Cyler, a young boy from Omaha, was recently involved in a frightening incident at Walmart that left him and his family shaken. They now need support to cover medical bills, therapy, and daily expenses as Cyler recovers. This fundraiser has just reached over 50% of its goal, showing how much people want to help. Even a quick share can help it reach more supporters who may be able to assist. Please consider sharing or donating to help Cyler and his dad during this tough time. https://t.co/b7aiSnCqk7

@TiffanyFong _Try to get seen…either in person, or maybe you can get a video visit? They can help get you what you need. Depending on what you have, if it’s not viral, they can hook you with antibiotics.

ICE INVESTIGATION LEADS TO GUILTY PLEA IN MONKEY SEXUAL TORTURE CASE

Francisco Javier Ravelo, a U.S. citizen from Coral Gables, FL, pleaded guilty March 2 to distributing videos showing adult and baby monkeys being sexually tortured and physically mutilated following an ICE @HSINewOrleans investigation.

Ravelo created and administered online chat groups dedicated to torturing monkeys — in violation of the federal animal crushing statute.

Ravelo personally distributed more than 40 of these obscene crush videos.

Warning. ⚠️ Long post for cityslickers.
For those of you who live in the city, and have never been around commercial farms, now you know how your chicken is transported. They are crammed in these crates and hauled over an hour to the nearest Tyson processing facility. In the heat of summer, and the frost bite of winter.

This is only one of dozens of Tyson trucks that haul poultry in this area. They are loaded out everyday from different farms within a 200 mile radius which in itself is a huge process. Thousands of birds. Every. Single. Day.

The ammonia produced in the barns where these birds live is a massive health risk. Not to mention the feathers, mites, and dust. The farmers and barn crews inevitably end up with life-long respiratory issues.

The producers who raised these birds have no say in the input or output. They are completely beholden to the companies they produce for. Tyson determines the size of the barn, the quality of feed, the type of bedding and water systems, even the number of birds. They do not compensate the farmer for loss.

It's a noisy, smelly, backbreaking, soul sucking way to make a living simply because consumers demand their chicken nuggets. A televised football game without wings? Sacrilege! A picnic without KFC extra crispy family meal? Unheard of!

So why can't these birds be grown off-site on healthy pasture and live long happy lives? Because they are a genetically modified crossbreed created to convert high protein feed into 1 lb per week growth. Think about that. A normal heritage chicken takes 6-8 months to reach full potential through forage and minimal input. These Cornish cross chickens take six to seven WEEKS. That 3 lb chicken breast you just bought at Walmart is not normal. But society demanded it, so producers accommodated.

Here's the ugly Truth. Some of the birds you see in this picture will have broken legs and suffer heart attacks before they hit your dinner plate. They just get too big, too fast. They have never seen sunlight other than this truck ride. They have no idea what grass is. The only bugs they see are flies and mites/lice. They are simply created to be consumed.

I do not blame the farmers, they are just trying to make a living. I do not blame the corporations, they are accommodating demand. I blame us. We became an instant gratification society. I want my grilled chicken sandwich and I want it now.

Until we adopt a mindset of less corporate input and more local output, this is our continued foreseeable future. The problem will not solve itself overnight, but the problem was not created overnight. So if you can, make a small detour in your way of thinking, and contact a local farmer to buy that Sunday night chicken. It may only weigh 4 lb fully feathered, but it has lived its best life and you will taste the difference.

[King of the Marsh @KingVelesI]

Transhumanists would rather fill the world with these nightmarish abominations than accept the fact that their morality is fundamentally flawed.

There is NOTHING morally wrong with slaughtering animals. Livestock can be raised and slaughtered 100% humanely. They can live happy, healthy lives, and have painless, stress-free deaths. I know this for a fact, as that's how we do it on our farm.

In nature, prey animals depend on predators to keep their numbers in check, and prevent them from destroying their own environment and, thus, themselves through overpopulation. In ethical animal husbandry, humans have simply taken on the role of a supremely benevolent apex predator that grants their "prey" lives and deaths that are far, FAR better than those their wild counterparts get to experience.

Thus, converting wilderness to farms already results in a HUGE decrease of animal suffering, and on truly ethical farms, animals don't suffer at all.

Hence, I believe pushing for cruelty-free farming is a much better and healthier strategy than trying to spawn horrific, brainless flesh robots in an effort to solve a non-existent moral problem.

[Isaiah L. Carter 🇺🇸 @IsaiahLCarter]

HIGHLY concur.

[Mike Jones @technopopulist]

Animal welfare might be seen by some as a secondary issue. Some may treat animals as morally insignificant, beings for whom no bell ever tolls and to whom we owe no direct responsibilities. But no moral principle can excuse ignoring the basic obligations of kindness we owe them, obligations that set clear limits on our behaviour and that are far too often disregarded today.

[Jeshter @ranganaut]

The world's a cruel place but this torture is unspeakably so - should be banned and its perpetrators shunned for eternity.

[Salomé Sibonex @SalomeSibonex]

Love seeing conservative meat eaters and progressive vegans come together to oppose a bad policy on the basis of their shared belief in basic decency.

Life is good; the more we treat living things accordingly, the more we align with creation vs destruction.

[Hana Katana ⚔️😷🏴🏳️‍🌈 🍉 THEY/THEM @KatanaSpeaks]

No living being should ever be treated like this.

[RAW EGG NATIONALIST @Babygravy9]

I remember going on a date with an otherwise really quite charming Danish girl at Cambridge, a neuroscientist, and during the date she told me she performed live experiments on animals’ brains. She said it in the most dispassionate way that absolutely chilled my blood. Needless to say, I didn’t see her again.

Along with factory farming, live animal experimentation is one of the great aesthetics of evil in the modern world, and should be brought to a complete end.

Most female pigs in the meat industry spend their lives in a metal cage so small they can't even turn around. Not as a punishment, not temporarily, for their entire life. They go through pregnancy and give birth in these tiny cages. Then after 3-5 years of this, they're killed. This is standard in the meat industry.

[Esther TheWonder Pig @EstherThePig]

Absolutely unacceptable. Gestation crates are so small the pigs can only lay down or sit, they can’t even turn around. They spend the majority of their “productive life” (3-5 years) in these cages before they are sent to slaughter. Please speak up against this horrible practice.
