U.N. report Israel targeted children in Gaza. It strategically eliminates future generations of Palestinians. More than 20,000 children genocided. In 10-30 years, those 20,000 children could have become parents to tens of thousands more Palestinians. Israel committing preemptive ethnic cleansing.

Got news that High Quality Research/Red Beast Enterprises has ceased animal testing! Coming on the heels of Ridglan Farms rescue of 1,500 beagles. Lilly was bred at Ridglan, rescued from High Quality Research/Red Beast Enterprises after spending 1.5 years there. Strange few weeks around here.

Today's my 19 year vegan anniversary. So much changed from decision no longer harm animals for food, entertainment, clothing, personal care products. World opened in ways I never imagined, healed my heart, allowed compassion emerge for all who suffer. Veganism rewired my brain and heart.

Speciesism belief humans superior to animals - eat, wear, be entertained, experimented on, bred for pets; animals not worthy moral consideration; sentience not recognized. Similar discrimination - race/ethnicity, sex, queerness, disability, religion. Another form of evil, sanctioned by most humans.

ALF is global, leaderless, animal rights movement. Engage direct action to end animal exploitation. Liberate animals from labs, fur farms, shutting them down via economic sabotage. Target animal industries. Guideline strictly instruct members avoid harming human or non-human animals during actions.

We share 98% DNA with chimps. They don't create weapons to kill larger numbers. Highly intelligent, use complex tools, exhibit diverse social behaviors, laugh, hug, kiss. Some engage in same-sex behaviors. Sorry religious folk! We should be honored to share DNA with them, they should be horrified!

Guest model @evolotus.bsky.social! "If you love someone set them free." Vegan doesn't require ❤️ing animals, just leaving them alone. “The animals of the world exist 4 their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made 4 white, or women created 4 men.” Alice Walker

EARTHLINGS, the OG "vegan maker" documentary released 2005. Told in 5 chapters - pets, food, clothing, entertainment, scientific research. Narrated Joaquin Phoenix music Moby directed Shaun Monson. We did PR for EARTHLINGS way back when. It will go down as classic in the animal liberation world.

@anitakrajnc.bsky.social started a global movement. @animalsave58.bsky.social - citizens hold vigils for animal victims at slaughterhouses. Vigils are powerful, bearing witness has value. Acknowledging animals driven to slaughter, you're likely only human to show them compassion, kindness and love.

W's "War on Terror" moniker used by activists who rescue animals from places of torture. Terror is pouring chemicals into eyes, stereotaxic devices - stainless steel, vise-like contraptions hold animal's head in place, restraint chairs, carbon dioxide chambers, shock cages. The real war of terror!

I was wearing this shirt at farmer's market. A human, who looked like Michael Pollan, approached to say how much he loved it. Eating is more complex than putting calories into your body. Food choices affect animals, planet, health. Make choices as if you give a damn, spare animals from violence.

Farmed animal sanctuaries rescue abused cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, goats, sheep and others. They provide lifetime care and rehabilitation. About 1,500 sanctuaries in U.S. Not nearly enough. They educate on violence inherent in meat, dairy, egg production. And promote a vegan diet and lifestyle.

The truth of the matter is veganism gives us many gifts, one such gift is gaining a sense of inner peace by being in alignment with values of compassion, love, nonviolence, fairness, justice. As one makes choices to abstain from eating and using animals, one's world opens up in beautiful ways.

Between 200 - 250 million turkeys are slaughtered for food in U.S. every year. About 46 million turkeys are killed for Thanksgiving. 22 million for Christmas. Nearly 99 percent of these turkeys come from factory farms. They are slaughtered at 12–16 weeks old. Mere babies.

"Humane meat" is marketing nonsense make consumers feel better purchasing food is the product of violence, terror. Products come from animals raised on factory farms. Product packaging feature images of happy animals in green pastures, truth of living conditions crowded warehouses, filth, misery.

Hunting is no sport. Only one side has weapons of destruction. Wouldn't it be nice to arm animals so they had a fighting chance? Canned hunting - trophy hunt where animals are kept in confined areas like fenced ranch to prevent their escape, make tracking easier for the hunter.

Very old school t-shirt. The sentiment is clear, animals do not give permission for us to kill and use their bodies. That is the definition of murder...

thinkingvegan.bsky.social @thinkingvegan.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

Non-vegans believe meat that is marked "humane" or any number of marketing slogans, go to slaughterhouses where they're treated to tea and a snack before being led to a mattress where they're given a pill that makes them sleep. All slaughterhouses are brutal, bloody and violent.

Every strip of bacon, slice of ham, came from a mother - pigs are killed at 6 months of age, you're eating a baby. Gestation crates lock pregnant sows for 4 months, while farrowing crates hold them during birth. These cause severe physical/mental distress, restrict natural behaviors. Cruelty.

Funny how non-vegans claim "their" meat, dairy, eggs come from small farms where animals are loved & never die. In the U.S., 99% of poultry & pork comes from factory farms - 99.9% of broiler chickens, 99.8% of turkeys, 98.3–98.6% of pigs. More than 99% of all U.S. livestock are factory-farmed.

This hip cat knows one cannot be a meat eating environmentalist. Livestock production 14-18% global greenhouse gas emissions. 67% agricultural land grown feed for livestock, 8% grown for human consumption. Deforestation (75% grazing/feed), intense water consumption (1,800 gallons 1 lb beef).

thinkingvegan.bsky.social @thinkingvegan.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

Meat (dairy,eggs) is disgusting. Meat is decomposing flesh of an animal killed against their will. One needs to refrigerate/freeze meat returning from store, cook met at high temperature to kill any bacteria like Salmonella, so the meat does not kill you. That is quite disgusting. And dangerous.

1.4 billion animals are killed in leather industry annually for their skins - cows, sheep, goats. 20 million animals are killed annually for fur. About 672 million animals - Merino sheep, goats, alpacas are used for wool. After wool production declines, they're slaughtered.

thinkingvegan.bsky.social @thinkingvegan.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

Posting old school animal rights t-shirts. Why? Suffering is suffering. 85 billion land animals, trillions of fishes are slaughtered yearly globally for food - doesn't count animals tortured for clothing, entertainment, so called testing.

It's not enough to extend compassion towards fellow humans. Nonhuman animals suffer deeply, precisely due to humans. Compassion asks us to push through speciesism and recognize ourselves in all sentient beings. Ceasing to use and eat animals will bring us closer to the peace we envision.

Would like to rewrite “A Christmas Carol.” The main character is visited by the ghosts of animals past that he played a role in killing for food, clothing and entertainment. At the end, he realizes the ethical choice is to go vegan. The animal ghosts congratulate him, move on to next nonvegan.

All individuals desire to live. It’s built into sentient being’s DNA. It’s more than just instinct. Taking away an individual’s right to life is unethical. Therefore, the ethical choice is vegan.

I'm posting my opinion piece I wrote two months ago that @commondreams.org published. "How Many Dead Palestinian Children Are Enough?," is what I asked then. Sadly, the numbers continue to grow without an end in sight.

Today is Gabe's birthday. He's four, same as Lilly. And they're still lovebirds. Gabe struggles with fear and anxiety, car rides, people, life, but he's the sweetest, most handsome and special boy. If you'd like to wish Gabe birthday wishes, I will pass them along.
