Who knew that cows (like this rescued one named Ma at Eastern Sanctuary) LOVE eating watermelon?! 🥲🍉✨

How does this make you feel? 😡

I met Sparkle at Feathery Forest and she MELTED MY HEART. What a wonderful ambassador to encourage people to be kinder to animals, particularly through their food choices. 🧡

In 2025, my pro-animal posts were seen 50 million times. 🫡 I dislike asking for donations but it’s end of the year when most folks donate, so I must. 😌 Donate $5 monthly: donorbox.org/JohnOberg. Or, msg me for a tax-deductible option. TYSM! 🙏🏼

Cheers to everyone who supports my work for animals on social media & beyond. If you'd like to become a supporter, it would mean a lot to me. www.patreon.com/johnoberg [This is me and Charlie at @lifewithpigs.bsky.social]

WOW: This cow figured out how to unlock herself. She then proceeded to unlock her fellow cows in order to reach the food she couldn't get to. 🤯 Farm animals are SO much more intelligent than they’re given credit for. 🐄🧠🙌

I make a concerted effort to reach *everyone* while alienating just about *no one*. This kind of pragmatism may be less likely to break the internet, but it's significantly more likely to actually create the kind of world for animals that I want to see.

Beak cutting is routine, not rare. Her #suffering is hidden behind every #egg. You pay for this pain. Rethink your choices.

Cruel confinement like this is not only *legal* in most places around the world, it's also the *normal* standard practice in animal agriculture. If this makes you sick to your stomach, consider skipping this #Christmas ham and embracing #veganuary next month.

This is your call to action. On #ChristmasEve and every day of the year, choose compassion. Choose #vegan. 💥🐾

2025 was a huge year for my animal advocacy. 🧡 Every win here exists because of the people who support my work in so many ways. 🙏🏼 If you’d like to make 2026 even bigger for animals, donate here: Donorbox.org/JohnOberg (tax-deductible option at the link in my bio). Thank you. 🫶🏼

This is a #pig literally losing her mind after being confined to a space so small, she can't even turn around... for MONTHS on end. 😡 Pigs are smarter than dogs, yet face THIS cruelty. Animal ag is a horror show for farm animals. 😩

Compassion is inside ALL of us. 🧡

The Egg Industry throws live male chicks away into literal trash bins. Why? Because they don't lay #eggs or grow fast enough to be used for #meat, they're discarded into massive piles of thousands of live birds... literally like TRASH. Do you agree that we must #EndChickCulling?

I'm #vegan because I'd never intentionally harm them. 🧡

If you look directly into the eyes of a rescued sheep, you will NEVER eat an animal again. 🧡 [Huckleberry and me at lifewithpigs.bsky.social]

I took this photo inside a slaughterhouse truck to show the aftermath when a truck has finished transporting farm animals hundreds (or thousands) of miles. You can almost smell the fear and terror these animals endured. 💔

Lobsters can't go into shock, which means that they feel every bit of pain when they're boiled alive. 😱 Fight this cruelty with me by retweeting & signing this petition. ✊ animallawfoundation.org/crustaceans-...

Vegan #pizza is my love language. 🌱🍕

Ten years ago today was the worst day of my life. It’s the day I lost the most important person in my life: My mom. Her heart was truly made of gold. Momma Ö deserves a spotlight today on this somber milestone. Please think of her today, her legacy of compassion, and the fragility of life. 🧡

This is the *only* way to have a #turkey on #Thanksgiving. 🦃🧡 lifewithpigs.bsky.social

This is the *only* way a #turkey should be treated this #Thanksgiving. Don't you agree with me? 🦃🧡

In case you didn't know the origins of #gelatin... 🤮

"Grass fed" does NOT mean what you think it means. 😡 #HumaneWashing

The love I'm showing Charlie the rescued #turkey is the *only* way a turkey should be treated this #Thanksgiving. 🦃🧡 lifewithpigs.bsky.social

"Don't breed or buy while homeless animals die." 💔💔💔

This just broke me. 😢💔

This horrific device is called a "spiked muzzle" and it is used in animal agriculture. It's designed to be so painful for the mother cow that she'll push her baby away to avoid the pain. An example of how farm animals are mistreated in today’s cruel, industrial food system. 💔

The cruelty in Europe on Animals Farms are unacceptable 🤬 So much cruelty going on you hardly can believe it so pls help 🙏🏼

MASSIVE opportunity to help animals: The European Commission -- @ec.europa.eu -- wants to hear from the public about whether they should ban animal cruelty to farm animals. I’m using #MyVoiceForAnimals. Will you join me? act.animainternational.org?utm_source=t...

What made you stop eating animals? It was witnessing farm animal abuse in a documentary called #Earthlings that made me go #vegan in 2009, as I discussed here at the #InternationalAnimalRightsConference in Luxembourg. 🧡

Debeaking is ROUTINE in the #egg industry. Literally slicing off their beaks without painkillers! 😱 I'll never eat #eggs again!

The bright colors and beauty of produce (🫐🍌🍑🍏🥭) > The drab, grim shades of animal products (🥩🍗🥓)

I’ve seen the future, and it is #vegan. 🔮🌱 #WorldVeganDay

This is no #Halloween prank -- This foam literally is designed to suffocate and kill these poor birds in a brutal fashion. And NO ONE is speaking out against this madness. 🤯 #meat #truth

The Cow Carrot Drive-Thru is open! And this week we have a special guest server, our good friend John Oberg . We love having him come to visit and since Mallory and I had built up vacation at the drive thru, we thought he’d make a perfect server to replace us for the day. @johnoberg.bsky.social

We teach children to love and protect some babies, while at the same time teaching them to eat the babies of other species. What message are we really passing on?! 🤨 [Art: Dana Ellyn]

The pig is SMILING! ☺️ Like if you agree that we shouldn't eat babies like them! 🧡

"Don't just be sorry. Do something." -The animals

Would've been my mom's birthday today. Sadly, she left this world a decade ago, but her spirit and deep love for animals will always remain with me. 🧡

HUGE: Poland has voted 339 to 78 to ban #FurFarming! This bill will end the suffering for millions of animals who are bred for their #fur (like here). 🥹 It now just needs Senate & Presidential approval. Congrats to @otwarteklatki.bsky.social for their advocacy on this. Massive step for animals. 🧡

I filmed this pig staring at me he arrived at a slaughterhouse. His eyes. The fear. The terror. 💔 Don't let his death be in vain.

Proof that animals are TOO SWEET TO EAT. 🧡

See this boring building? 30,000 pigs are slaughtered at this North Carolina facility EVERY SINGLE DAY. One pig every THREE SECONDS. 🤯 RT if you agree that something went wrong along the way when we started looking at animals as nothing but commodities. 😡

I recently had a #vegan Cuban torta from Gatorta in Mexico City. This just might make you second-guess any previous beliefs you had about plant-based food. 🤯

It’s vital that we instill a sense of compassion and respect for animals. RT if you agree! 🧡 So honored to contribute to this wonderful new book, The Ego System from René Zografos (@zokrates). 🌟

The piglet was literally BORN on a transport truck on the way to a slaughterhouse! Now, they've been rescued. 🧡

This rescued #cow jumping for joy at SASHA Farm Animal Sanctuary is exactly what you need to see today. 😍🐮 #loveALLanimals

Retweet if you agree with me that animals deserve better than the world we've created for them. 🧡

I've never seen a clearer visual that depicts the cruelty & apathy of the Meat Industry. 💔 #destroy
