Animals Are The Victims Of Our Culture Of Cruelty. We Defend Our Positions Even When We Know We’re Wrong. Animals Are The Victims Of Our Culture Of Cruelty Humans have an unrelenting arrogance about our place in the world a misguided belief in our superiority and a need to dominate and destroy that is unmatched in any species. We savour our place at the top of the food chain and believe in our right to use animals as a commodity. We brag about our ability to exert con...trol over lesser species. We are systematically destroying the oceans, the rainforests, the atmosphere, the landscapes. We justify our vile actions by claiming tradition, habits, culture, religion, business interests and entitlement. We value profit over all else. Nothing is sacred to humans and our collective ego knows no bounds. We are morally and spiritually bankrupt. Our politicians are corrupt. People are lazy and disengaged. It’s all about us. Animal cruelty is a sad reality, an accepted normal. It is extolled in media messages of gangsta cool, child abusers are forgiven, adult abusers revert to the angst of their troubled childhoods to explain their vicious actions. Animal abusers often move on and terrorize and kill children and adults. The mainstream media should be all over dog fighting, factory farming, fur farming, poaching, trapping, horse racing, puppy mills, religious sacrifice, AgGag laws, the greyhound industry, animal testing, torture, crush videos and animal cruelty of any kind. They are NOT, they are silent, they are complicit. The victims are forgotten. Stopping any kind of animal cruelty starts with on your choices. Avoid attending entertainment events that victimize animals. Consider going vegan if you haven’t already. Don’t eat meat, eggs, dairy, honey, or any other animal by-products. Police your non-food products so you don’t buy anything that has been tested on animals or contains products that come from our furred and feathered friends. The most important thing you can do is spread awareness. Let people know about the animal cruelty that goes on in all these situations. Share articles like this one on social media and help to make a better world for all species. #savetheplanet #stopanimalcruelty #stopanimalexploitation #stopanimaltesting #stopanimalabuse #vegan #crueltyfree #animals #wildlife #animallovers #animalrights #tbt #canada

Alarm as Arctic sea ice not yet freezing at latest date on record. For the first time since records began, the main nursery ofArcticsea ice in Siberia has yet to start freezing in late October. The delayed annual freeze in the Laptev Sea has been caused by freakishly protracted warmth in northernRussiaand the intrusion of Atlantic waters, say climate scientists who warn of possible knock-on effects across the polar region. Ocean temperatures in the area recently climbed t...o more than 5C above average, followinga record breaking heatwaveand the unusually early decline of last winter’s sea ice. 2020 is another year that is consistent with a rapidly changing Arctic. Without a systematic reduction in greenhouse gases, the likelihood of our first ‘ice-free’ summer will continue to increase by the mid-21st century. This year’s Siberian heatwave was made at least 600 times more likely by industrial and agricultural emissions, according to an earlierstudy. The warmer air temperature is not the only factor slowing the formation of ice.Climate changeis also pushing more balmy Atlantic currents into the Arctic and breaking up the usual stratification between warm deep waters and the cool surface. This also makes it difficult for ice to form. The downward trend is likely to continue until the Arctic has its first ice-free summer. The data and models suggest this will occur between 2030 and 2050. It’s a matter of when, not if. Scientists are concerned the delayed freeze could amplify feedbacks that accelerate the decline of the ice cap. It is already well known that a smaller ice sheet means less of a white area to reflect the sun’s heat back into space. Climate change is expected to affect every country in the world and people needs take action, needs change habits and to stop to think they are safe because they are far from where disasters are happening, no one is safe or untouchable. We need to be less selfish and care about everything on this planet. Source: The Guardian

Stop fighting about who created the world and start fighting against the people who are trying to destroy it! Beingenvironmentally conscious simply means having a lifestyle that are better for the environment and to be more responsible about your actions and habits. Try to be a little more conscious of the food you waste the meat you eat ... the clothes you wear the trash you toss the things you buy the things you do. A good way would be to start with conserving water, driving less and walking more, consuming less, eating locally grown vegetables, joining environmental groups, creating less waste, planting more trees, recycling, reduce, reuse and many more.

