This is a real thing. I pointed out to someone who’s a genuine lefty that animal “agriculture” uses more water than data centers & I could see their eye roll through the phone.

My Aunt Margot was a secretary for 30 years at ITT Gilfillan in Los Angeles. She told me that she accidentally typed a letter for her boss, a Mr. Whitehead, and typed his name at the bottom as “Shithead.” Freudian slip? She couldn’t stop laughing about it.

Your posts are devastating to me. I never have the right words to respond to such unnecessary cruelty and suffering but if they change even one person’s perceptions about animal “agriculture,” then seeing the photos is worth it. Thank you for caring so much.

Theater of the Absurd is being staged in every government agency. What an existential joke this administration is.

The mask that guy’s wearing is creepy, but his comment that pigs “make eye contact with you” is chilling.

DJT removed federal protections for Nat’l Parks, eliminated clean energy projects, slashed investment in EV, blocked enforcement of environmental protection laws, softened emission standards, bailed out big coal, stopped grants for NOAA. Now he turns his gross head to see what else he can ruin.

Thanks for not correcting my bad grammar, and to add to your comment — I love all the British slang - although I’ll never be able to use profane language with such charm.

This is weird. I just finished the last episode of “After Life” last night (cried!) and this post appears. First, brilliant freaking show. Second, adding “Alley Cats” to my must-see list. Me and my two former alley panthers will watch.Cheers!

My rescues are one house panther named D’Arcy and one gray wizard named Dante who was 50% off at the shelter about a dozen years ago.

The industry cannot be defended on any level; we don’t need another species’ milk. I’m rather sick of the “I can’t give up cheese” argument. You can give up anything if you care enough.

I was in the area recently, and everywhere I went there were people fighting the regime to save this magic land.

Like prohibition, if you hate something bigly enough and you ban it, people will walk over nails to get themselves some woke battle & sex scenes. Next thing you know, people will start secretly making themselves some DEI hooch in their backyard stills.

In addition to your article, I recommend Balcombe’s book “What a Fish Knows.” I love this quote: “What we know about fishes is only a tiny slice of what they know.”

For every cruel person there often seems to be someone out there to counteract that cruelty with compassion and love. Thank you Niall Harbison.

If you purity tested everyone, I’m not sure we’d have any candidates. I wish he’d never had a Nazi tattoo or shite-posted his bigotry on Reddit, but it’s him or Susan “I’m concerned” Collins, right? I’m not in Maine, but I’d take Platner’s apologies (sincere or not) over a Trump apologist.

Reminds me of this old saying, “If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it’ll live its life believing itself stupid.” The fact is that animals are smarter/better than us in so many ways.

I’m still banging the drum for May Day, which is tomorrow (Friday) where I live. Please help send a message to the rich exploiters and don’t shop! If you can help by not working that’s great, but not everyone can do that.

May Day is this coming Friday. Please spread the word & don’t give the billionaires your money. Call attention to the rights of workers. If you can, please join a “no work, no school, no shopping" protest near you.

The decision to stop funding these corporate behemoths, who only care about profit size, should happen every day — but at the very least please stop feeding these monsters on May 1st. I want so much to have these companies feel the power of the people.

I read the book, and Bufkinite is correct that it argues that plants are sentient. I’m not studied enough to advocate a position, but we don’t torture plants in the same way we do “farmed” animals. I’m vegan, and I do realize that things have to die so I can live. I’ve chosen the less cruel path.

The subtitle puts me in mind of Sophie, in Styron’s “Sophie’s Choice,” whose love for Schubert’s joyful “Trout Quintet,”is in direct opposition to the horror of her Auschwitz experiences. At the end, it’s Bach’s “Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring” that she listens to. I was sobbing. Thanks for posting!

Clearly, Magyar is a prime minister with terrific qualities, who appreciates furry animals that value independence, curiosity, and knocking stuff over. Excellent choice, Hungary!

In TWO WEEKS, we boycott! Pls share this info with everyone you know: “On May 1, 2026, workers, students, and families rally, march, and take action across the country to demand a nation that puts workers over billionaires. No School. No Work. No Shopping.” Post and re-post. #Indivisible

Marc’s post reminded me of a podcast about why we torture sheep, cows, pigs, chickens, & goats in particular instead of other animals. It’s that they are so relatively trusting and docile. Basically, we hurt the sweethearts of the animal kingdom. It’s why labs use beagles. It hurts to think about.

Honest to God, how can anybody get anything across when they’re constantly interrupted as Buttigieg is here by these people. The fact that he does, somehow, make them look the fools is a minor miracle. This is why I can’t watch TV “news.”

I feel this message is not getting out, so please share this info with everyone you know: “On May 1, 2026, workers, students, and families rally, march, and take action across the country to demand a nation that puts workers over billionaires. No School. No Work. No Shopping.” Post and re-post.

When something awful happens, people often say, “Oh, I can’t imagine,” but it’s absolutely necessary, I think, to imagine what the conditions mentioned in this video might be like for animals. Imagine it. Feel it.

He gave no thought to the stock market OR gas prices before launching the missiles, one of which killed nearly 200 schoolchildren and their teachers. He gave no thought to anything, because his brain is an addled mashup of TV scenes, gilded ballrooms, and self-love.

This article is a sad commentary on politicians that care more about votes than their own principles.
