When I was younger I wanted to become a Vet, or join the RSPCA. I thought it was a logical step for me, as I've always "cared" about wildlife, and had an interest in Nature.Unfortunately the fact that I cared meant that I couldn't even pass the RSPCA test where you have to kill a Cow. I think this test still remains a requirement. In case you are thinking it, I've been a Vegetarian for more than 20 years, so killing, or encouraging the killing, of animals just isn't in my nature.It's taken me a few years to accept, that in Nature, for something to live something else has to die. But I can never accept that any animal suffers for no reason whatsoever, which seems to be the case in this story.</blockquote>
