The abominable cruelty with which we treat these highly intelligent animals. They all get slaughtered in such places - regardless of how they were reared.
If you treated dogs or cats like this, you'd be sent to prison.
Yet we have normalised it.

Ghost flights banned, new frequent flier tax and aviation tax, all airport expansions put on hold, intergrated sustainable subsidies travel!!

The new Minister of Transport is absolutely smashing the net zero agenda!

Shame this wasn’t published ahead of the weekend, but the last act of #TheBigOne is far from the end of this journey. The question remains, will you join us for what’s next?

When we block a road to highlight the govt failure to act on the #ClimateCrisis
OUTRAGE from media

When 60,000 people peacefully & lawfully surround Parliament for #EarthDay for the same reason
SILENCE from @BBCNews @itn @SkyNews @TheSun @MailOnline @TalkTV @GBNEWS @thetimes

[Extinction Rebellion UK 🌍 @XRebellionUK]

You might have noticed a lot of nonsense about #TheBigOne in the usual right wing rags - personal attacks, whataboutery & wild speculation.

We call on the press to do their job. Stop the lies. Stop the distraction. Stop appeasing your billionaire tax dodging owners & #TellTheTruth about the #ClimateEmergency

Back at @Barclays today...why?

🚫The United Nations tells us: no new oil and gas
🚫The IPCC tells us: no new oil and gas
🚫The International Energy Agency tells us: no new oil and gas

🤑Despite this @Barclays has invested $167 billion since Paris 2016. RT to help expose them.

Hello @elonmusk . Thanks for reinstating @michaelastracha to @Twitter . I’m afraid the excellent @_BTO have now inexplicably disappeared . They are very important and well respected scientists and educators working to support critical conservation projects . Any chance . . . RT

At #PMQs Sunak says stopping people striking is the answer to dangerous ambulance delays
That’s just reactionary rubbish. And how disgusting to blame ambulance workers & nurses who are striking precisely to try to prevent people dying due to this Govt's running down of our #NHS

🚨BREAKING:🚨 XR target Michael Gove's office - Department of Levelling Up, Housing & Communities - over Cumbria coal mine decision.

In the middle of the climate and ecological emergency, this will be the UK's first new deep coal mine in 30 years.

It's time to #EndCoal.

@BenValsler @TomMcKeown4HI @Prosepina Nice, good work Tom, didn’t even know she’s touring. Afraid I’ve not kept up with her recent material though thanks for the prompt, I will have a listen

[Some call me Tim @tmoxon]

@GeorgeMonbiot Keep at it. The more progressives know a path forward the more investment it will get and eventually once the price is right the need for rational persuasion will go away. We’re getting there on renewables and the same can happen with food.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 #FossilFuel companies targeted across London

XR & aligned groups take action at Hill & Knowlton, Institute of Economic Affairs, JP Morgan, BAE, INEOS, Schlumberger, IMO, Eversheds Sutherland,BP & BEIS

Time to #CutTheTies to #FossilFuels

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

It’s not surprising. We want to forget that we kill 76 billion farm animals a year to please our palates. We call ourselves animal lovers, yet if we did to dogs and cats what we do to farm animals, we would find ourselves in prison. The cognitive dissonance is deafening.

[spencer 🦈 @Unpop_Science]

The meat industry says veggie burgers are processed and cow burgers aren’t. Here are some of their flow charts for processing a cow into a burger.

Each of these diagrams a different stage. The last shows how many slaughterhouses contribute to one burger.

[Cllr. Paul David Follows 🔶 @PaulDFollows]

This was the letter that @Jeremy_Hunt wrote to the then sec of state expressing his opposition to fracking here in #Waverley. Tonight, now Chancellor, he votes against a ban. What more can I say? How many more times do we need to see that what he says & how he votes are at odds?

[Some call me Tim @tmoxon]

Wow. Well done @trussliz. That vote was batshit even by your own cave-floor-under-a-massive-colony-of-bats standards.

How many of you know what Cruella Braverman's Public Order Bill contains?
It's frankly unbelievable: legislation you might expect in Russia, Iran or Egypt. Here's a summary from my column today:

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

Sorry to repeat myself, but you *really* need to know this.
Under the government's Public Order Bill, anyone who has protested in the previous 5 years can be forced to "submit to ... being fitted with, or the installation of, any necessary apparatus" to monitor your movements.
