⚠️Pig truck driver threatens activists with a hammer!! Indiana Packers - Delphi, Indiana, U.S.A ~ Activists were NOT touching the truck, they only wanted to film the animals inside. ~ But vegans are violent and extreme??! What would have happened if the situation was reversed and activists screamed abuse at truck drivers and slaughterhouse workers with hammers in our hands?? ~ THIS is how effective @thesavemovement vigils are, THIS is how threatened the animal exploiting industries are by animal rights activists! ~ If there's nothing wrong with transporting animals to their murder, then why can't we see inside the trucks? 🤔 What's the big deal with a few vegans and their cameras? ~ If this is how the meat industry treats and threatens WOMEN in public while being filmed, we can only imagine how they treat the animals behind closed doors when nobody is watching. ~ The police were called and they were unsympathetic to the activists, apparently saying that if someone got hurt it would be "self defense"! What a load of 💩 Would they say the same thing if the hammer/weapon was carried by the activists? ~ As nerve-wracking as this video is, it's also a very good sign ... the animal rights movement is effective and industry is scared. Let's keep applying pressure and exposing the truth. ~ ➡️PLEASE SHARE this post to show people who the "violent" ones really are⬅️ ~ "Going vegan is not the most we can do, it's the least we can do" - That Vegan Couple. ~ Thanks for sending us this video @britandcam https://www.instagram.com/p/BnqHISUH2Rp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bfnzkoiohjtd

We met the incredible Dr Neal Barnard of the @physicianscommittee at the recent @ukvegancampout 😁 ~ We'd previously interviewed Dr Barnard via Skype for our YouTube channel, and he also interviewed Natasha for her story featured in his fantastic book 'The Cheese Trap', however we had not had the honor of meeting him in person until the Camp Out. ~ We were fortunate to have this photo taken following his inspiring talk which ended with a standing ovation from the jam-packed hall 👏 ~ He is such a nice, funny, smart, articulate, and hard working man and meeting him in person was a huge bucket-list moment for us 🙌 ~ We remain in awe at the brilliant and tireless work he and his organization have done for animals over the past 30+ years, and continue to do to this day. Of special note is the work he and @physicianscommittee have done regarding ending animal testing in universities, publishing peer reviewed scientific papers on reversing type 2 diabetes with a low fat, vegan diet, and suing the USDA for conflicts of interest regarding the Nutrition Guidelines for all Americans 👏 ~ The #vegan movement would not be what it is today without people like Dr Barnard ✊🖤 ~ "Going vegan is not the most we can do, it's the least we can do" - That Vegan Couple. ~ 📸 @andrew_gough (at UK Vegan Camp-Out) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnXNTqnHcxQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jf38z5lna7jm

Annnnd THIS is why we still have trillions of innocent animals murdered every year!When people are held back from the truth and education, they blindly pay for the suffering of others. ~ This woman was genuinely interested in our @anonymousforthevoiceless Cube of Truth, she stopped for a few seconds and then her partner physically pulled her away 😑 ~ If there's nothing wrong with slitting the throats of animals, then why didn't he want the woman to stay and watch the screens? Why didn't he want Natasha to outreach her? ~ Most people acknowledge what we do to animals is wrong and unnecessary, but change is so scary that they rather stay willfully ignorant and continue paying for murder, than buy plants. ~ All Natasha could do was quickly reach out and give her a card with more resources in the hope she would look the truth up in her own time. ~ Don't turn away from the suffering of animals... witness it, and then choose to cause the least amount of suffering to others by choosing vegan; after all, it's the least we can do.

