Elephants are people! Other animals are people too! Wake up! We are in the sixth great extinction event right now and it isn't the domestic livestock, which are 90% of animals over the size of a chicken on the planet, who are at risk of extinction.

They are not merely things to be exploited to exhaustion. #extinction #nonhumanrightsproject @david.attenborough_official @wildaidhk @streetartnews @streetart_official @shoreditch_art @shoreditchgrind #streetsculpture #writingonthewall #vegan #respectanimals
