I am full of tears today as during the storm last night a pine martin ended the lives of 4 of my old rescued chickens. They were all 8-10 years old & semi wild. There is one very scared hen left & I must catch her today & keep her safe tonight 😢 Image
I feel heartbroken because they have blessed my life for a while. I let them become wild & free.

I love all animals & I think of the chickens that are tortured every day as I lay mine under a tree in their final resting place. Image
For those of you who really know me you will know that today my heart hurts more than it did yesterday & all the other days gone before.

This is why I am here. This is why my whole life is about trying to end suffering. Image
For me it is not just about the animals being exploited for our greed. It is about the wild animals and the earth too. Everything is connected.

We are connected & we as a compassionate group of people can change things. We only have to believe that we can. Image
I believe in all of you & if you believe in me then please join me in believing that we can do something more to help save lives.

We have a chance to take a patch of land from dairy & give it back so let's do it.

For all the lives we have lost 💗

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: Image
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. Image
Most of us have absolutely no concept of real hardship. Image

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

Some of them are small. Image
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. Image

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

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've got to live with you till the end
Because a human cruelly killing
Locked us in while they were sleeping.
And the vision of the sunshine and the rain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

(Thread words by @kirthurgan please read )
In restless dreams I walked alone
Bloodstained floors, and screams of pain
'Neath the blowtorch and the shame
I turned my back on cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by flash of light
They slit my throat
And touched the sound of silence
And in the blowtorch light, I saw
A hundred pigs dead on the floor
Piggies screaming without sound
Piggies dying to be found
Piggies speaking truths that they
Knew would never see the light of day
And no one cared
To hear the sound of silence

This image is disgusting & lets face it it is something from hell. Live pigs walking among dead sheep waiting to be killed.

The arrow points to one of the rescued #53Pigs .This is thought to be Gandalf who is still terrified of humans.

Please read on...
Every day we are posting out this incredible story because it needs to be seen and held up as a wonderful victory, in all that we fight to end.

Rescuing a total of 91 pigs is not something small.

What Sasha @BTWsanctuary has done is HUGE
Right now as I type this Sasha will be either lugging straw, gallons of water or bags of feed.

Each day the same & relentless. An average of 18 hours a day for the next 15 yrs or more.

She even makes time to try to get to know each one.
