We live for the pack.
We play we run
We rest together,
When our day is done.
When one of us is ill,
We pick up the slack,
Bringing food and comfort
Until good health comes back.
We chase our prey,
We have to eat.
We do this to survive,
No easy feat.
But love we do and
Care for our own
If you are born into
Our pack
You are never alone.

 We share this earth 

We eat what you discard 

Our lives are short

And very hard

Please be kind 

Do your best

We are deserving

Of love 

And we are not 

Pests 

❤️🪶🐦🙏🏼🐦🪶❤️

January 24th is change a pet’s life day

To love and be loved

There is nothing as good or greater

Than all of the above
❤️❤️❤️❤️

January 5th is national bird day!

They swoop.

They soar.

Some stay on the floor.

They feather earth’s nest, birds are the best!!

#NationalBirdDay

Birds are god’s angels on earth 🌎

Can we?

Can we walk this path in harmony

As this world was meant to be

Can we stay on focused on this trail

And never let our hopes derail

BUSTED BY HIDDEN CAMERAS: The Biggest Turkey Farm Investigation I’ve EVER Done (2023)

Source Joey Carbstrong, YouTube

We spent over a month investigating and putting this together to expose the reality of Turkey farming in the UK, a country that claims to have some of the highest welfare standards in the world. Please watch to the end to see every aspect of our investigation and please share with as many people as you can. Without your help sharing this around, then no one will ever see what is done behind closed doors. Thank you to every single one of you who help to raise awareness for the plight of these animals.

One of These Things Is Not Like the Other

If your god demands unrelenting suffering and death, maybe you should invent another god NOT offended by nonviolence and least harm…

I will add that the above is not an anomaly, it is the “standard of care” animals are forced to endure globally. The people who defend violence against animals, deceptively using preformatted lies of “humane, welfare, highest welfare, grassfed, cage-free, blahblahblah”, are the same people who demand animals violently die following brief existences of suffering using spin created by public relations who want you to ask yourself, “Who WOULDN’T be happy to be treated humanely with infections, tumors, disease, squalor, pain, suffering, terrifying death, and violent carers?”

If you find yourself relentlessly defending violence, rather than defending animals, you’re the militant, extreme proponent of animal suffering.

Vegans don’t desperately need preformatted “validations” to describe deliberate violence inflicted on animals yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Vegans don’t use methods of violence, tools of terror, or weapons of death to control the most innocent of beings who are treated worse than the world’s most violent murderers and pedophiles.

Vegans don’t mock violence and suffering. 

Vegans don’t celebrate bloodshed and horror.

Vegans don’t lie, gaslight, deceive, conceal, or trivialize to defend violence against animals.

Vegans aren’t in a cult, we left it. 

Happy Holidays!

(Oh, and vegans don’t harvest crops; nonvegans – who don’t care about animals – do, but then blame vegans for crop deaths.)

Friends not food!!!

Mist

to those once with us,

who no longer remain,

we feel your loss,

and it causes pain.

but we know you are

in a place of peace,

with others, just like you,

whose troubles have ceased.

your tenure on earth

with us never enough,

yes we go on,

but at times it is rough.

December 4 is international cheetah day

Speed, beauty, grace,
Intelligence,
A world without cheetahs
Would make no sense!
Every day is world cheetah day!

Watch this brief documentary and listen to slaughterhouse employees who used to “kill for a living”. I provided some quotes below in response to people who want to pretend that slaughterhouses are nice places where humane considerations are practiced. They’re not. It’s a SLAUGHTERHOUSE where defenseless, vulnerable animals go to die, where the goal is DEATH and since the goal is DEATH, nobody actually cares about animal lives or their fear and pain. Even the most “textbook” death is the destruction of life in a place called Hell.

