Abstract
This participatory qualitative study explored animal care professionals’ (ACPs) experiences with compassion fatigue. 11 Metropolitan Toronto Zoo staff members took photographs of their workplace environment using a Photovoice methodology and engaged in one-on-one semi-structured interviews about their experiences with sick, injured, and dying animals. Interviews were analyzed using Nvivo12 software.
