Having animals in our lives is a gift.

I hope one day we can all treat them with the dignity & respect they deserve.

Until then, avoid eating them & stop feeding the industry that exploits them.

Taking newborn calves from their mothers is standard in the dairy industry. They have no choice, we do: soy, oat, rice…. The dairy industry is also the meat industry.

Choose compassion / #vegan over cruelty:

And now that the buffalo are gone, the earth’s topsoil is disappearing quickly.

We will be left with dead dirt. Nothing thrives in dead dirt.

Relying on herbicides and pesticides instead of natural fertilizers will be our undoing unless we change course.

"An enormous herd, millions strong, feeding the deep roots of the prairie, making layers of soil like black gold, ruling a kingdom of bird and beast, insect and flower and water, and feeding a vast people—I see it in my mind’s eye."

Where the Buffalo Roamed

Ken Burns’s two-part documentary on the American buffalo helps us imagine our country as it could have been.

I never get tired of this video. Children aren’t naturally cruel to animals, they’re kind to them by default. We have to nurture that compassion to break the cycle of violence against the billions of land animals and trillions of sea animals needlessly killed each year. It’s so easy to #GoVegan

GLP-1 drugs are all the rage!

But humans make their own GLP-1 hormones & this hormone production is increased by a high fiber diet with healthy fats & lean proteins.
Legumes, whole grains, seeds, nuts, fruits & vegs have these in abundance!

Healthy diet & weight control are linked in so many ways.

All farming is atrocious, but fish farming is its own special evil. 💔

Salmon with shredded faces. Rotting alive in cages. This is what’s happening right now at Bakkafrost’s Portree farm on the Isle of Skye — and it must be shut down 🐟

📍 The evidence is clear.
⚠️ The suffering is extreme.

Eating without insisting there be animals on my plate is so liberating.

If I can do it, you can too!

The animal agriculture industry at its core is all about profits, and torture and killing of animals is just a means to that end. The more people #GoVegan the lesser the demand for animal products and the greater demand for plant based products. If we #LiveVegan they’ll follow the money.

Poor & marginalised groups are targeted with cheap fast food & processed meat. Diet-related disease is a justice issue.

This is a big WIN for cats in CA!
It’s true that cats like to scratch and sharpen their claws on furniture.
But a declawed cat that escapes outside is doomed. A cat cannot climb to safety without claws.

If humans don’t wake up and as quickly as possible run away from the antiquated idea that everything on the planet is here for humans to squander however they like, our children, grandchildren, and all future generations will suffer serious consequences.
