The more money they bring in the more they make. Sad world but most professions and businesses work to make large profits no matter the costs to others.

Just like the crappy cheap pet food companies that sell really bad food for our pets, people trust them thinking that they would not make the food if it was bad. But it does not make the crappy food "good or healthy" in the end.
That's the thing. I don't think people necessarily end up making / marketing pet food for the love of animals. Also, with mass produced food, there are so many people involved, it's unlikely that you are lovingly cooking up the food yourself and then hand-delivering it to pets. It's much easier to be detached when you are one cog in a large corporation.

Veternarians, on the other hand - you don't "end up" a vet. You have to really want it. The people I know who became vets wanted nothing else form the time they were small children. And I think it's very different to inject an animal with a vaccine directly and think "that probably took a year off their life, oh well, at least I made another hundy."
