These two piglets were born today in a prison camp somewhere in #Denmark Their lives have been taken from them even before they were born 💔They will have no freedom no natural life and will never be outside😢#EndAnimalExploitation#StopEatingAnimals#LiveVegan because you care ✌️
Camel slaughterhouse 👺Just before their barbaric slaughter. ALL slaughter is barbaric. Killing animals is the root of all evil. We will find no peace among each other if we don’t abolish this. #StopYourKillings#LiveVegan it is the only way forward 🙏
Watching living creatures get unloaded like bags of fertilizer on a rainy tarmac will turn your stomach every single time.
These cats are packed into identical plastic carriers, riding down a metal belt loader straight out of an aircraft belly hold, and getting tossed onto an open baggage trailer like Amazon returns.
Bulk animal shipments move across airports every day with rescues getting relocated, breeders shipping inventory, lives treated strictly as freight on a manifest.
The worker on the ramp is just trying to clear the cart and clock out, but when you look closely at those carrier doors, there's a terrified pair of eyes staring right back.
A job’s a job, but when the cargo has a heartbeat, you handle it with some damn care.
This sounds completely unreal but I double checked and it's true: the Eiffel Tower was closed on Monday due to a Hindu sect that demanded that all women "make themselves invisible" so their 93-year-old guru wouldn't have to see them.
The sect in question is BAPS - "Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha," which roughly translates to "the organization of Swaminarayan followers who believe in Akshar Purushottam, based in Bochasan" (a village in Gujarat).
It's a very wealthy organization with deep ties to Modi's BJP (Modi is himself from Gujarat), known for building mega-temples around the world and whose doctrine demands absolute obedience to a living guru as the sole path to God.
It's not their first controversy: in 2021, the FBI raided their massive New Jersey temple after workers - mostly Dalits, India's lowest caste (the so-called "untouchables") - alleged they'd been lured to the US on fake religious visas, had their passports confiscated, and were forced to work 13-hour days for about $1 an hour, confined to a guarded compound (see https://t.co/kTNzdZWtoe).
Long story short, they just opened a new mega-temple in France (the website: https://t.co/4g6HW9bBPy) - specifically in Bussy-Saint-Georges (30km away from Paris) - presented as "the biggest Hindu temple built in continental Europe in a traditional style" (https://t.co/exbFjzLe2k).
Their guru was there for the inauguration and, as you do, wanted to visit the Eiffel Tower while in France. But, thing is, his doctrine dictates that women must not be in his presence.
And here is where it gets unreal: when his entourage requested a private visit, the Eiffel Tower's management actually agreed to the terms and ordered all female employees - including subcontractors - to hide (https://t.co/Sm7yb5LMFq).
This was on Saturday and, France being France (in a good way), on Monday the women who'd been told to make themselves invisible made themselves very, very visible: the staff went on strike and shut down the Eiffel Tower.
So there you have it, unreal but true: the Eiffel Tower, symbol of the French Republic, is closed because a 93-year-old Hindu guru refuses to be in the presence of women.

A mother cow has just given birth, and her calf is immediately taken away. They will never see each other again💔
This is the reality of the dairy industry.
