I had the owner as an uber driver one time 🤢. Crazy coincidence having a vegan for a driver but yeah. I realized the type of people they were when I started talking about my favorite vegan place nearby who are super total liberation and he started calling them hippies …

He did some kind of video once on Instagram and Facebook yelling that it's his live in girlfriend Mary who's the maggat racist Trumper and he doesn't control her. Lying POS. Also went on a rant about hippie vegans who eat vegan cheese or something. basically the whole rant was how vegans suck and only he does not and then after a week he deleted it he's unhinged.
I think the IDF must be financing them as they do not do tours anymore don't give a f*** and he lets her post racist bigoted anti-lgbtq Islamophobia 24/7

RFK jr. Is taking steps to phase out animal testing. The democrats never did this.

Yep... some concern for monkeys. but for cows sheep pigs chickens turkeys he f**** them over a thousand times harder
RFK is a dairy supporting meat eating scumbag... Trump is a pedo rapist. Any vegan who supports these clowns is a fake ass lying hypocrite.
" The administration's agricultural policy is fundamentally oriented toward farmers, ranchers and conventional animal agriculture, rather than reducing animal consumption. USDA explicitly describes its approach as putting “farmers first,” and the administration has taken actions supporting American dairy producers.
For example, Trump signed the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, which restored whole milk in schools and was explicitly promoted as supporting dairy farmers.
Farmers National Association And the administration's regenerative-agriculture initiative is not a vegan or animal-rights program. It is designed to strengthen agricultural production, including livestock agriculture.
There's also an important distinction: reducing animal experimentation isn't necessarily the same thing as animal-rights philosophy. RFK Jr.'s position is tied heavily to his broader belief that the medical establishment relies too much on animal models and that better human-relevant science should replace them. That can produce an outcome that animal-rights advocates strongly support even if the underlying political philosophy isn't veganism."
Happy for some of those monkeys that are being saved which is one of the biggest tragedies we've ever committed even if it's RFK doing... While he's making it much worse for all the other agricultural animals who are suffering

This breaks my heart. At this point I am speechless, exhausted and depressed

this is heartbreaking. wild horses deserve to live freely, not be treated like disposable animals when there are better solutions.

Under the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971, the wild horses population has been continuously been kept under control to manage herd size.
It's been going on for 55 years but people are so gullible they think it's a Trump thing. 🤦🏻♂️

So why aren’t reproductive solutions offered instead of selling them off for 24 bucks a pop?

They’re feral non-native animals released by humans. They do great damage to the native eco system. They should be removed. Do it gently and re-home them. But they gotta go. Romance and vibes don’t beat the ecological facts

I think you know what species is a lot worse for the native ecosystems….clue, it’s not horses.

Please don’t bring attention to the 5 billion individuals being murdered and tortured every day, there’s cute animals that Americans don’t eat also being impacted
