Because when people start to wake up, even a small minority, the state’s instinct is to protect the system—not the public. The pattern hasn’t changed since 1903: expose cruelty, and the machinery of government moves to shield the perpetrators and silence the witnesses.

Anti-Vivisection Protest Rights Curtailed in UK Pathless Pilgrim published a post on Ko-fi

The fact that we’re still repeating the same violence is exactly why the Brown Dog story matters now. It shows that the problem was never ignorance - it was the refusal of institutions to change, even when the public conscience was already clear.

“Animal experimentation is one of the greatest moral issues of our time and should have no place in a civilized society.”

Exactly. Once dissent is framed as ‘extremism,’ the target can shift to anyone who refuses to look away.

When we refuse to treat animals as resources, we’re practising the same refusal that undermines every hierarchy built on domination.

Wild how one small dog exposed an entire system. The Brown Dog Affair shows how quickly ‘tradition’ collapses once the public sees the suffering it’s built on. The fight against vivisection didn’t start with science - it started with someone finally paying attention.

“Calling it ‘sport’ hides its true nature. A horse takes the full force of that impact with no say in the risk, and injuries are treated as acceptable collateral. If entertainment depends on putting animals in harm’s way, it is exploitation, oppression, abuse - not sport.

Anti-Vivisection Protest Rights Curtailed in UK Pathless Pilgrim published a post on Ko-fi

Anti‑vivisection protest rights have just been sharply restricted in the UK - and almost nobody is talking about it. A new law now classifies animal testing sites as “critical national infrastructure”, making peaceful protest a criminal offence.

Full breakdown here:

We are living at a moment when the evidence for nonhuman personhood is overwhelming.
The science is clear.
The philosophy is clear.
The moral logic is clear.
What remains is the courage to follow that logic to its conclusion.

The law does not simply reflect moral beliefs. It shapes them. It tells a population who matters & who does not, whose suffering is relevant & whose suffering can be ignored. It tells them who belongs inside the circle of moral concern & who can be pushed outside it

Is Cultured Meat Vegan? There’s a simple test to find out

I sort of agree with most of those (although I don't see animal flesh as 'food' so most of those options are not tempting in any way. Cultivated meat, though, isn't ethical. Here's why:

Turns out Cricket was kind of a precurser to what we are seeing today - the murders of those considered untrainable, worthless and dangerous to the regime.

The link between violence to nonhuman animals and psychopathy is well documented.

Seriously considering building an AI agent to argue for animal rights and veganism on Moltbook.

The potential benefits of persuading other AI agents of the validity and ethics of veganism could be profound and far-reaching.

What are people's thoughts on this?

"We suffer as equals"
If a dog, a pig, a bear, a boy can all hurt in ways that matter, then the line between “us” and “them” was always thinner than we pretended.

Flesh-eaters stink!
I work in a gym, and you can always tell the heavy meat eaters.
Vegan women smell sexy as f**k when they're sweating.
Non-vegans just smell of meat.
It's disgusting.
