Abstract
A giant in the field of Veterinary Science, the father of Meat Hygiene and a leader in Veterinary Science passed away in June 2021 after a long illness. Tubby Veary is no more, but his legacy lingers on... Without him Meat Science in South Africa would never have progressed to where it is. He improved abattoir grading and initiated a system of inspection. His actions made him a leader in the promotion of livestock welfare, specifically at abattoirs, which were previously absolutely hellish. His collection of photographs of meat inspection are a significant part of the history of the Onderstepoort Veterinary Faculty.
