The growing threat of pet health cults (and how to spot them)

[@scottjones6624]

A mature and thought-provoking discussion. Thank you for bringing this up and encouraging to me to chew on the ideas. I appreciated the in-depth discussion of the psychological factors that we are all susceptible to. You are a great communicator of complex ideas without obvious bias. Very appreciated.

Thank you Scott! I do have my biases like everyone but also try and recognise them in myself when I can

Hello 👋 good buddy Dr Alex 👍 good seeing you i never did find Rosie Mae 😢its been difficult times

So sad David 😢

Why do I have the feeling that you are talking about specific people or situation without mention it? Do you realise that science is also a form of cult? If it is not proven by science, it doesn't exist. Is that not also the discourse of cultists? Thank you for your videos. They are very entertaining

[@OurPetsHealth]

Absolutely, science can be a cult in certain groups. Kibble feeding proponents can exhibit the same cult-like behaviours as other diet groups! While I do have certain situations in mind I am also aware there are people who believe the same things as me who can exhibit these behaviours. It may even be that some of my content could fit into some of these categories...

I dot think that if a vet looses their licence, it means they are not a vet anymore.... At all

BARF? Clicker training?

[@OurPetsHealth]

Yes, most specific feeding and training types will have groups that are more cultish than others
