We scream in agony every minute. We plea for mercy. You’ve been taught to ignore our screams by merciless people who profit from our agony. What will it take to make you caring people actually care? We are #OneBillionScreams We are Ground Zero: One Billion Screams
Your laws, your economy, your ideology of anthropocentrism, all collude to make us all but invisible. Yet here we are. Here we exist in spite of your edifice, resisting it every day. We are #OneBillionScreams We are Ground Zero: One Billion Screams
We don't go to our deaths happily, as your collective fictions would have it. You brutally slaughter us and then call it "humane," inverting your brutality with a self-ennobling descriptor. We are #OneBillionScreams We are Ground Zero: One Billion Screams
You constructed an oversaturation of forces, attitudes, traditions & beliefs to erase the legitimate interests of us nonhumans & render us unworthy of moral consideration. We resist, we fight, but in merciless disregard, you ignore us. We are #OneBillionScreams Ground Zero: One Billion Screams
Graham 🏴 Use ALT Ground Zero: One Billion Screams Powerful message. Let's make #OneBillionScreams impossible to ignore. Together, we can ensure all beings are heard.
Those who profit from our violent abuse spend inordinate amounts of money to de-incentivise you to think critically & empathically. In egomaniacal self-regard, you willingly succumb to their lies & withhold your compassion. We are #OneBillionScreams We are We Are One Billion Screams
You write paeans to societal progress, but from our perspective, this is far worse than the Dark Ages. An era of unprecedented violence and misery. We are #OneBillionScreams We are We Are One Billion Screams
You run no risk of being born in our place, and so you see this world of omnipresent terror as peripheral, insignificant. How quickly your apathy would turn to alarm if another species visited this on you. We are #OneBillionScreams We are We Are One Billion Screams
You forcibly breed billions of us into existence, only to be violently exploited & killed the moment we reach ‘slaughter weight’ for your needless ends & don’t even question how you came to be conditioned into endorsing such violent cruelty. #OneBillionScreams We Are One Billion Screams
Graham 🏴 Use ALT We Are One Billion Screams #OneBillionScreams
You may claim to be decent people, yet every day in your treatment of us fellow animals, all you prove is your lack of empathy, your refusal to extend compassion, hence your moral corruption, your wilful ignorance & your gross inhumanity We are #OneBillionScreams We Are One Billion Screams
With our torment concealed behind the walls of laboratories, our howls for freedom go unheard. Imagine if the real magnitude of what you do to us suddenly burst forth into your malls and restaurants and plazas. We are #OneBillionScreams We are We Are One Billion Screams
Daily we scream in torment & agony & we resist. You neither hear us nor see the violence inflicted upon us, yet in callous, egomaniacal arrogance you think you’re qualified to rationalise & excuse the atrocities inflicted upon us We are #OneBillionScreams We are We Are One Billion Screams
We do not even count in your war casualties. We are the dogs who were killed by IEDs in Iraq; the birds deformed by your Agent Orange in Vietnam; the horses slashed with whips as you colonized the Americas. We are #OneBillionScreams We are We Are One Billion Screams
Your social order reduces us to hollow abstractions. But know that we cling to life with great ferocity, and that so too will our brethren. Take this as a political demand: we fight for our freedom. We are #OneBillionScreams We are We Are One Billion Screams
