Leaving the profession will not save even one animal from torture, as it will not make it any more difficult for patients to get those meds.
As Jeff says, I am obliged to redirect EHC supplies, but my refusal can still make a difference, and if I am given the option of refusing, it makes sense to take advantage of small mercies.
If all the pharmacists in a local area opted out of EHC, a half-drunk couple would think twice before a quick one, and more couples would have to take responsibility for what they started, rather than perverting the nature of sex. Perversion, even behind closed doors, leads to negative repercussions for everyone when the perpetrators come out into society....
You say "if you feel so strongly about animal welfare" as though that's a strange thing. A quote from American author Alice Walker; "The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men".
Not so long ago, racism was legalised in many parts of the world. I want speciesism abolished, because Speciesism Sucks. So no, I don't go crazy thinking of evil perpetrators, I'm at the other end of the spectrum, and am completely sane. I do my bit by working with animal rights organisations such as PETA, campaigning in my spare time.
