Veterinarian by vocation, Natalya Kupriyanova left office work behind and became a veterinarian. She told us why she loves her difficult job. Vet by vocation: «I always dreamed of working with animals. Therefore, I had no other choice but to become a veterinarian. Perhaps I needed time to finally come to this. Five years ago, I entered a second university degree - a veterinarian; now I’m almost graduating from the academy. My dream is to open my own veterinary clinic. And possibly to change the system of animal care and maintenance, which will be close to European standards. Veterinarians must have a comprehensive understanding of their patients: unlike conventional doctors, who have different specializations, a veterinarian must have a comprehensive understanding of their patients. This is what prompted me to become not only a specialist, but also a breeder in the nursery and have been breeding and working with rare Somali cats for 6 years. The modern lifestyle of a citizen requires changing traditional charters: I have been a vegetarian for 10 years now. The first reaction to this recognition is usually: “What are you eating?”. The transition to the plant side will require more efforts - but result will come soon. Traveling gives me great joy: without it I can’t imagine my life and I do it as often as possible. This is incredible luck to be able to open
the world with your own eyes».