Imagine your dog or cat going to one and then argue against the fact that nothing good happens in a slaughterhouse; it’s exhausting trying to convince people that a place, designed for death, using barbaric machines and mechanisms of death, is not “humane”. And FYI, it’s really not even called “Humane Slaughter”. It’s actually called Methods of Humane Slaughter because slaughter is NOT “humane” but it’s easier to convince people to focus on, for example, “stunning” methods rather than violent death. (Stunning using captive bolt, by the way, which has a high failure rate here and here and stunning using CO2 in UK, proven to cause extreme pain and suffering and also used in USA.)

None of which describes the horrors animals are required to experience BEFORE violent killing: mutilation, violation, assault, fear, separation of child and mother, mockery, abuse, confinement, and pain.

And for the people who think that the “observed” violations (do note that just in the USA, BILLIONS of animals are forced to die yearly, how many are actually “observed”?) penalized by a stern letter proves the “system works”, remember: even ONE torturous death proves the “system” DOESN’T work.

Why? Because people don’t care that it doesn’t, they just want to pretend that nice words describing acts of violence make it okay.

Imagine being an animal having to actually experience your “euphemisms”. SL

In this short Surge documentary, released on #WorldVeganDay, we meet Doug, Susane and Carl, ex-slaughterhouse workers from the UK, Mexico and New Zealand. Each share their experiences working in the business of killing animals and shine a light on an industry that exists in the shadows of society.

In 1906, the author Upton Sinclair released his novel The Jungle. The book, which became an international bestseller, is a fictionalised account of Sinclair’s experiences interviewing slaughterhouse workers and researching the conditions that they were working in. In the novel, Sinclair describes the workers becoming so desensitised to violence that the number of brawls, rapes and murder began to rise: “There is but scant account kept of cracked heads in back of the [stock] yards, for men who have to crack the heads of animals all day seem to get into the habit, and to practice on their friends, and even on their families, between times.” The reality is, we expect people who spend every working day repetitively stabbing chickens, pigs, cows and lambs to hang up their bloody aprons at the end of the day and then just integrate back into normal society.

Slaughtering animals is an inherently violent thing to do and the emotional burden of doing so day after day is not something that can shrugged off lightly.

Quotes:

The animals know, they literally know, the evidence is clear to anyone that witnesses them, that they’re abt to die.

Most of them were very, very frightened, terrified even.

There are 3 possible responses to when an animal is about to be killed:

1. Fear, they’ll be trembling, cowering, & trying to hide

2.Trying to flee, run away

3. Fight to survive

They (animals trying to not die) will frustrate, annoy a worker at the wrong time on the wrong day, & quite often you’d see someone hitting the animal inappropriately – not that there is an appropriate way to hitting an animal – but using the bolt gun on parts of the body that they shouldn’t, shooting them in the back instead of brain, electrocuting them in the wrong place such as their testicles.

I saw a lamb escape from the kill floor, who had run around fully conscious & aware, panicking, the smells would have been horrific, the blood, seeing dead bodies … and all the people were laughing.

There was absolutely no guideline, nobody said, “Oh, you’re not supposed to do this to the chicken or you’re not supposed to kick them, you’re not supposed to treat them this way, the guideline was to get the job done.”

The most disturbing thing I saw was when animals weren’t stunned properly, they died horrible deaths, a lot of them regained consciousness just prior to having their throats cut, this was quite common.

Stunning would be missed so a pig would have his throat cut, or both (stunning & sticking) would be missed, which would be where the screams come from, and gone into the boiling tank fully conscious.

Humans create excuses as sustenance
To cling to and justify their ignorance
Erecting a tower of disingenuous babble
As into their cruelties they
Heartlessly dabble

October 27th is national black cat 🐈‍⬛ day 

 The autumn  leaf palette beautiful and bold 

Reds greens burnished gold

Such loveliness never grows old 

In this magnificent nature hack

Let’s celebrate the beauty of  we

Kitty cats black  

Sleek with an aura of mystery 

and a sad  history 

Of being feared, and adopted last 

Now is the time to put that 

Past 

To rest 

All cats are beautiful   

But we black cats are 

The best ❤️🐈‍⬛❤️
