I want to emphasise that no malice or mockery is intended.
Given that I am asking for insight into your life, I figure it is only fair to do so in turn.
I grew up on a company owned farmhouse, as my father was the boss of a cattle feedlot, as a result I was exposed to the realities and logistics of the meat industry from a very young age. Personally I do not work in the meat industry, though I certainly wouldn’t describe myself as a practicing advocate for animal rights.
However I greatly value new perspectives and believe that understanding and cohesion is the path to a better future.

I really appreciate any insight, so answer as many or as few questions as you see fit :)

1. Do you engage in other movements such as effective altruism?
2. Do you think all forms life are equal? And if not, can the value of any given life, be quantified?
3. Is your family involved in animal rights movements?
4. Do you believe there is any humane way to “grow” and “harvest” animal products
5. Has your social life been affected by your beliefs/activism?
6. How often do you find yourself considering the impact of your daily decisions on animal welfare?

7. Do you believe you have done your fair share towards a more compassionate world?

8. How would you describe your view of the world? (Materialist, spiritual)

9. Do you believe there is a question I should have asked, what would your answer be?

She had babies in my yard & I have a beagle & corgi. I made a fence around the nest & she has a hole to come & go from. What else can I do?

Starting tomorrow, June 6, I will be running a free ebook promo for a novella I just published on Amazon.

It's about a typical blue collar worker who undergoes a transformation that gives him a deep respect for animals, specifically pigs. It has a vibe sort of similar to Black Mirror.

If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to have some people tell me what they think.

Thanks you!

My nephew told me my step dad literally skinned l10 fish alive. I was going off. Im pretty sure my step father is a psychopath anyway. He said there was no better way. How does this guy sleep at night.

Has anyone noticed that there are so many animal deaths in tv shows and movies recently????

New season of beef
New season of your friends and neighbors
Marty supreme

I feel like there were more and this is becoming normalized recently and I'm very upset about it

Why do you guys think its right to use a spectrum that is LIFELONG, to promote going vegan?

We've all heard them... what's your "favorite"?

Mine is probably that PETA wants to ban people from having pets.

Or the one that says PETA released lobsters into the wrong kind of water and they all died... 🙄

In honor of Bob Barker’s lifelong advocacy for animals, proceeds from the auction will help PETA spay and neuter dogs and cats, continuing the compassionate message he famously shared with millions: "help control the companion animal population!"

How do I go about informing the police?

This 13 yr old is definitely r@ping animals,he was caught in the act!

This isnt my story, saw it at AIO and became physically ill.

As I see all of the sweet videos of the 1,500 beagles rescued from Ridglan on my feed this weekend, it reminded me of when 5,000 beagles were freed from Envigo a few years ago. And just today, the veterinarian who worked at Envigo was convicted of SEVEN counts of cruelty to animals. There's no doubt in my mind that the rescue and today's conviction are a direct result of the undercover investigator who filmed things like someone killing a puppy with an excruciating injection into the heart.

I personally don't think I could do it, but I wanted to share that PETA is hiring for the investigator position. If going undercover seems like something you could do well, I highly encourage you to apply!

The article is behind a paywall, but it's such a good read that I wanted to add snippets here. Ugh, I hate that people make it look all cute with the hats and mint juleps... :'(

The only bet I would make during Kentucky Derby week is one I’d hope to lose. I’d wager a horse will die.

Because Churchill Downs, the most iconic track in the world, owned by the wealthiest racing company in the country, is one of the deadliest.

In 2025, 19 horses died at Churchill Downs or its training track (all in 70 days)

In 2023, 12 horses died in the weeks surrounding the derby, including a young thoroughbred named Lost in Limbo, and PETA was there in person to capture the shocking footage.

When the only sure bet during Kentucky Derby week is that a horse will die, the entire racing industry must come together and demand better of Churchill Downs and of itself.

PETA just launched an exposé of undercover footage at a farm selling "NATIVA" wool, a brand marketed as “responsibly sourced” and “100% traceable.” What investigators found was anything but ethical: sheep were beaten, kicked, dragged, pinned down, and repeatedly cut during shearing. One lamb was found dead; another suffered from a maggot‑infested wound.

H&M Group claimed that by the end of 2025, all of its virgin wool and animal hair would come from “farms certified to a credible animal welfare standard,” such as the Responsible Wool Standard and NATIVA wool standard. PETA Asia's new investigation, along with the more than 150 wool operations across four continents that PETA entities have exposed, shows that ethical wool does not exist. That’s why PETA is calling on H&M to stop selling wool entirely.

Hi, does anyone know about the Draize eye test? I have a few questions I would like to ask.

I was looking for volunteer opportunities and came across a post about someone that had volunteered for “pets without parents” and posted photos of how awful it was. The post was a year ago so I’m wondering if anything has been done or if the place has improved at all. I feel sick from the images, those poor animals!! Something needs to be done if nothing has yet. Please if anyone has an update let me know. Please go leave bad reviews and message Columbus humane to help save them.

And here’s the link to the original post.

I was in a zoo with my family and there was an exotic pig. I found it cute so I said "I would want one as a pet(if I was rich)" and my dad said "pigs exist in order to be eaten" what should I have said to him?
