Parody described her experience: "The drug Pentoject had already been drawn up. Upon entering the room I was greeted by a sweet young cat, which appeared healthy apart from his skin condition. I had already done back-to-back euthanasias that morning and upon seeing a happy young cat, I just could not face another euthanasia." This highlights her internal struggle and the emotional toll of repeated euthanasias, especially during the pandemic.
The tribunal noted that while Parody's decisions were poor, they were made under stressful circumstances. It stated, "Although it recognised that at the time the vet was working under extraordinarily stressful circumstances because of the pandemic, her actions represented a significant breach of professional conduct that could not be overlooked." This emphasizes the weight of her responsibility and ethical obligations as a veterinarian.
