We do not measure it. I ask for the witnesses' thoughts on the pet food. I also have another question. It is to do with dogs stolen to order. We need to emphasise that this is an activity related to the type of crime we see covered under the heading of gangland or organised crime. It is a serious element of that. It is not a small thing. It is part of a wider criminal enterprise. You often hear about awareness campaigns. People say that if you are using recreational drugs and think you are not harming anybody, actually you are contributing to a major organised crime industry. I think it is the same. I defer to the witnesses' expertise, if they will address those.
