The lengths we go to, to avoid seeing the bleeding obvious.
‘Body parts’ is a term normally used for human bobies. Abattoirs trade in meat, not body parts.

Very enjoyable and hopeful evening seeing @georgemonbiot.bsky.social in Nottingham tonight. Last time I saw him speak was October 2019 inside Smithfield meat market, which I'd helped to occupy with (then) Animal Rebellion.

The Times using its front page to let us know how environmentally bad avocados are cos they clear rainforests to grow them and they use 320 litres of water to grow.

I worked in climate change comms (focusing on unions & working class action) back in the noughties, & we knew then what did & didn’t work, in terms of people’s sense of reciprocity, proportion, duty & what just invites a backlash. It’s depressing how bad the establishment is at learning this lesson.
Oh my goodness, Climate Change Committee - did you actually put this in a press release?!?

Did you not want anyone to remember anything about the report, beyond “Guardian / BBC moralises about working class diets” (and no doubt v shortly… Sun says #saveourkebabs from Net Zero, Farage joins in?”£

“Boss, I’ve got this story about a murderous cult”
“Call it a vegan cult”
“But it’s not got anything to do with veganism”

Wales is banning dog racing 🎉 The Telegraph is worried where it will end! Oh no, could this inadvertently bring an end to animal exploitation?? That would be just terrible www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/02...
