Infos

Animal abuse affects everybody working in animal-related industries, and constitutes a significant part of veterinary caseloads and animal shelter work. Based on the author's experience as a shelter worker and veterinarian, this book provides advice and assistance to those working with animal abuse. Beginning with definitions and types of abuse that occur worldwide in domestic, industry, leisure and cultural settings, the book goes on to detail current topics of debate such as foie gras production, pedigree dog breeding, links between animal abuse and domestic violence, and the fascinating subject of veterinary forensics - the scientific investigation of instances of animal abuse. The book's practical focus is developed through interviews with people in a variety of affected roles, international case studies, and discussion of the difficulties that arise; how they can be dealt with and the mental health impacts they can have on those involved. With contributions from world-renowned experts including Phil Arkow and David Bailey, and an introduction by Clive Phillips, Animal Abuse: Helping Animals and People provides practical advice and insights into issues surrounding this emotional subject.

Rezensionen

The book is educational and inspirational and a must read for all animal lovers and people involved in the tragic cases of animal cruelty and neglect. - Australian Animal Newsletter

Veterinarians and veterinary nurses will appreciate the thoughtful advice on how to cope with the stress associated with abuse cases. - Veterinary Record

Written with deep sensitivity and emotional honesty, flawlessly researched and driven by the conviction that it is unacceptable to do nothing about animal suffering, this is the most comprehensive review of the area I have seen. - Dr Rosemary Elliott

This comprehensive and well-referenced publication by Catherine Tiplady and contributing authors including social workers, lawyers, investigators and animal behaviourists is designed to be a practical handbook for animal health workers on the front line of the fight against animal abuse. - C Kerwick, Veterinarian, Australian Veterinary Journal

Overall, this book has so much breadth in the area of animal abuse. The areas covered range from the very academic and philosophical right through to very applied areas including, among others, the diagnosis of animal abuse and interventions aimed at helping women who are victims of abuse to leave their situation without parting with their beloved companion animals. Given its breadth, it is relevant and recommended reading for many individuals including those who may or may not work with animals and who may or may not have companion animals as part of their family but who simply describe themselves as animal lovers or feel a sense of compassion or responsibility to treat sentient beings morally and with care. It is also relevant to those who work with human victims of abuse and those who work with animal victims of abuse. Above all, the book is educational as it provides a wealth of information regarding animal abuse across many different areas of society. - Eleonora Gullone, Animals 2013
