I personally feel that it is a conscious criminal act. I have a very difficult time thinking that someone that their mother loved in the cradle is going to go on and do this.
Ever heard of Munchausen by Proxy? It's a disturbing disorder where someone causes illness to another to gain attention. But did you know this can happen to pets too? In this eye-opening episode of 'Mental Health News Radio', Dr. Marc Feldman, a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, dives into the shocking reality of animals being medically abused for their owners' attention.
Joining him is retired dog breeder, Styles Bennet, who shares firsthand experiences that will leave you questioning what you thought you knew about pet care. Dr. Feldman, an international expert on factitious disorders, explains how this type of abuse mirrors the human version of Munchausen by Proxy. He reveals that pets are often the silent victims in these scenarios, suffering unnecessary medical procedures and treatments.
With over 100 peer-reviewed articles and five books to his name, including 'Dying to be Ill', Dr. Feldman brings a wealth of knowledge to this harrowing topic. The conversation covers the deceptive nature of this abuse, how it goes unnoticed in many families, and the psychological impact on both the pets and their owners. Styles Bennet adds a layer of real-world insight, discussing the warning signs and the steps that can be taken to protect our furry friends.
This episode is a must-listen for pet owners, animal lovers, and anyone interested in understanding the darker side of human behavior. It's not just about raising awareness but also about offering solutions and hope for those affected. Tune in to discover how you can be more vigilant and compassionate towards animals who can't speak for themselves.
