Let’s ban ALL meat products, as well as any other product made from animals. Far better for the environment, for human health, and most importantly it would be far better for the innocent animals.

The concern is less about the safety of the public in general and more about those in the animal ag industry putting pressure on politicians. It’s humans that are destroying ecosystems, while wolves help keep them in balance. Once again politicians are bowing to the animal ag industry.

Who are you to decide who may live or die? Who is deserving of moral consideration & to whom it is cruelly and prejudicially denied? Who other than yourselves in flagrant self-serving arrogance bestowed upon you the right to desecrate, to violently abuse & to kill us?

We are #OneBillionScreams

A female pig individual looks out through the bars of the farrowing crate where she is tightly and cruelly incarcerated, unable to even turn around. Just outside the cage are her babies, who are denied her love and protection, but able to access her milk.

stop dumping pets & purchasing pets that you don’t see yourself with the next several years.

stop breeding for profit. adopt, you can adopt any breed you want right now bc every shelter is swamped w/ every type of pet, ones that usually don’t end up at shelters.

spay and neuter!

enough is enough.

I’m always struck by the irony and appalled at the ignorance of descendants of Europeans in the US complaining about immigration when their ancestors stole the land. My answer to them is that you can’t complain unless you’re a direct descendant of indigenous peoples, but you can go back to Europe.

Once we accepted the crime of eating other sentient beings, our moral decline was assured.

It was a short road from torturing and killing them to torturing and killing each other.

Knowing what we know and refusing to turn a blind eye but instead having the courage to bear witness, it’s often difficult to hold onto hope. Sometimes I turn to the words of one of my heros, Dr. Jane Goodall. As long as we’re still trying, there’s still reason to hope.

A quote from Jane Goodall that reads
“Hope is often misunderstood. People tend to think that it is simply passive wishful thinking: I hope something will happen, but I’m not going to do anything about it. This is indeed the opposite of real hope, which requires action and engagement.”
The background is a green field with trees in the distance.

A photo of Jane Goodall with a quote that reads:
“There is still a lot left worth fighting for.”

Wedderburn-Bisshop’s research makes it clear: if we count emissions honestly, the biggest culprit isn’t oil or gas - it’s the global exploitation of animals for food. Fossil fuels must go. But the future isn’t just about clean energy.

Fossil Fuels Are Bad, Animal Agriculture Is Worse

”Hunters” pretend to be so brave. If she’s so brave, let her try to kill one with only what nature gave her…no guns, just her bare hands. I’m sure a croc would appreciate an easy meal.

3,000 pigs per farm in Canada on average. That’s not animal welfare. They could care less about helping these poor animals or reduce their suffering.

What they do to these animals is animal abuse and without pain relief. It’s just horrifying.

Mandy Ⓥ🐾✊🇨🇦🇬🇱🇺🇦🇵🇸 @veganm.bsky.social · 11h

They also fail to mention that on average, there are 3,000 pigs per farm or the fact that at 6 MONTHS OLD they’ll be put in gas chambers before having their necks slit.
What we saw today was misleading and deceptive.

The IUCN calls the extinction crisis a mix of “hope and concern.” But hope thrives in the absence of honesty. Humanity would rather lie to itself about endless growth than face the limits of a finite planet.

There are no words. The guy actually said “we’re treating these pigs right.” If that were true he’d have nothing to hide. Clearly his definition of “right” is diametrically opposed to not only my definition, but the dictionary definition: “being in accordance with what is just, good, or proper.”
