Australia to create a national park for 12,000 koalas

Just look at and listen to these absolute morons 🤬 Now take a long look at the helpless and concerned animals, unable to help their friend or family member escape their undoubtedly cruel and unnecessary fate 💔
Enough is enough.

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

Everyone needs to be made aware of what is happening in Niagara Falls 🆘 Apparently there is a #WhaleSanctuaryProject nearing completion in Nova Scotia, but #Marineland only seems interested in cashing in on the 100s of millions $$$ their land is worth #30Belugas🆘

Marineland's 30 Belugas Whales May Have To Be Euthanized.

Marineland says its 30 belugas may have to be euthanized. How would that even happen? | CBC Accessibility

Marineland has threatened to euthanize their 30 belugas if the federal government doesn’t supply financial support. But experts say that comes with a host of logistical and moral issues.

Marineland is just verifying why all animal exploitaiton must end. Marineland has made millions and millions and millions of dollars exploiting animals..... and now they'd rather send their prisoners to another prison, instead of giving them freedom. PURE EVIL.

Same. I have to go out of my way regularly to find vegan content. And all too often, I find vegans who have reverted back to TwitterX for lack of engagement here

You're not crazy to suspect it. I rarely see vegan posts from anybody despite 90%+ of the people I follow being vegan accounts.

I have 600+ followers yet get less interaction than I did on Facebook where I had less followers. Doesn't make sense.

I think I must be, why else wouldn’t I show up in recent hashtags?
Dorsey did the same on Twitter, only not to the extent that musk is.
They boost accounts that virtue signal about ‘wanting’ change and quash accounts who call for direct action, and the latter always includes vegans

My account is definitely being suppressed as I show up in none of the hashtags recently used. Just another SM platform quashing voices that directly threaten corporate profits

Crazy idea: What if parents actually taught their kids to be kind and compassionate to all animals, human and non-human alike? Does any sane person think that’s a bad idea?

Sherry w/ a whY @justiceforall.bsky.social · 17h

Parents always say ‘if your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?’

Yet those same parents will use others as an excuse when it comes to our unnecessary, outdated & barbaric use of animals, because everyone else is still doing it, right? 😟

You prefer to see yourselves as doing nothing evil, nothing out of the ordinary, just behaving innocuously like everyone else. Yet simultaneously you subject us to gratuitous violence, mutilation & brutal massacres. You are perpetrators of atrocities.

At a time when biodiversity is collapsing, food shortages are starting & urgent action is needed, @globalnews.ca fails time & again to report on the dire need for a plant based transition. Instead we get counterproductive nonsense like this in between animal cooking segments

Everyone needs to get behind #UBI

It is so frustrating watching local governments trying to cope w the ever increasing #homelessness crisis whilst a proven solution stares us in the face. It’s time for the ultra rich to pay their fair share in taxes & fund UBI⚖️ @cbsnews.com

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world.

This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

OBSERVED EFFECTS OF UBI

No significant reduction in labor supply (38 studies meta-analysis)

Increased self-employment (301%) and part-time employment (17%)

Slight decrease in alcohol and tobacco use (31 studies meta-analysis)

New mothers extend their maternity leaves

Birth weights improve due to better maternal nutrition

Graduation rates and educational outcomes improve

Hospitalization rates decline (8.5%)

Crime goes down (15%–42%) especially illegal hunting (95%)

Domestic violence decreases (30%–51%)

Trust increases (13% in politicians | 6% in other people)

Home ownership rates increase (17%–26%)

Food security increases as does consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables

Improved cognitive functioning (43%) and personality traits (31%)

Savings go up, debts go down
