It is unfortunate that you obviously have no experience working with animals, if you did you would understand that an animal has no clue what you are doing for them. The way they scream and whine and carry on is no different than a toddlers temper tantrum. Would you let your toddlers screaming and crying at the Dr. office prevent you from them getting their much needed medical attention? Would you then bad mouth the Dr. for doing what he has been trained to do? By the way Dr.s and Vets do know the difference between pain and a tantrum. Maybe you should educate yourself and watch Ceasar Milan or any other program that deals with animals and see if they all remain quiet while they are being examined. Yes I do know what I am talking about, I worked at a veterinary clinic for over 3 years and had animals all my life. No I do not know Dr. Allen, in fact I have never even heard of him until recently. Some times in life you have to use tough love and do what is best for your animal/loved one even tho they protest!

Anonymous: I can't speak for Dr. Allen's clinic or his veterinary practices. However, I found his arguments intelligent and far from laughable - despite the fact I disagree with Dr. Allen on a number of issues.

Donald K. Allen, might be proud not to be a lawyer, however, he is a horrific veterinarian. I've heard horror stories, and have witnessed how he treats animals with no care, he treats animals with brutal force unnecessary by anybodies standards.

I remember bringing in a puppy of mine, at about 7 or so weeks, and he handled her as if she were an alligator, holding her snout shut, not even allowing her to breathe, causing her to cry and attempt to squirm away in pain and fear. This traumatized my dog for life, she has been afraid of vets and animal hospitals her entire life. I honestly felt like he was endangering my dog in a way that made me feel as if I were going to have to attack Donald for my dogs safety.
Worst yet, we took my dog to get 'fixed,' and the nurses were fighting with my dog instead of working with my dog to keep my dog comfortable. The procedure caused a urinary tract infection in my pet which leads me to believe the man's practice is even more questionable.

I would never vote for such a narrow, one-tract minded individual to be President, I think his practice should be investigated also. The fact that this man is running for President is quite laughable, and scary, such a man is too militant and unreasonable on any accounts, his ideas lack any intellectual input or esoteric understanding.
