β†ͺ️ There’s a simple way to avoid this ‘trauma’: stop participating in a system that exploits and kills millions of sentient animals, is detrimental to nature and the environment, and one of the leading causes of climate change.
I’m not denying that farmers can indeed experience mental health issues, trapped in this system. But these resources should better be directed towards supporting the transition to veganic farming.

πŸ–πŸ„πŸπŸ” The main victims in this are the animals, who are totally overlooked here. They experience shock, trauma, and ultimately death.
PS: culling is speciesist and euphemist language use. It’s killing.
