His first book Through a Vet’s Eyes: How We Can All Choose a Better Life for Animals was published on 28th April 2022.\nIn 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.\nWe 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. \nSean 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.\nSupport the show","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/gK6hLkDHNYBrES7FRKo2Hwvzi0nVJKCyHahGfKuSx0o/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQ2ODUzLzE2OTk4/ODEwODItYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
