I didn't like California all that much.
Some farm animals don't handle anesthetic well. On top of that, it can be really expensive, and if you run a small farm then it's really hard to do. Plus, sometimes the anesthetic injection is more painful than the treatment for the injury.

That's completely fine, sometimes places don't hold the same good people and good memories as others do.
I did not know that. Consider me informed! What with the topic of treating animals, I really have no grounds to talk. The only animal I see on a daily basis is my fish :F
