Sharath Prabhu (@sharzard5.bsky.social): "Heads swirling with the fumes of ammonia, we shriek in this artificially lit hell. We are political animals who resist. We are not ghosts. We are #OneBillionScreams. We are @polanimalclass.bsky.social"

You claim that murdering us for your nonessential purposes is ‘natural’, so we’re wondering why you hide & cower away from the violence inflicted upon us? Being sickened, and even traumatised by such brutality is entirely incompatible with such claims. We are @polanimalclass.bsky.social

What might we learn from a society that normalises violence & disavows & disowns innate empathy & compassion? What are the wider implications of a society built upon mercilessness, callous indifference & gratuitous cruelty? We are #OneBillionScreams We are @polanimalclass.bsky.social

We can continue to be ‘normal’, & be on the side of violence, of force breeding to kill. The side of death, injustice & tyranny. Or we can stand in solidarity with the oppressed, draw upon our integrity of character & do what is right. We are #OneBillionScreams We are @polanimalclass.bsky.social

A minimal level of decency is to recognise & honour each other’s legitimate right to life, freedom & self determination. It is to refuse to privilege our own desire for self-gratification over another’s desire to be free from violent oppression & death. We are @polanimalclass.bsky.social

If we could speak your language, what do you think we might say about your treatment of us, your refusal to consider us, your petty rationalisations & feeble excuses for the atrocities you commit upon hundreds of billions of us? We are #OneBillionScreams We are @polanimalclass.bsky.social

You constructed an oversaturation of forces, attitudes, traditions & beliefs to erase the legitimate interests of us nonhumans & render us unworthy of moral consideration. We resist, we fight, but in merciless disregard, you ignore us. We are #OneBillionScreams We are @polanimalclass.bsky.social

When you consume the end products of the exploitation of us fellow animals, you’re not only endorsing & normalising all violence, you’re also perpetuating & reinforcing eternal hierarchies of dominance, supremacy, inequality & injustice We are #OneBillionScreams We are @polanimalclass.bsky.social

Violence is intrinsic to any form of exploitation of me or any sentient animal. You cannot reform violence, oppression, suffering & death. If you oppose violence & injustice then you demand total abolition. #ThisIsMyGroundZero We are #OneBillionScreams We are @polanimalclass.bsky.social

Just like you, my life is of utmost importance to me, despite your vile perspective that sees me only in terms of utility. You may rationalise my violent abuse to soothe your conscience but that ignores the only perspective that matters; mine. We are #OneBillionScreams @polanimalclass.bsky.social

We are #OneBillionScreams We are @polanimalclass.bsky.social

If you’ve already decided it’s okay to violently exploit & kill me for your own purposes, any subsequent claim to care about me is merely a pretence, an exercise in self-deception, a lie. You’re clearly more interested in my death. We are #OneBillionScreams We are @polanimalclass.bsky.social

Relegated to the margins of your systemic speciesist empire, we scream day and night for liberation. But we are not alone. We are of a class. We will make you listen to us. We are #OneBillionScreams We are @polanimalclass.bsky.social

We scream in agony every minute. We plea for mercy. You’ve been taught to ignore our screams & pleas by merciless people who profit from our agony. What will it take to make you caring people actually care? We are #OneBillionScreams We are @polanimalclass.bsky.social

We can offer our hollow, tired excuses, but our exploitation & killing of nonhuman animals is just an exercise in the abuse power uncoupled from accountability. We enact this tyranny simply because we’re able to & they’re unable stop us We are #OneBillionScreams We are @polanimalclass.bsky.social

We are those who scream hour after hour, Day after day, to the universe, As our skin is sliced off, as our testicles are ripped out, as we are gassed. We, the wretched of your anthropocentric, capitalist dominion, Fight back. We are #OneBillionScreams We are @polanimalclass.bsky.social

We aren't after animal welfare. We aren't after even animal rights alone. We aim for a new existential-political horizon, Where animality reorders the very foundations, Around which we coalesce. We are #OneBillionScreams We are @polanimalclass.bsky.social

Not just another "animal group." A force they can't ignore. We are @polanimalclass.bsky.social
