Week 2: Reflecting Writing

Working as a vet assistant for the past 6 months has opened my eyes to the world. There may be lots of animal cruelty happening in Singapore but i am glad that there are also people, who are extremely compassionate, helping out animals in need. Spaying and neutering stray cats and dogs is one of the most common type of operations we perform in the clinic as it is the most important step to reduce the number of strays in Singapore. Moreover, sterilising these animals can help to prevent prostate cancer and other illnesses that can develop when they grow older. Working in an animal clinic has taught me to be more compassionate to animals and that, even though we are of different species, everyone should play a part in helping them.
