#mention: welfare

[sharkapology]

Heavily inspired by this post.

Your fear/disgust for an animal does not determine it's worth. All animals exist for a reason.

#individuals that actively endanger human lives dont count in this situation #i understand hunting down a oredator that is threatening your loved ones and livelihood. a lone shark thats #never had contact with humans is a different story. #not mentioned but this goes for vegans who think no animal needs meat to survive. dont be responsible for animals ever. #sharks #predators #animal welfare #bears #large cats #wolf #fox #coyote #hyena #etc etc sorry i can't tag everything

What do you think abt Holocaust analogies in animal rights? Because I have to read Elizabeth Costello for class and I just know that my professor is going to talk about this tacky fucking "the meat industry is the same as/worse than the Holocaust" analogy in the most insensitive way possible.

It's absolutely disgusting. Animals aren't people. I'm vegetarian. I belief in animal welfare. I hate factory farms and mass-produced meat. I will never compare it to the Holocaust.

ARAs (Animal Rights Activists) and PETA are some of the most racist and antisemitic "activists" I've seen.

Animal Welfare means advocating for humane conditions for animals, whether or not they'll ultimately become food, and recognizing the relationship we have with the natural world, including consuming parts of it respectfully.

"Animal Rights" means comparing animals to people and people to animals and hurting both people and animals in the process, as well as not recognizing the unique needs different animals need and instead applying human diets and morality onto them. (Cats can't be vegan healthfully. Dogs shouldn't be vegan either. Don't listen to anyone who tries to convince you otherwise. Cats are obligate carnivores, dogs are opportunistic/flexible carnivores. )

Animal Welfare > Animal "Rights"

Animals aren't people. People aren't animals.

No matter how horrific factory farming can be, it'll never be on the level of the Holocaust or any other genocide.

Niche Tumblr drama but that woman whose defending Homestuck with her life for some reason went from "it aged well bc it's suppose to be about edgey teens" to "I'm hosting a Racism in Homestuck Workshop (which is a book club that happened to talk about racism when it came up apparently even tho she said it was a dedicated workshop but whatever) to "People make up racism allegations about trans people all the time" like????

Also said she wasn't against people not liking Homestuck or finding it racist, but against people wishing death on Hussie and the majority trans fanbase but her og screenshot about it and calling others transphobic was about a queer media poll and people saying they'd shoot someone or themselves if Homestuck won. Not even liking Homestuck, there was Homestuck fans who voted against it too. But they all were clearly not literal and I know atleast one was made by a trans woman. It's kinda ironic to then have the worst faith interpretation of a trans woman after all those stances.

#soda speaks #tw transmisogyny mention #tw racism mention #also the person on the other side was bechdel and she said she was racist too #and unless she was making jokes about black ppl being on welfare and dropping the n slur it isnt the same now is it? #she did have a point about bechdel being transphobic from what I saw but everything else was wild

[demonic-shadowlucifer]

really tired of reading stupid comments on instagram so time to let out some anger and i dont know which self-proclaimed animal rights activist needs to hear this but... No, dressing animals up in costumes/clothes is NOT animal abuse. No, giving your pets a bath is NOT animal abuse, especially if they have fleas.

No, rehoming animals because the owner can't take care of them anymore (ex. allergies, moving to a new place, etc) does NOT always make said owner a shitty human being.

#shadowrants #might delete later #PETA supporters do not fucking interact #animals #animal abuse mention #this is getting ridiculous #animal welfare

[gaydogmarriage]

tighnari fans stop posting pictures of neglected/irresponsibly kept exotic pets because they remind you of your blorbo challenge

#fennec foxes are cute yes but they are also terrible pets #its bad for you and for the fox #ultimately theyre wild animals and there are things you just cant train into or out of them #and they have a very specific set of care needs including their diet and vet care that are pretty much impossible to meet #unless you can literally run a private zoo i guess #not to mention the whole having to be taken away from their parents way too early to be hand raised by humans thing #please be more skeptical about the welfare and safety of a completely undomesticated wild canine kept in someone's living room #like im no expert on this shit but its very clearly heavily questionable at least #just because you can find websites saying that fennec foxes 'aren't for everyone' doesn't mean people are informed enough about the needs o #this animal and responsible about keeping them. it is far more likely that any pet fox you see on social media is not in fact #being kept in adequate conditions #if people want the animal they will convince themselves that 'not for everyone' doesn't apply to them and overestimate themselves #you should always be skeptical about wild animals in captivity. even those kept by people who claim they've done their research #obviously don't fall for the idea that animals have to be broken out of zoos for their 'freedom' or whatever #just yknow. consider the animal beyond how cute it is. they are living creatures. not just fun internet images #also tighnari would fucking tear you a new one for this his whole job revolves around protecting wildlife from ignorant ppl and vice versa

[ardri-na-bpiteog]

do irish people know you can call out racism without diving enthusiastically into classism instead?

