Dr. Judith Samson-French explains how the “gold standard” isn’t always what an animal actually needs.
Dr. Samson-French challenges that culture: real care means meeting animals and their humans where they are — not forcing protocols that cause financial or emotional harm. 🐾💔✨

In vet school, Dr. Moni Ramirez began rescuing stray dogs and cats, but quickly realized the shelters were forced to euthanize animals simply for lack of space. 💔
That’s when she dedicated her life to spay and neuter work, performing up to 40 surgeries a day.
