Listening to @pvespertine on @RTElyricfm podcasts on a sunny Dutch Sunday morning... such a pleasure...

Cage: A structure made of metal bars or wire in which animals or birds are kept #AnimalCruelty #EndTheCageAge @ciwf

And so we begin a new chapter. Noteworthy becomes @TJ_Investigates There’s never been a bigger need for investigative journalism in Ireland as there is now. thejournal.ie/contribute/?pi…

@think_or_swim @GeorgeMonbiot Will check that out.

@RedHareColette @GeorgeMonbiot Yes indeed, I read it some weeks back, excellent tear-down of the neoliberal assault on the world. Currently reading Joseph Stiglitz’s ‘The Road to Freedom’, also highly recommended.

Smart, sharp and on-point from writer Sally Rooney. Our current growth-obsessed economic pathway is the road to #climate chaos and ecological ruin. This isn’t a controversial or edgy take, it’s what the science has been screaming at us for literally decades.

Swedish hunters kill more than 150 brown bears in first days of annual cull “Campaigners denounce ‘pure slaughter’, which could threaten survival of entire Scandinavian population” Why does humankind persist in this war on nature? #Tragic Shame on #Sweden theguardian.com/environment/ar…

Pigs -- and ALL farm animals -- are just as deserving of our compassion and consideration as dogs and cats. So why does the #meat industry get away with treating *these* animals like they don't matter? 🤨 #GoVegan

“Exclusive: Angry workers yell expletives at frightened animals, bash them with poles, kick and hit them with chains, secret filming shows” Yet more abuse of sentient farm animals, #heartbreaking 💔 All thanks @JournoJane for making this public independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

Today we are launching The Journal Investigates - our new home for groundbreaking investigative journalism Building on the award-winning work of Noteworthy, our new venture is dedicated to lifting the lid on how Ireland works: jrnl.ie/6486210t

A bit late to the party, but just finished the audiobook version of @GeorgeMonbiot and Hutchinson's book "The invisible doctrine", and it is great! A 🧵 of what stuck with me and some thoughts...

General election candidate Sarah O’Reilly @sarahreilly30 (@AontuIE #Cavan #Monaghan #Bailieborough #Cootehill) is in favour of pheasant shooting & has outrageously stated that hunting has "a great mental health benefit" 👎👎 Reject candidates who support bloodsports #GE24 #GE25

The Shorthorn Express left last night for Casablanca, with over 2,000 young bulls on board. It's a short sea journey of 5 days but records show many bulls still suffer from respiratory illness and leg injuries and several have died during previous shipments of pneumonia, broken leg and unknown causes. Plus Morocco has appalling animal welfare standards, particularly at slaughter. I doubt @DoyleShipping understands exactly what they are involved in, and profiting from. #EnoughIsEnough #StopLiveExport

On this fine sunny day whilst tourists are enjoying the scenery at Greenore port thousands of young bulls are loading onto a ship bound for North Africa. Another sweltering sea journey in a hideous vessel just to face a brutal slaughter, thanks to @DoyleShipping who is profiting from cruelty #EnoughIsEnough #StopLiveExport

The power and authenticity of this brought tears to my eyes. This woman is smart, decent and bloody articulate. Love triumphs over hate and division. One race. One people. No divisions. Humanity.

250 signatures left to 2k! This person spraying has been supplied with all the proper PPE - suit, P3 filter - hopefully to spray the public road & keep him safe. Look at the pedestrians - where's their protection? Ask yourself - why is this necessary? An obsession with clean?

Serendipitous ahead of today’s @lstwrd on Environment item on #greenwashing with @cooper_m to spot this @circlekireland oil tanker on M8 just now. It “runs on hydrotreated vegetable oil”. Ssssssh, just don’t ask about the thousands of litres of *fossil fuels* it’s hauling.

All animals deserve a life worth living, where they can carry out all natural behaviours including caring for their young. A new movement of dairy farming, where calves stay with mum, is growing across Europe and in other parts of the world. There is a better way of doing things.

Momentum is slowing on this so appreciate any shares/reposts It's purpose is simple - address overuse of herbicides in Ireland within a 2 year period. This is the BARE MINIMUM we can ask in a biodiversity crisis. my.uplift.ie/petitions/stop…

Devon farm blasted after piglets thumped against walls & bin full of dead piglets found “The footage is distressing, not because it is an example of extreme horrors that are possible but because it’s not rare” The way we treat fellow species shames us all uk.news.yahoo.com/devon-farm-bla…
