The heat is ramping up, so we assisted Nissa with installing a new mud hole to help her stay cool.
“Veganism has become sadly misrepresented in recent years, in a manner that has done a great disservice to the animals it claims to help. It has been portrayed to the public as a diet or trendy lifestyle, something that can be ‘tried out’ and dropped at a whim, rather than a social justice issue that strikes at the very heart of inequality, exploitation and violence.
When you think of other social justice issues – women’s rights, the civil rights movement, food insecurity and world hunger, climate change, environmental destruction, the plight of refugees, LGBTQ+ rights, war etc, would you consider advocating for them using the same tactics that the ‘vegan’ or ‘animal’ movement has used? Would you, for a start, almost completely eliminate the victims from your advocacy efforts? Would you advocate that we reduce rather than eliminate racism in the way that reducetarians advocate for consuming less animal products rather than respecting their rights and ending all use of other animals? Would you recommend encouraging people to ‘try out’ being anti-racist, or engage in a ’31 day challenge’ to end gender violence? Just as the animal rights movement calls for a boycott on all animal use and all animal products, the anti-slavery movement advocated boycotting products of slavery such as sugar. How diluted and ineffective their activism would have been if the call to abstain from sugar had been advertised as a healthy diet instead of the rights of slaves to be free? How effective would any social justice campaign be if, instead of advocating for justice and equality, it advocated reformed methods of exploitation as much of the ‘animal’ movement does with it’s call for better welfare while animals continued to be bred, used for profit and killed?” - Go Vegan World
