Yesterday, activists with Australian based Farm Transparency Project and Dominion Movement chained themselves to a CO2 gas chamber at Benalla slaughterhouse in Northern Victoria. They're calling on ministers of ag Gayle Tierney MP & @murraywatt to ban gas chambers. #AnimalRights

HORRIFYING! At least 18,000 individuals were killed in an explosion at a dairy farm in Texas. With no way out, they burned to death. #nomorefactoryfarms #MILK

"Abuse one animal, and you can be charged with a felony; abuse a million, and you have a business model." The animal exploitation industries are exempt from our cruelty laws. It's time we remove those exemptions. #yesonip3 nytimes.com/2023/04/15/opi…

Calves are dying from the cold, and yet somehow this isn't considered criminal animal neglect. Our initiative would change that. If we bring these animals into the world, it is our job to keep them safe from harm. #yesonip3 opb.org/article/2023/0…

We will either act to show that our moral capacity reaches as far as to control our technical capacity to destroy, or that it does not. ~Noam Chomsky We don't need to edit the genes of animals to escape catastrophe, we need to stop killing them. opb.org/article/2023/0…

VICTORY! The initiative to ban concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) has qualified for the ballot in Sonoma County with over 25,000 valid signatures. County residents will be able to vote to protect animals, the planet, and their communities from the harms of factory

Imagine a world, where animals are free...

We might not post as often, but we've been hard at work collecting signatures! After only three weeks into our new petitioning cycle, we collected over 10,000 signatures. With 23 months remaining, we're confident 2026 will be the year animal liberation is on the ballot in Oregon.

"For an issue like animal rights, which is almost completely ignored by politicians, mainstream media, and even other social justice movements, ballot measures are a powerful tactic to put the issue on the table."

I have seen animals in the moments before slaughter - shuddering as they await the blade. And that will NEVER be ok. Even one violent death is one too many. We should say this. Because it's in our hearts. Because it's true. And because heartfelt truths can change everything.

What if #AnimalRights activists went all out: proposed a ban on killing #animals? That's David Michelson's goal via Oregon's IP28🗳️ Join David-- and 5 other ballot-initiative Campaign Leaders-- on Dec. 5th, as he describes the idealism driving him and his plans to make it happen.

26 states have citizen-initiated ballots/referenda. If citizens propose a law and collect enough signatures, their idea can be placed on next election's ballot for everyone to consider. Your state isn't listed? No worries! Cities & counties have ballot box initiatives too. 🧵1/3

Could rats soon have better access to birth control than women? Well, let's hope everyone can have access! NY is testing a pilot program that is more humane for everyone and for the sake of all animals, we hope this becomes the norm and all rodenticides and traps are banned.
