Learn how to celebrate FREEDOM like a REAL American Hypocrite in this perversely patriotic bite size video guide!-
∙
Delight in an independence born from the genocide and subjugation of a native people and built upon the ongoing enslavement of an entire race!-
∙
Be sure to bask in the glory of the most American way to revel in your freedom - a Big-Ol-Merican-BBQ!-
∙
Cause nothing says freedom like the enslavement of billions
∙
Nothing says independence like obliterating the rights of others
∙
Nothing declares equality like deciding who lives and who dies based on how they look
∙
Nothing displays family values like bonding over the spoils of another family’s complete destruction
∙
And nothing says America like affording more rights to your taste buds than living, breathing beings

∙

Reposted! (spelling error in a meme about words…cause I’m that awesome) :D
…
Are your words working against you? Are you advocating cruelty in an effort to be approachable? The number one question I receive from new vegans and existing activist is how to reach non-vegans with the truth
∙
In my recent speech, I walk you through the pitfalls and traps we activist often fall into, and lay out a guide for more effectively communicating your message without sacrificing your integrity. Find the speech & written guide linked in my bio today. Or go to http://www.BiteSizeVegan.org/UseYourWords
∙
One major approach for reaching non-vegans is to make a vegan lifestyle accessible, easy—even mainstream. The accessibility of veganism is something about which I am intensely passionate—it’s one of the foundational aspects of Bite Size Vegan.
∙
However, in attempting to “bridge the gap” and meet the general public where they’re at, there exists the risk of reducing the ethical imperative of veganism to a socially acceptable lifestyle choice—even offering gradations of change that amount to acceptable and endorsed levels of cruelty

Of all the testimonials and stories of change I receive, nothing hits me in the feels quite like hearing about the impact of my Vegan Kids video series-
∙
Kids are intelligent and intuitive—far more than we adults usually give them credit for. It’s an honor to provide resources for kids and families to learn about veganism in an age-appropriate (but not “sugar coated” or “dumbed down”) manner-
∙
I am fiercely passionate about everyone’s right to know the truth and have free, open-access to solid, factual information—whatever their background, race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, or age!-
∙
HUGE thank you to @essentially.abundant, Mack & Carter for sharing this! Every story of change means more to me than I can every possibly communicate

These are the mothers of your “meat"—marked with spray paint to indicate their usefulness as baby machines is over. I encountered them on their way to their thankless deaths in a town called—perversely enough—"Liberty”
∙
Pigs are highly intelligent and incredibly social, ranking with primates in their level of social cognition. Mothers can recognize their piglets by sound alone, and sing to their babies while nursing—referred to in studies as “nursing vocalization.”-
∙
But despite their scientifically recognized array of complex emotions, piglets are separated from their mother within days or weeks of their birth—the sooner her babies are taken, the faster she can “re-enter production.”-
∙
Pigs literally go crazy from the stress of their confinement and treatment, often exhibiting neurotic behaviors like bar-biting—or, in this video, compulsively licking the floor of the truck. This may also be driven by thirst or hunger
∙

Surviving a brutal crash is a mistake—not a miracle—when you’re being driven to your execution
∙
These accidents expose the depth of our disconnect and lay bare our conflicting beliefs: people wince at the news of a livestock truck crash, mutter “those poor cows” or “how awful for those pigs” without the slightest awareness of the absurdity of their statements
∙
Because these very same people will later consume the flesh and secretions of some other “poor” cow, pig, or chicken, who had the GREAT fortune of their truck making it to the slaughterhouse

Learn the TRUTH about THANKSGIVING
∙
Celebrating genocide with genocide is nothing to give thanks for
∙
“We have no reason to give thanks for the genocide of our peoples. We have no reason to give thanks for the ongoing violence and repression that we continue to experience.”
-Mahtowin Munro, United American Indians of New England
∙
∙
On Thanksgiving we celebrate the massacre of natives with the ongoing massacre of turkeys. We talk about how thankful we are for our friends and families, all the while chomping on someone’s family member for a holiday that tore apart countless native families and friends

I just got home from a day I did not expect. It started with my first visit to @iowafarmsanctuary, our state’s very first sanctuary for farmed animals
∙
We weren’t there long when the co-founder, Shawn, got a call that a truck full of cows had flipped over on a highway about 45 minutes away. We left for the crash in hopes of saving any survivors
∙
I can’t even begin to describe the scene. This photo is me inside the wreckage. The “top” of the bottom layer of the truck is to my left. To my right is the floor of the truck. “Above” the floor on the left is the mangled and gutted out top half of the truck
∙
As far as we know, at least 20 cows died or were shot. Four escaped and had not been located last we heard
∙
When we arrived only 3 bodies remained, being picked up by a construction crane and dropped into a massive dump truck, from which you could see legs projecting at the top.
∙
I will certainly be releasing a video documenting this day. I cannot say when it will happen, but there is so much to share, so much to say, so many deserving to be heard and seen
∙
Shawn eventually tracked down 8 survivors and we were able to find them and Shawn negotiated their surrender
∙
For those eight cows, this horrific, violent event was their only shot at life. Keep them in your thoughts. They’ve had a very, very long day

∙
We talked animal rights, activism, and the fight against #fur #animaltesting, and animal ingredients in the fashion industry, where Kat is making noise and waves for the animals
∙
I’m so grateful to Kat for continuing to utilize her impressive platform to magnify the voices of non-human animals and bring attention to the fight for their liberation. (And for the hilarious visual of me standing next to her in her platform shoes. It’s epic) ;D
