CANDIDATE MANIFESTO
‘The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.’ Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
‘The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.’ Edmund Burke
Veterinary incomes mainly derive from treating pets – pets addicted to junk pet-food.
Denied their birthright of appropriate nutrients, teeth cleaning and mental stimulation – raw meaty bones diet fundamentals – the junk food addicts’ suffering begins with the first glutinous slurp. Thereafter nasty ingredients, vile mouth rot and obesity predispose pets to a litany of end-stage diseases.
Unfortunately arrogant veterinary schools deny the obvious in their monster display of the Semmelweis reflex.
Veterinary associations, snouts deep in the junk pet-food trough, host conferences in partnership with multinational pet-food makers.
Veterinary journals provide advertising and support for the pet-food industry. Bogus ‘research’ papers never mentioning the main determinants of pet disease extol the alleged benefits of artificial pet food and specifically condemn natural diets.
Brainwashed veterinary students graduate to become blinkered practitioners over-servicing a population of junk food poisoned pets but seldom if ever confronting the key determinants of pet disease and suffering.
Alas the RCVS when ‘Setting Veterinary Standards’ fails to see, hear or speak about the junk pet-food fraud — hypocrisy writ large and sinister manifestation of the rotten callous venal scam.
In previous years I’ve called for a full parliamentary inquiry. Now I believe that the RCVS Council
should be dismissed and an administrator appointed pending the outcome of that inquiry. I recommend that there be legal proceedings against prominent companies, veterinary institutions and individuals in respect to breach of contract, animal cruelty, theft and deception.
Please honour Bonhoeffer, Semmelweis and Burke; please vote to show that you care.
