Like many human holidays and celebrations, Easter is another day humans have turned into an exploitation event. And in this particular holiday the exploitation is quite diverse.

COP28 is not an historic success but another failure in a history of failures. And in relation to nonhuman animals’ exploitation, it is an even bigger failure.

For World Vegan Day held today, we wish to refer to Peter Singer’s disappointment, expressed in Animal Liberation Now: The Definitive Classic Renewed, published earlier this year, that his "call for a boycott of meat has been a dismal failure".

« on: October 10, 2023, 01:32:10 AM »
Two years after EU policymakers declared the most ambitious plan ever by any government to phase out some of the cruelest practices in factory farming, this legislation, along with a suite of other reforms that would reduce the suffering of potentially billions of farmed animals, have been dropped.

Discussions about specific materials / An unfortunate breakthrough
« on: September 10, 2023, 05:42:19 AM »
An unfortunate breakthrough was achieved at a Spanish government-run research center, where the first successful breeding of Atlantic Bluefin Tuna took place. Up to now, farming of Atlantic Bluefin Tuna has relied on catching young wild fish and fattening them in open-sea cages, but now that the inhibiting dependencies have been removed, this industry can expand.

Discussions about specific materials / Beyond Hope
« on: August 27, 2023, 06:12:48 AM »
Earlier this month some disappointing news was published. Beyond Meat’s latest financial report revealed that its net revenue dropped by 30.5 percent in the second quarter of 2023. This report was followed by media coverage suggesting that plant based “meat” was just a trend.
Although indeed this news is a bit concerning, it is a different publication which should make us really worried. Just a few days after the news about Beyond Meat, an article titled: "Price-, Taste-, and Convenience-Competitive Plant-Based Meat Would Not Currently Replace Meat" was published by Rethink Priorities, and it has some extremely depressing well based statements.

Discussions about specific materials / The Kazkova Dibrova Zoo
« on: June 13, 2023, 07:33:29 AM »
Last week, the Kazkova Dibrova Zoo has been flooded as a result of the blowing up of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant in Nova Kakhovka. The catastrophe is not what might happen when humans control nonhumans, it is what always happens when humans control nonhumans. It is always a catastrophe in a zoo. And zoos are only one type of catastrophe under human tyranny.

Discussions about specific materials / Happy Valentine’s Day
« on: March 13, 2023, 03:29:15 AM »
Two days ago, many animal liberation activists expressed their wishes for an asteroid to wipe out the earth after headlines about an asteroid that may significantly impact Earth on Valentine’s Day in 2046, were published. Although there is no need to take these headlines seriously, we must take very seriously these wishes.

« on: February 26, 2023, 07:26:06 AM »
Earlier this month it was announced that researchers from China have cloned calves, which they proudly call “super cows”, that can produce about 18 tons of milk per year, which is nearly 1.7 times the amount of milk the average cow exploited in the dairy industry is forced to produce.
