Oh God. This is where I come across as some out of touch older individual who doesn’t really understand modern society. You work with livestock, you work with dead stock is basically is, you’re right, is a farmer’s expression. But you know, you work with animals, they will die on you. That’s, or, or you will have them killed for whatever reason. And you know, in a farming situation, you know, you might know the names of all your milk cows, but they’re gonna come a point where they’re not producing enough milk. And the, you know, abattoirs, Laurie will come along and you’ll load your cows on there that you know by name, and they’ll go off to get slaughtered in a zoo scenario. More often than not, you’ll come in and you’ll find animals dead. Or, or more importantly, in my view, you should be part of the decision making process that aims to end that animal’s life, to avoid suffering, to ensure continued good welfare.
