Notice how there's none of the standard slaughterhouse practices (e.g., animals, screaming, blood, etc) in this tofu factory, and as a transparency bonus they openly film it. Oh, also for a 100 calorie serving, tofu has more protein than beef.

Failing to see others as individuals capable of pain & suffering is the death of our social fabric. Whether encountering an unhoused person who's trying to survive, or an animal who's trying to live in a hostile world, we need more empathy for all. 🙏🏾
In the wake of Jerry Springer's passing today, folks were worried about the legendary Bob Barker (don't worry, he's thankfully still with us). And how lucky the animals are to have Bob on their side ⬇️
Remembering that time when Lisa Marie Presley teamed up with PETA to win the freedom--and release to a sanctuary--of a chimpanzee, who was named after the singer-songwriter and had been exploited for profit by a shady Elvis impersonator.

Did you know that most states have EXEMPTIONS in their cruelty laws for animals used in lab experiments?
This means unimaginable torture is overwhelmingly LEGAL in lab testing, but it's illegal in everyday life.

by sea, effective April 30, 2023. Footage of a capsized live export ship in 2019 underscores the urgency of this ban. ❤️
Grief-filled scenes like this happen each year to billions of animals who have their loved ones taken from them. It's important to bear witness so we SEE animals as FULL INDIVIDUALS who feel pain and can suffer, & who are undeserving of human exploitation.
One day, slaughterhouses will be museums that remind future generations of our worst instincts, blinded morality, sinister opportunism, & mindless devotion to the altar of capitalism, never to be repeated again. Going vegan is the greatest reclamation project for our humanity. ❤️
Meat is the commmodification of unfathomable violence, normalized by marketing, divorced from morality, enabled by secrecy, politicized by governmental imprimatur, subsidized by taxpayers, & exploited by profit-driven businesses at the expense of human health & global climate.
It's 2023 & we still TORTURE MILLIONS of animals from mice to monkeys in US labs with:
BURNS 🔥
DRUGS 💊
BLASTS 💣
DISEASES ☠️
ISOLATION 😿
NEAR DROWNINGS 🐭
ELECTRO-SHOCKS ⚡️
MOTHER-INFANT SEPARATION 🙊
FOOD/WATER/SLEEP DEPRIVATIONS 🥤

As I stood on the kill floor of a slaughterhouse several years ago, I'll never forget the pigs' screams forever seared into my memory. Please,

JUST ANNOUNCED: The FDA Modernization Act 2.0 is now LAW! This is history in the making that will lead to the saving of COUNTLESS animals who are abused and killed during drug R&D testing 🥳
CATASTROPHIC: A bull named Vicioso was let loose to charge at crowds during the Bou de les Penyes festival in Ontinyent (Spain), when he jumped over a wall and crash-landed 50ft below, later being euthanized.
This is TORTURE, not entertainment.
If a pig is electroshocked or shot in the head with a captive bolt gun and then dipped into scalding hot water, and if this does not shatter your heart, then something is amiss

UPDATE: This lucky 4-month-old cow will now get to live the good life at Skylands Animal Sanctuary & Rescue instead of being killed in a slaughterhouse! ♥️ 👉🏾
BREAKING: A terrified baby calf in Brooklyn broke out of a slaughterhouse and RAN FOR HIS LIFE today. That animals desperately want to ESCAPE should be a clear sign that what goes on in slaughterhouses is ABHORRENT. Please,

Pain & terror are constant companions for animals in a slaughterhouse. In their world, hope is a stranger. Please, don't ignore their screams for help.

JUST IN: 18,000 cows died in a massive explosion in Dimmitt, Texas.
FACT: In the dairy industry, cows are forcibly inseminated on a 'rape rack,' & have their horn tissue burned/cut out, milk stolen, & babies kidnapped.

Many dead or injured pigs were strewn across a highway in Barcelona, Spain, when a truck carrying them crashed 💔
If this bothers you, the best way to prevent such tragedies in the future is to go vegan 🌱
Thousands of fish just washed up dead in the Gulf of Mexico. Why? Likely because the water is too hot. Fight climate change with diet change, go vegan.
BREAKING: Federal Judge in Brazil BANS cruel live export of cows 🙌🏾
Federal judge Djalma Gomes wrote in the ruling: "Animals are not things. They are sentient living beings, that is, individuals who feel hunger, thirst, pain, cold, anguish, fear." 💯
BREAKING: Automaker
@GM
just UPGRADED its ban on conducting/commissioning animal tests to also now include a ban on funding them, after talks with PETA 👏🏾
So
@Ford
, will you now adopt a FULL BAN on all animal tests, like the pig crash test you funded? ⬇️
