I don't understand what I'm watching. The weaver bird seems to go from male to female while the sun is rising, then is a completely different species at the end of the video. Confused 😕

Yep. Being vegan can be healthy or unhealthy, just as being not vegan can be healthy or unhealthy. It's your responsibility to eat healthy food and not junk food.

My wife went vegan at 13 and has also been vegan 40 years. But I suspect whatever I say, you'll come up with some excuse or so-called 'reason' not to go vegan yourself. I know your type.

A little guerrilla vegan advocacy: take a book you own, write a message inspired by its story inside the cover, and donate it to a free book swap. For Animal Farm: “What would ‘all animals are equal’ mean beyond these pages? Go vegan.” Plant a question. Pass it on. 🌱 #Veganism #AnimalRights

Photorealistic mock-up of a wooden book-swap shelf in a railway station. A sign reads “FREE BOOKS - Take a book • Leave a book.” Among the donated books, a red copy of George Orwell’s Animal Farm faces forwards, prominently displaying its cover with a pale pig silhouette.

Photorealistic mock-up of Animal Farm opened to its title page on a wooden table. Beneath the printed title and author, George Orwell, a message handwritten in blue biro reads: “What would ‘all animals are equal’ mean beyond these pages? Go vegan.”

The Laughing Cow has lost her smile in a new marketing stunt. Maybe she’s wondering why you’re eating her baby’s milk, where her calf has gone, and why her reward for years of being used is a slaughterhouse. The question isn’t why she stopped laughing. It’s why we ever imagined she would. #Vegan

Not having others enslaved, tortured and killed for your pleasure and convenience is not radical or extreme... It's just the bare minimum level of decency and respect.

Hardcore Vegan @hardcorevegan.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

It's equally true to say that as long as man walked upright, we have killed other HUMANS sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly……… Do you think that justifies murder? Do you condone the murder of your fellow men? Or is "People have always done it" just a pathetic and illogical excuse?

This is appalling. Surely the courts are legally bound to interpret the law as it was intended, not simply as is convenient for certain parties

So we move into their home, then lock them up for still living there. How convenient that “coexistence” always seems to mean other animals giving way.

“Live and let live,” says the person paying for someone else to die. Your taste preferences don’t justify destroying someone else's entire life. When your choice has a victim, it deserves more than “each to their own”. Be vegan. #AnimalRights #Vegan

I put the question to ChatGPT. This line nails it: “Animals don’t owe you their bodies because you like what you can do with them.” Disagree? What justifies exploiting someone when you have the choice not to? #Vegan #AnimalRights

White graphic with a bold black heading: “I asked Chat GPT if there’s ANY valid reason for someone NOT to be vegan.” “ANY” and “NOT” are underlined. Below is a screenshot of this exchange:

User: “Is there a valid reason not to be vegan?”

ChatGPT: “If unnecessary animal exploitation is wrong, then no.

Veganism already means avoiding animal exploitation as far as possible and practicable. Genuine necessity is covered. Taste, tradition and convenience don’t turn avoidable exploitation into necessity.

‘But I enjoy it’ isn’t an ethical justification. It’s the preference you’re being asked to justify.

Animals don’t owe you their bodies because you like what you can do with them.”

It begs the question, if the only way to grow an organisation set up to promote veganism is to avoid promoting veganism, what's the point in that organisation at all?

Hardcore Vegan @hardcorevegan.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Beautifully put. We’ve mistaken our power over other animals for a right to use them. Their lives matter to them, regardless of how useful they are to us. Recognising that should change how we live

133

Hardcore Vegan @hardcorevegan.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Those ideas have certainly helped justify exploitation. What strikes me is how little justification we now require. “I like the taste” is enough to end someone’s life. That’s the assumption I want us to question: that their lives are ours to dispose of in the first place.

If killing someone for something as trivial as a taste preference is acceptable, where exactly does “animal abuse” begin? In my latest article, I argue that factory farming is an inevitable result of treating other animals as ours to use. Read why: ko-fi.com/Post/Factory... #AnimalRights #Veganism

The system isn't 'broken' - it's fundamentally flawed at its root. The issue isn't 'cruelty' - it's use. Once we have accepted that animals are ours to use - and even kill - for our own pleasure/gain, we give ourselves and others license to do with them pretty much as we see fit. #Veganism

Once we say animals are ours to use, any abuse becomes a matter of degree.” “Hardcore Vegan” appears at the bottom.
