I’ve been having an existential crisis of lately. I want to become a vegetarian, but I’m really struggling to stop eating meat because I’ve been raised to eat it all my life and everyone around me just kind of scoffs when I mention I want to cut meat out of my life. I was out for coffee with my wife yesterday and was thinking about all the meat I’ve shovelled into my mouth over my life and all the innocent animals lives taken from this industry I burst into tears and I still can’t shake this feeling. I have decided I want to do something to help animals somehow. I like the idea of helping anti-poachers over in Africa. I’ve recently got my dream job as an electrician in Australia and it will be very difficult to get months off at a time to help anti-poachers and I’m reluctant to leave the job right now because the money is insanely good and I’ve wanted this job all my life.
Basically my question is. Are there any ways for me to help out anti-poachers if I was to head to Africa for 2-3 weeks at a time maybe once a year if I got it approved by my boss. Are there ways I can utilise my skills as an electrician to help anti-poachers?
Please don’t judge me for still eating meat, I am determined to stop one day. Thank you
