    I am going to attend college and graduate school to become a vet. My main concern is that a lot of the colleges i applied to are for major in Animal Science and are Agriculture and Science… I do not want to have and harm animals or raise ‘food’ for people! The only college i applied to that does not fall under this major/category is Morrisville State College for Equine Science, management and rehabilitation where you can choose to focus on Breeding, Racing or Rehab i would focus on Rehab. However Vet school is competitive and i worry that if i go to this college because it is smaller and not a well known university that i will not get into vet school…… I will still have to take Biology, and those science courses to become a vet where i know Disections will occur and i will NOT participate in them. I have heard aweful stories from others who attended Ag Colleges how they had to kill turkeys, slam piglets into the concrete to kill them… i do not want any part in that. So i am kinda stuck.

    I applied to University of MN Twin Cities
    Uc Davis
    Morrisville State College and
    Penn State Fayette

    What should i do?

    Hey, I am also going to school for Vet studies, I understand your concern on animal disection, etc. For a good education, I think you’d have to just do it :( Thats what I’m having to do….

    I really cannot say much because there are so many details. I have a new favorite song every day... I am the sterotypical nerd/dork. I absolutley adore horror/gore films, documentaries, and foreign films. I love Edgar Allan Poe, William Shakspeare and Charles Dickens. You could say that i dont have a life because i spend most of my time writing papers, reading, and listening music. I know all these randomn, insane facts. I am what some may call a conspiricy theorist. Even describing myself is a lot. So i guess if you have any questions just ask :D

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
