With animal agriculture accounting for 38% of Ireland’s GHG emissions, #foodsystemchange must be part of that transformative action. Let’s hope our new President finds her way to starting that discussion.

We'll be there marching with these messages 🙂 Because ending fossil fuels is only half the battle. We also urgently need a transition to a #plantbasedfoodsystem, in Ireland and around the world.

“The killing of animals for our own consumption is not a scary thing, it’s not weird”
Maybe it should be?! Maybe Nick and Cass could be teaching their children that animals are sentient beings and we don’t need to kill and eat our friends.

At least the Irish Times is mentioning it with a 'this is alarming' framing. RTÉ seems to have nothing to say on the subject 👎
