Look at the animals faces and you can see smiles like we have, you can see sadness too. And you can see the fear of a world they don’t understand.

This image has been construed as a sweet moment between a mother and her baby, but that betrays the profound reality of their sad situation. In captivity, these animals will only ever get to experience a small fraction of what their lives could have been. In the wild, they would have had miles and miles of ice to roam across and enjoy the thrill of hunting and interacting in family and social groups. Their lives would have had a very distinct meaning and purposeentirely of their own volition. Instead, they are confined to a glorified prison cell that is artificially cooled and packed with ice to keep them “comfortable.” The extreme boredom and frustration with this tiny ice box will likely lead them to exhibit stereotypic behaviors such as pacing or head bobbing. These pointless, repetitive actions are thought to be physical manifestations of extreme mental distress. According to Polar Bears International, “Some 85 percent of North American polar bears [in zoos] do it, devoting nearly a quarter of their “active day” (i.e. the time they spend alert and moving) to this behavior.”
If anything, this image is a harsh reminder that we owe these incredible animals so much more than a life in captivity. We owe them their wild home and a life free from the threat of starvation, boredom, or any other harm inflicted by humans.
The only way to really protect these animals is by saving their habitat – and this is something we can all do every single day by simply choosing to #EatForThePlanet. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that livestock production is responsible for 14.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, while other organizations like the Worldwatch Institute have estimated it could be as much as 51 percent. Additionally, this destructive industry currently occupies over half of the world’s arable land resources, and uses the majority of our freshwater stores. This system causes rampant air and water pollution, land degradation, deforestation and is pushing countless species to the brink of extinction. And yet, one in eight people still suffer from food scarcity.
“The real war against climate change is being fought on our plates, multiple times a day with every food choice we make,” said Nil Zacharias, co-founder and Editor-in-Chief of One Green Planet, ”one of the biggest challenges facing our planet, and our species is that we are knowingly eating ourselves into extinction, and doing very little about it.”
As the leading organization at the forefront of the conscious consumerism movement, it isOne Green Planet’s view that our food choices have the power to heal our broken food system, give species a fighting chance for survival, and pave the way for a truly sustainable future. By choosing to eat more plant-based foods, you can drastically cut your carbon footprint, save precious water supplies and help ensure that vital crop resources are fed to people, rather than livestock. With the wealth of available plant-based options available andOne Green Planet’s Food Monster App, it has never been easier to eat with the planet in mind.

Obviously you have no idea what the heck a bungee is used for. God, know your shit before you start bagging people out. As a dressage rider, I am quite offended by this. Sure, rollkur is disgusting but excuse me? What? Right? In? Heck? Do? You? Have? To? Say? That? Using? Training? Methods? Is? Equivalent? To? A? Child? Being? Gagged? Like honestly how thick can ya get sweety? Guess what honey! I can BET you my HORSES LIVES that a MAJORITY of riders using these training methods use them, oooh, 1. CORRECTLY and therefore, magically, it doesn’t hurt the horse! Who would’ve guessed!? God, honestly you’ve got to be thick as a 2 bricks glued together to harm a horse by using these. They’re extremely beneficial but hey, you wouldn’t know that because you’ve got so much horse shit and salt in your eyes you can’t see past your own vegan perspectives. Learn a little sweety. Might do you some good.
