80% of agricultural methane arises from animal farms, of which almost 90% comes from enteric fermentation by cows and sheep, and about 10% from animal manure. Methane from rice is 92% lower.

It’s not the rice.
It’s the cows.

In the 19th century, people who refrained from meat were ridiculed and ostracised from mainstream culture for being “odd,” “eccentric,“ and “half-crazed.“

Cut to today, and we can only marvel at the breathtaking progress of anti-veganism.

If we must exercise imagination to acknowledge what is already
present within animals, it shows how dependent our moral ideas are on superficiality.

REAL ANIMAL RIGHTS NOW !!!!!!!!!!!

In the UK, 63% of agricultural land is grassland for feeding livestock and 22% feed crops. Animals are used and prematurely killed to feed our proud nation of animal lovers, leaving just 15% of farming land available for food crops.

Black veganism isn’t purity politics.
It’s remembering that liberation was never meant to be compartmentalized.
Food. Land. Labor. Bodies. Futures. All connected.

We coo over pets and admire rolling pastures but flinch at the thought of what happens beyond the fences. We watch glaciers melt and corals starve, yet still believe our daily choices have nothing to do with it.

Humanity’s great failing has been to believe that moral inquiry ends with itself.

A note on welfarism:

Better exploitation is not better than no exploitation.

A new take on an established message.

Respect is not a delicacy reserved for those who resemble us. It is the cord that binds any meaningful claim to justice.
