🌍🐟🪸🌊 We can't survive with a dead ocean. Reducing harmful warming emissions requires ending fossil fuels, industrial fishing and animal agriculture. Switching to a plant-based diet is the most efficient climate action we can take.

🌍 EARTH DAY 🌎

The most impactful action we can take to protect Mother Earth & all of her inhabitants is switching to a plant-based diet. 🌱

Animal ag is resource intensive, extremely polluting, exceptionally cruel & environmentally devastating
nashvilleanimaladvocacy.org/post/earth-day-everyday

We’ve lost 70% of the world’s wildlife since 1970 due to human activity; animal farming, deforestation, hunting, fishing, logging, pollution & climate impacts.

This is the result of policy choices, corporate priorities & systems that treat the natural world as expendable.

🐺 The red wolf is critically endangered. Only 26 known red wolves remain in the wild.

Congress votes on HR 1897 this week. It weakens endangered species protections, that can mean extinction for the red wolf.

Most people care about farm animals — our food system doesn't reflect that Surveys worldwide show that most people find common animal farming practices unacceptable, even where meat consumption is high.

In one US survey, 2 in 5 respondents agreed on banning slaughterhouses & factory farming, and close to a ⅓ supported banning animal farming altogether.

One of the biggest opportunities is to build a system where the food we eat reflects the values we already hold. Veganism is a moral baseline.

Surveys show large opposition to standard farming practices, such as killing newborn chicks, keeping animals in cages or amputating body parts.

Most farmed animals globally are raised in factory farms, including 99% in the US.

🙈 April 20, 1985, #Britches & 466 other animals were liberated by the #AnimalLiberationFront from a lab where they conducted experiments to study blindness, taking a newborn macaque from his mother, sewing his eyes shut & attaching a device to his head that made a constant screeching noise. 🐒

Animal agriculture is a leader in carbon dioxide, methane & nitrous oxide emissions. It is responsible for ⅓ of global methane emissions. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, 80 times more potent at warming than carbon dioxide. 🌎 #EarthMonth

Mass drowning of chicks puts emperor penguins at risk of extinction Record low levels of Antarctic sea ice are having grim consequences for penguins yet to grow waterproof feathers

#ClimateAction #ExtinctionIsForever

🐧The mass drowning of emperor penguin chicks as sea ice is melted by the climate crisis has led the IUCN to declare the species officially in danger of extinction.

🦭Antarctic fur seals & southern elephant seals are also at risk of extinction due to krill reduction & bird flu outbreaks.

🐦 Peak spring migration is fast approaching, and with it comes a serious threat to birds across North America. By making simple changes to your home or building, you can help protect birds and support their incredible journeys. 🪟💡

It's common to see snails active during and after rain because they are dependent on the moisture for survival. Watch out for these little cuties and take care not to step on them while out and about. 💚🐌💚

🦅 Congress is moving—again—to gut the Endangered Species Act.

H.R. 1897, the “ESA Amendments Act of 2025,” is one of the most sweeping attacks on wildlife protections in decades. This bill would fundamentally rewrite how the ESA works.

🐋 Home to thousands of dugongs & one of the world’s only non-migratory populations of Arabian humpback whales, the Persian Gulf has become increasingly dangerous. In a slow-moving ecosystem where damage can linger for years, the long-term consequences for marine life could outlast the war itself.

Baby chicks are debeaked with a searing hot blade to prevent pecking & cannibalism due to stressful confinement.🐤

7 BILLION male chicks are macerated, suffocated, or drowned annually because they can't lay eggs, considered a waste product by the egg industry.🐣

🐷 Animal agriculture exists through the confinement & exploitation of the mother.
⁠
Mothers are confined & forced to continually give birth only to have their babies ripped from them & sold for their flesh.

They endure this over & over until their body & mind breaks down.⁠
