The common perspective regarding animal science is often poisoned by false notions. Further, while ‘poisoned’ may be a misnomer, the reality of this phenomenon is one in which prospective animal scientists have rose-tinted visions of grandeur paired with little acknowledgement of the training and tasks associated with these ventures. Additionally, due to this apparent consensus, it is easy to conceptualize an image ripped straight from a Fisher Price playset when assessing the field of animal science- ripe with its clean-cut, healthy plastic animals easily managed by children ages two and up.