Ohhh look, a pretty Instagram post from That Vegan Couple that's not about animal holocaust! 😌 See, we can still take normal, happy photos of food 😋😉 ~ Loved this healthy macrobiotic bowl from @living_kitchen in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Adzuki beans, quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, kale, sauerkraut, lemon tahini sauce ... our kind of food👌 ~ Desperately trying to catch up on work today ... excellent outreach video from Natasha coming out next, and a new Podcast episode is on the way ... we just can't keep up with content production on this tour 😣 Exhaustion is real 😥 ~ If you're in NYC, join us for a @directactioneverywhere disruption tonight! ✊ Monday June 18th 7:30 - 8:30pm Meeting location: Starbucks at 1841 Broadway. This non-violent disruption will take place at a market. Details will be disclosed on the day at the event briefing. All materials will be provided. ~ ➡️➡️➡️ Go to our Facebook page (That Vegan Couple), click on EVENTS for all details. PLEASE click "Going" if you are. (at Living Kitchen)

On National Animal Rights Day (NARD), we had the honor of meeting @thatveganactivistfamily. ~ Parents Kayla and Mike are the organizers for... wait for it... FOUR different animal rights groups!!!! They are the organizers for @okeechobeeanimalsave, @orlandoanimalsave, and the Orlando chapters of @anonymousforthevoiceless and @directactioneverywhere 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 ~ They are the epitome of "going vegan is not the most we can, it's the least we can do!" 👊😉 ~ On NARD, Kayla was 35 weeks pregnant with her third child and bearing witness for 3 hours at Florida's largest dairy prison farm, McArthur Dairy Farm, in 100 degree Fahrenheit heat!!! 😲😓 ~ Also, not all that long ago, they nearly lost their family home, and yet they remained active throughout. ~ This power couple and their family's extraordinary commitment to animal rights activism are an example and reminder to all of us that we can all do much, much more to help in the fight for the rights of our animal cousins ✊ ~ Their example urges us all to not let all too common excuses like family commitments, weather, life, work, etc get in the way of being as active for animals as we can be. ~ So, if you've been thinking of getting active for animals but have been making excuses, just think of Kayla and Mike. And if you're already active for animals and you've been thinking about becoming an organizer but have been making excuses, think of Kayla and Mike. Because every single extra action we each take collectively brings us one step closer to animal liberation. ~ We were interviewed on June 3 on @okeechobeeanimalsave Facebook live stream, check that out to see how the day went. ~ Thank you Kayla and Mike for your inspiration 🙏✌ (at Okeechobee, Florida)

Tbt our @anonymousforthevoiceless Cube of Truth event in San Francisco. Thank you to @naturallycheyenne for organizing the event and the ... activists who attended... what a fun photo, right? 🙌 ~ And that's the thing, believe it or not, animal rights activism can be fun at times too. Yes we are serious the vast majority of the time because we are literally fighting for the lives of innocent, defenseless animals. And yet, perhaps because we are all aware that unfortunately, as much as we all want to, we're not going to bring about animal liberation overnight and that this fight is going to take considerable time, we also take time to celebrate the small wins; post Cube of Truth group photos are one example of this, as are post Cube of Truth group meals. ~ So we strongly encourage all vegans who are not yet active to join their local @anonymousforthevoiceless chapter, get involved in Cubes of Truth, and experience the good vibes that come from being active for animals together with other like-minded people. ~ We were thrilled to see several first-time activists like @karleemangoes @chrisschard @plantbased_khaleesi and @plant_power_kyle, amongst others, who were inspired by our Activism Workshop the night before at @nickskitchendc to come along and get involved. ~ We still have Meet-ups and Activism Workshops to come in New York, Boston, and Chicago 🙌 Check out event details on our Facebook page under 'Events' 👍

When Gary Yourofsky recommends a menu item and insists that you try it... you try it! 🤣 ~ @detvegansoul Breakfast Sandwich with vegan sausage, tofu egg, veganaise, and more 👌🤤 ~ With veganism you give up nothing, you simply stop taking what's not yours... and have the vegan version instead! 🙌😄 (at Detroit Vegan Soul (D.V.S))

