It’s entirely possible to embrace views that you weren’t brought up with. It’s entirely possible to break from conditioning that taught you to accept needless violence. It’s entirely possible to live a life based upon compassion rather than remorseless self-gratification We are #OneBillionScreams

You reduce us, our lives, our plight & the violence you commit upon us to abstraction, to vague, barely considered ideas, so you may consume the products of our extreme abuse with impunity, without consequence, without questioning the immoral nature of your actions. We are #OneBillionScreams

A world where violence & killing is legal, where cruelty is normalised, ignored, endorsed & demanded by the majority, is condemned to be a world where violence, war, dehumanisation & atrocities will never be marginal phenomena. We are #OneBillionScreams

Who are you but the callous beneficiary of violence, the cold hearted consumer of cruelty, the merciless participant in systematic brutality? Who are you but the murderer of infants, the defiler of life & denier of compassion? Who are you but an accomplice in atrocities? We are #OneBillionScreams

whatever that electric thing is, we can be sure the piglet will suffer from it while the abuser couldn’t possibly care any less.

If everyone else wasn’t paying for us vulnerable, defenceless individuals to be violently exploited & killed for your nonessential ends, I wonder whether you’d still believe it was morally acceptable. Our vile abuse only continues because people are unthinking conformists We are #OneBillionScreams

Given your heartless indifference to our plight, given that you believe us undeserving of moral consideration or compassion, given that you think you have the right to violently abuse us, we would be foolish not to cower before you. You are empathy devoid demons to us We are #OneBillionScreams .

It’s all just so WRONG 😡

🧵1/2 Who do you think controls the narrative? We who are subjected to extreme, gratuitous violence & a brutal death at a fraction of our potential age, or those who stand to gain from our cruel abuse? Who do you listen to, victims of violence or their abusers? We are #OneBillionScreams

When animal use is treated as personal freedom, even mild criticism feels like oppression.

Because you’ve already succumbed to the vile notion that it’s okay to confine, violently exploit & kill me, you retrospectively invent excuses to reason from that specious conditioned belief, rather than use dialectic & ethical reasoning to reach an informed conclusion. We are #OneBillionScreams

This is dairy 💔 🥛 🩸#OneBillionScreams

If your eyelashes are made of mink, you're wearing fur. 🎬 PETA

Aren’t you ever deeply embarrassed by the fictions you have to pretend to believe? That violently exploiting & murdering us sentient individuals is “humane”? That your voluntary choice to be complicit in the needless violence inflicted on us is an immutable fact of life? We are #OneBillionScreams

As we decide whether to support these industries through our votes 🗳️, our subsidies 💰 , our laws and our consumption choices, first we must truly understand them. This video is essential viewing.

Who knew? The anti #SeedOil #MAHA wellness conspiracists were just grifting again to get you to buy their untested supplements and even more animal exploitation products. Such a shock they can’t be trusted 🤯 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

You oppress, confine, mutilate, sexually violate & murder us but we resist, we fight back & we rage against your tyranny. In callousness you choose to ignore us or pretend we don’t suffer or that our plight is insignificant. We are political animals. We will be heard. We are #OneBillionScreams

You build your society upon violence, upon our abject pain, suffering & deaths. Your mindless pursuit of self-gratification ensures our blood eternally flows in rivers & our corpses pile high in your wake & yet you still have the effrontery to consider yourself civilised We are #OneBillionScreams

Eternally, we are force bred to be violently abused & killed for your nonessential purposes. But because it’s socially sanctioned & legal, most of you opt out of critical ethical thinking so you can sidestep the moral implications of your obsequious, mindless conformism. We are #OneBillionScreams

‘without having to see the terror, pain & anguish of their infant victims’ 💯 ☹️

Look at that innocent baby’s eye and tell me again how it’s too hard to make kinder choices in the grocery store

A test of character: Imagine if you were judged solely upon your attitude towards & treatment of us fellow animals. Judged only upon your willing complicity in the wanton, needless extreme violence you eternally inflict upon us. Ew, not a good look, eh? We are #OneBillionScreams

If you pay someone else to kill, the blood is still on your hands. Just as someone who hires a hit make to kill a human is guilty of murder, so too is the person who buys animal body parts as they’ve effectively hired a hit man to kill that animal.

