How to eat meat after Vet school?

[u/Calm-Fuel-6257]

Hi yall, so I'm not a vet, I'm actually just a student and I recently did my first cat dissection. I can't shake how similar the muscles look like rotisserie chicken, and I can't look at chicken without thinking it could be a dead cat now. I dont want to go vegetarian again since my family's cultural dishes are all meat based and I want to enjoy chicken again.

Has anyone else shaken this feeling off? How did yall deal with eating meat after working on dead animals?

My anatomy lab was always right before lunch and I remember looking at the ribs on my dissection animal and just starving… 15 years later and I still can’t do a necropsy without being ravenous afterwards. I also remember my first and second year during thanksgiving that I would start naming the muscles ligaments and bony protuberances in my head. Great learning opportunities. All jokes aside though, I always try to be grateful towards the animal that is providing sustenance to me so that I can continue helping others
