Beak trimming or "debeaking" is often performed on laying hens to reduce the risk of feather pecking and cannibalism in unnaturally cramped environments.

Part of their beaks, which are full of nerve endings, are literally seared off with a hot blade.

Meme titled “ANTI-VEGAN BULLSHIT MIX AND MATCH Champion Edition.” Three columns parody anti-vegan arguments. Left: “If everyone went vegan,” “If we don’t eat meat,” “If we don’t milk cows,” “But if I don’t get to eat my bacon,” “You vegans just don’t realise that,” “If our ancestors didn’t eat meat,” “If we stopped breeding animals,” “Some people can be vegan, but,” “Don’t judge me just because I think,” “Even if you try to be 100% vegan.” Middle: “Our ancestors,” “Lions,” “Plants,” “Animals,” “Eskimos,” “Vegans,” “Ordinary people,” “Slaughterhouse workers,” “B12,” “Humane slaughter,” “Morality,” “The circle of life,” “Bacteria,” “Bacon,” “my uncle’s farm.” Right: “wouldn’t get enough B12,” “wouldn’t get enough protein,” “would have sore udders,” “wouldn’t be able to make sick gains,” “would starve to death,” “wouldn’t survive in the wild,” “would be out of a job,” “tastes good so cry more,” “wouldn’t have canines.” Mocks repetitive anti-vegan excuses.

We've heard it all.

Capitalism and the Destruction of Human Potential Capitalism is often praised as the system that rewards hard work, innovation, and ambition.

Capitalism is often praised as the system that rewards hard work, innovation, and ambition. We are told it is the best way to unlock human potential, to lift people out of poverty, and to create opportunity. Yet the reality is the exact opposite.

Capitalism and the Destruction of Human Potential Herbiⓥore added a post for members!

Capitalism does not reward the best of human nature, it rewards exploitation, domination, and greed. Compassion is dismissed as weakness.

The image is a three-part satirical cartoon illustrating characters avoiding their weaknesses. The first part shows a vampire cringing away from sunlight, the second part depicts Superman recoiling from kryptonite, and the third part portrays a person labeled as "Carnist" dramatically evading "Basic Logic." This visual metaphor humorously critiques the flawed reasoning often used to justify exploiting animals.

Basic logic is kryptonite for those who defend animal exploitation.

People support stunning fishes before slaughter. Translation: they admit fishes suffer, then keep funding the killing 🐟

Sankey flow diagram showing the US feed-to-food caloric flux. On the left, feed sources are listed: concentrates (590 Pcal from soybean, other crops, byproducts, and cereal grains), processed roughage (316 Pcal from hay, silage, crop residues), and pasture (280 Pcal). Flows show conversion into animal products on the right: pork (134 Pcal, 9% efficiency), poultry (174 Pcal, 13%), eggs (22 Pcal, 12%), dairy (167 Pcal, 17%), and beef (71 Pcal, 3%). A large portion flows into “loss.” Caption explains that out of 1187 Pcal of feed, only 83 Pcal become edible animal products, reflecting a weighted mean conversion efficiency of ~7%.

Even if you don't care about justice, farming animals is a waste of resources.

Adolescents Are More Speciesist Than Adults Adults love to say they “care about animals”, then order their corpses for dinner.

Teenagers are hyper-attuned to belonging. Step too far outside the group, and you risk ridicule or exclusion. Saying “meat is wrong” in that context feels like social suicide. So many default to parroting whatever line the majority uses.

‘There are SO many positives’ 💯💚

you've never met an easier scapegoat than vegans

Even worse, the original article didn't mention animal agriculture at all. They added one sentence about it after readers complained. bsky.app/profile/abbi...

Sadly far too many things are all about money and I suspect they have a vested interest in the animal agriculture industry and don’t want to ruffle any feathers for fear of losing advertising revenue.

Thank you 💚

This image features a cartoon drawing of a small, sad-looking octopus being held by chopsticks. The octopus has a tearful expression and the text above reads, **"PLEASE DON'T EAT ME."** The artwork is signed **"Just Comics / Joan Chan"** at the bottom. The image conveys a plea for compassion toward animals, specifically octopuses, and highlights the emotional aspect of considering animals as food.

Their life is more important than your dietary preferences 🐙

The Guardian’s Headlines Fuel Anti-Vegan Myths The Guardian has done it again, running headlines that mislead the public, feed speciesist narratives, and quietly reinforce the very myths they claim to challenge.

The Guardian positions itself as progressive, but when it comes to naming animal use as the driver of ecological collapse, they hide behind half-truths and cowardly headlines.
