KEITH Richardson makes a fair case as to why it was the best decision to become a vegan (“I’m a strict vegan and so are my pets”, Daily Echo, November 29).

However, he makes no reference to his views regarding medical support should he or his family become ill.

Will he be refusing drugs and other medicines containing animal ingredients that could save his life? As for his own pets. I hope that he has taken veterinary advice before subjecting them to such an unnatural diet.
