BBC1 - It shouldnt happen to a vet

[yelenots]

Is anyone watching it? Its dreadful :(

[boxtops]

Yes I am yelenots - it's awful.

[Roughquest]

Yes I am, and Im disgusted and upset by this....you take your beloved pet to be treated, and looked after and they do this, who knows what happens behind closed doors even at your own local vet...shocking...Im scared to take my pets now to any vet....

[yelenots]

Medivet should be made to close down

[boxtops]

They do say that hundreds of procedures were undertaken safely and kindly, the films are obviously showing us the worst cases, but it's awful that the vet company doesn't seem to be taking any responsibility. My vet is not part of this group and my cats never seem distressed when they go there. I can but hope.

glad i did not see this i really get upset about poorly treated animals i'd start thinking about when i go to bed and that would be me awake till dawn

[looobylooo]

i was going to watch it, but i just couldnt bring myself to - im glad i didnt now! .. it really upsets me to see animal cruelty

[boxtops]

They were keen to say that there was no "cruelty" and the animals all fully recovered - but the people they showed (and I suspect that they cherry-picked the bad bits) were not caring about the animals, some of them treated it all as quite a joke. I had to watch but it was very uncomfortable viewing.

From the lunchtime news several people have been suspended and one vet has been fired. I didnt watch the programme, like jacksprat I would have been thinking about it and not been able to sleep. Hate any type of cruelty especially to helpless children or animals
