#antispeciesism — Public Fediverse posts

International Animal liberation dinner after the Effective altruism Nordics conference in Stockholm at the vegan restaurant Verte.

Being surrounded by antispeciesists who work in the academia and genuinely want to make the world a better place for animals, through their publications and educative talks is so refreshing.

I just managed to create a post on my website, for the podcast:

https://ethosandempathy.org/en/2026/04/04/participation-in-the-podcast-last-fireflies/

In the following months I will set up a new website, focusing on my grief work, but for now, I share on Ethos & Empathy all my work.

Interesting and insightful seminar today in Lund University, hosted by the Department of Critical animal studies.

The subject of the seminar was based on the new book by academic Chiara Stefanoni "The human and the meat". Here's a link for the book:

https://www.adlibris.com/sv/bok/the-human-and-the-meat-9783837679571

Description of the book:

"Over 85 billion animals are killed in slaughterhouses annually to sustain a profit-driven meat production system - devastating animals, workers, and the environment. How did we get here? How has capitalist society reshaped human-animal relations? Elaborating a novel materialist and intersectional framework, Chiara Stefanoni conceptualizes the social form of human-animal relations and its centrality within the interconnected structure of domination in capitalist societies, especially in relation to gender and class. Through a historical analysis of industrial slaughterhouses, the study reveals how the human/animal divide and meat-based diet are not timeless facts, but concrete social solutions crucial for the reproduction of capitalist society."

Why is beekeeping unethical?

No, what gives any animal intrinsic moral worth is preference of experience, which is a mental state that depends on sentience. Plants have no nervous system, no sentience, no preferences.

"I got a disease the other day and I was going to go to the doctor until I realised its the circle of life and death and decomposition is a natural part of the food chain. It would be ridiculous to go and stop all disease in nature that would be bad for the environment because it would cause overpopulation. So I'm going to do the natural and sustainable thing and let myself die"

This is how a lot of carnists sound.

Life and death of other animals is in our hands, and we have a unique responsibility to wield that power with care and selflessness

You can't change nature.

The first "bug" was a bug who was killed in an early computer's relay flipping the bit and confusing the programmers. This is usually told as a cute & whimsical story but as an antispeciesist vegan I think it should be told as a tragedy. We talk about "squashing" software bugs the same way we talk about exterminating real bugs, framing bugs as nothing more than a nuisance to our work when it was the original bug who lost the most.

Bull fighting is disgusting heartless violence where a bull is physically tortured until they fight back and are killed for sport

Rodeos are disgusting heartless violence where a bull is physically tortured until they fight back and are ridden for sport

Culture never justifies abuse

You are responsible for being better than the culture that you were raised in

Veganism is about equal rights and justice

"I'm not vegan 24/7 and thats ok"
=
"I dont respect women 24/7 and thats ok"
=
"I'm not antiracist 24/7 and thats ok"
=
"I don't support lgbt 24/7 and thats ok"

Whatever justification you think you have to force innocent animals to be separated from their families, their sexual organs exploited for milk and eggs and killed at a fraction of their lifespan to profit from their dead body, just remember: from the victims perspective they don't give a shit what your justification is and neither would you if you were in their shoes

See their suffering and make the connection: https://nationearth.com

Speciesism is an intersectional issue

Racist, colonial patriarchal and ableist attitudes inform humans treatment of non-human animals even in so-called "humane" slaughter

"They're fundamentally not like us so its ok"

"If we didn't do it to them they'd do it to us"

"The logic of reality necessitates the strong dominate the weak, by exploiting them we are just ensuring our own survival"

"They wouldn't make use of rights like we can"

"They're worth as much as I can extract from their breasts or eggs, if they're not profitable to keep alive then they'll have to pay with their flesh"

"The problem with them being injured is they become less economically productive"

"Without our exploitation they would be lost, they're actually better off for being part of this system"

"Their brains are fundamentally incapable of higher level emotions" (pseudoscientific nonsense mirroring race science, emotions are not fully understood in humans let alone different ways they might manifest in other brains)

