I just recently started shadowing in the large animal hospital here at UGA.
And we have a cow and goat that live together in one stall.
I have noticed this week the nurse has hit the goat right across the neck twice. Hard enough for it to be loud enough. The goat didnt do anything to warrant it. I wouldnt want getting hit in the neck like that either.
I noticed the cow got slapped in between the eyes (on its face) because he was trying to follow the goat out of the stall. But I figured thats ok, it wasn't that hard even though you could slightly hear that one.
Then today they were getting ruminants from the cow. She hit the cow two or three times with a thick rope, loud enough for every one to hear it. She did this in front of 3 vet school students and 1 person who is just regular staff in the barn. And 2 other vet tech nurses nearby heard that noise.
I know the goat and cow belong to the school but is this pretty common and acceptable in your profession?
