"I promise and I swear in front of the Council of the Veterinarians Order that my professional conduct will follow the rules of the ethics code, and that I will observe in any circumstance the principles of correctness and uprightness."
"I take the oath to always care about the dignity and honour of the veterinary profession."
And that's it. Blanche was a veterinarian.
Meanwhile, far away, without any ceremony, a young female established her territory. It remained close to her mother's and would overlap less and less as time passed.
Blanche had always devoted her free time to animals. In the Adopt R Us centre, in the annual Ruffie exposition of Centropolis, in the Pherret anti-kelptomania Education Centre. Whenever she could, she would volunteer for training and projects dealing with wild animals. She had participated in Velosotor-catching, took advantage of being contaminated by the virus during the Pandemic to work on the Telenine, and had written her thesis on the hormonal balance of Antlephores. It finally paid off, when SAI picked up her application to a census in the Artic Frost. The prospect of staying all day behind a computer to run simulations didn't seem very exciting, but she hoped to participate in laying traps, and do some field observations, would it be only one day. If not, it would still be a nice addition to her CV. She needed a good one if she wanted to go on with wildlife and research. Otherwise, she would have no choice but to get hired in a private practice in Centropolis and vaccinate Ruffies for the rest of her life.
The feline spotted her prey and ran after it. She was anxious, it was her first time hunting alone and it was a Glacier Antlephore. Their reactions are impossible to understand or predict, but at least they are slower than Sheetas. She finally caught her prey and started to eat.
