Generally speaking, most of us could count on one hand the people we truly love. To count the dogs we'd need more hands. This says more about people than it does about dogs.

Here I was thinking book burning was a thing of the past I'd have to describe to my son one day. Nope, alive and well!

This is their life. They only get one. And if you don't care about them, care enough about yourself to stop supporting this, since bacon is a group 1 carcinogen.

This isn't a life. It's a prison sentence. We are monsters.
Hidden camera footage reveals sows confined to cages so small they cannot even turn around, for up to 28 days at a time.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Don't like it? Maybe stop paying for it! Supply and demand....
This sow was forcibly impregnated and lives in a cage that is too small for her to turn around. She tried to flee. But there is no escape from this hell — as long as people pay for it.

Was about to bash Baby Boomers for still believing we need cow's milk for strong bones, but remembered Gen Z are out here thinking vaping is harmless. Industry led propaganda alive and kicking!
This isn’t a sugar tax. It’s a dairy subsidy masquerading as one, and plant-based milk drinkers are the ones paying for it.

100 on track deaths....and who knows how many off track deaths, since this stat is completely hidden. And in SA the industry's assisted by a reform inspector with NO intention of reporting factually on the state of the industry and who continues to sign off on inquiry recommendations without proof!
100 DOGS DEAD IN 2025 💔
One-year-old Brunswick Rocks became the 100th greyhound to die on-track in 2025.
He suffered a "near side front leg injury" and was put down at Queensland's Q2 track.
Brunswick Rocks' third race was his last. He made his exploiters $995.

We remember Eurydice Dixon, who would have turned 30 last week.
In the eight years since her murder, 719 women and children have also been murdered.
We must all fight harder for change.

Free range hens end up in the same place as battery cage hens...here.
Exhausted and discarded 💔
When hens’ bodies give out from relentless egg laying, the industry kills entire flocks—gassed, buried, or suffocated.
Don’t support this cruelty.
Go egg-free 🥚❌

Literature shows that war is not only fought with weapons. In dystopias like 1984 and The Handmaid’s Tale, the battlefield is the mind. Resistance becomes quiet rebellion, and peace becomes the courage to remember truth. #BookWormSat

All this, and almond/oat/soy/rice/coconut milk exist...make it make sense??
Watch this "spent" dairy cow being dragged to the slaughterhouse, after a life of repetitive abuse, forced pregnancy, and cruel separations from her newborns.
It's simple: consuming dairy is animal abuse. Wait no longer. Go vegan today.

The end of the life of a spent #dairy cow 👺 When you are not profitable anymore you will be sent to slaughter. If you can’t walk they will drag you. Dairy cows on average are murdered when 5-6 years old. A cow can live 20-25 years when treated well. #DitchDairy TODAY #GoPlantbased NOW #LiveVegan ✌️
