RCVS Online / Latest News / RCVS Day - changes and celebrations: "Guest speaker at the event was RCVS Fellow and veterinary polymath Roger Short, who gave a talk entitled: “The way ahead for the veterinary profession in a warming world.”
In an entertaining and at times controversial speech, Roger outlined his view that, as members of the only medical profession capable of thinking laterally and considering man as just another species of animal, it was incumbent upon veterinary surgeons to tell some home truths about the impact of global population growth on biodiversity and global sustainability.
Direct action was required, he felt, propounding the view that all women should take the contraceptive pill for the benefit of their own health, as well as that of the future of the planet."
