How do you mentally handle experiencing the horrors of farm animal abuse first hand? And how do you make yourself do what's required to "blend in", I'm assuming you've had to participate in the abuse yourself?

I have SO much respect and gratitude for the work you and all undercover animal rights investigators do. I could never do it myself, I would curl up into a ball and cry hysterically the first day. Thank you.

Given all the horrible things you must encounter on a somewhat regular basis, how do you maintain mental health and optimism? Is daily life with all the "happy ending" animals enough, or is depression a constant thing you have to resist? That's often my biggest challenge, dealing with the dark world in which so many animals are living.

P.S. Thank you (and everyone at Farm Sanctuary) for all your tireless work! You are one of my heroes. <3
