The authors base key conclusions about “veterinary education gaps” on a single-faculty survey (ULPGC, n not reported) and a convenience sample of nine European faculties with no justification for selection criteria. How can results from one Spanish faculty and nine arbitrarily chosen European schools support generalizable claims about veterinary curricula continent-wide, especially when Table 2 shows several faculties (Bologna, Uppsala, Liège, Budapest, Hannover) offer zero environmental subjects?
2. In Table 3, for “animal production + animal welfare + climate change” in Academic Search Complete, the table reports 659 total publications (2000–2022) with 99% from 2012–2022. The footnote admits “no publications before 2010.” If true, maximum publications from 2010–2012 is ~2 years, yet 99% of 659 would require ~652 publications in 2012–2022. This arithmetic is impossible unless nearly all 659 appeared after 2012, but the footnote contradicts the percentage. Please clarify the actual counts or correct the calculation.
