20+ year welfare&rights advocate against vivisection and animal cruelty. Shares relevant news, valuable information and resources. Exposes unethical and outdated science. (Not a charity, but boosts them)
Pinned
Because I couldn't find any (for some insane reason), I've created a moderation list for Bluesky accounts that support, or engage in vivisection. You can find this and more under my Lists tab.

BREAKING: #Marineland has applied to export all of its surviving whales & dolphins to SeaWorld & other US aquariums—while threatening to kill the animals if it doesn’t get its way. If the government allows the export, it must include strong “no breeding” conditions! Take action 🐳➡️ bit.ly/3M2gA3h

And yet most scientists have always done horribly wrong things in the name of "science". Make it make sense.
Science is our attempt to become less wrong over time. And in honor of Crash Course Scientific Thinking, we put it on a shirt! Get yours at complexly.info/ccsci

It's undeniable that Trump doesn't actually care about animals.
Don't get it twisted.
But he is still the first president to take a stand against vivisection. Personally I'll accept it as a big win in a pretty big area and hope he doesn't cause significant harm in other areas of animal wellbeing.

2. All animal farming should be as humane as humanly possible.

"Welfare" in a laboratory setting means "whatever we personally think is acceptable to achieve our own goal".
It's intended to mislead the public because it sounds pleasant. Only a fool can look images and videos of animals in labs and call it "humane". Words can deceive, our eyes see what is.

Welfare standards in animal research represent the minimum.
They aim to reduce suffering within animal use, not challenge whether animal use is necessary at all.
Our view is that welfare is the foundation. But replacement is the future.
