IT'S VEGANUARY !!
:vegan-edge: :vegan-edge: :vegan-edge: :vegan-edge: :vegan-edge: :vegan-edge: :vegan-edge:
the best time of year to start giving a shit about non-human animals
"Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment."
🐮 Cows deserve to live their full lifespan
🐷 Pigs deserve a life free from exploitation
🐔 Chickens deserve a life free from genetic manipulation
If you've got any basic questions or concerns about veganism, !vegan@hexbear.net has a megathread devoted to that sort of discussion!

you've passed the first step. dont stop there, reject carnism :vegan-edge:
Nah, fuck preachy vegans. Animals aren't people.
I'm not a vegan or vegetarian, but given that all bigotry and oppression has some root in dehumanization (talking about the rhetoric used to justify it), it seems good and useful to directly undercut that by valuing non-human animals and lifeforms more broadly.
Animals aren't people, so we should probably be better than animals.
