Calling veganism a white and privileged thing is crucial for carnists to continue to exploit animals bc it maintains the human/animal hierarchy while pretending to be radical. This, however, ignores the black, indigenous, disabled, queer, feminist, and similarly informed critiques and understandings of animal agriculture and specisism.
It is not hard to find oppressed vegans talking about why animal rights and animal liberation is important to them. If you're still calling veganism white or ableist or whatever, you're being purposefully ignorant.
🦈Shark Awareness Day🦈
July 14th - Sharks, skates and rays belong to a subclass of fish called 'Elasmobranchii', being notable for their primarily cartilaginous skeletons and unique diversity. Sharks play a vital role in maintaining stable ocean environments; by removing sickly fish, and controlling overpopulation of either invasive or smaller predatory fish in certain ecosystems. Filter feeders and sand sifters are just as important, being a part of the ocean's clean-up crew and nutrient cyclists. Unfortunately, over one-third of these species are at risk or threatened with extinction due to climate change and misconceptions being spurred on by popular media over the years (Jaws, Shark Week, etc.). The loss of these animals would lead to a decline in ocean ecosystem health around the world.
i think my least favourite excuse for why people won't go vegan is "it's not going to make a big difference why bother" so because there won't be a giant impact you're not going to try?
and newsflash, being vegan does make a difference!
i've been vegan for almost 12 years
look at the difference i've made. and i think it's a huge one!

I was thinking about the time I saw someone comment on the morality behind the experiments on dinosaurs and was asking “how could someone do this?”, and it made me think about how I never questioned that. Like, I’ve been vegan for so long that seeing horrific acts of animal abuse like that is run of the mill behavior for me when it comes to animal centered industries.
Unethical breeding is rampant across every single domesticated species to the point where the villains in Camp Cretaceous and Chaos Theory aren’t actually that out there in their evilness. They’re literally just regular people who were given the chance to genetically modify animals and educated enough to do it.
Just look at…
- How flat muzzled dogs and cats struggle to breathe due to how they’re purposefully bred.
- How pure bred dogs are bred by people who know full well that they have hereditary health issues.
- How poultry raise for meat are purposely bred (and overfed) to the point of heart attacks and broken legs because they’re bodies can’t handle their weight and how egg-laying hens are generally malnourished due to the constant laying they’ve been purposefully bred to do.
- How dairy cows are purposefully bred to produce so much milk that once they’ve been forced to reproduce (the vast majority are bred through artificial insemination)(most domesticated animals are) milking is pretty much a necessity because otherwise their udders get swollen and cracked, which is painful.
- How sheep are purposefully bred to the point of needing to be sheared because otherwise they’ll overheat and die.
- How lop-earred rabbits are purposefully bred to have their ears that way, despite the fact that it affects their hearing and a lot of them end up becoming deaf from it.
People who choose to genetically modify animals, or even just continue to breed them once they’ve already been modified for specific looks and purposes, in the first place generally don’t view them as living, breathing animals with experiences or feelings, they look at them as products to shape and sell.
And they do it because they can, hardly anyone is actually trying to stop them and the majority of people straight up encourage the behavior by creating demand (knowingly or unknowingly).
