Anyway, people don’t like changing their minds, especially about something that’s inconvenient to them. The “food miles matters the most for climate” myth is hard to dislodge.

Well done report 👇 Missing an interesting fact that this ostrich farm was previously vaccinating the animals against COVID Upsetting that they are restocking with more ostriches - and that there is no pro-active screening for influenza on ostrich, poultry, or pig farms

Rats are stubborn, clever, & remarkably adaptable. They learn fast, cooperate with one another, avoid danger, and keep going under conditions that wipe out other species. They’ll even free trapped companions and choose to help another rat over receiving chocolate.

This is upsetting 1) each voice is equal - ok - but huge imbalance in the number of industry voices vs welfare voices 2) worrisome that welfare groups like @humanecanada.ca approve things like keeping foxes in small wire cages and killing them with anal electrocution 3) why not make laws instead?

We all share this beautiful planet. It's up to all of us to fight back against those who want to cause it harm. We'll never stop fighting for #wildlife and wild places: No matter who is in office, no matter what the odds are against us all. The stakes are just too high. Join us ➡️ bit.ly/4nprZr6

The science of lab-grown meat has made striking advancements, resulting in a technology that has the potential to fundamentally change how humans eat and produce food.

💯 - and, if you want to prevent pandemics - reduce and stop eating animals - especially chickens and pigs - more killing is often our answer for outbreaks in wild animals that we help create as well (consider CWD, moose affected by ticks, etc...)

First we spread BSE by feeding cows parts of dead cows Now we are spreading a similar fatal brain disease by farming wild deer in pens and shooting them

Cow Tools! We have lived alongside cows for nearly 10,000 years. We breed them and exploit them It is now, only now, that we have discovered THEY CAN USE TOOLS Here I describe our study (paper) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... in @currentbiology.bsky.social with @auersperga.bsky.social

Almost all livestock in the United States is factory-farmed— It’s difficult to quantify animal suffering in a single number, but one metric often used to measure living conditions is the number of animals raised on “factory farms”.

Most of us are against causing unnecessary harm to animals Repeatedly impregnating them, taking away their newborns and then milking them with machines This animal farming is unnecessary, hurts the animals, the scale hurts the planet- and is one of the most pressing moral justice issue of our time

This video will probably get fewer likes than my posts on taxing billionaires. That difference says it all. Factory farming only survives if we don’t look. It’s time to hold these companies accountable. Every donation is matched, so $1 becomes $2 through Dec 31, 2025. Donate: MoralAmbition.org/food

Horrific details emerging from El Fasher, Sudan: pools of blood so large they’re visible by satellite, people being killed systematically. Last week, MSF teams assessed 165 children under 5 fleeing the area and found 75% were acutely malnourished. An accelerating genocide before our eyes.

I joined advocates outside the PMO to say this clearly: no cuts to foreign aid. Carney promised it—keep it. Protect and expand Canada’s support for the Global Fund to fight HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria. Canada must lead, not retreat. Lives are at stake.#cdnpoli @ResultsCda.bsky.social
