Amanda Plunkett, an animal science major, talks about her job at the Swine Facility, and how it relates to her ambition to be a veterinarian. Produced in March 2008.
I am looking at UC Davis.How do you like the animal science program at UC Davis? Would you suggest the program to others? Is there a lot of math involved? Did you need to get a super high ACT/ SAT score? I like animals but I don't want to be a vet.
Do you ever get sad knowing that the pigs you "take care of" are going to be killed, and then most likely eaten by some average immoral fat american who is selfish and wastes resources? Jane Goodall, the scientist, said that to produce 55 lbs of meat it takes 2 acres of land that could be used to feed MORE people... like the ones starving in other countries... animal farming is BAD for the environment. What made you want to become a food-animal vet?
