This will nearly double the size of battery cages for egg laying hens and require detailed labeling on egg cartons as to how the birds were raised/treated while also opposing the awful “King Amendment”. It’s not abolition, but it’s step in the right direction. Sign this and spread this.

Worst decision I've made today: trying to watch Dumbo and not have my heart broken repeatedly. Fuck the circus and goodnight.

Going vegan is great and all, but I hope stories (daily instances, rather) like this one inspires people to do something physical, tangible, not simply a consumer choice. One should perhaps see veganism as the first step of many. We really must do something more than just changing our diets and then funding campaigns that encourage others to change their diets, because while we are cooking up the next “fun” vegan recipe to share with our friends so as to create an accommodating and addicting culture free from the exploitation of animals, we, in turn, maintain and even ignore the mechanics of the very culture that is propping up the crating and murdering of calves. Soy and corn products, we should remember, not only supplies the cheap feed for slaughterhouses, but these very same corporations profit directly from the existence of factory farms while they market “cruelty-free” organics to consumers. For example; Kraft, (known for their mac ‘n’ cheese and other dairy products) owns Boca Burgers, Green & Black’s brand organic dark chocolate, Ritz and Oreos. (all vegan by nature of the ingredients, except recently Green & Black’s added milk fat to the ingredient list). Burt’s Bees, who’s products themselves aren’t tested on animals, is owned by The Clorox Company (known for their bleach products) who clearly does test on animals, and are being funded to do so even by people who are trying to make an “ethical” consumer choice. I am not suggesting that people shouldn’t be vegan, as it is far healthier (it greatly reduces the risk of cancer, cholesterol and heart problems) and, I believe, is the very first baby step to achieving real footing. However, we musn’t stop there. Outreach should not simply encourage others to change their diet, but should maintain a well-thought-out critical analysis of the structures in place that perpetuate the torture and systematic death of animals. We must destroy those structures. Only then will the animals be free.
