HI HELLO! AND WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

This is speciesism!

My name is Calico! I'm an adult and I use she/they/it/any pronouns except for he/him along with you/your and thou/thee second person pronouns. And this blog is for anything speciesist or anything that is bigoted or against animals, plants, fungai, or nature in general!

I don't have a dni and anybody can send an ask. I'm friendly towards all folk, creatures, critters, cryptids, humans, and beings. This is also a delusion and IRL safe spot.

Although speciesism is usually defined as "the assumption of human superiority leading to the exploitation of animals," - I am extending this blog towards mistreatment of all of nature.

Forests, oceans, ice caps, mushrooms, nature in general, as I feel as if the assumption of human superiority overlaps and causes the exploitation of all of nature, not just animals.

Please also keep in mind that this blog is not a vegan blog. Not everyone can sustainably become vegan. Some bodies cannot sustain a vegan diet. Some people live in food deserts and don't have the money to drive to a place where they can buy vegan food. Many Native Americans live on reservations and are required to hunt in order to survive. Many religions and spiritual practices see hunting and consuming animal products as a sacred act.

This isn't the place to complain about people not being vegan. But you ABSOLUTELY can bring up how horrific things such as fur farming, mass company fishing, and modern agriculture is. You ABSOLUTELY can bring up abhorrent food dishes that require unnecessary brutality such as ortolan or pinikpikan, but make sure to criticize such dishes without xenophobia or racism.

This blog does not have a DNI! This is a blog about sharing speciesist experiences, not a personal blog! Anybody can experience this and I will not bar somebody from sharing their experiences even if we share differing beliefs!

It's just. It's the dismissiveness that pisses me off the most. We can have a debate about the ethics of these industries if you want. But to sarcastically mock the very concept that animals might be treated poorly in a system that literally sells their body parts for profit, to the point where you dismiss the idea out of hand without doing any research at all, is frankly insane.

So many carnists act like talking about speciesism automatically means you’re erasing more “important” issues like no this is still because of capitalism and hierarchical society you just don’t care about animals

Animal agriculture is like "what if instead of eating plant protein, we give all of our plants to animals, lose like 90% of caloric value down the food chain resulting in unmanageable workload with low output, cause global starvation epidemic, clear every forest on Earth, monocrop, and cause climate change-- BUT it comes with the added bonus of torturing and murdering animals!" And 99% of humans just nodded their heads along like "that is so fucking cool I really enjoy the part of torturing animals and consuming the flesh of innocent babies, especially considering it's optional and not necessary at all"
