Many of the chickens rescued from the Petaluma Poultry Slaughterhouse had pododermatitis (infected feet). After they were rescued, their feet were bandaged with padding to help them heal. #RightToRescue #PerdueTrial

The RAF’s concession is not the end of the fight. It is evidence that the fight works.

RAF Personnel Win Fight for Vegan Uniforms

The Ministry of Defence has finally conceded what should have been obvious: no one should be forced to wear the skin and hair of another animal.

Like a mystical character fr a children’s book, w his fuzzy ears, scrunched up face & teeny tiny peg legs 🥰 Can you believe Squidgy almost ended up on someone’s plate? 🥺

It’s heartbreaking to know how many equally unique individuals aren’t so lucky, but for those who are, they still need our help👇🏻🙏🏻

One of the original #53 pigs, Squidgy is so called because he has the most squidgy face & enormous tusks. He is one of a group of five very large boys at BTW Sanctuary.

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 🐀

Mice Show Empathy, Science Shows None 🐁

Who do you think controls the narrative? We who are subjected to gratuitous violence & a brutal death at a fraction of our potential age? Or those who stand to gain from our cruel abuse?
Who do you listen to? Victims or abusers?

And one of the coolest things about Cirque du Soleil? All performers are humans and they’re performing voluntarily. No elephants being beaten with bull hooks, etc.

One of the cool things about Cirque Du Soleil is at the end of the show when everyone is coming out and doing bows, all of the stagehands and camera ppl come out too. It's great to see behind the scenes people being acknowledged. Doesn't happen very often in most scenarios.
