffering down here.
But today, I saw the ugliest side of all.
The ugly part where I have to see vet putting down PERFERCTLY healthy animals and I can't do anything about it. Because I'm just a tiny little vet tech who does not have the authority to have a say.

Today, there's this owner that decided to put to sleep his dog because he say the dog had turn aggressive and had bitten 3 person. I donno what's his defination of aggresive because as far as I know, I approached the dog, play with him and I wasnt bitten at all. In fact, that poor little dog was happily wagging its tail and smiling at me with his most innocent eye ever. He's just so friendly without showing a single sign of aggression. I'm angry at the owner who decided to put to sleep the dog. I'm angry at the owner for being so irresponsible and did not try to find out the cause of his aggression. But i'm more angry at the vet. I'm angry that she did not try to persuade the owner not to do it. Arent vets suppose to be more well educated in terms of animal stuff? Can't she tell that the dog is not aggressive towards strangers? Can't she tell that this could be a behavioural problem that can be solved? Or maybe it can be that the dog have some sickness that causes this behavioural change? Where is the ethics of being a doctor? She did not even give that dog a second chance to live. Or worst still, she did not give the dog a reason why it have to die. The dog was so happy wagging its tail and it does not know that it's gonna be put down at all. That expression, that eye...I just can't bear to see it at all.

Sorry doggie. I tried to asked. But all I got was a "No" as an answer. Maybe I did not try hard enough. I should have bring up the courage to say more. I'm so sorry.
Seriously, I felt so disgusted by the act of this vet today. utterly disgusted. utterly disappointed.
I don't like. Don't like this ugly truth of life.

To all the vets-to-be who happen to read this,
please don't do this to the animals when u become a vet next time. Give them a chance to live. If can't, at least have a more convincing and suitable reason to do so. Not some lame reasons which doenst make sense at all.
