Gentle World

Envisioning a vegan world, not in some far off tomorrow when the lion lives in peace with the lamb... but today, when we do. 🌎🐾✌️

Across the US, families prepare to turn the dead bodies of over 45 million unique miracles of nature into the centerpieces of Thanksgiving “feasts” for diners in this affluent nation to gorge themselves on until sick with the pains of indulged gluttony. https://t.co/hDZMTT9lBh

otters juggle rocks and we just don’t know why, nor do we know how this behaviour emerged

The juggling frequency increases with age, and when it’s closer to feeds but doesn’t correlate to increased foraging skills

February 9, we honor Gentle World for their book, Cookbook for People Who Love Animals, a collection of vegan recipes compiled in 1981 that achieved mass distribution long before the world knew what the word ‘vegan’ meant.

What is extreme is we encourage our children to love animals at the same time that we teach them those that they love can also be those whom they harm. We teach our children that love is consistent with commodification. That is truly extreme—and very sad. https://t.co/SEMuA3KZA1

These tulips are giving new meaning to the term ‘flower beds’ – as tiny harvest mice curl up inside them, since they sleep inside, as these photos by Miles Herbert show [read more: https://t.co/OLDDEoK7eM]

I just love the expression on this little titipounamu’s face as he explores the world outside the nest for the first time.

I may be a bit obsessed with this little Te Ahumairangi family, but can you blame me when they’re this adorable!

Some people don't consider it to be an important issue, but we think it matters to those cows whose bodies are used in the filters. 😓 It's also a way for slaughterhouses to make money from their waste products, so boycotting nonvegan sugar is an important stand to make.

"Sentience is not a characteristic that has evolved to serve as an end in itself. It is a trait that allows the beings who have it to identify situations that are harmful and that threaten survival. Sentience is a means to the end of continued existence."

[Prof. Gary Francione @garylfrancione]

Sentience is a means to the end of continued existence. Sentient beings have an interest in remaining alive. To say that a sentient being is not harmed by death (Jeremy Bentham & Peter Singer) denies the very interest that sentience serves to perpetuate: https://t.co/78cG0F4EYY

This is one determined little fellow...

@rickygervais This is devastating indeed. A reminder of the horrendous abuses against animals who don't inspire the same sympathies. Most readers are largely powerless against poaching, but their purchases actively support (for example) debeaking, maceration and suffocation of day-old chicks.

Wondering if liking any more Instagram posts could cause the algorithm to turn up nothing but stunning vegan food shots and beautiful rescued animal portraits...