When we excuse these lines of thoughts to justify our exploitation of non-human animals it creeps into our thoughts on other issues, an injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere

Fundamentally antispeciesism and veganism is about antioppression, equality and justice and a right to health, life, movement, association etc for all sentient beings

This is all I could come up with in about 5m comment more examples below if you want

"We force animals to adapt to the constraints of farming modelled on the mass production of manufactured goods, whereas farming should respect the ethological needs of animals. This is a transgression because we grant ourselves an absolute right that we do not have. This violence towards animals is a condemnation of us. Yet our relationship with animals could be an opportunity to think about a way of inhabiting the Earth that makes coexistence with other species possible. This requires new foundations for ethics and politics."

Mahayana Refuge:
I go for refuge until I am enlightened
to the Buddha, the Dharma and the Supreme Assembly.
Through the merit of practising generosity and so on,
May I become a Buddha for the benefit of all beings

Bodhicitta:
May all sentient beings have happiness and its causes, may all sentient beings be free of suffering and its causes, may they be inseparable from the sublime happiness which is beyond sorrow, may all sentient beings abide in equanimity, free of bias, attachment and anger.

Shantideva Prayer:
May I become at all times, both now and forever
A protector of those without protection
A guide for those who have lost their way
A ship for those with oceans to cross
A bridge for those with rivers to cross
A sanctuary for those in danger
A lamp for those without light
A place of refuge for those who lack shelter
And a servant to all in need
For as long as space endures,
And for as long as living beings remain,
Until then may I, too, abide
To dispel the misery of the world.

Biography:
I am a happily married English Buddhist, 68 years old, living these past 38 years in Slovenia. I was raised a Catholic and attended a Jesuit school but lost my faith in God when I was 15. After graduating in Industrial Engineering I traveled overland along the old hippie trail to India in search of answers to the pain I felt in the world. I encountered Buddhism in Dharamsala, home-in-exile of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Back in London I joined Sogyal Rinpoche's Rigpa group in 1981 and started practicing the Dharma.

I have been a production assistant in London, bartender in Hong Kong, English teacher in South Korea, planning engineer in London and Fife, Scotland, and a development engineer, planner, import-export agent and translator in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Besides being interested in living mindfully and preserving the Buddha Dharma, I am also an advocate of democracy, peace, non-violence, human and animal rights, a free Tibet, a democratic Burma, the right of Palestinians to a homeland, the prevention of human trafficking, gender equality, LGBTQI rights worldwide, veganism, the abolition of capital punishment, amnesty to prisoners of conscience, etc. I am also interested in supporting poverty alleviation and humanitarian work of any kind as well as sustainable development, education, protection of the environment and mental health and other health issues.

My Dharma practice comprises keeping the five precepts (mind trainings) for a lay Buddhist and practicing the six perfections (far-reaching practices) of Mahayana Buddhism - generosity, ethical conduct, forbearance, perseverance, concentration and, wisdom - as an aspiring Bodhisattva. I also like to consider myself a "socially engaged Buddhist" with my principle outlet being a keyboard campaigner for human, animal and environmental causes on social media and a vegan/animal rights activist locally.

As a part of keeping the five precepts, I practice veganism to the best of my ability and to the forefront of my practice I try to generate beginner's mind (don't know mind) as well as loving kindness and compassion both towards self and others.

Besides my favourite practice tonglen, my meditation these days is primarily of the analytical kind but always includes understanding that firstly, everyone wants to be be happy and avoid suffering and secondly, everyone has shown kindness to me in this life and past lives.

Politically I support The Green Party of England and Wales, the European Greens, American Democratic Socialists and the Levica (Left) Party in Slovenia

I am a vegan and don't smoke, drink alcohol or do drugs.

With my Slovene wife, Mojca, we have a son, Tom, now aged 37.

I would like to share with you my vegan story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOlKvg0NbT4

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.

Between the beginning of 2017 and November 2020, we, #antispeciesist #activists, exfiltrated more than a hundred #hens from the farm of Domaine du Mesnil Saint-Martin (SCEA des Tuileries).

The video we just released was made during a rescue (between September 2020 and November 2020)
