Can something be done through legislation or otherwise? We are dancing around. The fourth party here is nearly the invisible man. To be quite frank, he is the most important person. I am talking about the new person in the game. Everyone is saying he does not exist, but he is there. It is a question of whether we want to admit it. Can we use legislation or something else to make sure the system that exists is protected? In many parts of this country, the service provided by vets is second to none. In most areas, one can get a vet quicker than one can get a doctor for someone who is sick.
