I haven't seen the show and I saw it tonight Thursday the 27 of Dec.
I was so sad and disgusted with the show. I don't really writw reviews or comments but I was compelled to do it because I was so sad and really felt heartbroken to see this little pig and this pony going through these procedures without medication (at least not enough in the case of the pony and no pain or numbness medication for the pig) I understand they are animals but don't they deserve some compassion? And the medical? Instruments that dr Pol has are so old and dull that you could just imagine the kind of pain and discomfort these animals were experiencing.
I see that he is a older person and people like that are set in their ways and it is difficult to change their minds and make them see beyond their noses but really it was so painful to see even my 7 year old said that the vet did not have a heart.
I am surprised more people are not writing you and telling you how disheartening it is to see these things. I know that he helps but what a shock and fear some of these animals have to go through so he can be on TV. It is sad.
