Why isn't animal freedom seen as a legitimate freedom struggle?

And how might our movement change that?

"Die Wildnis ist dann erträglich, wenn sie nicht irgendeinem menschlichen Grundbedürfnis entgegensteht: Sie sollte wahlweise zutraulich, nützlich, niedlich oder lecker sein und auf gar keinen Fall des Menschen Wege kreuzen, wo er das nicht möchte."
...
"Das gefährlichste Tier sind immer noch wir. Wir sollten einfach mal damit beginnen, die richtigen Schlüsse daraus zu ziehen. "

Nicht erst seit Ostsee-Wal: Warum wir ihn lieben und Mücken töten

Warum lieben wir Timmy, den Buckelwal, und töten andere Tiere ganz beiläufig? Was der Umgang mit Tieren über den Menschen verrät.

(and I’ve probably missed some who have also answered here)

No idea why but @PaulNickson must have had a reason to tag me 😄 Thanks, because interesting and relevant thread.

Methinks that no single of the mentioned -isms is to blame, they all go hand in hand, and IMO we need to add #carnism to the list also – there must have been a time when most of us could have quit exploiting and murdering the other animals. Or is that time now? At least for most of us?

(Not talking about indigenous people who might not have – subjectively or objectively – other ways to feed themselved and their kin.)

And NO, @IndyRichard, def. not “too negative”.

There’s no difference.

You are being lied to.

This is what speciesism does, creating billions of victims all year long.

Get rid of the belief system carnism, go vegan for all the animals. 🌱☮️ (peace on a plate)

Twelve degrees C and sunny. Great weather for a bike ride. I had a little moment of #happiness along the way when I saw a beautiful blossoming bush. A little later, I experienced a rather unsafe moment where a truck was coming towards me and someone felt the need to overtake me at the wrong moment. That moment sticks in my #memory. The rest less so. That is a shame. Maybe I should think more positively. Still, a simple risk assessment shows that I should go by car next time...

Perhaps those 70% think their personality will disappear when they stop the meat-eating?
Carnism is very strong and meat is linked to masculinity by society in an absolute absurd way…

I am a paying subscriber of several years for tutamail and I am also an antispeciesist vegan

I like tutamail because of the commitment to renewable energy[1] and quantum resistant encrypted private emails; put the two together and there is nothing else like it I can think of.

I have a suggestion - I noticed that the junkmail folder is called "Spam" and features an icon of a bug.

"Spam" is a speciesist phrase as I outline in this short post
https://veganism.social/@ambiguous_yelp/115878036888467050

and "Bug" to symbolize a pest/error is speciesist as I explained in this short post
https://veganism.social/@ambiguous_yelp/115970417941403799

My suggestion is to rename this folder to "Junkmail" or equivalent and change the icon to perhaps a crossed circle icon or an exclamation mark or a halt hand gesture or if you wanted to be jokey about it a toilet

If there was a more appropriate place to submit this feedback I couldn't find it

I'm reposting something from a couple of months ago to add a list of better words to say at the end The word "spam" meaning to flood a place with unwanted messages comes from a carnist joke made by Monty Python in which the capitalist product Spam is mythologized as an archetypal unwanted worthless repetition. A murder victims body reduced to a literal throw-away joke depicting their mangled corpse as nothing more than a nuisance. The company that killed them "Spam company" is remembered more readily than the victim some alternative words you could consider: slop (n.), flood (v.) gibberish (n.) junkmail (n.) solicit (v.) solicitations (n.) offtopic (adj.) disrupt (v.) disruption (n.) #Speciesism #Carnism #MontyPython #Spam
