The Canadian Veterinary Journal (foreign)

The killing of domestic animal is not a good experience and can be recognized as a moral issue. A body
of research demonstrates that "psychosocial health" and the risk of suicide varies between groups. The
delivery of euthanasia and the negative effect it may have on the veterinarians and staff workers
humane killing has been a concern for many years. the rate of suicide in the veterinary profession is at
least three times the general population rate. Some studies suggest that young female veterinarians are
at the greatest risk of negative mental health outcomes such as suicidal idea, other mental health
difficulties, and job dissatisfaction.

The Psychological Toll of Slaughterhouse Work

The Canadian meat industry employs over 64,500 nationwide. Despite good benefits and steady work,
there’s been an “industry threatening scarcity of Canadian butchers, meat cutters and laborers who are
willing to accept job offers… in smaller, more distant locations according to the source. The reason why
isn’t hard to recognize. For most people, it’s horrific work that leaves them fleeing. Slaughterhouse
workers often experience a form of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) known as Perpetration-
Induced Traumatic Stress (PITS). PITS results from situations in which the sufferer was a causal
participant in a traumatic event. Symptoms include depression, dissociation, paranoia, anxiety, panic,
drug and alcohol abuse, and dreaming of violence.
