When you are inflicting pain onto your patients it's hardly 'humane' euthanasia. Any goon can figure that out. He needs to stop playing dumb here.

Cannot imagine this guy keeping his vet license at all. This guy should find a new profession, he definitely is NOT an animal person!

How about no euthanasia EVER! I went with my Westie when he had to be put down. He was about 14 at the time and his best friend (our other dog) had been put down the year before because of numerous ailments. I always said the Westie died of a broken heart. Anyway, I digress..... One injection under the skin (don't remember what it was) and he went to sleep (died) peacefully. The vet was kind and compassionate.

This jerk, on the other hand, should have his license revoked because it is obvious he cares nothing for animals.

This guy shouldn’t be a vet. I even know that compassionate vets sedate the animal first before injecting them. I never heard of injecting them in the heart, I thought an IV was used in a vein after they were sedated.

He needed a law to tell him this was cruel and painful? Hopefully he will not be allowed to practice vet med anymore. No telling what else he is or isn't doing behind closed doors.

This is cruel. How can someone think it is humaine to inject an animal with this way into thier heart and expect it not to hurt. I wonder if the law is federal or if it is a state law and I wonder if anyone is going to take thier animals to see this guy again! I would never take one of my pets to see this vet and I would suggest any one do some background searching before taking thier pets to any vet.

"didn't know?!" Dude, that is NEVER an excuse. And even if he is telling the truth, isn't common sense? If he's a vet, he should have some respect for his patients.

Only 12 misdemeanor counts, not even all of which were for cruelty? I thought that in the original article it said that he performed over 2400 euthanasia procedures in a year! Does anyone else see a problem with those numbers?

What a shame to the animals. There is never a "good" way to go (putting an animal down), but there is a right way. There are laws for a reason and I am glad to hear that the vet can't put any animals down for 5 years although I really think they should have revoked his license. Shame on him for being such an ignorant jerk.

This is the method we are tought to euthanize but the animal is suppose to be comatose before you use the final drug. It is not an easy thing to do with animals everyday but he knows better and needs to pay the price for what he did.
I get so mad that I have to euthanize animals due to over crowding at the shelter. I have opened a rescue but I know it will fill up fast and we will not be able to take them all in.

Even if this Dr. Baber was truly unaware that an ordinance banning the heart shot method of euthanasia was in effect, as a trained professional in the field of animal care, you would think that affinity for animals would be second nature to him. He was Morally obligated to put his patients "down" in the most humane way possible.

If all else fails plea ignorance. He needs to stop being a vet period. It should be against the law for him to even look at an animal. Obviously he didn't keep up on things. What else did he screw up.

When his practice reopens, if anyone still uses him, they are no better. He should go down in flames over this. I agree, what other corners has he cut. Doesn't sound like he is very compassionate at the worst time in an animal's life.

He should be sentenced to five years of full-time free work at the closest shelter. He obvously has some knowledge or he wouldn't be a vet and they could use the help. Any slip-ups and he should be
fined and incarcerated.

He must take some sick pleasure from euthanising animals in this manner. He should lose his license. And if he doesn't, I'd post poster size copies of this article all over the town in which he wants to practice.

It's really sad and pathetic that a veterinarian, of all people, would exhibit cruelty against animals. This just violates everything that a vet should stand for.

Better watch this man for longer than four years. Ignorance is his excuse. Ignorance should be a reason to remove him from his veterinary practice. Assume he didn't know as he said and therefore is unfit to be a veterinarian.
