# SPEECH PRACTICE

Talk about veterinarians.

Veterinarians provide medical treatment for animals. They work in clinical and non-clinical fields. In the clinical field, there are large animal vets who deal with livestock animals such as cows, horses, pigs, and chickens. Small animal vets treat companion animals like dogs and cats. There are other vets who specialize in reptiles, insects, or aquatic animals.
There are vets in non-clinical fields as well. Some lend their efforts to quarantine measures to stop the spread of infectious diseases like foot-and-mouth disease. Veterinarians are also involved in butchering animals and the process of managing meat.

수의사들은 비임상 분야에도 종사하고 있다. 구제역과 같은 가축 전염병의 확산을 막는 방역 조치에 힘쓰는 수의사가 있다. 또한 도축이나 육류를 관리하는 과정에도 수의사가 관여하게 된다.
