Pharmacies, Animal Shelters, hospitals, anywhere that deals with life and death issues should be held accountable. Clearly more caution needs to be taken by staff and records need to be kept of any errors made(even minor errors since the next error might not be so minor)
Oh that is tragic. Poor little boy. I can't even begin to imagine what his parents are feeling.
It shows that when dealing with life-and-death scenarios, whether with people or animals, there is a need for checks, double checks, and maybe even triple checks. We do things in far too much of a hurry nowadays. Humans do make errors. Humans are not perfect. What they do need is to be checked by others. It only takes a moment!
