As children, before we were indoctrinated, we knew that there wasn't much difference between stabbing a puppy and stabbing a pig.
And we also knew that there wasn't much difference between stabbing someone directly and paying someone to do it for us.

A bold new initiative from Oregon-- 𝐈𝐏𝟐𝟖--gets it right: killing #wildlife is usually unnecessary and unconscionable.
Let's start acting like global wildlife populations dropped by 73% in 50 years and we're in the sixth mass extinction-- because we are.

Learn why (and how) more and more farmers are transitioning away from raising animals for the meat industry and growing speciality crops instead. 🐖➡️🍄 All with help from The Transfarmation Project! theguardian.com/environment/…

Good to know: @MercyForAnimals' Transfarmation project offers funding and certification for farmers who want out of the exploitative animal farming industry and into the plant-based sector.

Oregon animal rights measure one step closer to November ballot: 'We're asking for a big shift' kgw.com/article/news/politic…
Yes On IP28 retweeted
A possible referendum in Oregon on animal rights would end fishing, hunting, even pest control, just when Democrats are trying really hard not to be seen as “weirdos again.” @annargriff reports for @nytimes:

Oregon may go beyond what the American public accepts now, but anyone who thinks animal rights today is a simple Democrat vs Republican issue—or is unaware of major shifts happening, from testing on beagles to factory pig farming—isn’t paying attention.

NYT writes:
A new animal rights measure in Oregon has Democratic leaders like Gov. Tina Kotek going out on a limb. They want voters to know they’re just as committed to killing animals as Republicans.
The measure, known for now as Initiative Petition 28, is the stuff of political nightmares for Democratic leaders in Washington. It would give all animals the same protections from cruelty that Oregon grants dogs and cats, and in the process remake the state’s economy and dinner plates.
Hunting, trapping and fishing would be outlawed, along with scientific research on animals, lethal pest control and conventional livestock production.
The goal, said David Michelson, a substitute teacher, vegan and the petition’s organizer, “is to have a system where we’re not killing or hurting animals anymore.”

I would sign that petition if I lived there. Excellent. We need to stop victimizing others and being racist (caring only about the "human race.")

Has the world (or at least Oregon) gone mad?
If animal agriculture doesn’t get legal exemptions from animal cruelty and bestiality laws it won’t be able to continue! 🤯
Do you really want a world without slaughterhouses? 😡
Many don't know, but we're 4th-gen Oregonians--& since 1981, our family has peacefully farmed tens of thousands of dogs for meat. Yet Initiative Petition 28 is threatening our very livelihood. #noip28

Do you know what species you’re eating for lunch? Not “chicken”—which chicken? What kind? Did you know there are dozens of breeds, each with different temperaments?

"Abuse one animal, and you can be charged with a felony; abuse a million, and you have a business model."
The animal exploitation industries are exempt from our cruelty laws. It's time we remove those exemptions. #yesonip3

Could rats soon have better access to birth control than women? Well, let's hope everyone can have access! NY is testing a pilot program that is more humane for everyone and for the sake of all animals, we hope this becomes the norm and all rodenticides and traps are banned.

26 states have citizen-initiated ballots/referenda.
If citizens propose a law and collect enough signatures, their idea can be placed on next election's ballot for everyone to consider.
Your state isn't listed?
No worries!
Cities & counties have ballot box initiatives too.

What if #AnimalRights activists went all out: proposed a ban on killing #animals?
That's David Michelson's goal via Oregon's IP28🗳️
Join David-- and 5 other ballot-initiative Campaign Leaders-- on Dec. 5th, as he describes the idealism driving him and his plans to make it happen.

I have seen animals in the moments before slaughter - shuddering as they await the blade. And that will NEVER be ok. Even one violent death is one too many.
We should say this. Because it's in our hearts. Because it's true. And because heartfelt truths can change everything.

VICTORY! The initiative to ban concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) has qualified for the ballot in Sonoma County with over 25,000 valid signatures. County residents will be able to vote to protect animals, the planet, and their communities from the harms of factory farming. Sonoma County would be the first in the nation to pass this type of legislation and it could have groundbreaking implications for animals everywhere.
Huge thank you to all of the volunteers who collected signatures to get this on the ballot, and to the thousands of Sonoma County voters who signed.
