What is the difference between a humanitarian and a veterinarian?

[Voice for Peace]

I'm asking for your point of view, thanks.

1. Lipstick? n/t

3. Veterinarians are only interested in helping humans who served in the military?

[Voice for Peace]

15. OK it took me a few minutes before I got this.. :)

I think you're right. But it might be "Veteraninarians"

and what exactly is a veteran arian?

[Voice for Peace]

16. Yeah, what is a veteran arian?

somebody who's been white for a long long time?

5. Not sure of your point, but vets have a veterinarian degree. So that's one difference, but not

excluded by your question. One could be a humanitarian *and* a veterinarian.

7. Veterinarians have a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine

DVM

[pinto]

10. Yeah, that's my point. Didn't understand the original query.

Thanks for the specific degree info.

:hi:

[Voice for Peace]

11. but could one be a humanitarian, but not a veterinarian?

[Voice for Peace]

12. or worse, a veterinarian but not a humanitarian?

[Voice for Peace]

13. or do they have the same basic job?

[pinto]

17. I don't get your query. You obviously have a point, but I don't get it. I guess

it's along the line of ethics? But I'm guessing. Thanks.

18. No, it was a funny word play that came up in a conversation about Nigerian scams

and whether or not humanitarians were suckers, and then it turned to veterinarians and how like humanitarians they are, and vice versa.

thanks for asking. there is no point, really, I am just interested in what people think.On the subject maybe of people who work from their hearts... edit: I think humanitarians and veterinarians may have that in common.

6. That question belongs up there with...

...why do we park in driveways, but drive on parkways? or
...why do we ship cargo, but cargo goes by ship?

Pithy. :)

8. humanitarians don't pick your pockets n/t

[Voice for Peace]

14. but does a true veterinarian pick pockets?

australian veterinarians aside

[arthritisR_US]

19. the ones I dealt with last summer sure did ..to the tune of $2000...n/t

[Voice for Peace]

20. you're right. was it the holistic vets in maryland by any chance?

[arthritisR_US]

21. no, a vet chain here in western Canada. n/t

9. well trained veterinarians learn medical aspect of multi-species

INCLUDING humans. Humans are just another animal species, after all sharing many many similarities with domestic livestock and companion animals, including dogs and cats. If the implication of this thread is to suggest veterinarians-- because of their compassion for animals-- are somehow less humanistic, just go the hell away.

If that is not the point of this thread, kindly explain what your objective might have been...:shrug:

22. One is an avocation the other is a vocation. The words just sound alike.

They really have not entomological link.
