Universities and the Pet Food Fraud

It’s alleged that all university veterinary schools, subject to regulatory capture by the junk pet food industry, fail basic tests of morality and decency. Instead, colluding with pet food companies, they are responsible for animal cruelty, brainwashing of students and defrauding the public.

It’s an integrated propaganda process:

1. Disparage and demonise the natural diet of domestic carnivores employing bogus science, spurious arguments and tortuous reasoning. The natural biological standard is thereby excluded and rendered invisible.  
2. Extol the claimed ‘superior’ quality of the omnipresent, ultra-processed junk using more spurious arguments and mangled logic. 
3. Relentlessly promote falsehoods thus guaranteeing a salesforce of ‘respected’ vets who intimidate and browbeat a vulnerable public into believing nonsense.
4. A vast population of junk food affected pets creates the artificial need for vets—and contrived justification for the vet schools’ industrial gravy train.
5. Simultaneously, the veterinary establishment controls the communication channels thus ensuring few if any counter voices are heard.

Remedies

A full commission of inquiry with judicial powers is urgently needed!

Meanwhile, given the moral bankruptcy and possible legal liability of the veterinary schools, it’s important that other university departments take an active role.

• Law schools can alert their students and thus prepare them for litigation against the widespread cruelty and fraud.
• Medical and dental schools should be aware that the veterinary profession is an unreliable research partner. On the plus side, there’s the eye-opening experiment where pets fed junk food and then switched to a natural diet of raw meaty bones become ‘like kittens/puppies again’. The ‘miracle’ transformation in their pets’ health often persuades owners of the need for clean teeth and unprocessed diet.  
• Accountancy, finance and media studies departments can forewarn students about the perils of financing, insuring and reporting of a corrupt veterinary profession.
• Departments of psychology, sociology, anthropology and philosophy can conduct research and alert students to the veterinary bogus ‘science’ and the 21^st Century creation of brainwashed cults.

It’s time to confront the massive pet food fraud in our midst. Universities must fulfil their function. They must provide leadership in combating the vet school fraud, thus opening the way to multi-billion-dollar benefits for animals, people and the global environment.  

Key Facts:

The ravages of a junk pet food diet on the health of pets has been well known in the veterinary profession at least since 1991. Despite accumulating further evidence the veterinary schools continue to promote commercial propaganda with devastating effects on animal health, human economy and the natural environment. 

About us:

Dr Tom Lonsdale first blew the whistle on the veterinary-junk pet food industrial complex in 1991. Since when he's been campaigning for  a global reckoning with potential for a renaissance in veterinary and medical science and improvement in animal health, human economy and natural environment. His 2025 Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons election manifesto provides much background information.
