Honestly I don’t mind humans being purged from the earth because of their selfish destruction of the environment … what upsets me is every innocent animal will perish along with us. That hurts the most 💔

If you’re against needless exploitation, harm and killing - your ethics are already vegan in theory.
It’s so much easier and less scary than you think to put those ethics into practice. We’ll help! DM’s open.

Increasingly, the meat, milk, and eggs we eat come from mega factory farms, which house 5x, 10x, or 90x as many animals than what the govt. considers a "large" farm. I talked to people who live near them — about the stench, the flies, and more: www.vox.com/future-perfe...
