Cow blowing was the reason why Gandhi abjured cow milk, saying that “since I had come to know that the cow and the buffalo were subjected to the process of phooka ( Cow Blowing), I had conceived a strong disgust for milk.”
What kind of sick fuck discovered this?!

Harlan is the UK’s last remaining breeder of beagles for use in experiments.
Harlan owns two breeding sites – Interfauna in Wyton, Cambridgeshire and Hillcrest in Belton, Loughborough. They have been exposed for abusing beagles in their care on several occasions.
We are calling for the closure of both sites or, at the very least, an immediate public enquiry into Harlan’s care and treatment of beagles.
In 2011, Harlan was exposed for animal cruelty and neglect in The Sunday Times; a former employee reported seeing staff punching and kicking beagles, shaving profanities into their fur, and daubing their faces with felt tips. He also revealed how the dogs – kept in dirty, cramped pens – grow so frightened and frustrated, they fight to the death or self-harm.
Harlan beagles will NEVER see daylight or breathe fresh air, except when they are transported to laboratories across the world.
It is inside these laboratories that ‘man’s best friend’ is tortured and mutilated in cruel experiments. Most beagles will have been experimented on several times before dying (if the tests don’t kill them, they are euthanised).The breeding of beagles for use in experiments is morally reprehensible and testing human medicines on animals = outdated, fallible science.

This is a picture of Luke Rowles when he was 15. He saw a group of men in a garden, kicking and beating this poor fox whose mouth had been sealed shut with duct tape. Lucas went straight to them without regard to his own safety, he shouted at the men and grabbed the fox. After healing his wounds, he freed the animal. Today, Luke continues rescuing animals for the RSDR - The world needs more brave people like Luke, with an unconditional will to help those in need.

This blog focuses on the issue of fur, but I would like to raise awareness to all animals used for clothing and accessories. Feathers are extremely cruel. Please don’t buy any feather accessories or goose down products.
You’re not a free spirit, dream catching flower child if you’re wearing feathers. Feathers are extremely cruel. When you see feathers, you should think of fur. 🐺
A rule of thumb for buying any mainstream animal product: even if you’re not consuming flesh, the animal suffered and was eventually killed. Farmers aren’t sitting around waiting for natural molting.
Feathers are often ripped off chickens, geese, ostriches and emus in live plucking. This can result in gaping wounds that are sewn up with a needle and thread without anesthetic. ✂
The same is true for “Down Feathers.” Typically, ducks and geese are lifted by their necks, their legs are tied, and their feathers are ripped out. The struggling birds often sustain injuries during plucking. They are then returned to their cages until they are ready to be plucked again.
The birds are live-plucked for the first time at about ten weeks old, and are plucked again four to six times a year until they are sent to slaughter at about four years old. (Ducks and geese can live about 12 to 15 years.) Others go on to be force-fed for the production of foie gras.
There is such a thing as “natural drop feathers” but I find their origins dubious and I will not wear them. To me, wearing “cruelty free” feathers is the same as wearing vintage fur, It perpetuates the myth that it’s okay to use animals and that wearing feathers is cool. Feathers are not cool. They’re incredibly cruel. Fake for the animal’s sake! #vegansofig
