I understand that many people are choosing not to become vets and that there is a growing scarcity of vets for the demand. First of all the training of health professionals including vets have to taken out of the hands of big business and big pharma whose training is little more than creating expanding markets for their toxic products and practices. These are your target people, training vets in holistic practices and sending them to learn to fix broken bones or dealing with an acute life threatening crisis like an accident. I know you are probably thinking how will these people be licensed and how will you maintain your own. The key is to know why registration and licensing was created in the first place to keep tabs on the enslaved, not any different from the use of crown copyright items today with such as birth, death, marriage licenses, drivers’ licenses etc. The second is knowing the plan is to replace all professionals incl. docs and vets with AI alternatives which is why you openly see doctors willing to harm their patients by recommending covid therapies. Even the fast asleep are being shaken out of their wilful denial cocoons. Some doctors have moved away from the world of crown copyright ownership and into just setting up a practice and negotiating directly with people who want their services. I see the vet industry going the same route. The old money centered structures and systems must collapse to make way for the heart centered living planet that we are here to love into being.

How about small courses for people who volunteer to help animals who many times end up doing the laundry and cleanup. Many of them would love to do more and is a huge untapped resource for overworked vets and vet techs. Myself I have set the intent to find the ways and means to establish wholing/healing communities and people who volunteer their time to help animals without seeking monetary rewards will be the ones that will form the backbone of these communities. We spend entirely too much time, energy and resources of maintaining a separation between “professional” and non when really it is just a degree of knowledge of a skill. Have you ever asked why we emulate this expert worshipping behaviour, knowing that a paper title does nothing to enhance the inner qualities of the person that wears the paper.

I so appreciate your comments. I have spent many years supporting those who don’t get the spotlight, the angels on earth. We need to redefine the concept of “expert”.

I really identify with Dr Linda Bender childhood years.
Me too, I was appalled by zoos and human society, but I kept telling everyone that the animals were the owners of Mother Earth and I could not understand why people did not agree with me.
