Dr Tom Hungerford OBE (Founding Director Sydney University PGFVS):
Thanks for the book — BRAVO
Tell the people who won't review their
views that: 'The foolish and the dead never change their opinions.'
Maybe that is an overstatement - as the 'brain-dead' may also refuse to
revise.
Anyhow there are many who adopt the stance of: 'Don't confuse me with facts, my mind is made up.'
Dr Douglas Bryden AM (Director Sydney University PGFVS):
Every graduate and undergraduate veterinarian should read the book ... how important it is to listen carefully to others who may have a pearl of wisdom to share.
2014 Most Supportive Vet Award
Met with RCVS President and staff. Suggested collaboration but rebuffed.

Candidate manifesto
The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer. Edward Murrow
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 veterinary schools in league with prominent companies 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 advertise junk pet food. Bogus ‘research’ papers never mentioning the main determinants of pet disease — junk diet, rotten gums, carbohydrate driven obesity — extol the alleged benefits of artificial pet food and specifically condemn natural diets.
Brainwashed students 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 a complicit 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 vote to show that you care.
Thank you.
