I never really thought about that and honestly it makes me feel a bit sick to consider that collateral of work (and i am a meat eater).

I don't drive over animals that are on the highway. I understand a farmer simply wont notice a rodent but cant more be done to design work to avoid surpluses casualties.

I am a naive laymen but using sound frequencies to scare off and digging escape trenches for critters comes to mind. So does AI and indoor cultivation potential.

I mean it's a minority of the suffering compared to like broiler hens slowly suffocating in sawdust filled with shit after their skeleton gives out under the rapid growth of their breasts.

Or even just the incredible use of pesticides and baits.

There's a lot to improve in agriculture, we need to do what we can where we can and the number 1 priority is getting everyone on a plant based diet. That said, I support my local CSA as a way to get a lot of the bits and pieces without pesticides and intensive agriculture.
