Emma Milne: Vetting on the Wild Side from South Africa.
In her Vetpulse.tv LIVE presentation, Emma Milne steers students at the Royal Veterinary College, London, through the roller-coaster ride of emotions she experienced during a working visit to the townships of Soweto in South Africa. Emma qualified as a veterinary surgeon from Bristol University in 1996 and went on to work in a mixed, country practice in Somerset. She then moved to Cheltenham where she stayed for 7 years doing purely small animal work before moving to York where she now lives and works. She is, perhaps, best known for her appearances in the highly successful BBC 1 programme, Vets in Practice. Over the years she has become well known for her strong views on animal matters such as fox hunting and tail docking and she launched Vets Against Docking when the issue was being debated for the new Animal Welfare Act.

Richard Kock: So you want to be a wildlife vet - lets talk!
Taking a fresh look at the role of vets in wildlife conservation. Richard Kock has spent over 20 years in the wildlife field attached to the Zoological Society of London working on animal health programmes around the world. He is one of the worldâs leading authorities on the subject of wildlife. In this Vetpulse.tv LIVE lecture, Richard challenges students at the Royal Veterinary College, London, to consider wildlife conservation as part of a holistic approach to the ecological problems associated with human population growth and global warming. He argues that traditional zoos are not the appropriate way to tackle these issues and that the way forward lies in a radical change of mindset by âdeveloped nationsâ â and especially the vets who live in them â to better share precious resources and encourage an enlightened approach to the vital role played by wildlife in the well-being of a sustainable environment.
Pen Farthing served as a Royal Marine for over 20 years before a tour of duty to Afghanistan changed his life for ever. Patrolling in the remote Afghan market town of Now Zad, he broke up a dogfight organised by the local police. As he explains in this Vetpulse.tv LIVE presentation to students at the Royal Veterinary College, London, Pen wasnât to know it at the time that one of the dogs involved in the fight was to adopt him as his new owner and, much to the amusement of the Marines, make him the unofficial dog warden of Now Zad. With the Marines tour of duty coming to an end, Pen knew there was no way he could leave the dogs to fend for themselves and so a rescue plan was organised. Two years on and Pen and his wife have formed the âNowzad Dogsâ charity, with the long-term goal of promoting animal welfare to an Afghanistan that is slowly rebuilding itself; and Pen has written a book, One Dog at a Time, detailing the rescue of the Now Zad dogs.
