  5. @nm I have sent an email to #AnimalsAustralia and the #AnimalJusticeParty (Australia) asking them if they would be interested in having a presence on Mastodon, but you are welcome to email them as well as you would be asking them officially. ☺️

    I would also like to recommend: #VeganSociety (UK), #VeganAustralia, #PHAIRsociety, #PlantBasedNews, #SharkLab, #abillion, #voiceless (Australian), #AnimalLiberationVictoria, and possibly the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (#PCRM) - founded by Dr Neil Bernard.

    If I think of any more I will let you know!

  10. Last night on #ABC730, there was a short story on #antibiotic use on factory farmed animals such as #pigs and #chickens in #Australia. I suggest people watch the 5 minute segment here:
    abc.net.au/news/2023-04-19/the

    This is the blurb of the segment:

    "For almost a century, antibiotics have been used around the world to treat bacterial infection, but scientists warn that over-use could raise the risk of antibiotic-resistant superbugs.

    The World Health Organization has listed the problem as one of the top ten global health threats facing humanity. New research has found antibiotic resistance in samples of meat taken from supermarket shelves. Jason Om reports."

    Some brief thoughts on the story:

    -I have to laugh at the 'ethical butcher' nomenclature, as it reminded me of 'humane slaughter'. #oxymoron
    -It should be pointed out, because it wasn't directly stated in the news story, due perhaps to time constraints, but there is a reason that antibiotic use is so high and prevalent (60% of antibiotics used in Australia are for agriculture use - what a shocking amount!). And that is because animals, who are #sentient, conscious, and intelligent, are stuck in horrid conditions, surrounded by their own shit. 💩

    Thank you to #abcAustralia for showing the report that was commissioned by #AnimalsAustralia. I hope it leads to more people choosing a kinder, nicer, way of life. 🌱

  15. Last night, #AnimalsAustralia launched another great tv ad titled "Be their hero".

    Here it is for those not in Australia or who have missed it:

    animalsaustralia.org/take-acti

    Inspired by a telephone company ad (I have seen it done for both New Zealand and Ireland), it features Davo and the little piglet Tottie, with more of their adventures to surely come. 🐖🐗🐷

    Thank you Animals Australia. Keep up the excellent work for the animals!

  20. "Pigs can get very panicked and they're not being mistreated but some are just nervy pigs."

    No shit, how the hell would you feel if you knew you were about to be killed in a gas chamber. 🤬😤 This is the reason why #vegans get so annoyed with some people, with stupid comments like this.

    The reason why gas chambers are used is of course because it's cheaper. Make no mistake, it has nothing to do with the thoughts or feelings of the pig in question.

  25. The news story about the #pigs being gassed has now been picked up by #TheGuardian, adding that #Woolworths and #Coles supply their pigs from the abattoir (AKA: slaughterhouse, nice try with the French origin word to soften the image) that these pigs were killed in the gas chambers (which are perfectly legal, they keep reminding us).

  30. Last night, me and my best friend watched 'Stunned', a short story on #ABC730 about how #pigs in #Australia are sent to gas chambers to be killed. They are then cut up and turned into food that normal people eat every single day. The scenes were horrific, and I applaud #abcAustralia for showing the footage before most kids bed time.

    My best friend, who has been awakened to all the cruelty and suffering that is done to these pigs and other defenseless animals long before me, watched it with a numb sensation, whereas I imagine most people (that simply don't know that this is what happens every single day), may find the footage shocking. I couldn't help but sob and whimper, ashamed of myself for being a part of this system for so long.

    I invite you all to watch it:

    abc.net.au/news/2023-03-27/ani

    The blurb says it well:

    "Australians are a nation of meat lovers, but many of us never stop to think about how the animals we eat live or die. Tonight, we bring you never before seen footage that shows the method used to slaughter the vast majority of pigs in Australia.

    It's hard to watch but also hard to ignore. As Lauren Day reports, none of what you're about to see is illegal except for the actions of those who filmed it and a warning, it contains footage some viewers may find confronting."

    Thank you to ABC, #AnimalsAustralia, and #FarmTransparencyProject, for showing us this footage.
