trying to use my psychic abilities to force everyone around me to go vegan

If "saving the bees" to you only means keeping european honey bees for honey extraction and not protecting native bee populations then you're just a colonizer and a capitalist

[thrivegan]

if you know that employers exploit their workers and don't care about them, why would the case be different in animal agriculture? if you know that rich people in power don't care about the wellbeing of humans, why on earth would they care about animals only seen as products? please open your eyes. it took me a while to but i'm so happy i did!

“A new U.S. law has eliminated the requirement that drugs in development must undergo testing in animals before being given to participants in human trials.

Animal rights advocates have long pushed for such a move, and some in the pharmaceutical industry have argued that animal testing can be ineffective and expensive…

Signed by President Biden in December as part of a larger spending package, the law doesn’t ban the testing of new drugs on animals outright.

Instead it simply lifts the requirement that pharmaceutical companies use animals to test new drugs before human trials. Companies can still test drugs on animals if they choose to.

There are a slew of other methods that drugmakers employ to assess new medications and treatments, such as computer modeling and “organs on a chip,” thumb-sized microchips that can mimic how organs’ function are affected by pharmaceuticals.

But Aliasger Salem, a professor at the University of Iowa’s College of Pharmacy, told NPR that companies opting to use these alternative testing methods as a replacement for animal testing must be aware of the methods’ limits to ensure their drugs are safe.

“The companies need to be aware of the limitations of those technologies and their ability to identify or not identify potential toxicities,” Salem said.

“You don’t want to shift to systems that might not capture all of the types of toxicities that have been seen in the past without ensuring that the methods that you have will capture that.”

An FDA spokesperson told NPR that it will “implement all applicable provisions in the omnibus and continue to work with stakeholders to encourage the development of alternative testing methods.”

This year’s federal budget also includes $5 million for a new FDA program aimed at reducing animal testing by helping to develop and encourage industry to adopt new product testing methods, the spokesperson said.”

I don’t get why people have done literally zero research about veganism love to argue with people who have spent years being vegan. Who have read books, googled everything, and are really passionate about a serious life long commitment.

give it up for baby chinchins !!!!!!

the question is simply this:

can you come up with one reason for why our current treatment of animals is ok (outside of survival situations) that has not already been used to deny certain groups of humans their most basic rights?

This is your daily reminder to not be ashamed of making your life easy for yourself.

Cut your food into small pieces, make the font size 30 on your e book, use straws to drink, get a pen that’s comfortable to hold, take more naps, walk slowly, eat another cookie, buy velcro shoes, re-watch the part you couldn’t understand the first time, write things on your hands so you don’t forget it… whatever you want and/or need

Don’t let anyone tell you how you should be doing things. We don’t need to prove each other anything
