Every bite of cheese – a mother’s baby was taken and made veal. That’s not fair or nice. After she’s had so many babies she can no longer stand, she’s meat. That’s cruel. And cheese increases risk of cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer’s.
#womensrights for #allspecies
Mom and #MobWife of #TheSopranos Edie Falco has something to show you about cheese 💔🐄 Don’t miss her in our new #SuperBowl ad.
Soooooo much love 💕 here. Every morning this is the routine. I love them more than is comfortable. #cat #gingercats #truelove #adoptdontshop #siblings

Does anyone in LA have a decent back with great customer service?? Help!
Well I’ve finally been forced to leave #wellsfargo after yet another nightmare. I know they’re a big bad bank however I’ve been with them for three decades and had a lovely lady there, who’s now left.
I also bank with my credit union but that’s a very very limited bank with what they can do in every respect.
My first Wells Fargo nightmare was when they allowed a contractor to pay his bill to Home Depot out of my account as I had written him a check. He used my account number to pay all his bills online and there was absolutely no safe guards on my Wells Fargo account 😳😳😳😳. AND they took zero responsibility until I hired a lawyer & then I was paid back. When I asked the senior Wells Fargo investigator “so anyone I wrote a check to can pay his bills from my accounts?” He said, “well…yes”.
They don’t have the software to detect that I am not sam trout! (The person who stole from me)
This is when I moved some accounts to the credit union. But that has been exceedingly challenging.
So now today I wake up to all my accounts being closed and my money being held!!! Wtf?!?!
I called & a very nice woman in canada says that they don’t have my correct address. My head nearly exploded as I changed addresses three years ago & have called and faxed & emailed about this for THREE YEARS!!! AND even better they do have my correct address!!! They kept sending me letters saying, “we don’t have your correct address”. And I kept writing back saying, “you do, I got the letter!!!” I called, I mailed, I faxed & they closed my accounts and the lady confirmed that THEY HAD MY CORRECT ADDRESS.
But because,buried somewhere deep in WF programming they still had my old address, where I could not see it and also no one I had called could who works there, they closed all my accounts & I have no money & no bank accounts now. All my auto pays and auto drafts will bounce because I have to wait for them to send me checks of my balances!!!
I was with WF for three decades
I’m venting in the hopes anyone at Wells Fargo will see this and also yo warn you all. #wellsfargo #wellsfargobank
Almost all my kids. (Jasper bullies the dogs so if he were here the dogs wouldn’t have been 🤣). @cesarsway does this qualify as #calmsurrender 🙏🥰 #dogsandcatslivingtogether #adoptdontshop puppies adopted from @kittenxlady @orphankittenclub @iamthecatphotographer
Yup. I started a @tiktok just to post videos of my dog chewing on my cat. There is no defense as when I see this (all day every day) I’m a puddle every time. This new TikTok feed: SammyLovesHobart will be free of all seriousness – 100% sentient marshmallow and an orphaned cat.

I wonder, would we all also risk our lives to save a Friend? Food for thought and maybe thought about who is food.🤷♀️
@waynehhsiung 🚀💡A brave rooster saving his friend leads to a groundbreaking discovery: they possess self-awareness! #chicken #chickenlover #endspecism #veganfortheanimals #veganfortheplanet #veganforanimals
This man has led a very unusual life and writes about it so well with such depth. I appreciate his feed so much.
Man lives in a mind dominated world, where the mind is in the drivers seat, and we sit with our hearts in the back of the bus not even knowing where we are, what we are, much less who we Truly are. This creates so much waste, suffering, cruelty, stupidity, pollution and destruction. I wish we could wake up to what we are.
Repost @drsteveboyes
It’s MAD, “Mutually Assured Destruction”. The threat of nuclear war annihilating both attacker and defender has kept us safe for generations. In our madness, we want pleasure without pain, wealth without poverty, health without sickness, action without effort, output without input, knowledge without learning, knowing without experience. Detached from reality, tired and worn out by worry and anxiety, we live on the edge of extinction.
In striving to make the world a better place, we have done incalculable damage to Earth’s ecosystems. Compelling ourselves by law to be superficially good and healthy has manifest more problems than solutions. Technologies like penicillin, dams, plastics, DDT, CFCs, nuclear power, industrial farming, and air travel have improved our lives immeasurably, but are taking away our basic freedoms. A tree isn’t made of wood, it is wood. We are the same.
We have been interfering with a complex system of relationships that we don’t understand. The more we study and model ecological systems, the more their true nature eludes us. As we try to comprehend and control the natural world it runs further away from us, or dwindles before we could know it. We have discovered that by watching an atom we change its behaviour and by observing galaxies they run away from us…?

There are five isolated places in the world where people don’t get sick and live to 100 at a much much higher rate. #bluezones – @danbuettner has spent decades studying what these places have in common. Follow him for recipes and the ways to increase your life span and feel better!

