Are some vegan posts upsetting?
Yes
Does that mean they should be reported for exposing standard practices of the slaughter industry?
NO
If you don’t have the fortitude to face uncomfortable truths, fine, MUTE & MOVE ON. Don’t add to the suffering of animals by silencing those who speak for them

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.
If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

Agree. There's nothing new in what is happening to us, except that it is happening to us. That said, I believe that it is within an awakened American people to join with other peoples to rise in our greater promise as humankind. So be it.

I don't have time to watch but, like so "movements," infighting exists. I wish that there were one strong statement that we all could sign onto as a testament to the intention of our hearts, even when we fail to uphold in 100% in our words and actions, and, from there, go forward as a common front.
I ❤️ this. Thank you #JoeyCarbstrong for recognizing the importance of not canceling someone who gave so much for animals over a misspeak or difference of opinion. We need more of this, just as we need more people like #GaryYourofsky who speak up unapologetically FTA ❤️🔥
