A thread about being extreme.

What does it mean?

noun
1. either of two abstract things that are as different from each other as possible

As a vegan I have been called extreme.

I cannot comprehend this when what non vegans do to sentient life in their billions is so extreme. Image
I have also been called extreme by other vegans.

I am against ‘vegan washing’ by unethical deforesting corporate giants claiming they have created a vegan product. Any company that deforests & uses child labour is not vegan for me & many others.

Image
There is a reality here

We have one earth & we are destroying it because the human species is so greedy

We have created objects that pollute & do not biodegrade for 100s of years

We even throw millions of tones of our excrement into our oceans

We are now facing climate extremes.

The biosphere & all biodiversity is under threat from our species.

We all know the story and we all wait for governments to act but they never do & why?

Because they all have their fingers in the consumerism pie. Image
So what can we do?

Do we just sit and wait?

We do not have long to act & to change.

Greta is far more eloquent than I will ever be so I will leave this part to her.

I am planting trees & have already planted hundreds 🌳🌳

Plus I am supporting 91 pigs who have been saved from the hell of a pig unit. Because I too once supported this horror by eating them.

We must see life & we must cherish every expression of it

We must join all of the dots > . > . > .

We have only one home 🌍

All life is sacred 🦋

We must change our behaviour 💗

We must unite to create the alternatives 🌳 Image
Please also support others who are doing such great work.

This is Sasha Bennett who have saved all of the afore mentioned pigs.

She is an inspiring pioneer. Life is life & these lives are now all free.

A 🧵

There have been lots of debates recently about the meaning of Veganism.

Sadly many people still think Veganism is a diet.

Others think that Veganism is only about ending the farming of animals for food products.

But Veganism is much more than this. #mondaythoughts Image
Veganism recognises that all creatures are sentient & that every living creature has the right to live their life free from exploitation, persecution & suffering.

#veganism #Sentience Image
When we know this fact & we fully see the lives that suffer at the hand of humans, we change & we become empathic to those individuals & their lives.

We evolve and denounce anthropocentrism & speciesism. Image

A 🧵

Humans, Humans, Humans, there is no time to think!

The human population is going to reach 8 BILLION by the end of September.

Here are some facts about our species 👇
There are on average about 250 human babies born every minute – more than 130 million in a year.

It is projected that there will be 11 billion people by 2100.
120 of our species die every minute globally. That is 7425 each hour, 178,000 each day & 65 million people each year.

A 🧵

The days are passing by & have you noticed that our governments only care about our species.

Growth & tax cuts but nothing about climate breakdown & how 1 million species are facing extinction. Image
Humans are so selfish and greedy.

Our needs and wants are more important than the survival of anybody else. Image
We don't seem to see or care that our choices is destroying the homes of others.

We even want our toilet seats & coffins to be made from rainforest timber. Image

1. This egg is 'chipping' If you look closely you can see the egg tooth of the little chick inside. The egg tooth is at the tip of all babies beaks and helps them break free from the shell.

This egg is in an incubator.

A thread about life and death. #Christmas #GoVegan
2. The little chick inside the egg rotates around the egg until he or she has made a removable lid. They are clever little babies & they cheep to call to their mums all through this process.
3. Then with wriggling and pushing suddenly she/he experiences the outside world for the first time.

Hello little chick 😍

Sometimes in life we have to take a huge giant leap of faith.

We don't know what's on the other side but we jump anyway.

A thread:
Many of us play safe. We are comfortable and secure.

We have all the bills paid & a cupboard well stocked.

Many others have nothing and have no idea where their next meal is coming from. They are cold & displaced.
Most of us have absolutely no concept of real hardship.

I am surrounded by animal farming.

The red mark on this sheep has been left by a device attached to the ram to show that she has been impregnated.

Please read 🙏

#tuesdaymotivations
So much of the worlds land in covered with animal farming.

Some of them are small.
Some of them are huge and these ones even have their own slaughter areas with toxic lakes full of blood and runoff.

The tiny black dots are cattle.