I have found that we don’t glorify human powers living in the wild. You don’t think of yourself as being in control. Creation, evolution, natural selection didn’t culminate, didn’t reach its zenith, with us. In the wilderness, it never occurs to you that you might be able to rule nature. All you want to do is learn about its ways and be part of it; honour the elephant, lion, leopard, python, and crocodile.
Modern society strives to dominate nature. I am an emissary, a scientist sent out on expedition to discover nature’s secrets. In space telescopes, particle accelerators, genomic studies, eDNA, and remote sensing satellites, we devote our greatest human efforts to the discovery of the secrets of the universe and the true nature of reality. In the wild, we busy ourselves classifying and categorizing all life to own its future.
Human beings resent the existence of arbitrary powers beyond us. Palaeontology is proof that our attempts to dominate nature will be futile. The “wilderness mind”, our true human nature, is an attitude of quiet surrender to the capriciousness of chance. Wild life is a powerful surrender to the fragility of all human endeavours and to the provisional nature of our assumptions about the world.
The human experience in the wild reminds us of the importance of adaptability, resilience, and acceptance when navigating the uncertainties of life. The unpredictable and often whimsical nature of random events has significant impacts on us, our plans, and the world around us. Magic is the science of nature. Living in the wilderness you are humbled by nature’s unpredictability.
In wild experience, you begin to understand that what’s going on inside your mind, “I”, is really everything going on outside. You become the direct experience of every living creature, the sound of the birds, and the tracks and signs of all life. You are the fire, wind, and water, and the earth between your toes. You realize that all things change, there is nothing to hold onto, and death is part of living. There’s nothing to fear. All you need is love in the eternal now. In the wilderness, the art of living well and the art of dying well are inseparable.

“a prejudice or attitude of bias in favour of the interests of members of one’s own species and against those of members of other species” – Is speciesism. It’s the Same as racism and Sexism. It gives the right to treat someone else worse than you would want to be treated – because “they” are less than you. It breaks the Golden Rule. This is why I stopped using other species for my preferences. I realized I could not say I’m for women’s rights and make another female be raped by a farmer’s arm, give birth and kill her babies and then kill her, for a latte- and call my self an animal lover. I also discovered later that soy can save my life and dairy could end it.
Eating plant based means you want to be healthier for you and the planet as the science has irrefutably concluded you will live better and longer. Being vegan is a philosophy of moral rights, for my own species and also for others.
In all areas – what I want for me and my loved ones I have to want for others. Not always easy as if I want to practice my faith (that makes sense to me) I have to allow others to practice their faiths (that I think are 🥜). Not easy.
Animal rights however is easy! I want to live, not be raped and impregnated by another species to make money for him, or have my babies killed or be killed to make money for him. Nothing is hard about being vegan! Nothing!!! Don’t let your mind trick you in to thinking it’s hard in any way. It is not hard.
For me to save lives in Gaza right now is impossible, and heart breaking! For me to save lives at lunch in 10 minutes takes almost no effort whatsoever. My. CAt is purring on my chest as I type (see my stories) and I would not eat him or any other cat, dog, horse (animals I’ve known) so why would I eat any other non human animal just because it’s not the same species as I am??? Habit? That’s the reason the suffering of billions of sentient non human animals continues. Habit. How heart breaking. 💔
✨don’t break hearts, break habits and save the world!!! 🩷❤️🧡🖤🩶🤎🤍

@shailenewoodley visited @zakouma_national_park in Chad, which was recently featured in @BBCEarth. Shailene and BBC Planet Earth III cameraman Toby Strong, help tell the story of Zakouma’s transformation through their own eyes, as well as with conversations with a local guide, Brahmin Arabi.
Shailene said “I think it’s really inspiring when you hear stories of destruction and then you come to a place and see how much it’s thriving and how beautiful it is”. Toby continued “Everywhere we go [in Zakouma] we meet heroes, local people, who are laying their lives on the line to protect their little bit of nature, their wild animals. There are Zakouma’s all over this earth of impassioned, local people who need to be championed and supported”. Brahim who has been working as a local guide over the years said “The nature is a holding source of the country. But we need someone to look after it and keep it safe. The people feel safe. The elephants feel safe”.
African Parks entered into a long-term agreement with the government of Chad to manage @zakouma_national_park in 2010. Since that time, poaching has nearly been eliminated and for the first time in decades the elephant population (as well as for other key species) is on the rise, jobs have been created, schools have been built, and stability radiates from the park.

This man cured his diabetes and high blood pressure with diet alone after a genetic and long history of disease. And has never felt better. We are what we eat. Something your doctor does not know about.
Type 2 diabetic Bryn Scola, a former “meat & potatoes guy,” had two heart attacks, six stents placed in his chest, and a five-way bypass operation before making the decision to go plant-based. Today, he is heart-healthy and diabetes-free.
A plant-based vegan diet is proven to reduce the risks of certain diseases like heart disease, strokes, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer.
🌱 Take action for your health today, by trying a plant-based vegan challenge this New Year. Sign up and watch the full film in the @GenV_ENG bio link.
