A complex time of year for #EthicalVegans 😔 Sorrow & suffering are at the centre of many "celebrations". The remains of animals, who only wanted to live, fill fridges & ovens. Their misery fills dinner plates & stomachs 🦃🐖🐟🦆 They cried unheard 😢 That weighs heavy 💔 We send love & solidarity 🤗✊

🎄 #FARSAdventCalendar2025 🎄 DAY 23 #FaithSheep #HopeSheep #JoySheep Faith will forever be a mum to her 2 sweet babies, Hope & Joy, even though they're all grown up now 💖 And they will always look to her for love, comfort & reassurance 🤗 The bond is strong 🥰 Sanctuaries keep families together 🙏

A very happy #Pigmas from Annie and Sasha 🎄🐷🎄 Forgot to buy a present for your favourite #vegan then give them the best present money can buy. Help to care for 99+ pigs rescued from a slaughterhouse, a vegan dream come true 🎅🐷💚
