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.

Some good news coming out of Canada for #elephants and great apes! The Canadian government is introducing a bill to phase them out of captivity!
This means zoos and private owners would be banned from acquiring new ones or breeding existing ones.
Why is this a big deal? Elephants and great apes (which includes #chimpanzees, #gorillas, #orangutans, and #bonobos) are highly intelligent and social beings with complex natural habitats. Studies have shown that these animals suffer both physically and mentally in captivity, and often develop serious behavioural and health problems due to the stress of confinement.
There are around 30 great apes held in captivity in Canada and over 20 captive elephants. Many of these animals were captured from their homes in the wild before being caged for human entertainment.
Vegan Australia welcomes this news from Canada, and we hope this will inspire the Australian government, and Australian zoos, to embrace similar measures and end the exploitation of all animals. Currently Australia is keeping 27 elephants, and approximately 60 great apes in captivity.

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.

Animal justice *is* climate justice.
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.
@utopiaburns thank you for sharing this! Bookmarking. Will add it to my lists.
