Well this occurred to me since I'm an aspiring vet, do you think it makes sense to save animals lives and then let them be mass produced just to slaughtered? Can you image having a pack of sausages with your name on it since you were born? Isn't their existence futile in its purest form?

I'd say that so long as the meat is reared and killed ethically then there's no problem. I'm an aspiring naturalist myself, and I've often wondered whether or not eating meat is hypocritical, but I always come to the conclusion that it's a natural thing (provided it's ethical and not tainted by GM). Vegetarianism is a very personal thing, but I can see no more reason for a vet to be veggie than anybody else.

It sounds contradictory, but I think a vet can eat meat.
It is natural for humans to eat meat. The human body needs the proteins obtained from it. Vegetarians sometimes have trouble regulating this.
Lions and Wolves don't think it twice before eating meat, because they need it for survival.
If you are worried about how the meat you eat was treated, you could search which products are treated properly before being killed.
That's my opinion

Farm vets keep cows alive so that they are healthy enough to eat!

I'm sorry. All vets are vegan.
