Retweet if you agree with me that animals deserve better than the world we've created for them. 🧡

I've never seen a clearer visual that depicts the cruelty & apathy of the Meat Industry. 💔 #destroy

Rescued animals remind us that they are worthy of our consideration, and respect. 🐔🐣🐮

They show us the power of compassion and the joy of living free from harm.

Let their stories inspire us to build a kinder, more just future for all beings. 🧡

Would you pay for suffering if you had to watch it happen?

The industry hides the truth.

Hanging out w/ rescued animals (like I did here at @granjitatyh with Thai) is one of my FAVORITE things.

Which brings me to something else exciting in my animal advocacy: l've recently launched a monthly newsletter! Would love if you signed up. ☺️

Had the BEST time speaking in Luxembourg at the International Animal Rights Conference. This is Terry’s story. ✊🏼

If I took a survey of any random selection of people across the globe, 100% of them would say that grinding baby male chicks alive is WRONG.

The vast majority of these people, however, unintentionally support this every time they eat an #egg.

Recently had some of the best #pizza and wings of my life (all #vegan, of course) from Die Pie in Edmonton! 🌱🍕 #AnythingYouCanEatICanEatVegan

If you're born to become #meat, this is your wretched life now. 24/7.

A chicken’s love for her chicks is no less deep than a human’s. This is the REAL reason for #ChickenWings.

Every year, 1,000,000,000 (ONE BILLION) rabbits are killed to be eaten every year. 🐇💔

This chicken is so cold and scared that she's SHAKING -- and she's just moments from being slaughtered. The meat industry doesn't care about the suffering of any individual chicken -- they just care about money. 💔

Every bite is a vote for kindness. Specifically when that bite is #vegan. Agree or disagree?
