Vet: Oh, you know, some people buy a large dog and then try to keep it in a small flat; they don’t take it out enough to give it proper exercise. Other people have a cat and try to keep it in the house all day, but a cat needs to get out and be free to come and go as it pleases. A lot of people don’t feed their animals properly. It’s very common to give pets too much food which is very bad for them, especially if they’re not getting enough exercise. Or not to feed them regularly, which is equally bad. An animal is a responsibility which is something many people don’t seem to realise.

　　Interviewer: You mean people keep pets for the wrong reasons?

　　Vet: Yes, some people want a pet because they’re lonely, or simply for decoration, or just to show how rich they are.

　　Interviewer: And just how do you deal with these people?

　　Vet: Well, I try to tell them what the animal needs; what is the right sort of food, the proper exercise. I try to teach them that animals are not toys and if they’re to be healthy, they have to be happy.

　　Interviewer: Yes, I suppose you’re right. In your thirty years as a vet you must have come across some interesting cases?

　　Vet: Oh yes, there are lots of interesting cases. I was once called to a lioness who was giving birth and having difficulty. Now that was really interesting.
