A central theme is the emergence of the profitable 'fur baby' which is being propagated through encouraged anthropomorphism, a limited evidence base, overdiagnosis, overtreatment, and practice corporatisation. Richly accompanied with thoughts on veterinary celebrity, the misrepresentation of veterinary 'success', research using client-owned animals, unregulated treatments and end-of-life decision-making, the book represents a small room full of large elephants. With experienced contributors from around the world, each chapter combines personal stories with evidence-based reflections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile many of the subjects presented will have undergone some degree of ethical analysis, the book itself does not intend to teach veterinary ethics; instead, its role is to identify key concerns with the profession's current trajectory and to present them with candour, from the perspective of concerned veterinary professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal for use within the veterinary curriculum to stimulate undergraduate thought and discussion, this book will also be a valuable reference for practitioners as the veterinary profession comes to terms with life in a post-truth era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CRC Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55471643492695,"sku":"9781032579863","price":32.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/4569\/5575\/files\/9781032579863.jpg?v=1792185516","url":"https:\/\/somiibooks.com\/products\/veterinary-controversies-and-ethical-dilemmas-tanya-stephens-9781032579863","provider":"Somiibooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
