My Favorite Vegan Memes
June 03, 2025
Most people look away, but the suffering remains. This powerful image reminds us that cruelty hides in plain sight, disguised as normal. Open your eyes, open your heart—compassion starts with awareness. Choose kindness. Choose vegan. 🌱
Highly recommend: "What a Fish Knows: The Inner Lives of Our Underwater Cousins" ( Jonathan Balcombe). I learned so much from this book.
A clip from a review of the book: "we rarely consider how individual fishes think, feel, and behave. Balcombe upends our assumptions about fishes, portraying them not as unfeeling, dead-eyed feeding machines but as sentient, aware, social, and even Machiavellian―in other words, much like us."
An important reminder and outstanding comment on this important topic.
As a boy, I used to love to “go fishing”, but in time felt sad whenever I would see the glass eyes of dead fish in the frozen section of the supermarket. I would reflect that I would so much prefer to see them swimming freely in rivers, lakes, ponds and the ocean.
It is my understanding that the industrial fishing industry hauls more than a trillion fish from the oceans, which seems not only unsustainable but positively insane.
Truly astonishing how little most Homo sapiens consider the ramifications of their dietary choices, which clearly need to change for the better.
