fwiw, i agree with dvmd and lis to the extent people WITHIN the industry should be showing more restraint. whenever someone is speaking as a professional they should reflect well on the profession. didnt realize vetts themselves were part of the lync mob.
I don't think anyone regardless of being in or not in the profession should be harassing and threatening a person. Harassment and threats directed at an individual are illegal in every state in this country. Nobody should be threatening her and those who are if caught should be prosecuted as well. I don't get why you'd think it is ok for ANYONE regardless of their connection to the veterinary profession to harass somebody and to break the law themselves. Like I said, just because someone murders a child doesn't give anyone the right to cause that individual physical harm or to even threaten physical harm (no matter how much you might think it). The law still applies no matter how horrific the crime committed by the individual was. You don't get a free card to break laws simply because the other person did (self defense being the only exception). You can think all the bad crap you want but once you harass or threaten someone (verbally or in writing), you are violating laws, what you do for a living simply doesn't matter.
