Cop28 is a farce rigged to fail, but there are other ways we can try to save the planet | George Monbiot Inaction and self-interest are built into climate summits. Instead, we need a voting system that can’t be subverted by fossil fuel producers, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Two years ago, I wrote this about how the COP climate summits are designed to fail, and how they could be designed to succeed. Sadly, nothing has changed.

Chicken hatcheries 🐣💔

Thousands of chicks hatch in plastic crates, shuffled along conveyor belts for sorting and vaccination—then sent to egg farms.
Industrialized exploitation with zero regard for life. 😢

#EggTruth #vegetarian

🥚😭 Every egg you buy contributes to the brutal, systematic k!lling of male chicks.

❌ It’s the horrific secret the egg industry doesn’t want you to know.

💪 Stop the violence today by choosing egg-free options.

Taking the truth to the streets 📢

The egg industry spends millions on happy cartoons. We're spending our Saturday showing people what's really happening to hens.

Ready to see what they don't want you to know? 3 minutes 👉 buff.ly/g5BMN6k

#eggtruth #vegetarian

Because males can’t lay eggs, these male chicks are treated like trash in egg hatcheries.

The facts 👉 www.egg-truth.com/egg-blog/chi...

#eggtruth #vegetarian

Male chicks. Day one. Discarded alive. 🐣

This is the egg industry.
Cage-free doesn't change this. Organic doesn't stop this. This is the system.

The only question is: will you keep paying for it? 👉 buff.ly/WOyhp3a

💛🐣🐓 Sweet chicken fact: mama hens communicates with her baby chicks while still inside the egg.

In hatcheries there are mothers around. Here is what the egg industry does instead 🫣😭👉 www.egg-truth.com/egg-blog/chi...

#eggtruth #vegetarian

The egg industry hides the truth behind feel-good labels and happy farm imagery.

But here's what they don't show you — an #eggtruth thread 👇

🔦🐓 Undercover in Norway
Investigators found hens crammed in cages, unable to move.
Some dying slowly. Others featherless, barely alive.

This is the reality behind every egg.
You can stop supporting this—leave eggs off your plate. 🌱

🐣 He survived the hatchery and is still alive in a trash bin—for now.

Male chicks won't lay eggs, so within hours of hatching, they're sorted and killed: ground up alive or suffocated by the millions.

Please stop supporting this industry. Please ditch eggs.

#eggtruth

Exhausted and discarded 💔

When hens’ bodies give out from relentless egg laying, the industry kills entire flocks—gassed, buried, or suffocated.

Don’t support this cruelty.
Go egg-free 🥚❌

#eggtruth #vegetarian

💔 🐓 She doesn't know what ground feels like.
She stands on the body of another hen who couldn't survive this.

This is what eggs cost.
You can help end this. Stop buying eggs. ❌ 🥚

#eggtruth #vegetarian

🥚Left, the eggs in your fridge.
🐔Right, the hen who suffered for them.

She spent 18 months in extreme confinement, her body pushed to its breaking point—then slaughtered the moment she slowed down.

This is the cost of every egg.
Please, leave eggs off your plate.

A human is stomping on the head of a young pig who is screaming in terror and pain. To the left are several young sheep individuals being forced into a crowded enclosure.

In our ever more ‘effective’, efficient violent domination of other animals, we create the pure concepts & vile methods for the ever more effective & efficient violent domination of each other. In “conquering nature” we enslave, oppress & brutalise ourselves.

We are #OneBillionScreams

The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth.
Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it.
Every single time.

An infographic on a black background with a central illustration of a white, woolly sheep. "WHY WE WON'T USE Wool". "Wool" is in large red letters. Surrounding the sheep are several points of information with arrows pointing to different parts of its body: Top Left: "THERE ARE 1 BILLION SHEEP ON THE PLANET BRED MOSTLY for WOOL!" "METHANE FROM SHEEP IS A TOP SOURCE OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, ESPECIALLY IN AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND" An arrow points to the sheep's rear: "TAILS ARE CUT OFF, W/O PAINKILLERS" Bottom Left: An arrow points from the sheep's rear: "MOST MERINO SHEEP HAVE THE SKIN AROUND THEIR BUTTOCK CHOPPED OFF WITHOUT PAINKILLERS. IT'S CALLED Mulesing." "ONCE SHEEP ARE "SPENT" (NOT PRODUCING ENOUGH WOOL) THEY ARE "LIVE EXPORTED" ON GIANT SHIPS TO BE SLAUGHTERED IN OTHER COUNTRIES; A JOURNEY W/O FOOD, WATER, OR CARE." Top Right: "MOST SHEARERS ARE PAID BY VOLUME of WOOL: AS THEY RUSH, & AS SHEEP STRUGGLE... STOMPING, PUNCHING, KICKING, SLAMMING & THROWING SHEEP DURING THE SHEARING PROCESS HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED EVEN ON 'HUMANE' FARMS, RESULTING IN BROKEN BONES, INJURIES & EVEN DEATH." Right Side (with red lines drawn on the sheep's fleece indicating cuts): "HIGH-SPEED SHEARING OFTEN LEAVES LACERATIONS & GASHES THAT ARE SEWN UP ON THE SPOT W/ NO PAIN RELIEF." Bottom Center/Right: An arrow points to the sheep's groin area: "MALES ARE CASTRATED WITHOUT PAIN RELIEF." "EACH YEAR ABOUT 1 MILLION SHEEP DIE FROM BEING SHEARED TOO SOON & FREEZING TO DEATH"

A few people have asked me why I avoid wool. The simple answer is that the wool industry is one of the cruelest and most destructive industries on the planet. So I simply buy something else instead 🐏🐑

Israeli soldiers speak out on killings of Gaza civilians IDF soldiers tell documentary of opening fire unprovoked and arbitrary designations of who was an enemy

“Israeli soldiers have described a free-for-all in Gaza and a breakdown in norms and legal constraints, with civilians killed at the whim of individual officers.”
