Has anyone watched the documentary Gunda? I heard good reviews about it. There's a free online screening happening if you want to check it out. https://t.co/6gzFCffc96
Been away for a while. I see people tag me to "prove" that there are indigenous vegans in their arguments against non vegan indigenous people of their geographical location. That's the wrong way to engage and I'm also the wrong person. Indigenous people are not a monolith.
We stand in solidarity with those in the Asian-American and Pacific Islander community✊🏾💚🌱✨
⠀
Sending our love to the persons and families who have experienced these disgusting attacks caused by violent white terrorists🙏🏾

The orangutan is just extending a helping hand and "a helping hand" isn't the principle of humanity only. Often we see anything good and kind trait being associated to such "principles of humanity" and anything evil and cruel be animal-like.
The photo shows an orangutan monkey trying to help a geologist who fell in a mud puddle during his research.
When the photographer took the picture, he subtitled it: At a time when mankind is dying inside humans, animals lead us to the principles of humanity....!🌺
The recent case in point is that of Baarack (the sheep). Colonialism, capitalism, patriarchy have created this ableist dependency politics in order to legitimize and continue the exploitation. The same ableist idea is also used against nonhuman animals in their exploitation.
Nonhuman animals are usually pushed into the "rabbit hole of dependency on humans for healthcare" through domestication and selective breeding, generating traits that constantly trouble them but economically benefit us.
Humans use this idea of dependency to legitimize and continue the said exploitation of nonhuman animals under the garb of "care" with the pretext of "they wouldn't survive if not for us". So much so that "eating nonhuman animals" is also considered a form of "saving them".
