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.

The RSPCA are quoted as saying that they "are intelligent animals who form strong social bonds" in order to make it clear why it is unacceptable.
Cows, pigs, chickens etc however? Fuck em.

Can you imagine?

This is basically the equivalent of hospitals currently serving animal products. The science is as clear as it was re 🚬, but disinformation tactics used to sow doubt in public opinion remain as effective as ever -the Animal Ag industry taking cues straight out of tobacco’s playbook

A machine sweeps up living chickens and shoots them into crates for slaughter — breaking bones, crushing bodies.

This is not farming.
This is systematic abuse.

Watch. Share. Choose compassion.
Go vegan.

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.

Quite apart from the financial issues with tariffs on films - Americans seem often to already have limited interest in/awareness of foreign lands. Imposing further cultural isolation ain't going to help.
