Apparently if a product is not derived from the torture and slaughter of fellow sentient beings it can’t be marketed as 'milk' or 'cheese'.
So please msm tell the gory truth about dairy production

In the Faroe Islands, sentient marine mammals are driven into shallow bays and killed in front of their families. Entire pods can be wiped out at once, ending bloodlines in a single day.
Help stop this senseless slaughter; take action at: @seashepherd.org

Thank you Sherry for repeatedly highlighting our inhumane cruelty
I can’t repost this enough 😟
PLEASE - I’m begging you all. STOP supporting evil and unnecessary animal ab/using industries and start learning to live vegan
In a world-first investigation, Joey Carbstrong & team captured footage from inside a CO2 gas chamber used to kill end of lay egg hens.

This Abattoir, kills over half of the spent egg layers in the UK, many are from free range or organic farming systems.

Raped. Oppressed. Mutilated. Enslaved. Murdered. None of it is normal, it’s simply been normalized & ignored.

A new report indicates that zero net migration would shrink the UK economy by 3.6% and likely force an increase in taxes, as well as being cruel, inhuman and impractical.

Migration is good for our country. Inequality is the problem. Tax the super-rich.

The carnivore diet fad, a regiment of eating only meat, eggs, and dairy, is still circulating online. Many underestimate the enormous harm this can cause, to the climate, the environment, animals, and human health.

Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️
