Breaking: We’ve defeated the first Canadian ag gag law in court!

Who are the humans most affected by animal farming? Listen to today’s episode for details. By @moncktonvalerie @sentient_media @anabrdly #vegan #plantbased #plantbasedbriefing #slaughterhouse #exploitedlabor #slaughterhouseworkers chrt.fm/track/D16276/t…

Nothing luxurious about caviar.

The IWC considers entanglement in fishing gear to be the most significant threat to wild cetacean welfare. At least 83% of identified North Atlantic Right Whales gave been entangled. #science #marinelife #animalwelfare

One of the things that makes marine ecology difficult is how hard it is to obtain independent data. For so many things, the fishing industry is the only source and it turns out they’re just straight-up lying all the time. We have no idea what’s really going on out there.

The Food and Agriculture Organization misused my research to publish findings with a pro-meat bias ⚠️ The organization has been outdoing itself to distort the impacts of dietary change on the environment 🧵 theguardian.com/environment/20…

🚨 BREAKING: It’s official—the ban on undercover investigations in Ontario has been lifted! A judge has signed an order invalidating the ag gag law after a recent ruling that struck it down as unconstitutional. #StopAgGagLaws animaljustice.ca/blog/investiga…

Eating a vegan, vegetarian or lacto-ovo vegetarian diet significantly reduces the overall risk of developing cancer, heart disease and dying early from cardiovascular disease, according to a new “umbrella” analysis of more than 20 years of research. cnn.com/2024/05/15/hea…

Fish and chips is shark meat, by the way. Cod are collapsed in both the North Atlantic and North Pacific. They’re selling you spiny dogfish, school shark, even scalloped hammerhead. Fried fish filets are basically an endangered species roulette. publish.csiro.au/MF/MF23198

I’m on a shipwreck in the Florida Keys, 6 miles offshore and 100 feet underwater. All the megafauna are maimed and mangled with hooks. This reef shark has one in her cheek. She’s dragging at least 10 feet of fishing line.

As pride month closes, let’s remember what biology teaches us about sex and gender: >1/4 of all reef fish change sex. Some male cuttlefish present as females. Walruses have more gay intercourse than straight. To claim nature validates social gender norms is wildly ascientific.
