Veterinarians often favor adopting. The interviewer wants to be sure that while you may prefer one over the other, you will treat all animals with the same quality of care. The interviewer also wants to know if you are aware that some breeding can cause defects with animals that can result in a continuous need for Veterinary care due to health issues.

Talk about your opinion on breeding vs. adopting of animals and discuss why you prefer one over the other. Be clear that regardless of how an owner got their pet, you will treat the animal with the same care that you do all other animals.

"I always feel that adopting is the best choice because there are so many animals out there looking for a good, loving home. I treat all animals the same and give them equal care. It is just my personal preference to adopt."

I think my personal preference is adopting, especially due to the high number of animals up for adoption in shelters all over the world. No matter their provenience, I treat all animals equally. Adoption is also a cheaper option than breeding or buying. The fulfilling feeling you get when the adoption is successful is unmatched, they all deserve a warm and loving home.
