Between 200 - 250 million turkeys are slaughtered for food in U.S. every year. About 46 million turkeys are killed for Thanksgiving. 22 million for Christmas. Nearly 99 percent of these turkeys come from factory farms. They are slaughtered at 12–16 weeks old. Mere babies.

"Humane meat" is marketing nonsense make consumers feel better purchasing food is the product of violence, terror. Products come from animals raised on factory farms. Product packaging feature images of happy animals in green pastures, truth of living conditions crowded warehouses, filth, misery.

Hunting is no sport. Only one side has weapons of destruction. Wouldn't it be nice to arm animals so they had a fighting chance? Canned hunting - trophy hunt where animals are kept in confined areas like fenced ranch to prevent their escape, make tracking easier for the hunter.

Very old school t-shirt. The sentiment is clear, animals do not give permission for us to kill and use their bodies. That is the definition of murder...

Non-vegans believe meat that is marked "humane" or any number of marketing slogans, go to slaughterhouses where they're treated to tea and a snack before being led to a mattress where they're given a pill that makes them sleep. All slaughterhouses are brutal, bloody and violent.

Every strip of bacon, slice of ham, came from a mother - pigs are killed at 6 months of age, you're eating a baby.

Gestation crates lock pregnant sows for 4 months, while farrowing crates hold them during birth. These cause severe physical/mental distress, restrict natural behaviors. Cruelty.

Funny how non-vegans claim "their" meat, dairy, eggs come from small farms where animals are loved & never die.

In the U.S., 99% of poultry & pork comes from factory farms - 99.9% of broiler chickens, 99.8% of turkeys, 98.3–98.6% of pigs.

More than 99% of all U.S. livestock are factory-farmed.

This hip cat knows one cannot be a meat eating environmentalist.

Livestock production 14-18% global greenhouse gas emissions.

67% agricultural land grown feed for livestock, 8% grown for human consumption.

Deforestation (75% grazing/feed), intense water consumption (1,800 gallons 1 lb beef).

Meat (dairy,eggs) is disgusting. Meat is decomposing flesh of an animal killed against their will. One needs to refrigerate/freeze meat returning from store, cook met at high temperature to kill any bacteria like Salmonella, so the meat does not kill you. That is quite disgusting. And dangerous.

Thanks @Countercurrents publishing my op-ed. Israel finally conceded Gaza Ministry of Health's death toll of 71,622 is accurate. After 2 years denial, why now and what do the numbers mean? I get into who is counted and who is not. tinyurl.com/2juz45cr
IDF Accepts Gaza Ministry of Health’s death toll: Why Now, and What Do the Numbers Mean? | Countercurrents
Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported on January 29 that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), Israel’s military, have for the first time accepted the Gaza Ministry of Health’s (GMoH) estimate of 71,622…

1.4 billion animals are killed in leather industry annually for their skins - cows, sheep, goats. 20 million animals are killed annually for fur. About 672 million animals - Merino sheep, goats, alpacas are used for wool. After wool production declines, they're slaughtered.

Posting old school animal rights t-shirts. Why? Suffering is suffering. 85 billion land animals, trillions of fishes are slaughtered yearly globally for food - doesn't count animals tortured for clothing, entertainment, so called testing.

Until white people were killed by the police state, some of you didn’t notice you lived in a country that murders people, smears the victims with propaganda, and walks away scot-free...and it shows. open.substack.com/pub/evolotus...

@evolotus.bsky.social wrote a brilliant piece about Americans (white) realizing they live in a fascist state. Black, BIPOC have known this for hundreds of years, before Trump became president. Their bodies have been murdered by law enforcement agencies forever.

It's not enough to extend compassion towards fellow humans. Nonhuman animals suffer deeply, precisely due to humans. Compassion asks us to push through speciesism and recognize ourselves in all sentient beings. Ceasing to use and eat animals will bring us closer to the peace we envision.

Would like to rewrite “A Christmas Carol.” The main character is visited by the ghosts of animals past that he played a role in killing for food, clothing and entertainment. At the end, he realizes the ethical choice is to go vegan. The animal ghosts congratulate him, move on to next nonvegan.

All individuals desire to live. It’s built into sentient being’s DNA. It’s more than just instinct.

Taking away an individual’s right to life is unethical. Therefore, the ethical choice is vegan.

I'm posting my opinion piece I wrote two months ago that @commondreams.org published. "How Many Dead Palestinian Children Are Enough?," is what I asked then. Sadly, the numbers continue to grow without an end in sight.

Today is Gabe's birthday. He's four, same as Lilly. And they're still lovebirds.

Gabe struggles with fear and anxiety, car rides, people, life, but he's the sweetest, most handsome and special boy.

If you'd like to wish Gabe birthday wishes, I will pass them along.
