pathogens - develops over time, as do our emotional and mental boundaries. They say that what doesn’t kill us will strengthen us. A statement in the Vedic scriptures goes: “May all be happy. May all be without disease. May all creatures have wellbeing. None should be in misery of any sort.” Wouldn’t that be a perfect world? Could this ever be possible? Sir William Blackstone, a great eighteenth century jurist, provides a clue as to how this can be achieved. He said that the basis of natural law is: “ … that man should pursue his own true and substantial happiness”. Ultimately, it seems to me, it matters not whether individuals or industries are parasites. What someone else does isn’t the point. It’s what we do that matters. It is our duty to pursue our own wellbeing, and the wellbeing of those directly in our care. No-one else is going to do this for us. To be happy, which includes being healthy, we need to acquire wisdom, which is defined as the comprehension of what is true or right coupled with optimum judgment as to action. Aristotle defined wisdom as the understanding of causes, i.e., knowing why things are a certain way, which is deeper than merely knowing that things are a certain way. The wise know that not everything is as it seems in this 21st century world; we look below the glossy marketing surface and ask questions – especially before we submit our loved ones to medical procedures that may, or may not, cause harm. In an attempt to keep our beloved dogs healthy, many of us have been forced to leave the comfort of received veterinary wisdom behind, and find what is true for ourselves. It occurs to me, in relation to parasites, that love is the greatest healer. Love is not just that warm, cosy feeling; love also breaks our hearts and forces us to look below the surface. To be truly loving of the dogs, to merit the love they bestow upon us, we absolutely must look into the nature of things. Kahlil Gibran wrote in ‘The Prophet’ that ‘the victim is never innocent of the crime’. ‘A Course in Miracles’ states that ‘my brother is innocent’. Both of these statements are true. We are all here to learn – whether we be pet owners, veterinarians, or pharmaceutical chiefs. We invariably learn about true love through suffering, whilst acquiring wisdom. Eventually, I am told, we even leave our sorrow behind. However, in the meantime, there are practical matters to attend to. The veterinary vaccine industry has been taking our money in return for unnecessary vaccines since the 1970’s. In addition to offering no benefit, these vaccines are also doing harm. We – we – have allowed this to happen because we let our boundaries collapse. We have failed to protect our loved ones; we have failed to get wisdom. As a result, there is a massive imbalance between the pharmaceutical industry and the people and animals it once sought to serve. The pharmaceutical parasites have become an infestation. The only recourse is to shore up our own defenses and stop this happening – because parasites do not stop their feeding frenzy just because you ask them to. Animal guardians need to wise up and understand the nature of things. A parasite is “One who habitually takes advantage of the generosity of others without making any useful return.” My databank was not wrong – the veterinary vaccine industry has become a parasite; there is a huge imbalance, and we need to acquire immunity to it. f Catherine O’Driscoll has formed the Pet Parents’ Action Group to bring together animal advocates and pet owners from around the world. Working together, in strength, the group is taking practical action to counteract the massive marketing might of the veterinary pharmaceutical and pet food industries.
