A mother cow desperately trying to get her stolen baby back. The calf will be sold as veal, and their mother will never see them again.

This is the true cost of dairy 💔

Humans kill around 100 million sharks annually: sharks kill around 5 humans. The media is made up of humans and humans are largely anthropocentric. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

Nobody intervened to help a boat at sea level. After hours of surveillance before it sank, somebody decided to let 750 people drown.

June 3 marks #NationalEggDay, a day celebrating eggs as a nutritious food source.

But nutrition is not the only consideration that influences the health impacts of eggs.

Last week, I did a thread on how @ucdavis is directly funded by the beef industry.

Anyways, here is a study they published trying to claim that "lab grown meat could be 25 times worse for the climate than beef".

They forgot to add that the beef industry funded the study.

This is the single most terrifying piece of news in the @guardian's incredible expose of the #beef industry yesterday.

Is it too early to start talking about @PulitzerPrizes?

PASSIVE RESTORATION: Cattle were removed from this public land in 1990. You be the judge. It is amazing how nature can heal itself if we just get out of the way. This is on the Hart Mountain National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon, USA.

Experts say California's climate policies are encouraging larger herd sizes in dairy farms.

People who live near the farms say they are now exposed to a higher volume of hazardous pollutants as the number of cows has multiplied.

When people make a moral distinction between factory farming and family farming, it might help to note that the meat industry — and the media! — call this Texas farm that recently lost 18,000 cows in a barn fire a “family farm.” https://t.co/9cGRhIHXxS

If you call yourself an animal lover but there's a dead lamb on your plate this Easter, you're not an animal lover at all.

In ancient times when an ox was about to be sacrificed, the ox would be asked if he consented while the priest splashed his head with water. When the ox nodded to dislodge the water, that would be “proof” the animal was volunteering to be killed. We’ve come a short way, baby!
