Beef consumption in the US has been declining since the 1970s, but mainly because Americans have been switching to chicken. This is seen as a change for the better, but in most regards it's a change for the worse. Here are five reasons why. #animals #factoryfarming @wwf.org.uk
"This provision," writes Nicholas Kristof in The New York Times, "aims — this is my telegraphic version — to suppress the will of voters so that giant meat companies can abuse pigs." #animalrights #thenewyorktimes www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/o...

Why oppose the use of beagles in lab testing? You get a sense of the answer from these passages from "Animal Liberation Now," by Peter Singer. #ridglan #beagles #animalrights
Please call your senators to oppose the Save Our Bacon Act. This act undoes decades of animal welfare legislation and allows the pork industry to intensify animal confinement. It's the most serious threat to pro-animal legislation in US history. forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/vsYphZ...

A cool campaign against factory farming in the UK. These industries lie to us, and can fight back by boycotting their products. As Diane Morgan says, "I don't buy it." Here's a link to their video on Instagram: www.instagram.com/reels/DXWdyI... @cunkonlife.bsky.social #animalrights

Great take on the federal war on universities. I wish @lastweektonight.com would follow up by tackling the problem of animal experimentation, which this episode infelicitously endorses. Most animal experiments cause immense suffering for no human benefit. We need alternatives to animal research.
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver@lastweektonight.com · 11mo agoThis week’s main story is about Donald Trump’s grudge against higher education, what we stand to lose if he continues to withhold federal funding from universities, and which unexpected celebrity may hold the key to eternal youth. And yes, we have compelling evidence on that last point. You’ll see.
