Discussions about specific materials / whipping horses during horseraces

« Last post by E.A.S on October 12, 2021, 08:49:43 AM »

A few days ago it was reported that PETA Australia filed criminal charges in Tasmania alleging that the practice of whipping horses during horseraces violates the state’s animal welfare laws. However, whipping, as severe and as common in horse racing all over the world as it is, is of course extremely far from being the only or even the main issue horses are suffering from in the racing industry.

The use of egocentric and anthropocentric arguments, even among activists, is unfortunately not new. The new campaign for Labor Day – Meatless Labor Day, is probably one of the most extreme examples of that.

Discussions about specific materials / International Dog Day

Today is International Dog Day and National Burger Day in the UK.
This co-occurrence seems as a classic example of humanity’s schizoid relationship with animals – celebrating their love for some kinds of animals while celebrating their love of devouring other kinds in a bun. However, things are more complicated than that.

After discussing the fuss caused by the documentary film Seaspiracy, in the following post we discuss another Netflix environmental documentary, one which should have really caused a fuss, from activists this time, for being extremely feeble, indulgent and highly undemanding of people, despite that such a film should have demanded of everyone to become vegan.

Discussions about specific materials / World Water Day

« Last post by E.A.S on March 22, 2021, 05:08:31 AM »

The World Water Day which is marked today, is annually held to raise awareness regarding water scarcity issues. For example, currently more than 2 billion people do not have access to a safely managed water source, almost a million people do not have access to even a basic water source, more than 260 million people have to walk over half an hour just to access water that isn’t even clean, and about 2.5 billion people lack access to even basic sanitation services.

How is it that humanity lives in a blue planet yet almost a third of humans are forced to regularly use contaminated water, if they have any water at all, not to mention nonhumans - that who knows how many of them are suffering from water related issues?
