All violence, all injustice, all oppression is interlinked. How we treat nonhuman animals sets the lower boundary for how we treat each other. The more cruelly we treat non-humans, the more terrible a weapon dehumanization is.

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?

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.

We will dismantle the structures of domination and control only when we reject the false separation between the individuals we've arbitrarily chosen to protect and those we exploit for profit and habit.

The dark side of “humanity” is no small thing… it’s just carefully hidden from public view. It’s what fuels my misanthropy.

‘Milk Myths Are Crumbling’

[Without cow’s milk, how will our bones survive? 🦴

The short answer: better.

#Calcium is important. No one’s denying that. But the idea that cow’s milk is the only or best source is laughable. Calcium exists in the soil. Cows get it from plants 🌱 So can you]

Plant-based dairy doesn’t rely on artificial insemination, stolen babies, or secretive slaughterhouses. It doesn’t require people to ignore the screams of animals who just want their babies back.

All violence is interlinked. Our cruel, malevolent treatment nonhuman animals is the precursor & predictor of dehumanisation. A world that normalises atrocities committed upon other sentient individuals is a world where people will defend & cheer on a genocide

There’s no virtue in violence, no decency in cruelty, no morality in murder, no honour in rationalising ignominious acts, no veneration in twisting reality to justify foul deeds & no humanity in egregious brutality. There is only base, callous iniquity

A still conscious, week old male calf on the kill table in an Australian slaughterhouse is being gripped around the back of his head by the gloved hand of a worker who is about to slash his infant throat. The table is spattered with blood and the floor below is a pool of blood.

Vegans can sometimes get a bit emotional & angry.

Just like non-vegans get emotional & angry if they see a crush video or their neighbour kicks a puppy.

Default humans laugh at the vegans but join the outrage about the puppy 🐶

Yet we have more in common than you might think.

And nearly all (~90%) of the nutritional value of that 70-80% is destroyed because of feed conversion ratios.

Animal agriculture destroys way more food than it creates. And the land use 🤯

A wonderful way to honour Jane Goodall’s life is to care about all sentient animals, like she did, rather than just some of them.

Oh they don’t want that sort of transparency.

They only want the sort of “transparency” that means coconut milk can’t be called milk and a veggie burger can’t be called a burger.

So many politicians have been bought by the big animal ag industry.

Culturally bought, if not with cash 💰

Ok, I have hashtagged Marineland several times over the last 2 days, yet not one shows up in a search. Same with other keyword searches I’ve tried.
How do SM sites get away with these suppression tactics?

That’s fine, as long as we don’t in any way mention the preceding intrinsic violence, mutilations, sexual violations to forcibly impregnate, familial separation, confinement, denial of subjective needs & final betrayal in the form of a brutal death at a fraction of an individual’s potential age.

BREAKING NEWS 🚨 @europarl.europa.eu insists that meat must now be called “flesh with faeces” and cows’ milk must now be called “mammalian gland secretions with pus.”

Finally, some clarity for consumers about what they’re feeding their children 🥰 😋

If we scrape the surface, we cannot fail to see how violent, how indefensible, how gratuitously despotic our ideology is. Those who then choose to continue to participate & defend it are choosing to be violent despots. There upon they rescind the right to claim to be decent or civilised.

A system built on the supremacist notion that living beings are property and their bodies a resource to exploit is irredeemably unjust and can't be reformed. Rooting it out is the only solution.

Sorry, but if people actually cared about animal welfare they’d stop eating, wearing and using them for entertainment or any other purpose.

Who do you think controls the narrative? We who are subjected to gratuitous violence & a brutal death at a fraction of our potential age? Or those who stand to gain from our cruel abuse?
Who do you listen to? Victims or abusers?

One of our team was arrested yesterday for allegedly breaching protest restrictions, even though they weren't protesting – because wearing a keffiyeh while walking down the street is "reasonable suspicion".

This is the result of Starmer's crackdown: we're back in time to Nov 2023 under the Tories

Claiming to be horrified by cruelty whilst simultaneously participating in the gratuitous cruelty inflicted upon hundreds of billions of sentient individuals for your nonessential ends is the height of hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy.
