Illustration showing a fox with a full fur coat above the skinned body of a fox below. Decorative plants frame the image. Text underneath reads: “Fur coats are worn by beautiful animals and ugly people.” The artwork condemns the fur industry by contrasting the natural beauty of animals with the brutality of killing them for fashion.

87% of Americans still believe they need animals for protein. Research shows plant protein builds muscle just as effectively as animal protein when consumed in the same amounts - without the higher risks of heart disease, cancers, and diabetes.

I don't understand how there are people out there buying a packet of bacon and genuinely not understanding that they are paying for pigs to be killed, a literal economic vote to keep the gas chambers in operation 🐖

Hands-on Emergency First Aid at Work training ensures they're ready for any situation. Would you know what to do in an emergency?

Two people stand in a classroom setting as one demonstrates the Heimlich maneuver on the other, while several onlookers are seated nearby and a training manikin lies on the floor.

They're killed when they're already dead 😐

Screenshot of a tweet by user VicToria April Perry (@ToriAprilPerry_) replying to @VeganForLifeNZ and @LuckIntolerant. The tweet reads: “I'm not a vegan and I'm not afraid to say it. Idc who says im wrong for not being vegan. Animals deserve consideration. But it's not like these animals are being killed while alive. They're already dead.” Timestamp: 21:47 · 07 Jan 19 · Twitter for Android. The tweet has 3 retweets and 2 likes.

The Grand National sells itself as tradition. So did bear-baiting. So did dog fighting. Exploitation wrapped in history is still exploitation 🏇

Leading the way on the slopes!

As a ski leader and medic, I'm ensuring school children have an unforgettable and safe adventure in the stunning Italian Alps! 🏔️⛷️

»For years, the world has been sold a simple story: fossil fuels are the biggest driver of climate change. But [...] animal agriculture is actually the primary driver - responsible for 53% of global average temperature rise between 1750 and 2020. Fossil fuels? Just 19%.« #AnimalRights #GoVegan

Wedderburn-Bisshop’s research makes it clear: if we count emissions honestly, the biggest culprit isn’t oil or gas - it’s the global exploitation of animals for food. Fossil fuels must go. But the future isn’t just about clean energy.

If animals are killed "humanely", why doesn't slaughterhouse footage ever turn vegans back to using animals? Why does the footage instead turn people vegan?

Illustration divided into three sections.

Top left: A person holding a phone with text: “If you ever come across slaughterhouse footage.”
Top right: The same person covering their mouth, turning away from the screen, with text: “You can always stop watching and move on with your life.”
Bottom: A pig confined in a metal crate, looking distressed. Text reads: “BUT THEY DON’T GET THAT CHANCE. And living in denial only enables the abuse to continue.”

The image contrasts human avoidance of slaughterhouse reality with the inescapable suffering of animals.

Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose.”
