This might be a stupid question for Animal Science majors...

Thanks for the replies. I don’t have a problem with having patients die on the table or handling very sick/dying animals, my problem is more with the fact that a healthy animal would be euthanized for dissection. I understand you are killing one to save a lot, but it still doesn’t sit well with me.

I have experience volunteering at two animal shelters over 2 years, and I’ve had pets all my life. I think it’s best I stay away from majors involving animals.

I’m not sure what other careers can come out of a major in animal sciences. I haven’t researched as far as vet school, and I’m thinking this really isn’t for me. Thank you for your help.
