Piglet thumping is a widespread practice that kills weak or injured piglets. It’s a brutal method—delivering blunt force trauma to end a life—that comes with a great risk of error and inconsistency. Will you add your name against this practice? thl.link/48932vB

Congratulations on your campaign victory @thehumaneleagueus.bsky.social and all the activists who were involved with securing Subway's new 100% cage-free egg commitment!! If you turn up for the #FastActionNetwork you occasionally get moments like this! 🌟 www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwNt...

Day-old chicks, sorted and thrown into crates like they're nothing more than vegetables. In the egg industry, the female chicks are debeaked, while male chicks are killed by asphyxiation or maceration since they don't lay eggs.

Animals slaughtered for food are essentially still babies when their lives are brutally ended 💔

These ducks—only 7-8 weeks old—spent their final moments in a frenzy of fear crowded together on the floor of a slaughterhouse.

Europe is leading the charge against cages 💥

Her milk is for her baby. She's a mother, not a piece of equipment.

It sounds too horrible to be true: Weak, sick, or injured piglets are killed by grabbing them by the hind legs and smashing them against concrete walls or floors. This practice is called piglet thumping, and it's legal and widespread on pig farms.

For every cow producing milk, there's a baby that was ripped away from her. Unwanted calves are shot. Calves that will grow up to be exploited for milk or slaughtered for beef or veal are kept in solitary pens. Many die of neglect.

No grass, no sun, no room to run. Factory farms are hell on Earth for the animals trapped inside them 💔 Your voice is needed in a pivotal moment for farmed animals. Take action TODAY to protect pigs: thl.link/474tRjQ 🐷

This massive cattle feedlot in Arizona confines 115,000 cows (!!!) to barren, dirt pens in scorching heat.

Eggs costed this caged hen her life 😞

This week, we gave to the #ShrimpWelfare Project, we shared #FarmKind 's Compassion Calculator, and we did some activism on @thehumaneleagueus.bsky.social 's Fast Action Network 💪 YOU ARE ALL INVITED TO GO #VEGAN2.0 WITH ME! :D

Crammed together with no room to move or rest... Living beings shouldn't be treated this way.

Ammonia from the feces of thousands of chickens stings their eyes and inflames their skin. Their body aches from their muscles growing too big, too fast. Some among them lie dead or dying from the squalid conditions.

The dairy industry impregnates cows just to exploit their motherhood for milk. A few "lucky" calves are allowed to stay with their moms, but "anti-suckling devices" are placed in their noses to stop them from drinking the milk the farm wants to sell 💔

Animals at this slaughterhouse are killed in full view of each another. On their last day of life they know nothing but pain and terror. We can and must do better—for them.

Eggs = suffering! This heartbreaking clip was taken in Spain just this year, as part of a recently launched world's largest egg investigation. It doesn't have to be this way 💔 Ditch eggs! via @thehumaneleagueus.bsky.social #eggtruth

Can you imagine the anxiety and fear pigs feel as they huddle inside overcrowded transport trucks parked outside of the slaughterhouse? These are some of their last moments alive.

As the summer heat intensifies, think of the animals enduring the high temperatures on filthy factory farms and in metal transport trucks. This pig could barely take the long, hot drive to the slaughterhouse.

An investigation by @thehumaneleagueus.bsky.social & @weanimals.bsky.social across over 35 countries exposes the shocking conditions endured by millions of egg-laying hens: "filthy, overcrowded cages, with injured birds, rotting carcasses and disease-ridden conditions." bit.ly/4ef4X2U

Four months—That's how long a mother pig is pregnant with her babies. During that time, she's subjected to extreme confinement in a gestation crate. It's so cramped that she can't even turn around.

BREAKING: We've released the largest-ever INVESTIGATION into the egg industry, with narration by Nikki Glaser. Shocking, never-before-seen footage reveals widespread cruelty happening right now all over the world. thl.link/3SWuoMO

The science is clear: crustaceans feel pain. When they're boiled alive, lobsters endure nearly three full minutes of conscious, unimaginable suffering 💔

No one deserves to be boiled alive 🦞 No one deserves to be boiled alive 🦞 No one deserves to be boiled alive 🦞 No one deserves to be boiled alive 🦞 No one deserves to be boiled alive 🦞 No one deserves to be boiled alive 🦞 #NationalLobsterDay #LobsterDay

The prison cell known as a farrowing crate that we force a mother pig to endure—litter after litter, year after year—until her nightmare of a life is ended at the slaughterhouse.

This cow had gone through year after year of pregnancy, birth, and traumatic separation from her newborn calves. Once her milk production dropped and her body could no longer be exploited for profit, she was designated as a "cull" and sent to auction.

THIS JUST IN... The town of Brookline, Massachusetts, banned the sale of foie gras (the liver of brutally force-fed ducks or geese) just last night! 🎉🎉🎉 They join California, Pittsburgh, and over a dozen countries in outlawing this inexcusable animal cruelty.

Impregnated just to have her baby dragged away after birth year after year, forced to live crowded indoors in a filthy concrete shed—how could this be anything other than cruelty?

This is piglet thumping; A baby pig is picked up by his or her back legs, and slammed head-first onto the floor. This brutal practice is not only legal; It's the pork industry's most common method of killing sick, weak, or injured piglets 💔

Our new episode drops Friday! Hear how advocates are successfully banning octopus factory farming across the US before it starts. A fascinating conversation w/ Animal Policy Alliance members Amanda Fox, Allie Taylor & Brenna Anderst about this groundbreaking campaign. @thehumaneleagueus.bsky.social

Separation between a mom and her baby is traumatic for both—but despite this, the meat and dairy industries force millions of animal mothers to bear babies just to have them torn away, year after year after year.

They're an individual with thoughts and feelings—no matter what the meat industry wants you to believe.

The unnaturally high amount of eggs hens have been bred to lay comes at a high cost—each eggshell saps calcium from their bones. The industry euphemizes the resulting severe osteoporosis as “cage layer fatigue."

We won't forget you, and we won't stop fighting for you.

A better future for all beings is possible. It's up to us to make it reality.

This single, filthy barn is packed wall-to-wall with 33,000 animals 🤯 It was their last day of life; That evening these month-old chickens were rounded up for slaughter.
