Justice isn't a lifestyle choice - go vegan

Justice isn't a lifestyle choice - go vegan
The biggest threat to animals might be the words we use.
Words are powerful. Language can change reality.
Speciesist language shapes unconscious bias & reinforces the denial of animal personhood. Semantic bias in everyday speech contributes to systemic oppression & exploitation of sentient beings.

ANIMALS ARE NOT COMMODITIES.
We're not asking for animals to be exploited 'more kindly' or killed 'more humanely' - whatever that means.
We're demanding an end to ALL animal use.

"Animals and people" is an insidious & harmful phrase that I see being used by vegans all the time.
It's a human supremacist phrase that implies & reinforces the non-vegan idea that only humans have personhood.
As #AnimalRights advocates, we should be challenging this phrase at every opportunity.

Most anti‑vegan arguments aren’t moral positions.

If someone slit your dog’s throat, you’d call it cruelty.
If the victim is a pig, you call it dinner.
The difference isn’t moral. It’s cultural.

Most people "love animals".
Most people don’t want to hurt them.
Most people pay for them to be hurt every day.
That cognitive dissonance between who we are and what we fund is where the tension lives.

Keith Mann has died. Keith was dedicated to the liberation of animals. He participated in several campaigns, direct actions and spent years in prison. He was a inspiration and a good comrade. He will be deeply missed. Rest In Power Keith! 🖤 #Directaction #Solidarity
