This week Veterinary Ramblings is joined by Dr Sean Wensley, author of Through A Vet's Eyes: How we can all choose a better life for animals!

Sean Wensley is a Senior Vet at the UK veterinary charity, the People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA). He chairs the Animal Welfare Working Group of the Federation of Veterinarians of Europe and was President of the British Veterinary Association from 2015 – 2016. He has contributed to animal welfare and conservation projects around the world and is a Director of Vet Sustain.

In 2017 Sean received the inaugural World Veterinary Association (WVA) Global Animal Welfare Award for Europe. His first book Through a Vet’s Eyes: How We Can All Choose a Better Life for Animals was published on 28th April 2022.

In this episode, Sean reflects on his time as BVA president and the experiences he had from a young age that inspired him to ask difficult questions about ethics and animal welfare.

We discuss Sean's writing style and inspiration for writing his book. We also explore different options for higher animal welfare standards whilst balancing the need for food production.

Sean delivers a fantastic 60-second CPD about a pre-purchase consultation and the best way to approach people who want to get a potentially problematic pet. We also ask a reflection question for our audience to consider, enhancing their CPD outside of the show.
