On that point, while we are having this debate about vets, responsible persons, merchants and co-ops, etc., the veterinary medicine manufacturers also have a major role to play here. If there are no new products, notwithstanding who is prescribing or dispensing, if a parasite has a resistance to it, we need stronger, new or different products. The products on the market are the solution to this problem at the end of the day.
