Someone told me over a plate of carcasses their life moto is "Live and Let live". 🤦🏼‍♂️ #speciesism

TIL that #GaryFrancione is a bigoted #TERF POS. #veganism #vegan #AnimalRights #speciesism #transphobia

Feeding domesticated animals is just a very profitable business that pollutes our environment. Reducing cattle herds, therefore humans eating less meat is a real solution for global warming

If eating MEAT is business as usual then why not switch to dogs and cats? At least they are less damaging to the environment

(Sarcasm intended to proove the hypocrisy point on eating meat)

2🪡 In imposing this hierarchy of animals, we also open a terrifying door to designating “some people” as less than. The relationship between #speciesism , #WhiteSupremacy and the #patriarchy is strong as all those systems operate under the belief that one group has divinely appointed control over everyone else.

Unless we begin to think of ourselves as animals co-existing in a natural environment, we can’t begin to repair the planet or the people and animals we’ve harmed in “taming” it.

A 🧵 on #AnimalRights

1🪡 I wholeheartedly reject the #4H notion of Reproducing Dominion — “the most important lesson conveyed in 4-H livestock programs” — which teaches children that certain animals are made for humans use.

Thinking about how the dominant, mostly unconscious belief is that complexity of spoken or written communication has a 1:1 relationship with sentience and intelligence.

This leads to dramatic underestimation, and frequent abuse, of those who don't speak or write, both human and non-human.

Conversely it leads to a dramatic overestimation, and frequent lauding, of those who present complex speaking or writing, both human and non-human.

“Last month, millions of intensively farmed chickens died during the record-breaking heatwave. As temperatures reached 45C, the birds were left flapping and panting as they died slowly of heat exhaustion, according to a witness.

One shed worker told The Independent that the birds were simply “left to die in the heat” and “written off” as a cost. Another worker said they were experiencing flashbacks from the “sheer scale and stink of the dead bodies” of the chickens that died. “I often find that I just suddenly start crying and shaking,” they said.”

#Carmine, also called #cochineal, is a pigment of a bright-red color obtained from the aluminium complex derived from carminic acid.

Synthetic carminic acid is complex to produce. Therefore, natural cochineal carmine is predominant on the market.

To prepare carmine, powdered scale insect bodies are boiled in an ammonia or sodium carbonate solution. #Gelatin may be added to modify the precipitation.

To obtain 1 pound of red dye, one needs 70,000 cochineal bugs.

Got some reading. I hear the section on animal testing and factory farming is pretty grim.

"Speciesism is a prejudice akin to racism and sexism."

@MartinM I watched the video and I wish to make a few points:

-She says humans and animals are not the same. That sets the stage for #speciesism.
-There are people that were in the NAZI death camps that have compared their treatment to what is done to animals, good quotes can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_analogy_in_animal_rights
-Slaves were showcased in zoos in the past (here's an example of a person being in the Bronx Zoo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ota_Benga ), look at this excellent video by Christopher Sebastian McJetters: https://youtu.be/H_ebX07H4wM
-Gary L Francione touches upon this as well when it comes to slavery and rape: https://www.abolitionistapproach.com/animal-rights-slaveryrape-analogies/
-Here is an interesting article on the link between cows milk and autism. I haven't seen the videos that he posted and he seems to have posted numerous articles/videos on the subject, so I welcome any dissent: https://nutritionfacts.org/2021/06/10/do-casomorphins-from-cows-milk-contribute-to-autism/
-I do appreciate she listed alternative organisations that are doing good for the animals, such as #Faunalytics, #TheHumaneLeague, and #GoodFoodInstitute

Overall, as the person said, PeTA are keen to make a statement, and it's true, before I had any concept of #veganism, #animalRights or knew any #vegans or what even is a #vegan, I knew who #PeTA was. And it seems like they are not apologising for any of their content, while the death and suffering of the voiceless animals continues to occur every single day.

Interessante studie.
Ik denk niet dat het een causal verband is, maar eerder een correlatie. Dus niet dat '#vlees eten #partnergeweld veroorzaakt'.
➡️Wel dat mensen die gewelddadig zijn jegens mensen, dat ook zijn jegens dieren, en omgekeerd.

@book @professorpowerbottom Well, #racism can't solve the problem with #speciesism

Otherwise half of the world would be #vegan 😆

“Animal Liberation” and “Practical Ethics” by Peter #Singer are the most influential books on #ethics for me. They made me think about #speciesism and to rethink essential ethical principles of our daily life.

After almost 50 years a full revision of “Animal Liberation” will be published, titled “Animal Liberation Now”. Can’t wait to read it.

"The animal rights movement could be a movement founded on animal potential, and the powerful emotion that stories and facts about animals can inspire in human beings. "

long and excellent read on
" #speciesism ”

"Language is a powerful tool that can be used to help the animal liberation movement. This presentation examines the ways in which #speciesism is frequently propagated in everyday speech, and explores some pragmatic and practical methods of countering this. We will look at the mechanisms of speciesist language itself, followed by specific examples of speciesist #language in action, as well as some possible alternatives."
