The carnivore promoters seem simply unable to comprehend that their preferred human diet is impossible to have without farming animals in this manner!

This Thursday in Baltimore! Can't wait. RSVP link follows in second post.
This is blowing up on the other site, and rightly so. This is an industry end run around the Supreme Court decision on Prop 12. The court has ruled this is not a dormant commerce clause issue and yet the industry now wants to use federal legislation to overturn state-level animal welfare laws.
A large, cylindrical, blue plastic barrel filled with the corpses of several murdered newborn piglets.
Deeply ingrained social norms have robbed us of our innate capacity for empathy, compassion & moral reasoning. We have been conditioned to regard as normal & acceptable what we could only consider as abominable, as indefensible without extensive prior indoctrination.
We are #OneBillionScreams
Countless murdered newborn piglets piled high in the back of a truck. Countless more are being dumped on top using a mechanical digger.
You desecrate life yet act affronted when held to account. You demand needless violence & audaciously insist that you may do so with impunity. Your incessant despoliation is catalysing omnicide yet dishonestly you cast those who oppose your behaviour as the problem.

An undercover reporter wearing white overalls and a mask stands in an aisle between rows of farrowing crates in a darkened farm building and shines a light on the corpse of a murdered newborn piglet.
In shame, in cowardice, so many of you who participate in the violent abuse of us fellow animals go out of your way to preserve your ignorance. You bury your heads in the sand to ensure your complicity in our indefensible oppression, remains unquestioned & intact.

Upon being held to account for complicity in needless violence, far from eliciting reflection, many mock the victims in attempts to convince themselves they’ve no obligation to care & mistake this cowardly, knee jerk callousness as a laudable attribute.

Dehumanisation is dangerous because of human supremacy.

You are able to compartmentalise & ignore the gratuitous violence inflicted upon me because you’ve never had to witness it. In self serving ineptitude you succumb to the lies & propaganda of idyllic pastoral scenes & the oxymoronic delusion of ‘humane’ slaughter.

Our vile, egregiously cruel, inhuman treatment of nonhuman animals doesn’t just have dire consequences for them. The more monstrous our treatment of nonhuman beings, the more such atrocities are normalised, the more merciless, violent and monstrous we become.

What can meat eating tell us about Western authoritarians? What can ideas about white manhood tell us about white supremacists' fetishization of meat & mammalian milk? What can ICE recruitment ads tell us about settler colonialism & its relationship to eating animals? This & more, March 26.

The true test of any of your claims to benevolence, to compassion or to moral decency is in your chosen treatment of us other sentient nonhuman animal individuals. Therein lies the real nature of your character. We know what you are.

A young pig individual in a slaughterhouse cowering in abject fear as a human worker stands above them wielding a weapon.
The levels of temerity & blatant hypocrisy of you who wax lyrical about ethics, about right & wrong whilst participating in perpetual, needless, gratuitous violence inflicted upon us vulnerable nonhuman animals for your nonessential ends are truly off the scale.

If you care about animals, both domestic and wild, go vegan. No more excuses, time is running out for all of us. #BiodiversityCollapse
Michael Pollan has done more to damage animal justice than any intellectual of our era--which is precisely why he remains the "go to" expert in the media on all things food and animal agriculture related. He plays to the willing mob.

The harm he caused with his book the omnivores dilemma would be hard to overstate. Instead highly recommend the book The Omnivore’s Deception by @jsanbonmatsu.bsky.social

Four murdered male calves lie piled on top of one another on a plastic hutch on a dairy farm.
Apathy is not a proportionate nor justifiable response to the gratuitous violence that is enacted on an unfathomable scale. Complicity is blatantly inexcusable. But let’s face it, you continue to unthinkingly participate because you know you can do so with impunity.

An uncomfortable truth for every nonVegan social justice warrior, esp those w some version of ‘anti-fascism’ & ‘animal-lover’ in their bios…

The nearly universal belief in humans’ entitlement to farm, slaughter, and dismember our Animal cousins is a conspiracy that alienates us from the living world.
And that is bringing extinction, climate change, poisons and plastics everywhere, and all kinds of environmental havoc

Genuine morality can be nothing but outraged by the idea that other sentient animals are mere commodities, just objects to be treated as a means to human ends. If you can twist morality to serve such selfish interests, then morality is obviously immaterial to you.

A young chick has had their neck crushed between two plastic crates crammed full of chicks.
The prevailing doctrine ignores the pain & misery of its victims but hides that odious truth & distorts the narrative to garner support from an easily manipulated, wilfully ignorant , self serving public, protect profit & reproduce & perpetuate its supremacist ideologies

Most people support raising animals to be killed and dismembered. They believe in some kind of God-given right to do this.
As a result, we are dominating and exploiting the living world to death.
Vegans know this. Vegans are telling you to do something about it.

“… animal exploitation is not a side issue in human history. It is foundational.
Herding, agriculture, surplus, property, hierarchy, patriarchy, warfare, and ultimately capitalism itself emerge from a worldview that first normalized domination over other sentient beings.”
This remains one of the most overlooked atrocities happening in the world today.

Black veganism isn’t purity politics.
It’s remembering that liberation was never meant to be compartmentalized.

Also, we should care about animals because it's the right thing to do.
