I wonder if those of us who have campaigned, advocated and worked directly with the massive suffering of animals, have a higher statistical change (or risk, depending on how you view it) to filter our experiences, memories or traumas through Aphantasia or/and SDAM.

Love thy Sheep - Value of Sheep and Ethical Alternatives
Love this <3 As a caregiver to 11 rescue sheep, I can attest to their extraordinary personalities and highly recommend grabbing any chance you get to become their friend. It's a unique privilege.
