As a vegan, I approve

Sadly we would have embraced fascism whether voters elected Trump or Harris/Biden, as we’ve seen with the sentiment towards Palestinians.

With the former, it’s fascism. With the latter, it’s fascism-lite.

Ultimately, we’re going to reach a chilling point that will probably demand a WWIII. When that comes has probably now been accelerated due to Trump winning.

Sanders was our key to fighting fascism. Sadly Obama, Clinton, and Biden all kneecapped him in favor of billionaires and the status quo while claiming no responsibility for the seeds they sewed.

It looks like the recommended Pixelfed instance, pixelfed.social, is running an outdated version of the platform. Aka the instance most new users will login to, and the one I created my account on last year. I guess I could make an account elsewhere, but meh. Hopefully they get that sorted

Fucked up man. Glad I became vegan

Yes

Probably that orca that killed their trainer at SeaWorld in the US a few decades (?) ago

As moral agents that understand the impacts of letting species go extinct due to human activity ruining native habitats and transplanting invasive species, we need to weigh the odds of reducing their freedom for the sake of conserving the population. Think how the California Condor was revived after being declared extinct in the wild in the late 1980s.

What ends up happening with zoos however is that capitalism sinks it’s claws in and influences these zoos to prefer profit over the well being of the animals, even going so far as to ignore scientist/veterinarian advice in favor of their trainers.

So long as it remains profitable to restrict the freedoms of animals (and humans), it will happen. At least until we do something about capitalism

This is why vegans think that people shouldn’t get pets.

Wonder if a nationalized or state-owned utility would have actually invested those funds properly.
