Dr Chris Brown

I'm sorry but he is not a great vet, if he scrubbed in for an ortho on my dog, prepped the way I saw him - minus a cap and mask, I would have had a freakin fit. Ortho surgeries are serious and the potential for infection is huge, and to go on TV and not even be properly gowned up, that is just stupid!

Haha, steady up love. You'll give yourself a nose bleed   An ignorant hypocrite hey? Very interesting. No such thing as an animal lover who eats meat you reckon?? Wake up sweetheart. Go take a look at how life in the country works. Try that little speech on them and see how ya go     .....

it's a different kind of love, you love domestic animals I presume, and believe they are more important than farm animals like pigs and cows.

A person who loved ALL animals couldn't bring themselves to eat one, it doesn't really take a rocket scientist to work that one out.

Edit: you had to like your own post, because no-one else would.. lol!

No, I don't believe domestic animals are 'more important' than farm animals. I love pigs, cows etc. I just don't believe people who choose NOT to be ''vegos'' are lesser human beings. You guys who condemn people who aren't vegetarians... If you asked your grandparents or great grandparents about being vegetarian, they'd probably laugh. Because that is all people knew... Even now, country people who own farms care for and nurture their animals, but certainly aren't monsters for not being ''vegan''. I just think that's so judgmental.

I found an ad in a 2005 edition of better homes and gardens magazine with him advertising Iams pet food. Eating meat doesn't make him a worse vet, although I am curious as to his views on factory farming and Iams testing on animals (surely he must know about both)

Bonbear, actually those who were brave enough to stand out were vegans and vegetarians. All the great minds such as Einstien, Davinchi, Lincoln,  Bob Barker, Buddha. Just go look at this.

We dont think we are "better", but we do accept we are more compassate and caring towards fellow animals. Let me ask you something?

Do you use bug spray? Would you step on a cockroach if you saw it in your house? Or swat a fly? These insects dont hurt us, yet because of marketing and advertising we are scared of them. A vegan wouldnt hurt anything unless it was to protect themselves. Swatting a fly which carrys less germs than your keyboard is not protecting.

We are not here to attack, but Animals Australia and Unleashed are trying to move the world into a more compassionate caring one. As omnivores that need vegetables to sustain us we can easily evolve.

Did you know if you stop drinking cows milk within weeks you can become lactose intolerat? Because we are not meant to keep that enzyme working.

How can you love something and go ahead and eat it?
would you eat your dog, or child? I just honestly don't understand it.

When did anyone in here ever say that people who aren't vegan or vegetarian are lesser human beings?

"We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form."

Perhaps amongst humans non-vegans aren't monsters but certainly to the innocent animal at their mercy they are.

On the Chris Brown croc thing, often the main reason people get things done on tv shows is because the station pays for it. If you were desperate for your dog to have an operation but couldn't afford it, you'd call him.

On the veg animal lover thing, I was active in WISPA, Greenpeace and the Marine Conservation Society before I was veg or vegan. You can love animals and still eat them, it's not necessarily a link you have to make when the meat consumption process is so indirect.

And I think persecuting omnivores serves no purpose.

I agree. But to love animals and continue eating them does require some level of disconnect.
