🐭 There’s a long history of euphemisms in animal research. Animals aren’t “dogs” or “mice”, they’re “specimens” or “models”. Killing becomes “sacrifice”.

💔 Language makes the work more palatable but not more ethical.

The long history of euphemisms around the use of animals in lab research

Animals used in research aren’t just hidden from sight. They’re objectified, or “de-animalized,” as Melanie D.G. Kaplan writes in this excerpt from her book “Lab Dog.”

Why not live vegan, and avoid all contaminants in animal products?

We need zero substances coming from animals.

Zero.

Eliminating animal suffering inflicted by humans is an honorable goal, one that requires awareness, courage, and collective action. It means rethinking industries, traditions, and habits that have normalized cruelty. Vegan for the animals. 🌱☮️

If you wouldn’t eat eggs from eagles, frogs, platypuses, or women, why eat eggs at all?

Why Go Vegan @whygovegan.bsky.social · 17d

The underlying principles of veganism - animals are not ours to use, for food, testing, clothing entertainment or any other purpose. Animals have fundamental rights that we should be upholding, & veganism is a living embodiment of these values

No one needs #milk after being weaned from their mother’s breast.

Dairy entails horrific cruelty towards cows and their babies.

Why not go vegan today? Plant milk (and dairy) options are plenty and most are healthier than animal milk (or dairy).
