  2. #AnimalCruelty #AnimalWelfare #animaljustice [ Beware of disturbing images ]

    Police in #Feltham - West #London / #UK try to stop an escaped #cow by ramming it with their car.

    This is cruelty, this is no longer acceptable !!

    Surrey Police officers are a bunch of shit, inhuman beasts, and incapable of doing their job.

  3. The people who killed all of these birds should be locked away for many years and the people who bought the body parts should be identified and prosecuted wherever possible.

  4. Feeling very positive and heartened to see the great #animalrights, #animalliberation and #vegan communities on here!

    I'm told there are now also a few #veganism and #animalrights instances popping up? Please send any new ones you learn of!

    Thank you so much to everyone working on their own little piece of this #antispeciesism puzzle. We're going for full #nonhumanrights #personhood and #equality

    #Animaljustice is an issue that goes hand in hand with #climatejustice. Not just for humans, but for nonhumans too. Animals have even more individualized #climates than humans, and our #anthropocene activities have an even greater impact on them.

    Please boost/ give us a follow!
    We're here to build a community on a higher, more inclusive level - but stronger and more integrated, intentional in purpose, too.

  5. Happy 28th of #Februdairy!

    We're posting every day this month on the theme of "Februdairy". See the yvfi.ca site for more vegan-related fallacies.

  7. I've also founded a non-profit earlier this year that is devoted to raising the bar on the moral and legal status of non-human animals.

    I will set up an account here soon, but if you're still on Twitter too I'd love it if you followed there as well! The Twitter is [at] animalcognition

  8. CUTE-WASHING

    What is "cute-washing"?

    "Cute-washing" is a term I came up with to describe the typical way humans project onto animals in an effort to cover up or deny the way we actually treat them.

    The tweets from humans having a hard day that ask: "Please send me your pet photos," or the memes gone viral when someone has dressed their cat or dog up in some costume; or the more apparently-benign sharing of videos of animals appearing to be living their own lives, but humans caption the video with a snippet that serves to confirm or validate or center some pre-existing human bias.

    In none of these cases are the nonhuman animals themselves centered. It's rare to see (we do see it sometimes, in the videos shared from sanctuaries, for example).

    But it's still common to see lingering elements of cute-washing in posts and stories from some shelters and sanctuaries (I'm not calling you out, we are on the same side!). To be fair, part of this is obviously because so many animals are adorable.

    Our problem lies with a majority of people who can only see or actively extend that to certain animals (dogs and cats, pets).

    Take a look at mainstream movies. We have an annual industry of family-centric films featuring live-action dogs. Hachi is probably my favourite, here (that Richard Gere film). There was a recent Turkish documentary honouring the lives of feral cats.

    But for most of the animals we don't extend compassion to? The ones humans exploit or hunt and kill - we turn these into cartoons, Disney and Pixar characters, and the "cute-washing" begins.

    Bambi, Winnie, Mickey, Curious George, Bugs, Paddington...

    As for the recent award-winning EO (which I have yet to see, so I can't say much) - I'll have to see what type of critical line they draw (or fail to draw). If it's not imbued with a radical self-awareness of the donkey's place and the various human roles which create these conditions, including the conditions of perception that frame the film and its widespread appeal - it might be a lingering, abstract form of cute-washing.

    Ultimately, anything less than honouring animals in their full dignity as persons wanting their own lives, with their own interests and desires - anything less than that is not enough, and denigrates our own humanity in the process.

  10. @jim excellent, will have to check these out!

    We grabbed this server because at the time it was the only open one, but are looking for something more field-appropriate
