I just can't figure out what questions they asked that would lead to such a conclusion.

I think it's a job I could do, if it weren't for the fact that dealing with severely-injured animals and euthanasia would probably drive me off the deep end.

One of my friends is a vet tech and he gets bitten a lot. He also works graveyard at a 24 hour emergency vet clinic, so every animal he sees is aggravated in some way.
