Are vets barking up the wrong tree with deadly toxin
antidote?
‘People should not
panic.’ Comforting words, from David Walker, head of medicine at Anderson
Moores vets in Hursley. However, with another canine having its life brutally
taken, I am not convinced by this. Later contradicting himself David Walker
adds that, specialists are no closer to discovering the trigger of the disease.
So is he giving dog owners false hope? What are we to
believe, that our faithful four legged companions are in safe hands. However the
people we are putting our trust in are no closer to finding a way of
demolishing these deadly toxins. Why isn’t there more being done about this? This
is really starting to take the biscuit. Dog biscuit.
“We want people to be aware but it is still small number of
dogs” heartless way of looking at things don’t you think David walker? I’m sure
if it was his dog infected with the toxin this would be on the top of his
priorities. Headlines read “Another dog killed by mystery deadly toxin”, which
makes 14 of man’s “best friends” being slaughtered by the deadly toxin. And
what are people doing about it? Nothing but, sitting on their arses.
However, more positively, (finally something optimistic to
come from this story!) a campaign has been launched to protect dogs with
warning signs erected in car parks in affected areas. Little will that do
though, last I knew of dogs couldn’t actually read.
But really, how long will it take for drastic action to be
taken? Not petty signs. Since when do people read all the signs in the new
forest anyway? And soon what if the toxins spread, it would be global before we
knew it. So what, no dogs? Last I heard eliminating a race (Well, breed) was
never a good idea.
