95% of lab animals are mice & rats, not because they’re the best models, but because they are small, easy to handle, and cheap to breed 🐀

Thousands of animals killed just so humans can shoot grouse for fun. This isn’t “tradition” — it’s canned hunting.

Mothers do not belong in cages.

A sow is confined in a metal farrowing crate, unable to move freely. She has open wounds and sores on her side. A piglet marked with pink dye is visible beneath her, nursing on the slatted plastic flooring. The image highlights the suffering and injury endured by pigs in factory farming.

It's not leather, it's someone's skin.

Zack Polanski called on Sadiq Khan to introduce plant-based meals by default at City Hall. Not banning flesh. Not removing choice. Just making the animal-free option the default - just like flesh is now. And Khan’s response?

First chickens. Now sheep. Bird flu keeps crossing species. Animal farming isn’t just cruel, it’s a public health time bomb.

Humans are not bonobos. Our evolutionary path was shaped by scarcity, male coalitions, and the cultural snowball of property and patriarchy. But bonobos remind us that another primate blueprint is possible.

What If Humans Had Evolved Like Bonobos?

Humans pride themselves on being unique.
