Do you feel you charge a fair price for the drugs you sell to little school children?

striking photo of a black and white tuxedo cat. The entire photo is almost entirely a velvety black except a curving line of white fur and the cat's gold eye which are illuminated by a sliver of sunbeam.

Stunning portrait of The Morsel by my boyfriend.

Sadly cat breeders are working hard to catch up to the horrors of the dog breeding world. 💔

Female lambs are kept for wool (and sometimes milk) and to produce more lambs but are generally sold for mutton around age 6 when their fertility/wool production declines. There are some small farms where females get nice retirements after a lifetime of profitable service but that is sadly rare.

At most farms the male baby goats, lambs, and calves are killed because they can't be milked. They might keep 1-2 on site for breeding. Females are kept to be impregnated over and over and over so they will produce milk and more babies. When they age out of pregnancies they are also killed.

If you want an ethical way to experience how cool and awesome and smart and beautiful farm animals are, visit a sanctuary like @woodstocksanctuary.bsky.social or @merrymacsanctuary.bsky.social!

(That is a rhetorical question. I work in farm animal rescue so sadly I know exactly what happens to most of them.)

I hate all the "cute" local news stories this time of year about "snuggle a baby goat" type events at local farms. What happens to those babies after you go home with your photos and nice memories? 💔

Photo of a long-haired white cat bounding down a plowed path cut through deep snow. The photo caught the cat at the perfect moment when their forelegs were outstretched flying through the air.

I don't post photos where cats are forced into costumes. Those are from the Library of Congress and have been posted by countless others, though.
