On #WorldMilkDay (June 1) the dairy industry tells you that human beings need to drink the milk of another species in order to be healthy. Milk production requires young cows, which are taken away from their mother, and - if they are male - killed for meat. Just drink plant milk

Er is geen enkel excuus voor wrede behandeling van dieren.

Incredible how we lock up thousands of these creatures worldwide...

I'm sorry I couldn't save you 🥺 They took the only thing that you owned: your precious life. You were more than a property and a slave. We see you. We remember you. We keep fighting for animal liberation for as long as our hearts still beat ❤️ ✌️ Joey Carbstrong

Beste Bruno Vanspauwen / wijnkanaal.be / vierbordjes.be en De Standaard De Standaard Opinie, een beleefde suggestie: waarom niet gewoon, wanneer dat er is, het plantbased menu van een restaurant kiezen voor je recensie, in plaats van het dier- of klimaatonvriendelijke? Goed voorbeeld voor de lezers. Dank.

"Mankind's true moral test, its fundamental test (...), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals. And in this respect mankind has suffered a fundamental debacle, a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it." RIP #milankundera

Terwijl andere universiteiten zich engageren om nog meer of zelfs helemaal plantbased te gaan, zet de Universiteit Gent een stap terug in haar vegetarisch aanbod. Hoe kan dat? UGent, Rik Van de Walle vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2023…

Have you noticed how just about anybody brings up the term "ultra-processed" when you talk about meat alternatives these days? That's a word that's being whispered in our ears by the meat industry, as this interesting article explains. linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

Kalfjes worden in de zuivel-industrie onmiddellijk van de moeder gescheiden, omdat de melk uiteraard voor de mensen is. Op de #dagvandelandbouw georganiseerd door Boerenbond, zette een beperkt aantal boerderijen hun deuren open, en werd de argeloze consument danig misleid...

Calves are separated from their mother on day one because... the milk is for humans!

The amounts of animals we are killing for food *every single day* ourworldindata.org/how-many-anima…

Every year, a staggering 18 billion animals are killed that do NOT end up on our plate, say researchers at Leiden University. That's 16 BN male chicks, 300 MLN pigs, 400 ML turkeys, 195 MLN sheep and 189 MLN goats. They died for no reason. universiteitleiden.nl/en/news/2023/1…

Of all the arguments that people who eat meat say to vegans in order to defend eating animals, this is no doubt the worst: "Live and let live."

these birds are "too tasty too fly" Maybe you are too nasty to be in this business.

Is the animal rights movement too left-leaning to be successful? My new substack post addresses the question of how we can be successful in an ever more right-of-center political climate. tobiasleenaert.substack.com/p/helping-anim…

More land animals than ever before are slaughtered for meat— Global livestock numbers — tracked by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization since 1961 — have surged, with particularly large increases in the number of chickens, pigs, sheep, goats, and cows. For many land
