If an individual truly believed the above statement, how could he or she
possibly work making a living as a veterinarian?????  Vets DO NOT leave
animals "to their own accord", nor do they simply repair the damage done
by abusive humans.
 
This organization sounds ridiculously extremist.  Are they advocating
de-domestication of dogs, cats and farm animals as well as ferrets????
 
So, if that came to pass, how would the vets of AVAR support themselves?
Oh, I guess they are soooo selfless and dedicated to their cause that
they're willing to render their own jobs obsolete?  Or, hahaha, are they
all planning on becoming "wildlife re-habbers" in the future?  :-D
