TV vet Marc Abraham explains the science behind human-animal connections | SPANA

TV vet and campaigner, Marc Abraham, explains why interacting with pets and other animals is scientifically proven to improve our health. To mark World Animal Day 2019, SPANA is raising awareness about the positive effects animals can have on our mental health and wellbeing. 83 per cent of pet owners believe their animals help reduce stress. But, few people are aware that working animals in developing countries are also vital in supporting the physical and mental health of people in the world’s poorest communities – helping provide impoverished families with a basic income for food, transport to hospital, security, and other necessities for survival, such as water and firewood. Just like pet owners, the owners of working animals would be lost without their animals. And, in turn, SPANA is ensuring that the health and welfare of working animals is protected. This World Animal Day, SPANA is asking everyone to recognise the value and importance of every single animal – including working animals throughout the world.
