Dr Sean Wensley is an award-winning vet and lifelong naturalist 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. Surveys suggest that nearly 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 over 60% of UK dogs being overweight or obese, we are effectively killing them with kindness. Through A Vet's Eyes seeks to redress this imbalance so that we see all animals as thinking, feeling beings not dissimilar to ourselves.

As he takes us through the years in which he trained to become a vet, and set against a backdrop of inspiring natural spectacles, Dr Wensley shares his first-hand experience of how animals are treated and used for our benefit. He interrogates the different levels of welfare afforded to them and reveals how we the general consumer can reduce our animal welfare footprint through the choices we make every day.

肖恩·温斯利（Sean Wensley）博士是一位屡获殊荣的兽医和终身自然主义者，他为世界各地的动物福利和保护项目做出了贡献。他的处女作是关于如何为动物选择更好的生活，从吃的鸡到养的宠物。

随着社会越来越城市化，我们越发不了解食物从何而来以及是如何生产的。调查显示，近1/4的英国成年人不知道培根来自猪。另一方面，对宠物的人性化其实是对它们福利的一种威胁：英国有超过60%的狗超重或肥胖，我们实际上是在用善意杀死它们。本书试图纠正这种不平衡，让我们把所有的动物都看作是有思想、有感情的生命，与我们自己并无不同。

温斯利博士在书中讲述了他成为兽医的岁月，并在鼓舞人心的自然景象背景下，分享了他如何对待和利用动物为我们谋福利的**手经验。他审视了给予动物的不同福利水平，并揭示了我们普通消费者如何通过每天所做的选择来减少动物福利足迹。
