Two Minnesota vets refuse to treat an animal from a no-kill farm sanctuary

16. I posted a message to Buffalo Equine on facebook

Not sure what to make of their response.

Me: You should have helped the steer who had leg trouble at the Spring Farm Sanctuary.

Them: Thank you for your questions and concerns.
The facts of the story are not completely true. The quote is 100% false. 90% of the animals we treat are not intended for slaughter. We also cannot comment on this case due to client confidentiality.

Our farm animal doctor treats cattle, sheep, goats etc. The large majority of which are pets and sanctuary or rescue animals. You have been misled and misinformed.

Me: I think Sanctuary Farms would be ecstatic if you commented. If they approve of your commenting, there should not be a problem with client confidentiality. If you cannot even explain why you did not treat the injured steer, how can I understand the truth that is not being told?


Them: Please refer to above comments as to why we cannot comment. If further explanation on client confidentiality is needed this can be explained by the state board of veterinary medicine. Again, we appreciate your compassion and concern.
