Vets Worry Over Fleas

"Vets Face Rising Worry Over Fleas" is the headline over a Times article on the front of the Science section. This struck me as a less-than-good headline for several reasons. First, I thought it was about military veterans. Then, once I realized that the headline was about veterinarians, it once again seemed inapt, because the ones worried about fleas are the pets and the pet-owners, not the veterinarians. Maybe the veterinarians are the ones "facing" the rising worry of the pet-owners, but the veterinarians interviewed in the Times article all seemed pretty calm.