#literally every mention of right wing groups #the comments are full of people with their 'lol dole scroungers at it again' shit #like #you're not really any better than the racists you're criticising #when you're doing so by looking down on social welfare recipients #it definitely makes me think that you're not really motivated by a desire to fight racism #you just want to feel superior

[so0ppa]

fuck finland still but hey at least we didn't do the coward move of abstaining on a vote for ending genocide again. which is like the bare minimum. jesus.

#critxt #politics tag #scuze me im angry queer and living in a country that currently has a right wing government im going to complain #have i mentioned the fact the aid id get as a student is 100% getting cut? hahaQHJAH and they say we have a ''welfare state'' fuck off #is it really if its so easy to remove the aid and money people really need. ugh rhis is why im an anarchist smh

really tiring seeing outdoor cat people try to act like barn cats are gods gifts to farmers. as if a barn cat (likely feral or semi-feral, will not listen to commands, more likely to carry a variety of diseases that can and will absolulutely wreck your livestock, not actually that good at catching mice and rats) is better for pest control than a rat terrier (monitored for health, follows commands, likely fully vaxxed, doesn't spread toxoplasmosis, bred and trained specifically for catching mice and rats)

#like besties. a rat trap is safer and more effective than a fucking barn cat #rat poison may have a ton of drawbacks so i can't exactly say safer but definitely more effective #encouraging natural predators in your area is a big one #not to even mention the fact that if something on your farm is fucked up enough that you have an honest to god #rat or mouse INFESTATION #then a barn cat is a bandaid solution that won't actually solve the problem #if you have an infestation getting a barn cat is treating the symptoms not the disease #animal welfare #outdoor cats #i speak #back on my bullshit (complaining about outdoor cat ppl)

I'm sorry WHAT! how did I not know about this?? Why are Ferrari not promoting this more! like this is cool! Or am I just an idiot and somehow missed it for three years

there is more in the article

#f1 #scuderia ferrari #also this article mentions psychological welfare and I read it as psychological warfare #and I was like YES let's teach the girls some psychological warfare

[uni-vee]

Devs giving us like 2 welfares in 2 months is literally the equivalent of the school nurse giving you an ice pack for broken bones

#not to mention the Thai nikki server just got an announcement they’re shutting down #after months of just one or two welfares alongside diamond sinkhole events #even though that sounds scary since we’re getting the same treatment global is too profitable for Paper #love nikki #vee talks

sorry i wanna show off a little now. does a gay little teehee

edit: i want to be clear that that np3 summer illya was entirely unwanted bc i do not fuck with prillya in any capacity. unfortunately i did want both bryn and kiara who shared a banner with her and the gacha gods chose to blight me with 3 illyas and no kiaras

#ooc #all my np2+ golds (except welfares) plus angra and limited low stars #not pictured: np1 golds #... my lv100 kogil is also not pictured bc this is about np levels but i want to mention that as well #my baby my son boy ever #anyways (scurries off to write)

Working in this office is just fending off all my coworkers offering me a peanut or an almond or a pistachio or a walnut. No thank you I do not like nuts, I say every day, but every day they offer me a peanut or an almond or a pistachio.

#chit chat #food mention #work stuff #at least im not allergic #i also get offered lotion that i AM allergic to but they forget this every day #so it's good that i am not allergic to any food they like #they also do not understand that i am not vegetarian #but that is a different and somewhat unrelated matter because everyone at work has come to the conclusion that im vegetarian #despite the fact that i have beef jerky in my lunchbox quite regularly #i go for some ham n beans at the company potluck and five people stop me 'wait don't eat it there's meat!' #at least they're kind about it??? #most of them anyway #some people give me a lot of shit for being vegan despite the fact that i am not vegan #unluckily for them i do have seven rants locked and loaded about animal welfare and factory farming and agricultural law that i can drop #and if they're annoying they get no mercy #...which probably does not help the 'im not actually vegan' point #eh #i think i need a vegetarian tag despite not even being vegetarian

#my supervisor. who to my knowledge had no prior position on my little meow meow object of study #has been called out by this book im reading for like. well having a different opinion than the author. and i agree with the author #it is very silly but at no point did he MENTION he had skin in this game. he literally. works on federalism im still trying to put the damn #pieces together. WHAT has his 1996 paper on the evolution of welfare got to do with my dead malewife. 🙎‍♀️ #dl

[delta8vape]

so they wanna take away the right to choose but they won’t help families in need. they let children who couldn’t be cared for rot and be abused in foster care. they didn’t help with the formula shortage. they made up the welfare queen. the fucking audacity of this god damn country. i fucking hate it here.

#the welfare queen is only being mentioned bc of the x amount of kids all diff dads bullshit #which the welfare queen is a whole ass other thing #obviously

[invizigothx]

If I had money to blaze a post I would blaze information abt how “child sexual abuse materials” is the a) terminology used by ncmec and similar orgs and b) the terminology all y’all should be using too.

P*rnography and consent is a complex subject but one thing that is 100% clear is that CSAM is not and never will be “p*rn” so stop calling it that

#cw mention of child abuse #you don’t need to be a professional in the field of security or child welfare to have an opinion #but anyone using the phrase cp is almost certainly not a professional #and idk I just feel like if you care that much abt child welfare that you want to fight ppl all day on tumblr #then you could do your fucking research
