Hi Bernardo, Thanks for enlightening us on why you thought the clip was obnoxious. Yes, veterinary medicine does entail some highly disgusting procedures (neutering is a polite way of referring to the barbaric practice of physically castrating virile males - a necessary evil for pets and domestic animals ;-)
I remember my surprise (and disgusted) at being told, at my interview with the Dept. of Veterinary Services and Animal Husbandry in Panjim prior to being accepted at the Bombay Veterinary College, that as part of my training, I would have to manually rake out dung from a cow's (or for that matter, buffalo's) rectum to make place for my arm... up to my shoulder! That is an essential part of checking the reproductive status of the female bovine. Obviously not for the uninitiated but eye-opening for the public (and the cow ;-)!

Since the first episode displayed on RTPi and with the exception of bharat political correctness (like they say here in india blah, blah) the CG series has shown a lot of Goan talent in the cultural front. Now suddenly in the current epsiode (first of the three parts in the program) they show a vet sticking his hand 1 meter deep in a cow's bum, and more bum sticking with thermo is not very cultural. IM HO it is OK for this kind of 'shots' to be shown on an animal program or vet education. BTW who am I? Only my opinion! I am not against vets!
