#animal rights
Before I begin, let me first note that I think all forms of racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, etc. are disgusting, and I don’t understand how humanity expects to thrive while it keeps insisting that people of a certain race, gender, sexuality or disability are “lower-class”.
What I want to discuss is humanity (and SJW in particular)’s ridiculous disregard of speciesism.
Would you not assume that someone obsessed with equal rights in society would also be obsessed with the rights of animals? I would.
Unfortunately, it is the belief of many so-called “social justice warriors” that animals are not a part of society and do not deserve to be treated with a speck of respect or compassion.
Why is this? Well, I believe it to be the same reason for the disregard of racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism that existed a century ago: tradition. Social justice warriors declare themselves to be more open-minded than their grandparents, more respectful of others and more accepting of change. So why, then, are they so close-minded, disrespectful and outraged by change when it comes to the way we treat animals?
Hypocrisy is the answer. While they have achieved the open-mindedness to accept racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism as terrible and very real things, they refuse to accept that speciesism is the same, if not worse. They refuse to believe their grandparents’ notions of sexism, but agree with them on topics of speciesism.
I believe this is because many of these so-called “social justice warriors” are not as open-minded as they think. They have realised that racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism are wrong through the teachings of tumblr, but they haven’t been taught how wrong speciesism is and can’t see it without having their eyes opened for them.
Others, of course, know plenty about the cruelties of animal testing and farming but refuse to stop buying their favourite make-up and animal products because they’re selfish and, in my view, the worst kind of human scum.
As for those who are uninformed, that’s where we come in. Tumblr hasn’t taught the uninformed enough about animal rights, and many times, games of the selfish people mentioned above such as “spot the vegan” come first and turn neutral ignorance into anti-veganism.
We need to get there first. We need more posts detailing the benefits of veganism, the horrors of farming and animal testing, and the logic behind every point. Tumblr has made an impact on millions of people regarding racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism, and now it’s speciesism’s turn.
So speak out. Use your knowledge of what happens at dairy farms, the vegan-suited anatomy of the human body, the horrors of animal testing and the rejection of breeders to inform those who are neutrally ignorant. Inform them before “spot the vegan”, “we’re omnivores” and “animal testing is a benefit to society” gets there first.
Australians band together to protest shark cull.
More than 170 sharks were caught during a heinous and cruel cull policy in western Australia. Of those, around 50 sharks were murdered. And it was all legal as Australia embarked on the killing spree after a handful of fatal attacks took place in the country over the past two years.
Conservationists rightly charged the government of going against…
The vegan diet is picking up with unusual adherents.
As vegans move from a tiny fraction of a fraction of a minority in the United States and other countries globally, it is an ideal moment to begin to reassert our lifestyle in a positive manner. Veganism is compassion; compassion for all living beings, humans included. When newspapers report on the “extremist” views of vegans, we do not need to…
Tim Howard joins anti-fur movement.
Everton goalkeeper and America’s top choice Tim Howard has bared all in support of PETA’s “Ink not Mink” campaign this year, saying how important he sees protecting animals.
Howard, whose body is covered in tattoos, also said that he plans more tattoos coming up to Christmas this year.
“Protecting animals is very important to me, and I think speaking out…
Imho the idea of ‘cruelty free’ products or food shouldn’t mean that nothing died to create it, but rather that anything and anyone involved in the creation process hasn’t been exploited or harmed.
Leather is good actually. Veganism isn’t the end all be all to morality and consumption. The issue isn’t that a chicken died for those nuggets, but that while the chicken was alive, it’s life fucking sucked. Vegan chocolate means little if the cocoa that made it was gathered by child slave labor.
Factory farms, abuses of the people who pick the fruit and vegetables we eat, the focus profit and productivity over all else - that’s the fucking issue here. It’s capitalism folks.
Oops, someone dropped the truth.
Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.
