Animal rights is THE social campaign above and beyond in importance than all the others - because it encompasses all the others, whether it be environmentalism, slavery, racism, sexism, whateverism.

Veganism is the only comprehensive rights movement, all the others were partisan solutions.

The coward seems to have posted a response and blocked. They obviously can’t handle their own hypocrisy.

The sheer scale is the problem. Rice paddies aren't good but they're not in the same league.

This turner prize entry by Mohammad Sami about hunting speakers to me of man's inhumanity to this planet. Humans rape and pillage the land of everything (or pay for it to be done) and then gave the audacity to call themselves intelligent.

How can someone go vegan when they're clueless as to what veganism actually is? Always brings it back to exploitation.

Having got used to threads I find it superior technology to bluesky for content creation. For example I can see at a glance who has replied to my posts. Also I can edit my posts for a minute or two, which helps me double check for inadvertent spelling corrections and other misdemeanors.

Super embarrassing for the @spectator to publish such rubbish.

So true and I’m still ashamed it took me so long to wake up😳
Denmark brag about being an Educated country ahead of so many others and Welfare above all just not Farm Animals even we as the only Country so far have a law saying they are sentient beings and should be treated as such but they don’t 🖤🙇‍♀️

Sexism: It is a fact that animal agirculture simply could not exist without systematic rape of billions of females. How on earth even one woman can drink dairy milk, for example, is beyond me.

Animal Agriculture own 60% of Denmark’s 🇩🇰 soil to grow crops to The Pig Industry!
#AG own the World look at your own Country 🤔 they Spin in Governments too and enormous power 🤬

Want more Tax money to the Subsidies they get every year to survive anyway‼️

Indigenous rights: The core target of vegans remains those who have access to shops, grocery stores with plentiful affordable plant-based options.

Also adoption of veganism can help return lands to indigenous peoples, by stopping the seemingly insatiable land grab by BigAg.

Cats are Predators and their instinct plus they love to give their owner a gift

That said Birds struggle Worldwide and decrease in numbers have that in mind.

I’m not against Cats inside but I’m tired of my neighbors that kill the birds and shit and piss in my garden! But Quess I’m wrong there.

Most humans are numb to the barbarism.

Most humans would rather insult the messengers of empathy for the voiceless victims than accept the barbarity they directly support and gain the self awareness and self actualization necessary to end it.

Within humans killing someone carries the heaviest sentence that a court can impose, regardless of country.

Now if we kill a farm animal it is called HUMANE slaughter., ie how we would treat a human.

Call it what is is, barbaric slaughter. Most humans are barbarians.

The animal agriculture industry handles chickens very roughly, despite the legislation that exists to prevent this. 🐔

How the Chicken Exploitation Industry Handles Birds

The chicken exploitation industry (composed mainly of the broiler chicken industry to produce meat and the laying hen industry to produce eggs) handles birds in a variety of ways as chickens are taken…

Ttreating an animal well or bad and then killing it still takes away the life. Poor welfare is horrible but it is a result of a killing machine bent on improving profits.

Less welfare=Higher profit especially sold as high welfare.

Veganism is about stopping the business because it's corrupt.
