Contemplating the strange human species, & my life as a beef cow.
Biodiversity, ecosystems, extinctions, climate, pollution, plastics, animal rights, sentience, anti-speciesism
Science, systemic change, individual action.
Of course I'm vegan, I'm a cow.

I follow many people on here who aren't vegan, because they align with my other values & hopes for human society. I absolutely disagree with some of their lifestyle choices (for instance, I'd rather they didn't want to eat me) but that doesn't stop me from appreciating & learning from their wisdom❤️

This double standard is deadly and needs to end.

Humans, you don't need to eat eggs, or use eggs in your cooking and baking. You can be healthy and enjoy tasty meals and bakes that don't use any animal products at all.
