76. There is NO debate on vaccines in the scientific community..
as well as in mainstream America. Its known that they are not 100% safe for people who aren't healthy, otherwise
vaccines are an accepted and much appreciated medical tool, like penicillin (which also can potentially hurt those who are allergic). Knowing what pets should eat is more than just a "nutrition class" btw. You also need to have a deep understanding of animal anatomy and physiology as well as pathology and other microbiology classes. Which of course vets are extremely well versed in. Canids and felids in zoo environments are NOT the same as domestic animals. Does a poodle look like a wolf to you? Its not just external differences. She is stating scientific facts on pathology and microbiology.
Its possible for your dog to eat raw foods for its entire life and not get sick, but feeding your animal raw is regarded as russian roulette-all it takes is ONE piece of contaminated food.
Your post shows a strong anti-scientific bias. There is a difference between an opinion and scientific fact, which is what Kestrel posted here. Any microbiological text will tell you so.
