Crufts dog Jagger - do ordinary dogs and cats matter when treated by vets?
The ‘international outcry’ over the reported poisoning of the Crufts dog Jagger
should serve as a most urgent reminder of the need to watch what the vets businesses es actually do about vulnerable helpless animals and their emotionally trapped owners and carers who take them to the vets

When was the last time there was an outcry about the run of the mill vets businesses killing a sick pet by pressuring the owner to agree to the killing?
If Britain is a really animal loving Society then there must be evidence that animals get the love and care they deserve when ill and when at the mercy of the vets businesses.
How many Britons have tales to tell of their vets ending the life of the beloved cat or dog on the now increasingly common ground that to let the sick animal live any longer would prolong its suffering?
For one Crufts Jagger, there are hundreds of thousands of unnamed cats , dogs and other pet animals that have been killed by vets businesses with blatant disregard for the animals’ welfare and open contempt to the compassionate concerns of the animals owners!
As with the many accounts of the so-called animal welfare charities being involved in killing animals under excuses that justify murdering a person's’ beloved family member, there is no accountability by the vets’ businesses or by those others who run businesses by including vets on their trading stalls as it were.
The outcry over Jagger’s suspected poisoning is more than justified as this has served as a trigger to let out feelings of deep concern about mischief being done to animals who cannot speak and point out the culprits.
The vulnerability of pet animals and their owners is at its most acute at the vets’ where the pet and the owners can get exposed to abuse of the power that the contact allows the vets’ businesses to exert.
For a “Nation of cat and dog lovers” or for a “Nation of Dog and cat lovers”,
there is no regulation of the conduct when it matters the most - when the animal is sick and the owner cannot argue or bargain their way out.
Both owner and animal are trapped.
Violated.
Wounded.
Drained and distressed!
Both at their most vulnerable moment.

Who holds PDSAs to account?

People who innocently take their beloved pets to PDSA- which claims to provide service to owners in low income - do so in transparent and extreme good faith.
They hope for the best.
So many times every day across the UK, helpless cats and dogs are killed at pdsa.
Often their owners are shocked, distressed and left with no option to find out what could justify the slaughter.
Time pdsas were held to account.
There is a multiplicity of problems associated with people who go anywhere near a pdsa due to the income factor.
That low income is liable to be abused.
Far worse - the excuse given is often at the expense of the helpless animal who cannot tell how they are being treated when helping in secret away from their owners.
There are quite literally thousands of such cases every day in the UK.
A truly caring society must stop assuming that vets know best.
They don't.
The care of sick animals is firstly a matter of being aware of their state and doing the best that the absolute majority of owners do to being with.
Vets and their businesses are in business.
Time to wake up to the helpless animals' cries as they are harshly held in capticity by business udner labels of vets services
