Book Intro

(English) A Veterinarian’s Journey Around the World: In Pursuit of Animal Welfare

Yang, Hyo-Jin

Author Yang, Hyo-Jin earned her B.A. in veterinary medicine and M.A. by studying amphibian diseases caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. After working for five years as a curator at Seoul Zoo, the largest zoo in Korea, she embarked on a journey to meet animals in zoos, aquariums, national parks, and sanctuaries around the world. Currently, she resides in Australia with her husband and cat. 

 

A Vet Who Visited 178 Zoos/Sanctuaries/National Parks Across 19 Countries Over Five Years 

After five years of working at a zoo, a veterinarian escapes her zoo enclosure. The animals she met in the zoo all seemed unfortunate. So to find an answer to the question, Why do zoos exist?” she broke out of the zoo and visited 178 facilities—including zoos, national parks, and sanctuaries—across 19 countries to look into animals. And this journey is an ongoing mission. 

Studies suggest that, at zoos, visitors spend an average of eight seconds in front of a snake cage, one minute in front of the lions, and two minutes in front of the elephants. To give humans time to feast their eyes upon them, animals undergo a great deal of pain throughout their whole lives. Zoo animals are not the end of the story. An elephant rescued from an elephant riding business for tourists could not bear to be with humans anymore, and a goat rescued from a children’s zoo came to hate children. This book will help us move on from using animals for momentary pleasure to exploring the lives of animals properly.
