Sometimes I wonder if the “being vegan is hard” narrative is just propaganda, as I find it incredibly easy even in this non-vegan world. Once I made the connection in my head many years ago the choice has always been a simple one: Choose compassion. It quickly becomes second nature.

This is the # of animals slaughtered EVERY DAY These animals require vast quantities of food & water before being slaughtered as mere babies & adolescents This requires far more land use/loss (crops, deforestation, biodiversity loss) than feeding humans directly ourworldindata.org/how-many-ani...
Screenshot from https://ourworldindata.org/how-many-animals-get-slaughtered-every-day

How many animals get slaughtered for meat every day?
Our World in Data

900,000 cows

1.4 million goats

1.7 million sheep

3.8 million pigs

12 million ducks

202 million chickens
This means that every average minute 140,000 chicken get slaughtered

Hundreds of millions of fish*

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #BestFootForward - any bird taking a step forward or standing on one leg. This Sanderling, taken on a recent @naturetrek.bsky.social Iceland tour is doing just that as it runs along a beach looking for food #Waders #Shorebirds

Good morning birders. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #BestFootForward- any bird taking a step forward or standing on one leg. #ASplashOfColour- Celebrate vibrant plumage or colourful backgrounds that complement the bird. #birds #photography #ECK
A Little Egret coming in to land on a lush green field, its brilliant white wings fully spread and its long black leg extended forward, with yellow-green feet reaching towards the ground. Its slender black bill points ahead and its alert eye is clearly visible. Sunlight illuminates the delicate wing feathers, while the softly blurred green grass and sparkling highlights in the background add a fresh, vibrant feel to the scene.
