Brief history of veterinary medicine:

An early interest in animal diseases is found in ancient Greek writings on medicine. Veterinary medicine began to achieve the stature of a science with the organization of the first school in the field in Lyons, France, in 1761, followed soon by similar schools in other parts of Europe. In the United States, veterinary schools came into existence about the time of the Civil War, and there are now a number of accredited schools of veterinary medicine affiliated with colleges and universities. In 1884 the Bureau of Animal Industry was established in the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture to deal with animal disease problems in the fast-growing livestock industry. Veterinary research has made important contributions to medical science in general. Vaccination methods devised by Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch for animals were found effective for humans also. Veterinarians inaugurated the inspection of meat and milk to prevent the spread of tuberculosis. The development since World War II of live-virus and modified live-virus vaccines and of antibiotics, sulfonamides, and other biological products has brought about a marked change in veterinary medicine. An important innovation was the mass immunization of poultry through sprays, dusts, and agents added to drinking water. Many animal diseases hitherto considered incurable can now be prevented or controlled by these new therapeutic agents, and this in turn has greatly increased the output of livestock and poultry products.

I find this interesting since my first job was as an assistant to a repstected German veterinarian. All white staff, including the veterinary technicians. Those of you who have dealt extensively with vets know their character and understand why niggers are not represented in this field and never will be. Veterinary medicine is complex and requires patience plus compassion. The last time I was in a vets office was after my cat got poisoned, and the veterinarian had the utmost attention to detail and concern for my pet and myself. It instantly reminded me why veterinary medicine is an all white profession.

Educators desperate for non-white representation in the field:
