I finally deleted my Meta (Facebook / Instagram) accounts today. I have struggled with their business practices for years but I continued to use the FB Marketplace to sell my stuff locally. Though it came a time that I couldn't consciously support their shady business any longer. I am happier now.

People justify their use of animals as long as the animal was treated humanely. However, there's nothing kind or compassionate about the way we treat animals especially when there's no necessity to them being enclosed, used, exploited, mistreated and killed. The only way to be humane is to go vegan.

I have fought for over a year to delete my Facebook acct but I have been stuck using Marketplace to sell stuff. Craigslist was once the go to spot for the exchange of goods and services but lost people to FB Marketplace. I have decided that from today forward I will only use Craigslist to sell on.

For 33 of my 59 yrs I have been vegan. I grew up raising, abusing and slaughtering cows, chickens, sheep, ducks, racing horses, racing pigeons, and geese. At the time it was a normal way of living even though I felt it wasn't right. Once I left home I learned there was a different way of living.

This is just one of trillions of animals tortured each year. The poor being is suffering from the hot water being poured on it. It's frustrating to know that nearly everyone is against cruelty upon animals but they won't go vegan and continue to pay people to inflict suffering and death upon animals

Going Vegan @goingvegan.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
Let's start by providing how vegan is defined. It's not a diet. It's a life philosophy that extends into all aspects of living to exclude all uses off animals when possible and practicable. #goingvegan #vegan #ForTheAnimals
An info graphic with the follow text that defines what vegan means.

[…] a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of humans, animals and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Still waiting to see any of the so called concerned climate scientists advocating for veganism as one mode of adaption to the crisis. To be honest I haven't seen a single one mention it nor even acknowledge they are vegan themselves. It's clear that animal ag is destructive to the planet. #vegan

Going vegan accomplishes more than saving animals from cruelty, abuse, suffering and an untimely death. It also has a significant role in reducing environmental destruction due to the large demand for land and resources necessary to raise animals for food and other purposes. #vegan #climatechange

It's interesting how Big Tech Bros were so easily able to roll AI and mass surveillance into our lives. While reading We and 1984 I wondered how a dystopian world would come about while thinking the people would push back against it. But, now I see that it's much easier than I had thought.

I already posted about this a few times but felt I should mention it another time. People have little perspective on the extent of how animals are used in our daily lives. The manufacturing of car tires for example require stearic acid which gives them elasticity and durability during vulcanization.

People will still argue against veganism even after seeing the extent of cruelty, suffering and eventual death animals experience. They are unwilling to make changes in their way of living just because it causes them to challenge their way of life and beliefs.

Eliminating bovine based food from our diet won't cut methane production to the degree needed to curb climate change. The issue goes beyond diet. We must cut out all use of cattle and the only way that addresses it is by going vegan. Anything less than veganism still includes cows in our life.
