I had hoped that the RCVS might actually get back to some degree of reality, now they’ve left Stonewall. Unfortunately, towards the end of the RCVS survey of my profession, there was this unprofessional nonsense. I do not understand how a profession that deals on a daily basis with sexed animals and who have undergone a professional degree course have become so captured with something that’s actually worse than homeopathy.
You can probably see that I was outraged by my responses, but I am also furious that this nonsense means they are missing out on genuine information about the demographics of the profession.
Please make it stop. It’s genuinely distressing.
