Farming animals for food has been costing the environment & animals far more, for decades, but the backlash has never trended. If the well being of the planet & her inhabitants are a concern for you, using less AI & eating more plant-based meals both count. 💚 📷 leverfoundationmy #EndAnimalAg

🐄 Stealing newborn calves from their mothers is standard dairy industry practice which they fail mention in the adverts. Why support cruelty when there's a plethora of plant based milks to choose from that don't contain stress hormones? 🌱 🎥 joeybilotich #ditchdairy #endanimalag #plantbased

🍏 A fun day at the apple orchard, pumpkin patch, or strawberry field can be educational & enriching for kids. In contrast, a visit to see how meat is produced would be traumatizing for kids & adults alike. If we don’t want to see animal cruelty, we shouldn't be paying for it to happen. #EndAnimalAg

🦞 #NationalLobsterDay Why are lobsters boiled alive? Lobsters & other shellfish have harmful Vibrio bacteria naturally present in their flesh. Once lobsters die, this bacteria can rapidly multiply & release toxins that may not be destroyed by cooking. 🦞 Leave lobsters in the sea where they belong.

🐎 The BLM wild horse roundups happen to pacify the cattle industry’s use of our public lands. But it's not just the BLM. Wildlife Services indiscriminately kill millions of wild animals (even dogs) each year as a means of "predator" control to also benefit the ranching industry. #BLMroundups

🐎 The BLM's wild horse roundup → slaughter pipeline is not new. It's been happening for decades. The BLM says it's due to land degradation by horses. But their own internal data states it's due to cattle grazing. The cause is not to feed us horse meat, but rather cow meat.

🐒 Scholars have drawn parallels between colonization of lands & people & the practice of holding wild animals captive as it reflects patterns of domination, control & exploitation that exist in captivity. Captivity ≠ conservation. Animals are bred to conserve zoo collections for profit & relevancy.
