The first form of predjudice we are all taught is SPECIESISM. From as soon as we can eat food we are being conditioned that some animals lives matter, and some do not. - Be nice to your dog! That's our pet! Show some respect. But that pig? Fuck that pigs life, cut her head off and eat her babies. - What is this arbitrary distinction based on? Absolutely nothing that is of any sense to the victim - or anyone who can see things from the victims perspective. - It's very easy to participate in atrocities when you forget the victims point to view, and it's just as easy to see everyday activities for the atrocities they truly are just by remembering the victim. - Does anyone honestly think that being brought up like this DOESN'T make it easier for us to extend that nonsensical disregard for other animals lives to other peoples lives as well? Comment below. ✌️❤️🌿
Animal agriculture produces more greenhouse gas emissions than all the cars, trains, planes, and other forms of transportation around the world combined. Plus, factory farming is responsible for 65 percent of all human-related emissions of nitrous oxide—a greenhouse gas with 296 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide, which can stay in the atmosphere for 200 years. Studies show going vegan cuts your carbon footprint in half. - The link between meat consumption and world hunger is impossible to ignore. According to a 2012 study from McGill University and the University of Minnesota, humans produce enough grain to feed the world, but we choose to feed most of it to animals just so we can eat meat. As of 2012, 95 percent of oats produced in the U.S. and 80 percent of our corn was fed to farmed animals—yet in 2015, more than 6 million U.S. households reported extremely low food security. The U.S. could feed 800 million people with the grain we feed to farmed animals, a fact established in 1997. - Animal agriculture is responsible for two-thirds of all fresh water consumption in the world today. One pound of beef requires 1,799 gallons of water to produce, a dozen eggs 636 gallons, and a gallon of cow’s milk a staggering 880 gallons. In an increasingly drought-stricken, warming world, this is a total waste. - The more I learn about all the ways animal agriculture contributes to ocean dead zones and species loss, the happier I am to be one less person contributing to the destruction of our waters. Earth’s oceans make up 90 percent of the living volume of the planet, and they’re home to more than 1 million species. Oceans also absorb up to one-third of human carbon dioxide emissions while simultaneously producing 50 percent of the oxygen we breathe. Basically, we really, really need our oceans. But according to research such as the Census of Marine Life, a decade-long international survey of ocean life completed in 2010, overfishing, climate change, and pollution are destabilizing marine environments around the globe. - These are excerpts from a @mercyforanimals article 🙏 full text: https://mercyforanimals.org/11-facts-that-will-remind-you-why-you-went🙌
Don't be a savage, be vegan. ✌️❤️🌿
Here's to all the animal rights activists who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty 🍻 You're not very well understood by most people alive today, even some vegans, but everyone with an open mind and a level head knows you're doing the right thing. #UntilAllTheCagesAreEmpty ✌️❤️🌿
You know what is crazier than stabbing innocent animals who can't defend or speak up for themselves just because you get hungry? Meat-eaters walking around as if their lifestyle isn't causing any harm. ✌️❤️🌿
A lot of guys still need to let this message sink in... and @patrikbaboumian is as good of an example as it gets. - This is a message to all those out there who think that you need animal products to be fit and strong. Almost two years after becoming vegan I am stronger than ever before and I am still improving day by day. Don't listen to those self proclaimed nutrition gurus and the supplement-industry trying to tell you that you need meat, eggs and dairy to get enough protein. There are plenty plant-based protein-sources and your body is going to thank you for stopping to feed it with dead-food. Go vegan and feel the power! - Patrik Baboumian - Just a selection of Patriks cruelty-free accomplishments since being vegan: 2011 Germany's Strongest Man 2012 European Champion in Powerlifting Class –140 kg division 2012 World record beer keg lifting (150,2 kg) 2012 World record Front Hold 20 kg (1:26,14 Minutes) 2013 World record yoke-walk, 550,2 kg over 10 m in Toronto 2015 World record yoke-walk, 560 kg in 28 seconds - You don't need animal products for strength or masculinity - stop lying to yourself. Patrik holds the current world record for the most weight ever carried by a human being, and he did it while vegan. There is nothing manly about exploiting vulnerable non-humans. That doesn't require strength, that is a sign of weakness. - Stay tuned for @gamechangersmovie starring Patrik that will hopefully expose this dangerous myth for the last time.✌️❤️🌿
@vegangainsofficial asks the hard hitting questions no one else asks 😆😂🤣 Even though he certainly meant this as a joke, what species causes the most destruction and death on this planet? What species, if removed, would allow all other life on this planet to thrive? Why the human species of course. But seriously, don't take this quote too serious.✌️❤️🌿
