Safety around animals is very important. I never disturb or excite animals and avoid standing behind them as they may kick. I stay calm, speak gently and sometimes offer feed to reduce aggression. While approaching, I make sure a farmer, teacher or veterinary expert is present. Animals are tied securely and I maintain a safe distance.

Farmers also checked animals’ health, recorded observations and sometimes prepared silage or dry fodder mixtures for the next day. These activities ensured animals’ well-being.
