“When you suggest vegans are being too vocal, please realize your are arguing for people to stay silent when they see an individual being victimized. Do you really want a world where people ignore the victimization of animals for the comfort of others? I don't. #vegan #februdairy”

They talk about reviewing “animal welfare” while ignoring the fact that welfare in this context means killing them as efficiently as possible.

The story isn’t about a bull that got loose. It’s about a bull who fought back and a system that made sure he didn’t get away with it.

A bull tried to save his own life and was gunned down for it. He broke free from a haulier’s truck, bolted through the conveniently open gates of the Isle of Man’s abattoir, and ran for half an hour through a town, past houses and even a school.

This week, the Advertising Standards Authority finally said it: Red Tractor’s advert exaggerated environmental standards and misled the public. The ad is now banned unless changed.

Across the UK, a shocking trend continues.

Innocent animals are being injured or killed by catapults and other weapons, often at the hands of children or teenagers.

We are calling on the policing minister to act now.

For years, animals have been used as disposable stand-ins for humans, despite the glaring biological differences. Rats aren’t tiny humans. Monkeys aren’t morally neutral research tools. This move finally acknowledges that.

Every “like,” every share, every influencer post with a tiger cub is an advertisement for more abuse. Just as trophy hunters pose with dead lions to flaunt domination, tourists now pose with living animals to sell their status.

From Likes to Exploitation: Social Media’s Role in Animal Tourism

Scroll through Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube and you’ll find it everywhere: tourists riding elephants, posing with tiger cubs, cradling sloths, or grinning next to orangutans forced into human-like roles.
