Dear vegans

A thread.

Every day we fight to end animal suffering.

Meat eaters say ‘but if we did not eat animals we would either be overrun or they would go extinct. We know this story.
So what is the reality?

We know they would no longer be bred and supply would go down.
But what of those who are left and those who are rescued and taken to safety?
Here we have a story of 91 pigs who were saved. We all mostly know this story by now. #53Pigs & their #53piglets

How many of us think about how to feed all these beautiful creatures?

These are the lucky ones.
We have hatched a plan.

In many ways this plan is a prototype for many others that will hopefully follow if we can manage to save & give freedom to more incarcerated animals.
Nobody loses their shirt with this plan because it is about the many giving a tiny amount. An amount that we would spend on a bar of chocolate or some other quickly consumed item, without a single thought.
In this case we have called the plan The Pigoneer 2000 club. 1 because it is about rescued pigs and 2 because it is pioneering.

We need 2000 of us just donating £2.50 a month to ensure these previously terrified pigs have the food they need every month. Nobody is making any money here as this is all about Altruism, compassion and about all of these pigs.

So will join me and all the others to build to 2000 members and let’s get these pigs fed for the rest of their lives?

And finally. I would like to say here that what Sasha has done at BTW is HUGE.

Imagine for just a minute what feeding 91 pigs looks like every single day.

I don't think I could do what she has done. My hat is off to Sasha & her courage because it is rare.

A thread... I know that many people out there will be thinking... Oh no is this Gina asking for money again🙄. I know that many just ignore my messages & scroll past. That's ok. The likes and retweets on the whole go to food & fluffyness or horrific images.
It is understandable in many ways because we want to see nice things and we want to eat nice food. This is juxtaposed to sending out the horror of the industry that is so disturbing lets face it it keeps many of us awake at night.
While all this is going on there are others out there doing other incredible things. There are those on the front line at live exports and there are those that are infiltrating farms to take footage like the great Jo Anne McArthur.

Hi all. You may have heard that the Highlands hit some extremely low temperatures. 2 nights ago it was minus 21.6 and i have to say the worst night of my life. I have never been so cold. Not good living in a caravan in these temperatures. Yesterday I could hardly move.🥶
I felt so wiped out and it was like my blood had frozen. I could not focus and felt like had been sedated. This got worse throughout the day. I now realise that I just experienced hypothermia. My body hurt and my mind felt fogged.
I want to say thank you for all those who have been worried. I feel very touched by this and reading some messages this morning. Today its just minus 4 so basically it feels warm. My body still feels a bit weird but nothing like yesterday.

Why I am disgusted by the human species.

Speciesism Part 2: Marine Life

It is estimated that up to 3 trillion fish are caught from the wild & killed globally every year: This doesn’t include the billions of fish that are farmed. Fish account for 40% of animal products consumed
Fish farming is forecast to overtake wild-caught fish production in 2021: For context, farmed fish accounts for 70% of all farmed animals worldwide. This presents a host of problems. For example, shrimp farming has led to the destruction of three million acres of coastal wetlands
Like all captivity of sentient life fish farming is creating disease. This ends up in the wider ecosystem damaging and polluting wildlife.

Why I feel disgusted with the human species.

1. Speciesism

Humans have turned sentient life into products. Here are a few who we exploit, torture and execute.
Land Animals bred for food:

It is estimated between 70-100 billion land animals are bred to be brutally slaughtered every single year

Chickens:

Chickens are the biggest victim in this masacre at approx 66 billion a year.

Pigs:

Second in line are pigs. 1.5-2 billion pigs are killed for food each year.
