How is it we’ve been so utterly conditioned as a society to turn a blind eye to our monstrous use of other animals?
Please, learn about veganism (not a diet) w an open mind, and be part of a desperately needed consciousness shift towards peace & fairness for all.

Every year, billions of animals suffer in factory farms, labs, and slaughterhouses cruelly exploited for food, clothing, and useless experiments. These sentient beings feel fear, pain, and despair, just like us. Yet, we treat them as disposable commodities.

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell.
Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass.
That, right there, is the problem.

Salmon farming is a cruelty we can’t ignore.
🐟 5 kg of wild fish = 1 kg of farmed salmon
💩 Massive pollution from waste and chemicals
😷 Disease and parasites spread to wild fish
🚫 Sentient beings crammed in cages, suffering
This isn’t sustainable. It’s animal abuse.
