OK - here's one for the books!!! Phony vet, phony gender, phony charity!

Of course, this is a story out of New Jersey. We do get more than our fair share here - I can't help but wonder if it's because we're so densely packed we begin to fragment. I don't know. Anyway, here's the story.... http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/Good-Dog--Bad-Bad-Vet.html WOW! I have so many mixed thoughts. The only thing they're charging this person with is the Unlicensed Practice of Medicine. To me that means that despite the lack of training, he/she wasn't harming the animals or misusing the money given to him. Perhaps he really was doing the things he claimed to be doing, just not through legal channels. If so, I can feel more sympathy for him than if he was outright taking money and doing nothing or pocketing the donations. Yes - he operated illegally, but if he put all the money into the animals, the worst thing was that he was unlicensed. Do you agree? Or should it be treated as though he was also guilty of Theft by Deception? Since they're not charging him with that, I can only assume he was doing everything a legit vet or rescue service would do, just without a license. What do you think? Of course, that doesn't keep this from being a very strange news story.
