Seems so obvious but so many people hide behind these lie of โ€œhumane meatโ€

๐Ÿคฎ how can people think eating only meat and cheese can be good for them

Unfortunately every great social change has been gradual, both societally and for most people, personally. Your idealism does nothing for the animals. I know so many lifelong vegans who started with a timed challenge, some more than 60years ago. Are their lives/ veganism therefore a gimmick?

Thereโ€™s no point in searching for the โ€œrightโ€ way to do the wrong thing. It doesnโ€™t exist. You can feed your victims only grass and keep them in barns rather than cages - and still, youโ€™ll end up needlessly planting a knife into their necks. Choose compassion over killing and live vegan ๐ŸŒฑ

The image shows Christopher Walken holding a drink and looking displeased or skeptical, wearing a teal shirt and a blue patterned button-up over it. The text above the image says, โ€œMe in the supermarket still seeing people in the meat and dairy aisles, instead of the plant-based one.โ€

With so much information and so many vegan options to choose from, it gets harder and harder for me to hide my scowl ๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ˜…

Many lifelong vegans started with small steps like this. Not everyone can or will go vegan overnightโ€”awareness campaigns meet people where they are and inspire real change over time. Progress > perfection.

A man standing outdoors holding a sign that reads: โ€˜IF SHOWING KIDS WHAT HAPPENS IN A SLAUGHTERHOUSE IS TOO SHOCKING FOR THEM TO WATCH THEN MAYBE WHAT WE ARE DOING TO THE ANIMALS IS WRONG?โ€™

Thereโ€™s a reason people take their kids apple-picking, instead of throat-slitting. Choose compassion and leave animals off your plate. #Veganuary

Meme depicting a man and a child pointing at a giant crawling sausage and a beef patty with arms and legs, standing in a sunlit forest. The text above reads:

โ€œMeat-eaters: โ€˜Why do vegans like to eat things shaped like meat?โ€™
Also meat-eaters: โ€˜Have a look at the noble sausage and patty, roaming free until we harvest them.โ€™โ€

Iโ€™m always baffled when people try to call out vegans for mimicking โ€˜meat shapes.โ€™ Whenโ€™s the last time you saw a patty crawl past you? Nothing natural about the shapes you hide the tormented bodies of your victims in. Those are just practical food shapes ๐Ÿ˜ŠโœŒ๏ธ

A cartoon featuring characters from โ€œThe Wizard of Ozโ€ standing on the Yellow Brick Road. Dorothy, holding her dog Toto, addresses the Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Cowardly Lion, saying, โ€œNo heart, no brain, no courage. What are you?

No heart, no brain, & no courage? Sounds just like all the self-deluded hunters Iโ€™ve had the displeasure of meeting online.

Choose compassion, not cowardice. ๐ŸŒฑโœŒ๏ธ

As sentient animals, we all experience pain, joy, fear, and confusion.

As sentient animals, we all have the right to live and be free of exploitation.

The world feels more chaotic and out of our control than ever, but going vegan is something each of us CAN control that has a genuine positive impact - not just for the animals, but for our planet and even for ourselves. So whatโ€™s stopping you from trying it this January? #Veganuary

A vibrant, surreal illustration of a city park where people are walking pigs on leashes, as if they are companion animals. The setting includes bright skyscrapers in the background, colourful autumn trees, and park benches. The pigs are adorned with harnesses, sweaters, and various accessories, mingling freely in the lively urban environment. The scene contrasts typical perceptions of pigs, portraying them as cherished companions rather than farm animals.
