One of the definitions of revolution according to Merriam-Webster, is "a fundamental change in the way of thinking about something." How much better the world would be if society would stop thinking of animals as commodities and chattel and instead see them as the sentient, intelligent, individuals they are - with their own worth apart from their value as objects of exploitation, experimentation, entertainment and agricultural production. Let's make the world a kinder, better place. Be part of the Vegan Revolution. The animals need you. Love, Cowhugger *Thank you to artist/activist/yogi @MaryKolende for sharing this beautiful photo.

It's strange now to remember a time when we celebrated Easter without thought for the millions of animals who suffer because their deaths somehow make Easter gatherings "complete." ๐๐๐๐ฅ We know better now. Each of their lives has value unto themselves and to take that away from them, for a moment upon a plate or as entertainment is truly contemptuous of the gift of life given to each living being. Celebrations are beautiful and special when we focus on the message and respect the lives of others and allow them to live in peace. Peace be with you.๐ Image reposted from @ihblythe #easter #veganlife #ahimsa #lovelifelivevegan #govegan

We know this has been posted many times, but we could watch it over and over.โค๐ฆโค There will have been 46 million of these beautiful beings slaughtered for Thanksgiving alone. Throughout the course of a year, 237 million are killed according to the USDA. There are no protections against cruelty and there is no such thing as humane slaughter. Let's let them live in peace and free from the horrors imposed by humans. They are amazing, intelligent and sensitive animals who communicate with each other through their vocalizations and develop social bonds that last a lifetime. In the wild, they can fly at speeds up to 55mph, mommas remain on the ground to care for their babies until they are able to fly into the trees, and they can memorize details of a 1,000 sq foot area of land. (Thank you @farmsanctuary for the great insights into their unique qualities.) It's so much more gratifying to appreciate, respect and honor these beautiful beings than to deprive them of their lives for a moment of easily-replaceable dining pleasure. There are so many non-animal options that are delicious and no one gets hurt.๐ฑ๐ Pledge to be #Turkeyfree๐ฆ this holiday and always.โ๐ผ Compassion Looks Good On You.

Happy Mothers Day! ๐ A mother's love is tender and fierce; and the bond with her child is inextricably rooted in her heart and soul. Humans do not have exclusive domain over this type of love...animals demonstrate it everyday, and their hearts are broken over and over when their children are stolen from them. Still, these moms continue to love and hope... ๐ Read this beautiful story from @edgarsmission about a mother's love finally fulfilled.๐ Reposted from @edgarsmission Happy Mother's Day love from all of us at Edgar's Mission โค๏ธ๐ฎย Mothers come in all shapes, sizes and species, yet when it comes to their babiesโฆ they love them just the same! โ โOn this Motherโs Day we share with you one of our most touching stories that encompasses so perfectly motherly love โ Finding Valentine. โ โDuring her time on a dairy farm, each of Clarabelleโs babies had been taken from her shortly after birth so her milk could be harvested for human consumption. At the age of eight, when her milk production had waned and she was deemed no longer productive, Clarabelle was slated for slaughter. This is the usual fate of dairy cows, despite their longevity being around 20 years. And to make matters more tragic, Clarabelle was carrying another baby. But then kindness found her and brought her to safety at Edgarโs Mission Farm Sanctuary. One day her behaviour told us that something was amiss, although her baby was not expected for another week. Further investigation revealed that her precious little calf had indeed been born, and Clarabelle had carefully hidden her baby in the tall grassy stand of the paddock. She was determined this one would be โhersโ. Clarabelleโs baby was discovered on Valentineโs Day and was aptly named Valentine in honour of the love between mother cows and their babies. Five years on, Clarabelle can still be seen grooming her sweet daughter, and their bond is as strong as ever. ๐ - #regrann . . #edgarsmission #mothersday #compassion #mom #motherslove #animalmoms #compassionforall #govegan

It's Earth Day๐ 50 years ago, the first Earth Day was organized to call for greater protections for our planet in the face of devastating oil spills, increasing water and air pollution, the impact of toxic pesticides among any other pressing issues. ๐ Here we stand a half century later facing the consequences of not having mobilized sufficient willpower nor effective strategies for arresting and reversing those same issues. As a result, we are witnessing the havoc wrought by climate change and mass extinction events. We are being pummeled by a pathogen born of our infringement into nature and exploitation of it and of its creatures. ๐ We celebrate the wonder and beauty of our earth, but those celebrations are short-lived when the next wave of bad news about our polluted rivers, the disappearing animals on land and sea, the famine faced by millions in other countries, hits our news feed. We are suffering the consequences of not valuing our planet enough, of not valuing the animals that inhabit it as worthy of living their lives without interference from us, of believing we have the right to plunder and destroy ecosystems as we see fit. ๐ The challenges are many but we must take action and we must pay attention. Here in the United States our current administration has made it a priority to roll back environmental protections to benefit the oil, gas, mining and animal agriculture industries. The effects are loss of public lands and polluted rivers, lakes and air that threaten the health of the people and wildlife that live in those area. It has taken aim at the Endangered Species Act and other wildlife protections. It has relinquished any pretense of concern for protections of the oceans or animals that live in it or the animals hunted by its wealthy donors and benefactors. ๐ ๐๐ฝcontinued in comments...

This is so worth sharing... Yesterday, the LA Times published an opinion piece by author and journalist, Peter Lovenheim, who is most definitely not an animal rights activist. ๐ฎ His observation of the lives of dairy cows, while done with the seeming intention of dispassionate observation, could not ignore the cold cruelty imparted on these animals and the unmistakable heartbreak and suffering they are forced to endure. ๐ฎ What he witnesses causes him to declare, "The way we exploit and abuse dairy cows as females can be seen as a feminist issue." ๐ฎ Feminism rings hollow unless we are willing to extend the concern, the effort and the victories of the struggle to all who identify as female and most definitely to all species. ๐ฎ The light we shine into the darkness to illuminate the truth of what is happening to the innocents being exploited for our greed and personal tastes is growing wider and brighter. ๐ฎ Thank you to all of you who care and fight for the animals, who bear witness, who use your voices, who use your platforms, who make noise, who make a scene, who share your concerns and your compassion, who encourage your family and friends and strangers to make compassionate choices and to see the truth. The animals are counting on us. You are moving the needle. You are making a difference. ๐ Compassion Looks Good On You.