#OneBillionScreams Are you *really a ‘radical leftist’, or are you still ignoring this disturbingly ignored and perpetual #holocaust? Every. Single. Day.👇🏻

You may think that you remain unsullied if someone else inflicts the cruelty upon us for you, but you’re wildly deluded. You cause the violence, you inflict the cruelty, you slash our throats. It’s your unthinking, selfish choice to desecrate our young lives. We are #OneBillionScreams

Difficult truths can make us uncomfortable. For example: The overwhelming majority of people who claim to be intelligent & to be on the side of social justice willingly & unthinkingly participate in indefensible systems of extreme domination & egregious violence. We are #OneBillionScreams

The Death Industry spends billions to ensure their propaganda is never challenged, to buy politicians and make sure people can’t see the horrors of factory farms, to hide the carbon footprint of their practices, and to mock those who object to the torture and slaughter of innocents.

So, where do you land? Are you vegan or [do you believe what is untrue, or do you refuse to believe what is true]? animalclock.org

If you possess even just a scrap of decency, then the only way to continue your participation in the systematic violent abuse of fellow animals is to be fooled. Either you believe what is untrue, or you refuse to believe what is true. We are #OneBillionScreams

The conceit & arrogance involved in believing that you have the right to quantify the value of a life or decide their purpose or fate is flagrantly egomaniacal. A life is the sole sovereignty of the individual living it & they undeniably value their life. We are #OneBillionScreams

Your values, your morals & your laws are cheap, mendacious bullshit if they exclude some from their scope. If those of us outside of their remit are denied the very principles & protection you revere, then they’re merely just the self serving tools of violent tyranny. We are #OneBillionScreams

Torn from our mothers & considered worthless by those who force bred us into existence, weighed down by the chains of impotence & fear, we await our own brutal death at the hands of our icy hearted killers whilst you beneficiaries of violence lick your empathy devoid lips We are #OneBillionScreams

You continue to be the reason that 100s of billions of us are force bred into violent exploitation before a merciless death. Not because it is ethical or justified, but because you can do so with impunity; your overt, stone hearted selfishness is socially sanctioned. We are #OneBillionScreams

Honestly.... If you did the research behind the screen that big agriculture use to hoodwink you, the horrific cruelty of what you eat is off the scale. I don't mean to preach, just merely asking you to think 🙏 We can choose kindness 😊

You love animals? You love them so much that you pay for them to be sexually violated to force breed ever more of them into a life of confinement, incarceration & mutilation, only to be ultimately murdered at a fraction of their potential lifespan? Could you be more full of shit?

So fettered by convention, so easily indoctrinated, so obedient to social norms, so resistant to anything beyond our own shitty belief systems, so unwilling to critically engage with our ethical choices, we continue to inflict incalculable suffering upon the undeserving. We are #OneBillionScreams

🚫 Legality ≠ Morality 🚫 #AnimalExploitation The horrific injustice all nonVegans are guilty of participating in

The one form of social injustice that you dismiss & don’t want to talk about is coincidentally the one you participate in; violent exploitation of nonhuman animals. All claims to moral decency evaporate the moment they interfere with your pursuit of self-gratification. We are #OneBillionScreams

#ethics #philosophy #AnimalRights SPECIESISM: [treating members of one species as morally more important than members of other species; also, the belief that this practice is justified] CARNISM: [the invisible, dominant belief system, or ideology, that conditions people to eat certain animals]

Bravo for limiting meat consumption! I’ve done quite a bit of research and from everything I’ve read we can get all the protein we need from plants. If you haven’t already seen it you might be interested in watching Forks Over Knives. I found it quite informative. www.forksoverknives.com/the-film/

If everyone truly lived their values, and if everyone who wanted to use anything from an animal had to do ALL the dirty work themselves, the animal agriculture industry would be out of business.

If we outsource our ethical values to conform with majority approval, rather than using our critical thinking skills and moral agency, then we’re just unthinking, obsequious conformists. Our cowardly obedience is their eternal misery, pain & death. We are #OneBillionScreams

Are you comfortable with being too gutless, too lacking in courage to imagine the agonising torment of being confined so tightly that you cannot move for your entire life, or hearing the death screams of your compatriots, knowing that you too will be brutally murdered? We are #OneBillionScreams

Our current situation is precisely this - non stop griping about abuses of power, when in reality our society runs on just that - total domination of the vulnerable, complete disregard for how our wants affect others Until one’s willing to cease participation in this wickedly unfair system, maybe 🤐

Given that you wilfully ignore the gratuitous, indefensible violence eternally inflicted upon 100s of billions of us fellow sentient individuals for your nonessential ends, how the fuck do you believe that you’ve the right to criticise anyone else’s actions or behaviour? We are #OneBillionScreams
