A vet’s eye-opening polemic about our relationship with animals; how we treat them, what it feels like from their perspective, how we get it wrong and what we can do to fix it. Dr Sean Wensley is an award-winning vet who has contributed to animal welfare and conservation projects all over the world. His debut book is about how we can choose a better life for animals, from the chickens we eat to the pets we keep. As our societies become more urbanised, we are further removed from the reality of where and how our food is produced. Reported surveys have suggested that 1 in 4 UK adults don’t know that bacon comes from pigs. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the humanisation of our pets is a risk to their welfare; with 40% of UK pets being overweight or obese, we are effectively killing them with kindness. ‘Through A Vet’s Eyes’ seeks to redress this imbalance.
