“…Research has suggested that people whose work requires them to kill animals suffer from euthanasia-related traumatic stress (Rohlf and Bennett, 2005; AVMA, 1995) [12,1] . A research study conducted in Kerala, India sought to understand the key elements of job situations in relation to stress factors that impact job satisfaction (Soumya Sankar et al, 2013) [14] . In recent times, there has been a growing focus on psychosocial elements and occupational stress among veterinarians, which encompasses client engagement, career advancement, and peer support.…”

Although previous literature indicates that students in health professions face significant levels of stress, there has been comparatively less examination of stress among veterinary professionals. The aim of this research was to investigate the extent of stress experienced by veterinary professionals. The study involved 100 veterinarians from the vicinity of Haryana. The results confirm the notion that veterinary professionals encounter considerable levels of stress. Additionally, the findings revealed that a majority of the veterinarians expressed apprehension regarding the possibility of contracting zoonotic diseases from animals.

“…Whether it is called posthumanism, postmodernism, or postspeciesism (3)(4)(5)(6), veterinarians today face a gap between the constraints of their professional narrative and the contemporary mindset of the society they serve. The prevailing integrative, inclusive, and compassionate attitudes towards society and nature, informed by the values of sustainability and degrowth, present a whole new set of challenges to veterinary practice that are either not addressed at all or are only referred to in terms of the collision effects they have on veterinarians, such as compassion fatigue, suicide, and substance abuse (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15).…”

Over the past three decades, the veterinary profession has faced a cultural shift towards postspeciesism that requires a reassessment of the foundations of the existing distinctions between human and non-human animals proclaimed by the speciesism paradigm, which represents institutionalized discrimination against species and recognizes only the subjectivity of humans. Based on ethnographic observations in anthropological fieldwork and using speciesism/postspeciesism distinction, we aimed to explain the main causes of small animal practitioners’ work-related stress and apply humanistic knowledge to recommend ways to alleviate the negative effects of the work environment. The explanatory model of disease, illness, and sickness, the example of the concept of family, and the circumstances of the feminization of the veterinary profession are discussed to illustrate the divergence between speciesist naturalistic veterinary knowledge and the postspeciesist cultural framework and its consequences. By failing to accommodate the changing values towards animals and by failing to challenge the anthropocentric hierarchy of values, the speciesist rationale of the veterinary profession contributes to many of the problems faced by practicing veterinarians. The incorporation of a modern moral-philosophical mindset towards animals may not even be possible because veterinary science is subject to a paradigm that is irreversibly tied to institutional discrimination against species and defies reflection on veterinary science itself. However, the veterinary profession has a privileged position in establishing an alternative ontological thinking and an alternative conception of “animal life.” Anthropological knowledge was applied to anticipate further intervention of social and cultural sciences in the problems of small animal practitioners. Rather than further diversifying and increasing expectations towards veterinarians by expecting them to acquire additional skills, we propose another practitioner who can support, mediate, and enhance veterinary performance – the cultural anthropologist. With their deep knowledge of cultural differences and social dynamics, they can collaborate with veterinarians to act as a liaison between cultures, paradigms, and species.
