I’d argue that the real problem is the animal agriculture industry and the anthropocentric view of far, far too many humans.

Jeremy Clarkson has been forced to kill his first calf after a TB outbreak — despite bragging he’d already “shot all the badgers.”

Turns out, the real problem isn’t badgers. It’s a broken testing system. 🦡

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.

Last year, our team sat down with Dr. Jane and spoke about the impact she has had.

Was she proud? "I actually feel quite bewildered, surprised."

But she felt that was her task: "After 90 years of living on this planet, that obviously my task was to give people hope when all seems hopeless."

#Marineland needs to stop the threats of euthanization, which amount to attempted extortion, and do the right thing by moving these beluga whales to a seaside sanctuary 100% at their expense. They made millions exploiting them. It’s the very least they can do now.

Marineland, which closed its doors last year, is running out of food for its remaining animals, including its belugas. Faced with an uncertain future, the belugas must be urgently and safely transported or be euthanized to avoid starvation. #vetmed

Lyle Lewis @race2extinct.bsky.social · 5d

Nearly 400 marine mammals have washed up sick or dead on California’s Central Coast since June. Leptospirosis, toxic algal blooms, food collapse. The ocean itself is becoming uninhabitable for the life it holds — and most deaths go unseen. #RacingToExtinction

Animal testing should be outlawed in all forms. Period. It’s bad science…wait…it’s not science at all, and there’s no justification for it. It’s really all about research grant money...no surprise there.
