Chatham Animal Clinic

User Rating: 2 out of 5 stars

I am a Virginia farmer raising Boer meat goats and Angus beef as well as the owner of 20 wonderful horses. Over the years Dr. Paul Erwin has done a splendid job of caring for my pets but I must say that I am not happy with him. When he became a vet he took an oath:Veterinarian's Oath

(Adopted by the House of Delegates, July 1969, amended by the Executive Board, November 1999)



Being admitted to the profession of veterinary medicine, I solemnly swear to use my scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society through the protection of animal health, the relief of animal suffering, the conservation of animal resources, the promotion of public health, and the advancement of medical knowledge.

I will practice my profession conscientiously, with dignity, and in keeping with the principles of veterinary medical ethics.

I accept as a lifelong obligation the continual improvement of my professional knowledge and competence.

I say he is breaking his oath by not being against horse slaughter.
He also knows the medications used to keep horses healthy and that the vast majority say not to use on animals intended for human consumption. With his knowledge of medications and the fact that some of his clientele send horses to slaughter and he knows it I say he is also violating federal laws. This is very unethical as the tainted meat is shipped to Europe for human consumption.
