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?

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

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.
