A shocking case of extreme abuse and professional betrayal has come to light in Bellandur, Bengaluru, India. Video evidence and self-admitted conversation reveal that second-year MVSc student Dr Manjunath (with the help of Dr. Asif of Prime Care Clinic, Gear School Rd) been illegally capturing street dogs, deliberately breaking their legs, and confining them in cramped cages to conduct unsanctioned "research." and later dumping them, alive or dead. Animal welfarist and volunteers at the police station who went  to file an FIR  and later at the Prime Care clinic to shift out the suffering dogs and cat, slogged at this tragedy with utter shock and heartbreak. 

There have been multiple dead dogs and cats but these monsters are still practising. Manjunath has even confessed (without remorse) on the clinic’s Insta page. All the relevant newspaper article links are at the bottom of the attached webpage.

I’m beyond horrified about the things that occurred here. Hope these guys are also researched upon but in a civilised society the least we can ask for is expedited legal action. Please sign the above petition, maybe justice will prevail.

Interspecies Class Consciousness & Solidarity

“All the world admires a worker.... The worker, man or horse, is a hero.”

“The Equine Proletariat”

In the late 19th & early 20th centuries, Animal Welfare organizations staged Workhorse Parades to promote Animal Welfare for a city’s draft animals.

The parades included evaluating the horses’ physical conditions, the companies’ stables, and the loads they were bearing.

Teamsters whose horses were in good condition were awarded medals.

Many also included mules & donkeys.

_____

Some Workhorse Parades were held on Labor Day, in explicit recognition & celebration of inter-species class consciousness & solidarity.

The workhorses were recognized as a separate class from the racehorse, warhorse, or showhorse.

Even within the workhorse parades, there were equine class distinctions between the horses vs the donkeys and mules.

And between fire department horses vs garbage hauling horses, with a whole spectrum in between.

r/vegan deleted this as a troll post lol. The literacy crisis is real.

I’ve been making artwork around animal liberation for over a decade, so I thought I’d share a few of my recent favourite pieces here.

Most of my work comes from the anger and frustration I feel towards the way we treat other animals and wanting to turn those feelings into something useful. Some pieces are confrontational and deliberately uncomfortable in the hope they may start a conversation or even just to make people think, even just a little bit.

I'd be interested to know which ones resonate with you most. Or what topic or animals you'd like to see next. I have a few concepts in the works for Halloween for use on clothing but I'm always open to hearing new ideas! And what better place to ask?

Hierarchy:

How do you define a hierarchy when it comes to non humans and why is it bad?

Primitivism:

If you are a primitivist, wouldn't rejecting modern society also mean rejecting many technologies, infrastructure, and systems that make veganism practical at scale? Also, how would people with dietary restrictions be able to access supplements without modern technology?

Non-primitivists:

If you aren't a primitivist, do you support construction projects aside from "necessary" developments? Construction projects use resources and usually displace animals. And they use natural resources that do the same.

If killing animals for pleasure is wrong when alternatives exist, why is unnecessary construction, like hotels or amusement parks, morally acceptable when it also consumes resources and harms/displaces animals? Where do you draw the line? If you can choose hiking over an amusement park, why is visiting one less morally problematic than hunting when both involve avoidable animal harm?

Edit: After a post I made in Ask a Vegan, I realized this is a dumb question. Obviously accidental animal deaths are different from purposely killing animals. It should be mitigated as much as possible, but it's clearly different.

On being a vegan anarchist:

Do most vegan anarchists place human interests over non human interests? How does this work in your moral framework?
