Vaccinations, Are They Killing Our Animals? Options

[E.M]

Thanks for that F.K.

I still need to do some research, it used to be that if you weren't considering returning back to the UK then the vaccines weren't required but it seems that the rules have changed. Before you just needed a health certificate saying they had been wormed, flea free and microchipped or tattooed. It seems now that this has been replaced by the pet passport.

The idea for the passport is that once they have a valid passport they can then move freely between EU member states and also return back to the UK without the need for quarantine.

From what I have just looked at it seems that there are only 4 recommended brands of rabies vaccines and Purevax wasn't one of them, so this is not good news. I will now make some further research into these four brands to find out whether they are 'live' or not.

Things are not looking good, the more you read the more it makes you think what the hell am I going to do to my girls.

Will probably resort to animal smuggling!!

Thanks once again, F.K, for all your help and advice, it is invaluable.

Now going to look for a big suitcase!!!!!!

This is a GREAT TOPIC, and one that I have been giving a lot of thought to. I have NEVER felt "comfortable" with vaccinations for our furkids.

Our kids "are due" for their vaccinations coming up in May, but I really need to do a LOT of research before I allow them.

Out here it is the law that ALL animals be vaccinated for Rabies - even indoor furcats, like ours .....

Thanks for all of the links!

Peace & Love,
Denise

I came across this article that I wanted to share.

Information on Feline Vaccination Dangers and Concerns

There are several links at the end.

Wow, Denise! That's one heckuva great article! I'm so glad you found it. (I've bookmarked it now) In fact, I think you should list it as a separate thread here, for easy access to others.

The only thing I don't like, of course, is that this person is a breeder. However, the fact that she's doing things very wisely and therefore was able to write this article because of her many years of experience with the non-vaccinating, homeopathic method is a very good thing. If all breeders followed her protocols, many cats in the world would be in a much better state of health. On the other hand, vet. homeopaths don't feel the need to breed animals to 'prove' that this system of health works....they already know it to be so, not only because of the reasoned thinking, but from much experience, often in both allopathic and homeopathic fields. (hence, their rejection of the allopathic system they were first trained in!)

Her discussion on almost all of this echoes what Dr. Hamilton says in his book, as well as what he and I discussed through the years. She's done a remarkable job of encapsulating all I've read, heard and also experienced firsthand. It really brings home the truth of the entire picture with great clarity and ease of understanding in how it all interconnects...even down to the use of other suppressive drugs. I especially liked the section on nosodes - VERY discerning....and correct, actually. I did know that they aren't w/o their own set of risks - hence their unavailability (at least in Canada and the US) to the general public w/o a homeopath's prescription.

What she says is true - const*itutional remedies are MUCH preferred, overall (as are single remedies VS combo's). I know I even suggested part of this non-preferred method to Debbie, as a possible means to address her situation with the rabies shots, but always, my preference is really that people find a vet. homeopath to work with....as they're the experts in this. There's a good reason it takes years of further training, on top of basic medical training, to become a practised vet. homeopath! Unfortunately, I know from experience that the majority of people are too willing to stay unenlightened and unlearned, out of fear of unknown territory, and so never do the work of seeking a homeo. vet out, and staying on course by changing ALL of the components of a healthier environment for their babies. Open minds are a rarity in this world.

So I must thank you SO much for supporting this whole idea, and my efforts here, via your own research, growing excitement, open mind and participation in this thread, and your own thread on foods! And I would say that if someone knew virtually nothing about the twisted reasoning for vaccinating versus the reasoned approach of homeopathy , this one article would be one of the best, first ones for them to read!

Now, if only this bright woman would stop breeding as well and instead just pass on her empirical evidence to the world. (although, truth be told, I'd LOVE to get any future cats from HER...except that would just be supporting breeding....a real catch-22)
