“Farm animals are far more aware and intelligent than we ever imagined and, despite having been bred as domestic slaves, they are individual beings in their own right
As such, they deserve our respect. And our help. Who will plead for them if we are silent?”

We owe so much to animals and to the people who care & love them ❤️
Today, let’s celebrate the simple, powerful act of kindness that can transform lives, for both people & animals
Every small gesture counts, whether it's a warm smile, a helping hand, a hug or a word of encouragement

Octopuses are remarkable (8 legs, 3 hearts, blue-green blood and so much more)
Proposed farming of them at the Pescanova Corp is completely at odds with everything we understand about the species & what we know to be morally right
We must END.IT 🐙

On #WorldAnimalDay let us remember the sentient farm animals that are out of sight & out of mind
Hidden behind closed doors, they live a life of misery & cruelty, confined cages and barns
We are lucky to have animals in our lives yet we treat so many, so very badly. Shame on us
