Meet The Animal People with Chris Whatling
Episode 14: Dr Marc Abraham OBE
In this episode, Chris Whatling interviews someone he truly admires – Dr Marc Abraham OBE. Marc is not only a highly respected veterinarian but also a passionate animal welfare campaigner, author, and media personality. From his early days dreaming of helping animals to leading the campaign for Lucy’s Law, Marc’s journey is both inspiring and deeply impactful.
Chris and Marc explore why communication and empathy are at the heart of great veterinary practice, and how media and social platforms can become powerful tools for advocacy. Marc also opens up about his brand-new film, Dogspiracy, a hard-hitting documentary exposing the dark realities of puppy farming and the fight for better welfare standards.
Throughout the conversation, Chris reflects on his admiration for Markcs persistence, creativity, and unwavering commitment to improving the lives of pets. Together, they discuss the importance of community, campaigning, and collaboration – from the vibrant energy of Brighton to the broader responsibility we all share in protecting animals.
Listeners will come away inspired to take action, no matter how small, and to see how one person’s determination can spark real, lasting change.
