And 70% of the land could be given back to forests and endangered wildlife. Which would also mitigate against climate breakdown.

A win for sentient animals no longer brutally killed.

A win for wild species who have lost their habitat.

A win for the climate.

A win for human health.

A lamb is a baby sheep.

If you eat lamb at you are eating a baby.

When will humans realise that there is just one livable planet and they stop killing each other and everything on it. What on earth is wrong with them all 🤬

What a sick species we are 😞

@bsky.app

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 🙏 Give us groups soon so that we can chat with friends and have community.

Groups are the only reason millions of us are still keeping X accounts.

Did you know?

Sausages are literally pigs stuffed inside their own intestines.

#Veganuary2025 Try it and never look back.

Yes plants are living organisms but they do not have a central nervous system or a brain. But that said I am a vegan for plants too as more plants are destroyed to feed 80 billion farmed animals plus all the forests & ecosystems wiped out for grazing.

Merry #Christmas to all the wonderful, compassionate, caring vegan people out there 🌱 Have a great day with an open heart full of hope for a more peaceful world🎄☃️💗

To all non vegans I hope you can move towards a life of compassion for ALL life & a realisation that there is no need to harm anyone 🙏

I feel the same. If you ever get the chance to visit please do. I have been there 3 times now and I had never met pigs before that, they are so wonderful. They are so loving and playful and they even smell nice 🐷

Barrrrhumbug Gina you are such a bundle of joy!! 😞

Actually I am quite a joyful person on the whole but seeing our species destroy our earth is heartbreaking.

We have to change who we are and why we do what we do.

Xmas waste facts 👇

Here are 2 trees that were cut down between 6-8 years old.

Did you know that in the wild these trees can live up to 500 years? 😞🌲

What a #waste 😞
December 15, 2024 at 12:01 PM
We all see this image every year but like all things we just accept it.

The holiday is over & those darn needles are sticking in our socks🧦

12,000 tonnes of the total UK waste generated this Christmas is the 8 million Christmas trees people have bought specifically. 😞🌲
December 15, 2024 at 12:01 PM
Did you know that 120 million Christmas trees are cut down every Christmas across the world, leading to large scale deforestation and CO2 release? Plus killing the wildlife who live in and on these trees 😞

It looks pretty & 'festive' doesn't it? 🎄

Our childhood excitement never really goes away. The story we were told filled us with magic 🎄

But like all things we have been told there is always another side 😞

Christmas trees are harvested & then off they go trucked all over the place travelling 100s of miles to end up in your living room. #Shipping #Pollution

From a cool mountainside plantation to central heating & adorned with plastic or glass baubles.

Why? 🤔

Ho Ho Ho A #ChristmasTree story 🎄 🧵THREAD

Did you know that it takes 10 yrs to grow a 5ft Christmas tree?

10 yrs for these trees to race to kiss the sun & build their root connections.

Along come humans & cut them down to decorate for 1 month 😞
