In om,
Liz being of bellicose mind posted: It should give a logically thinking grown-up some pause to wonder why 99.99% of all practicing veterinarians, EVERY board certified diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Nutrition, and every Board certified diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine refuses to endorse the BARF philosophy. I would say they are being responsible. Heck, people can´t even take care of themselves when it comes to eating and you expect them to do a good job with their pets? How many people would have the time and money to prepare a balanced raw diet? And how many of these would handle meat safely, both for them and for their pets? How many people are in fact hygienic? How many people wash their hands before they handle meat? How many lawsuits would they be against the veterinary community if they acquired toxo by handling meat for their pets? If I were a vet, I would definitively be hesitant to advocate raw without first giving a lecture about feeding raw. Afterall, a vet simply does not know what kind of a person (or pig) they´re dealing with. The fact that they don´t advocate raw does not necessarily mean raw is not the best for the animal. Hey.... there are two kinds of people: Those who wash there hands before having an elimination and those who wash their hands after. ;-) -- ~~Philip "Never let school interfere with your education - Mark Twain" |
