From childhood, we’re taught to see eating animals as normal. But something being considered “normal” doesn’t make it right. 💚 More than 90 billion land animals have their lives taken for food every year. Choosing vegan means rejecting the systems that treat animals as products and recognising them as individuals. 🌱✊ 📸: Photo of veganmarian (IG) taken by darrellsawczuk (IG) #veganactivist #animalrightsactivist #vegan

Watch closely new video showing the U.N. reaction: as courageous former hostage Ilana Gritzewsky confronts October 7th denier Reem al-Salem—by recounting the horrific abuse she suffered from Hamas—the U.N. rapporteur on violence against women sits there stone-faced. No empathy.
