Like. . . the answer to this racist shit is not “eat less pork.”

This is evil and should be stopped, not “demand tamped down.”

If humans don’t wake up and as quickly as possible run away from the antiquated idea that everything on the planet is here for humans to squander however they like, our children, grandchildren, and all future generations will suffer serious consequences.

With so many great and readily available options…plant-based milks, cheeses, ice cream…there’s no reason to support the immeasurable cruelty of the dairy industry. It’s easier than ever to simply #DitchDairy and #GoVegan

Marineland should immediately arrange for the belugas to be moved to seaside sanctuaries, and Marineland should bear all costs associated with that move. Period.

A Canadian theme park said it will have no choice but to euthanize 30 beluga whales if the federal government does not provide emergency funding by the end of Tuesday.

Suddenly Marineland is worried about the welfare of the belugas? But they were ok keeping them imprisoned in concrete tanks as long as they could profit from it? Sounds like they’re full of whale 💩

Silly me. I thought government was supposed to serve public interests, not special interests. Lobbyists own WAY too many politicians, and the public suffers as a result. And one of the richest and most powerful lobbies is the animal agriculture industry. They care about nothing but their profits.

🤦‍♂️ Big win for the giant man-babies who feel their masculinity is in danger if we use "real alpha men meaty names" for vegetable foods (something that's been done for at least 40 years in many cases and no one's dick has fallen off so far (I believe)).

Keep sharing & putting them on blast until they straighten out their priorities.

Let’s state the obvious. The calves never should have been in the trailer in the first place. The only reason they were there is due to the incorrect assumption by humans that humans are free to use and abuse other species as they see fit. Anthropocentrism belongs in the dustbin of history.

Hey, dairy industry. How about some truth in advertising? Instead of “Got Milk”, be honest and change it to “Got Cruelty”

Everyone can help put an end to these horrors.

The split second someone learns that day old male chicks are either ground up alive or suffocated by the egg industry should be the split second that person stops eating eggs. That’s just the tip of the iceberg of unspeakable cruelty the animal ag industry represents. Do your part to end it. #Vegan

“If we were to one day encounter a form of life more powerful and intelligent than our own, and it regarded us as we regard fish, what would be our argument against being eaten?“

THIS. And it’s not just each meal 🍽️

It’s each time we reject leather, wool, down, etc

It’s each time we refuse to use animals as entertainment ie zoos, aquariums, rodeos, etc 🐘

It’s each time we look for a certified #CrueltyFree symbol on cleaning products, cosmetics, etc

Illustration of lobsters in captivity. Top panel shows a close-up of a lobster’s eye with the words “I am scared…” Middle panel shows three lobsters upright in a tank, claws bound, with speech bubbles: “Suffocating…”, “Hungry…”, and “I must escape…” Bottom panel shows lobsters crammed in a tank grid. The artwork conveys the fear and suffering lobsters experience in the food industry.
