&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;A big thank you to the one in fourteen—336 veterinarians—who voted for:&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another way of looking at the number of veterinary surgeons who voted for you was 1.4% of the electorate, or 1 in 74 veterinary surgeons who have the right to vote.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A big thank you to the one in fourteen—336 veterinarians—who voted for: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[quote]A full parliamentary inquiry. Now I believe that the Council of the RCVS should be dismissed and an administrator appointed pending the outcome of that inquiry. As an aid to investigating and remedying the veterinary/junk pet-food industry alliance I recommend that there be legal actions against prominent companies, veterinary institutions and individuals.[/quote]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You are the conscience of the veterinary profession and you will most surely be honoured in years to come.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The elections are over until next year; however the work does not stop. Whenever you can and wherever you are please don’t be deterred; please help rescue the animals from the ravages of a junk pet-food diet. Help your colleagues to investigate the biological imperatives of a natural diet for modified wolves, desert cats and polecats. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Time spent attempting to influence a heartless, compromised vet establishment is probably a waste—although miracles can happen. Likely the media, politicians, law courts and courts of public opinion offer better prospects for communicating the good health, human economy and natural environment message. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;May you achieve much success. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once again many thanks. Best wishes,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tom Lonsdale&lt;/p&gt;
