I’ve never been, nor do I consider myself now an "animal lover." I don't geek out over cute animals or rush to pet dogs. you don't need to be an animal lover to be #vegan. you simply have to believe that unnecessarily exploiting and killing animals is wrong. that's it. period. if you believe that, you believe in the core principle of #veganism. given that the science is quite conclusive that (outside of certain extreme examples that are very uncommon in developed countries) we "don't need" any animal foods or products to thrive... the idea that a proper plant-based diet is nutritionally sufficient is not controversial in the scientific community… in fact, there’s a damn strong case that it’s the optimal diet for longevity and performance. the consumption of such products is inherently NOT necessary. and while I don't love animals... I do value their lives, bodily autonomy, and sentience enough to not exploit them for my sensory pleasure. and that's why after a over decade of eating a plant based diet, I am proud to call myself a vegan. no hate. no shade. no shame. no judgement. just want to share my perspective on something that is an important part of my life today on #worldveganday.

Animals want to live just like us. 💚✅ They are sentient beings with families, and they deserve to experience freedom and dignity. Being vegan means choosing a way of life that respects their right to live on their terms. It's about making choices that align with kindness, justice, and a mindful connection to the natural world. Every plant-based choice is a step toward a world where animals can live freely. Choosing vegan is about standing up for their lives and our planet’s future. 🌍 #veganlife #animalrights #sentientbeings #choosekindness #plantbasedliving #ethicalchoices #animalsdeservefreedom #liveandletlive #mindfulliving #fortheplanet #veganmovement #animalsarefamily #freedomanddignity

Do you really need any more reasons to be vegan? 🥺 Surely these animals deserve their freedom? 💔 Every single animal that loses their life to human uses, were innocent gentle souls like these individuals. 😔 Go vegan for them. 💚 👉 For free help keeping animals in your heart and off your plate: https://bit.ly/VeganFTA22 🎥 'moustache_farmer' (IG) with text added by VeganFTA #vegan #veganism #cuteanimals #loveanimals #saveanimals

If only the world behaved like this. If only humans behave like this. Why do humans make so many bad and wrong choices? Maybe it’s just because they can but, just because you can doesn’t mean that you should for example, you can jump off the edge of a cliff but you wouldn’t do it. You can put the wrong type of fuel in your car, but you wouldn’t do it. You could beat a horse, kick a dog, drown a kitten but you…… depends on your #moralvalues and whether you choose to do the wrong thing or the right thing. Have a conscience, have a care? Whether you choose to be part of the solution and not part of the problem.

This cow is in SHACKLES. 😱 Like John Oberg asks, is THIS the world we want to live in? Where animals are treated like objects? 🥺 This dairy cow has been shackled to prevent her from doing the splits as she has lost control of her back legs. This happens as her exploitation by the dairy industry has put prolonged strain on her body causing birthing difficulties and nerve damage. 💔 Her pain and misery is just the “cost of doing business” to the #meat and #dairy industries. Cows are living, feeling beings, and we can show them compassion, consideration, and respect by going #vegan. 🙏💚 👉 Join the Movement!

While dogs and cats are cherished family members, why do we often overlook the suffering of creatures like chickens in industrial farms? Watch here: 🔗https://lnkd.in/gxzk9Qae Our love for pets reveals a paradox in our treatment of animals. This inconsistency in our moral compass highlights the selective nature of our empathy. Do cultural norms dictate which animals we value and which we consume?🤔 All sentient beings have intrinsic worth, not just those we've chosen as companions. Expanding our circle of compassion to encompass all creatures isn't a sacrifice, but an ethical evolution How can we bridge the empathy gap between beloved pets and farm animals? In this episode of #SustainableTeaWithShreya🎙️,🌏 Shreya Ghodawat Ⓥ engages in a candid conversation with MAYYUR GIROTRA to discuss his choice of turning vegetarian, his love for animals, and the importance of showing equal empathy to all creatures.🐾🐔 #Vegan #Animals #MeatFree #AnimalRights #Awareness #ChooseVegan #Pets #FarmAnimals #CompassionForAll #LoveForAnimals #PetLove #PlantBased #VeganFood #CleanEating #VeganLifestyle #FoodChoices #FarmRights #Empathy #ConsciousEating #Sustainability

Veganism in a nutshell: 1 - We don’t have to kill animals and eat them to survive and thrive 2 - Animals want to live and avoid suffering Isn’t this legitimately all we need to know to be vegan!?

To Eat Meat, Or Not To Eat Meat… Is the exact same thing as: To Take A Life, Or Not To Take A Life… When you begin to realise that every single time you sit down to eat, for some 5 to 10 minutes of your day - when you eat meat, you are paying to end the life of an animal. 💔 Their fate, purely to become 5/10 minutes of taste pleasure for a human, and nothing more. A mere component to a meal. Swap this component of your meal out for something plant based, and as simple as that - you no longer become the reason that an animal suffers greatly, and then loses their life. 😔 For something so superficial, please have a conscience - and ask yourself whether it’s truly worth it 💔🐮 👉 For free help going vegan: https://bit.ly/VeganFTA22 #cows #animalrights #veganism #animalart #illustration

1dThis is such a rational way to look at it. Breaking down complex ethical choices to simple principles makes perfect sense. We don't need to fit stereotypes or check all the boxes to make conscious choices. Sometimes the simplest logic leads to the most meaningful decisions 🌱
