Episode 5: Sean McCormack
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another episode of Meet The Animal People!
I’m genuinely excited to introduce this guest – Sean McCormack. Sean is a veterinary surgeon, but he’s also made a huge impact across the wider pet industry. He’s an author, a TV presenter, a passionate animal welfare advocate, and a wildlife conservationist with a serious love for nature and photography.
One of his proudest achievements? He played a key role in helping to reintroduce beavers to West London – yes, beavers in London! You can learn more about that incredible work at theealingbeaverproject.com.
In this episode, we cover everything from his career journey and conservation projects to the shared experience of growing up gay and navigating that identity within both the veterinary world and the wider pet and animal health industry. It’s honest, inspiring, and full of important conversations that don’t get talked about enough.
So grab a cuppa, take a walk, or settle in – I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did recording it.
