They are just so pernicious, but at last they cannot manoeuvre out of this one. Though no doubt La Kisko will try. Afterall they commissioned it. There is lots to like about Professor Bateson's report not least his very measured language couching some quite contraversial conclusions. He's exceptionally strong on inbreeding. He concludes that in its current format the ABS cannot be trusted by the puppy buying public. He rightfully acknowledges that all of these recent reviews including his own stem directly out of Pedigree Dogs Exposed. He calls for, loud and clear, more systematic recording and collection of health data by the Vets, as let's face it we all know the KC and its breed clubs cannot be trusted to collect that truthfully. He tops it off by calling for an advisory body to oversee the sector thus sidelining, at last, the stranglehold of the KC. It is a job very well done by the Prof right down to his choice of photo for the front cover. Well done that man. You are right to highlight their hypocracy.