There is no future on a dead planet! Today the @euparlament voted for a disastrous agricultural reform. They did a miserable job today and for next 7 years. The EU failed to #votethiscapdown and as @gretathunberg just Tweeted "basically made their insufficient so-called climate and environmental targets impossible to reach". But we will not give up fighting for nature, for animals, for climate and for a better planet. #join all of us to vote this CAP down! #spread the message.... No more excuses. #environment #sustainability #ecofriendly #gogreen #vegan #ClimateChange #globalwarming #climateemergency #greenrecovery #noplanetb #savetheplanet

We are so conditioned (pardon the pun) to see hair care as liquid in a plastic bottle. Which, for all intents and purposes, is fairly unhealthy and if laid out flat, the number of shampoo bottles condemned to landfills in a year could fill1,164football fields. Switching tovegan and cruelty-free shampoo and conditioner bars is great, and there are manyzero waste shampoo and conditionersavailable. In average, one bottle lasts for 25 to 35 washes, which means we throw away... around one plastic bottle per month. Most of them are never recycled. Each 65g bar replaces up to 3 bottles of liquid shampoo. Liquid shampoo is made of up to 80% water and liquid conditioner is made of up to 95% water. In comparison, one shampoo or conditioner bar is concentrated which means you can use it for longer. In average, it lasts for 80 to 100 washes! On top of that, it generally comes with no packaging or ecofriendly packaging, which means zero waste. Not convinced to make the switch to solid shampoo bars and solid hair conditioner bars yet? Here are a few other reasons you may want to give them a try! Paying for water- like we said, the first ingredient inmost bottled product is ‘water’! Which, in and of itself, is a very precious resource. Carbon foot print- bars are lighter, more compact and more concentrated! Transporting products without added water is much more energy efficient and carbon conserving. Space- again, bars being concentrated with no water means they take up less space, in your shower, cupboard, suitcase, wherever. Zero-waste- once you're done your bars, there's nothing to dispose of. Results- yes, you can get luxury results without buying products in fancy packaging. For every person that converts to a package-free option like shampoo bars and conditioner bars, we’re diverting unnecessary plastic packaging from landfills and our oceans, or an already bogged-down recycling system, which is more important than ever, given the state of plastic pollution andthe shocking truth is that91% of plastic isn’t recycled.

That is the week every year marked as the official National Wolf Awareness Week. The grey wolf is one of the most disturbed animals in the world leaving a third of their population being cut by the loss of healthy habitat or by humans. Unlike bears, Canada does not offer any protection toward wolves being hunted. Facts: Wolves don’t make good guard dogs. Since they’re naturally afraid of the unfamiliar, they will hide from visitors rather than bark at them Like fingerpri...nts, wolves’ howls are distinctive. Other pack members use them to recognize each other. The gray, the red and the Ethiopian are the three different species of wolves in the world. Only the gray wolf and red wolf are found in North America. Gray wolves can be white, tan, black, brown or grizzled (a combination of browns, tans, and black). Wolves live and hunt in packs of about four to ten. Wolves can smell other animals more than one mile away. The hunting ground of a wolf can be quite large. They can roam up to 50 miles in a single day. In North America, gray wolf pups are born during April, May and the first week of June. While a wolf pup’s eyes are blue at birth, their eyes turn yellow by the time they are eight months old. Gray wolves can eat 20 pounds of meat at a sitting, but can can go for more than a week without eating. Adult gray wolves range from 40 to 175 pounds (females weigh just slightly less than males). Wolves sprint 36 to 38 miles per hour for short distances. SAVE B.C. WOLVES Wolves are still legally persecuted throughout British Columbia. These highly intelligent and social animals are hunted, trapped and shot from helicopters due to misguided wildlife management policy. The province’s wolf cull program is arguably the most ecologically, economically, and ethically offensive element of their approach to wolf management. Our goal is to stop the wolf cull and to resist ongoing efforts to escalate the persecution of wolves across the province. Together, we can stop the kill program and ensure wolves are given the protection and respect they deserve as apex predators and ecosystem engineers. https://pacificwild.org/campaign/save-bc-wolves/
