Wherever you are there are always animals around whether they be cared for such as cats, dogs and horses and pets in general. We rely on vets for our pets good health but wild animals take their chance with few, if any, people to look after them, other than environmental projects, whereas we readily pamper our pets and  rush them off to the vets at every available opportunity!
