We've seen from events around the world and events in our own country that there are individuals whose intent has nothing to do with the welfare of the animals. It is strictly that they want animal agriculture to be stopped. That is why I wanted to highlight the comment on whistle-blowers, where oftentimes it's not the people who are showing up to possibly do harm who are in a place to be whistle-blowers. It's the neighbours; it's the professionals who show up and know what they're looking for.
I just want to stress how so many farmers in Canada are at such a chronic stress load that it could be one little thing and.... For us on the outside, it looks like it was just fear of this or the tractor breaking down, and we don't understand what happened, but that was enough to put that individual over the edge.
We've had multiple deaths due to suicide over the last couple of months in our agriculture community, and oftentimes from the outside it looks like one little thing. Anything we can do to help give our farmers peace of mind and help them feel safe for their animals and safe on their farms and in their homes I think is important.
