What would your pet say About you! What if your pets can talk... What if they can explain all the atrocities you've committed against them... What if there's an Animal welfare system that punishes pet parents for irresponsible parenting... What if you'll be judged in the afterlife by how you treat your pet... What if we build an Animal welfare system that truly caters for the needs of our furry companions. #Diary of an animal welfare enthusiast. #Animalwelfare #Petcare #veterinarymedicine #linkedinforcreators 📸 A furry friend after grooming.

"Witnessing suffering on a daily basis can lead to profound emotional exhaustion" ❤️ Compassion fatigue "refers to the physical, emotional, and psychological impact of helping others, often leading to a state of emotional depletion" ❤️ Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS) "refers to the emotional anguish resulting from witnessing or hearing about – often repeatedly – the trauma of an animal" ❤️ "Trauma resulting from being exposed to animal abuse, neglect, abandonment, and suffering can also lead to Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)" "Understanding and addressing compassion fatigue, STS and PTSD is vital to sustaining a career (or volunteer role) in animal welfare. These emotional and psychological challenges are not signs of weakness but rather natural responses to the difficult work you do every day" - Jen Blough, counsellor & animal advocate #animals #animalwelfare #animalcruelty #animaladvocacy #sustainableadvocacy #OneWelfare #OneHealth #mentalhealth #MentalHealthMatters #PTSD #STS #compassionfatigue #trauma
