Tom Lonsdale feels trust could be greatly improved 

Tom Lonsdale, a veterinary surgeon from Australia , has long campaigned against processed pet food and instead supports the idea of diet based on raw meaty bones.

Speaking to MRCVS, Tom said: "After 19 years of standing for election I remain hopeful that the profession will open its eyes to the reality we've been living a lie for too long: carnivore food is best understood as food and medicine combined.   

"The junk food pet industry has usurped our integrity and authority with disastrous consequences for pets, pet owners and the wider community."

Tom believes there is much scope for improvement between the College and members of the profession. "Regulation of the profession is variously incompetent and corrupt," he said.

"The 'Science' so-called is variously incompetent and corrupt. Band aid solutions can never work. Time for major reform across all functions of veterinary education, regulation, science and practice."
