🚨 ANIMALS NEED YOU TO TAKE ACTION TODAY Call your Senators ☎️ 202-224-3121 Tell them to oppose the Save Our Bacon Act and do not include it in the Farm Bill The Save Our Bacon Act is bad for states’ rights, bad for animals, bad for family farmers & bad for consumers #FarmBill 🎥 matthew_t_dominguez

⚠️ BREAKING INVESTIGATION: Baby chicks were beaten, crushed, and buried alive at a farm raising chickens for Costco. 🐔 TAKE ACTION ➡️ CostcoExposed.com 🎥 @mercyforanimals.org #endanimalag #veganfortheanimals

#InternationalTigerDay 🐅 Tigers are a keystone species crucial to their ecosystems, facing threats of poaching, wildlife trade & habitat loss. Approx 10,000 tigers are held captive in the US. Wild tigers only range from 3,900-4,500. In captivity tigers only "perform" under threat of violence.

🐠 Coral reefs support 25% of marine life. 75% of the world's coral reefs are threatened. 🪸 Bottom trawling, climate change, ocean warming & acidification are primary threats, causing mass bleaching mortality. 🌊 Fishing & animal ag are major contributors to the degradation of marine ecosystems.

The Trump admin has rolled backed the Endangered Species Act by narrowing the definition of "harm" to exclude habitat destruction. The greatest threat to wildlife is the destruction of their habitat — replacing grasslands with farms, cutting forests for timber, building suburbs atop wetlands.

#WorldTofuDay 🌱 The trepidation over tofu & other soy products is kind of silly. Soy is just a bean, not a magical testosterone killer. Soy doesn't contain estrogen, but rather phytoestrogens that do not perform the same way in the human metabolism as hormone estrogens. 🎥 goplantstrong (IG)

🐘 Zoos exist for profit, viewing the animals in their care as entertainment for paying guests. That's the bottom line. 🐻 Zoos breed animals who will never see the wild. They suffer from zoochosis & family separation under the narrative of breeding programs. 🐅 Support on-the-ground conservation.

Telling your dog that they're adopted is much kinder than telling them they were bought from a breeder or puppy mill where puppies are just a commodity for profit & their mother is stuck in a cycle of existing as a breeding machine. Never buy animals. Adopt from your local rescues & shelters. 🐕

#ClimateEmergencyDay Animal agriculture is responsible for 18% carbon dioxide emissions 37% methane emissions (80 x as potent as CO2) 65% nitrous oxide emissions (300 x as potent as CO2)

#WorldSnakeDay🐍 Snakes play an integral role in balancing their ecosystem by regulating small animal populations & even seed dispersal. Some non-venomous snakes prey on venomous snakes. In TN, it's illegal to kill native snakes, venomous or non-venomous. The only rare exception is imminent danger.

Every single day, an unfathomable number of animals have their lives taken from them, most extremely young. Ten times the number of the human population are killed every year, not including the trillions of marine life. 💔 We have the power to demand systemic change and end animal exploitation. 🌱

There were 1 million wild chimps at the turn of the century, their numbers have since declined to between 170,000-300,000. The biggest threats to chimpanzees are poaching, the illegal pet trade, habitat loss and disease spread from human encroachment. #WorldChimpanzeeDay

🦈 Over 100 MILLION sharks are killed each year as fishing bycatch or deliberately for their fins. Sharks have a slow reproductive rate making them more vulnerable to fishing. Sharks play a vital role in maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems. End the fishing industry 🐟 #SharkAwarenessDay

🐳 Orcas can swim up to 140 miles in a day & dive deep. Captive orcas swim endless circles & float listlessly in barren tanks. They can develop zoochosis, showing repetitive behaviors like banging their head against tank walls & chewing metal bars. #WorldOrcaDay ➡️ www.instagram.com/reel/DayDqH8...

🐂 Animal exploitation for fashion significantly contributes to our climate crisis. Leather is a highly profitable co-product of the meat industry. The purchase of animal skins subsidizes the meat and dairy industries, while exposing pollution to workers and the environment alike.

They deserve so much better than a life of animal agriculture. 💔 🌱 nashvilleanimaladvocacy.org/resources 🎥 @veganftaofficial.bsky.social #endanimalag #veganfortheanimals #animalliberation

𓆤 Tennessee is home to 30 species of fireflies, and the Common Eastern Firefly is the official state insect. ⛰️ The phenomenon of the synchronous firefly mating display in the Great Smoky Mountains happens between May - June. The National Park Service holds a reservation lottery for viewing access.

🦜 A parakeet-breeding factory that sells birds into Petco’s supply chain were found to be deprived of veterinary care, seriously injured or killed in horrifically violent ways. 📢 Speak up for the birds exploited by Petco ⏰️ July 7, 11:30 am-1 pm 📍 Petco, 3468 Poplar Ave, Memphis TN

92.2 BILLION animals are killed for food each year. That's unfathomable 🐓 Animal agriculture is a leading climate polluter and uses 83% of the world's farmland to give back just 18% of our calories. 📷 @robbielockie.bsky.social

Congress is sneaking a lifeline for the fur industry into the farm bill. Section 3204(b)(1)(a) of the farm bill would repeal a law preventing taxpayer dollars being used by the mink industry to market their pelts. Call your Senators TODAY. Tell them remove 3204(b)(1)(a) ☎️ 202-224-3121 🎥 loebjeremy

Fireworks can frighten birds to death, cause wildlife to abandon dens or nests in blind panic, trigger PTSD in humans, terrify dogs + cats & create deadly debris for aquatic life to ingest. 😵 Be considerate of others this Independence Day 🇺🇸 #BanTheBoom

🧀 So you think you'll miss cheese if you go vegan? Not as much as this little calf misses their mother and their milk that was stolen to make your cheese. 🐄 #nationaldairymonth #ditchdairy #endanimalag #dairyisscary #animalliberation

🐦 The science behind the synergy of native plants and birds is undeniable. Native plants attract bugs, produce seeds & fruit, and provide nectar that birds rely on.🪻 🎥 @cornellbirds.bsky.social

🦋 Butterflies don't just need flowers. They need mud. More specifically, they need dissolved minerals — sodium, potassium, and amino acids — that they can't get from nectar. They get these by drinking from wet soil, mud puddles, and damp sand. It's called "puddling."

Use your legs, not animals 🐪 Camels exploited in the tourism industry are overworked, suffer physical abuse, live in poor conditions and are typically slaughtered after a few years of exploitation. End animal exploitation 🐫 🎥 sprezzel (IG) #worldcamelday #notyourride #animaltourism

Children are innately born with compassion for animals. Societal conditioning tends to suppress the connection children have with animals. If kids knew how nuggets were made, they wouldn't want them. Learning they're eating an animal can be traumatizing. Be the example for compassionate kids. 🐥🐛💛
