  1. A factory farm is a large-scale industrial operation that houses thousands of animals raised for food—such as chickens, turkeys, cows, and pigs—and treats them with hormones and antibiotics to prevent disease and maximize their growth and food output. 2. Animals are fed and sprayed with huge amounts of pesticides and antibiotics, which can […]

You may have heard on the news recently that on 14th May 2014, over 1,000 chickens were killed when the lorry transporting them crashed into a safety barrier on the M62 in Greater Manchester.

Although no one has yet come forward to take credit for changing SeaWorld’s Wikipedia page on Facebook to a ‘Prison & Correctional Facility’, the new title has inspired a slew of 1-star reviews against the company and it’s orca shows. The SeaWorld Wikipedia page itself has also been recently altered to reflect itself as an […]

It been almost a year since the documentary Blackfish sent ripples through SeaWorld when it was first released.

“Ten thousand years ago free-living animals made up 99% of the biomass – and human beings, we only made up 1% of the biomass. Today, only ten thousand years later (which is really just a fraction of time), we human beings and the animals that we own as property make up 98% of the biomass […]

“We have been socialized into this dominant carnistic culture where we’ve been taught to put dead animals and their excretions into our mouths from the moment we are weaned. And we are taught to block out anything that would help us make the connection that when we eat animals, we are eating someone and not […]
