On East Coast FM this week, Brayvet's Pete Wedderburn discusses the latest stray dog statistics: far too many dogs are produced in Ireland and the result is that ten healthy dogs are killed every day in dog pounds across the country

Vet on the radio: the shameful fact that ten dogs are killed in Irish dog pounds every day

I am a veterinary surgeon with a passion for communicating my love of my work through writing, radio,  television and the internet. My mission is to use the media to act as an advocate on behalf of animals.
I am a partner in a busy 4 vet practice in Bray, Co Wicklow, Ireland, but I spend 50% of my working week on media work. 
I've been broadcasting a weekly "vet spot" on my local radio station, East Coast FM, for the past fifteen years, and I'm delighted, through Soundcloud, to now make this weekly animal-related discussion available globally as a podcast.
