Why so green ♫

The Veterinarian that I admire is my great uncle, Joaquín Ipinza Regla.



He studied in this very University ( Universidad de Chile) and he graduated in 1962.
Being veterinarian, more than dedicate his attention to big animals, or more common animals that are treated by this kind of professionals (like cows,pigs,dogs, cats,etc.) he dedicated his life to little animals, like insects (yeah, insects) among which stand out the ants, species which he has dedicated most of his professional career (developing important researches). This peculiarity permitted him to be acknowledged (or called) by his pupils as “ The Ants professor”, when he was academic of the Faculty of Veterinary and Animal Sciences where he worked in Zoology area.

His charisma, his teaching quality and his valuable teachings that demonstrate that the life of all animals are significant, whether their size are( referring to his dear ants which he carried to classes in a terrarium) carried him to be one of the most appreciated professors by the students of that generation.

I have many reasons to explain why i decided to become a Vet.

The first reason: since when i was a child i want to work with animals (in my house always lived many types of animals, like dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and spiders)

The second reason: I love science and medicine.

The third and most important reason: I'm vegan (i don't eat and use anything with animal origin, like meat, milk, eggs, leather, wool and many other things). I love so much animals, and it's hard to me tolerate so many cruelty. They can't speak and defend himselves, but they can feel, anyway.

My ambition is not to win much money working (like a example) in Animal Production. I prefer work in Wildlife Conservation Sanctuaries or Organizations.

Well...

I'm studying Veterinary Medicine cause i love animals and nature. In my free time, i like to listen music (bands like FNM, RATM, Dream Theather, Rush and Massive Attack are my favourites), spend it viewing internet videos, see artistic movies, read classic literature and hang out with my friends.
