Or How Some Slick Brits In Sandhurst Tricked A Small Town Veterinarian In Texas Out Of His Pet Care Articles

Dear Readers,

You are probably wondering how you got to this web page. Please take a few moments so I can tell why.

I am well on in years and no longer practice as intensively as I once did. But my life still revolves around animals and I continue to write articles on pet care and post them on the web. Owners and pets have been good to me – so furnishing this information free of charge on my website is my way of saying thank you. Since I sell nothing, I do not need to encourage you to purchase worthless items your pet does not need.

Several years ago, I received an email from a Mr. Chris Jones of Ashford Middlesex, asking if his pet club might use some of my articles. No mention was made by Mr. Jones that this was anything other than a social Club. In the United States, pet clubs are non-profit organizations of individuals with particular pet interests that share information and camaraderie. I thought Mr. Jones was organizing a similar club in the UK and so I agreed he could disseminate my articles free-of-charge for his Group of pet-lovers.

It was not until 2009 that I realized Mr. Jones, and his successor, a Mr. David Woolven, were not animal lovers but rather businessmen in Sandhurst who intended to use my articles to sell their merchandise. The first gentleman had been selling weight loss contraptions while the second was a car salesman.

I have, on several occasions, asked them to remove my articles from their PetClubUK website. They have refused They use versions I wrote several years ago that are no longer valid in their recommendations. They can and have altered my articles to suit their goals. I suppose they feel I am far far from you in England and that there is nothing practical I might do. When people are motivated by financial gain rather than basic honesty and fairness, that is often the case.

After one of my clients lost her beloved cat due to these shenanigans, I decided I must do everything in my power to end this unfortunate situation.

I may not be able to remedy this problem alone. But you can. Before you trust your purchases to PetClub UK,

CONSIDER IF YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR BUSINESS AND SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED IN DEVIOUS AND UNDERHANDED ACTIVITIES.

In Texas, people who practice deception in one area of their lives, generally do so in other areas as well. I assume folks in the UK are much the same as people here in Texas