Bucket list: meet Gary Yourofsky ✔ We've had an amazing last two days in Detroit. We met Gary and his wife Erika for lunch... they messaged later that night saying they had so much fun and asked if they could see us again before we left. So we met for dinner last night too. We'd exchanged emails over the years, but this was an instant, beautiful connection... like 4 old friends connecting 💚 ~ Absolutely amazing experience!! Gary is retired now and doesn't want to be interviewed, but we can tell you about him. He is very misunderstood. He has a VERY big heart and feels deeply. Yes he's very angry, but we also saw love in him. He tells the most unbelievable, jaw-dropping stories that had us on the edge of our seats! And he is sooo funny! He speaks exactly like in his speech... he's loud, passionate, intense, and often forceful... but he's a no bullsh*t guy and says exactly what needs to be said. He's our kind of guy and we got on like a house on fire! 😉 ~ Having the man who removed our blinders admire and compliment our work, and give us a pep-talk, was priceless. He said go as hard as we can for as long as we can, and then pass it on... because no one can do this forever... the mental, emotional and physical toll is too much. After 2,660 speeches, endless debates, jail time, working on the frontline, and so much more, he has done more for this movement than probably anyone else to date, and now he needs time to heal. ~ We are doing what we do today because 7 years ago we watched Gary's speech on YouTube. In that speech, he introduced himself as an animal liberation activist and he said "root word: active". And that really stuck with us all these years. If we were being tortured and murdered, we'd want someone like Gary fighting for us! On behalf of everyone he has helped, we hugged him and thanked him. He walked away saying "love you". ~ So, inspired by Gary, we stay active and we keep going for the animals... ~ ➡️ Friday 8th June Detroit @anonymousforthevoiceless Cube of Truth. 6 - 9pm. ~ ➡️ Saturday 9th June Charlotte, NC Meet-up and Activism Workshop 5:30pm @living_kitchen Southpark. Go to our Facebook page under Events for details of all our events. (at Detroit Vegan Soul (D.V.S))

We finally had a chance to hang out with this awesome vegan couple, @paulbashir_av and @asal__av founders of @anonymousforthevoiceless 🙌 ~ They've achieved so much in just over 2 years... AV has held events in 639 cities, across approximately 60 countries around the world, and convinced over 200,000 people to take veganism seriously 😲 ~ If you've never taken part in a Cube of Truth, look up a chapter in your city on Facebook or the Anonymous for the Voiceless website, and get involved. Cubes are a powerful and very effective form of activism that anyone can do! And if there isn't a chapter in your city, start one 😉 ~ Thanks Paul and Asal for your hard work, friendship, and lots of laughs 😘 (at Yerba Buena Gardens)

Woke up at 3am to read a long message complaining about what we said in our Activism Workshop the other night. This woman is a plant eater, speciesist, thinks veganism and feeding your dog vegan is a privilege, and didn't like us comparing animal rights to other social justice movements. She thinks we make vegans look bad. Oh, she also didn't appreciate that our workshop went over time 😑 ~ 1 hour after reading that, we arrived at a slaughterhouse for a Vigil @windsordetroitfarmsave 22 people turned up at 4am, in the freezing cold, to be there for the animals. For the majority of people, it was their first vigil and they came because of our workshop. We are overwhelmed with gratitude and pride! ~ Moral of the story... advocate for animals the same way you would want someone to advocate for your life. NEVER let apologetic, speciesist, plant eaters deter you from delivering a strong message. Stop caring about what others think, and do what's right. Speak up loud, strong, and force people to take animal rights seriously. The post below is all we need to know we're on the right track ✊ ~ Regrann from @mburbano1 - Got up at 2:30am this morning, we bore witness and said goodbye to some innocent sentient beings. When you witness injustice, you have three options: 1. You take part on what is going on. 2. You do not contribute, and walk away. 3. You actively try to stop 🛑 it. Thank you @that_vegan_couple for inspiring me to choose option 3 (being an active vegan) moving forward. For two years I was stuck on 2 (only being vegan). It is only logical to choose the most moral option. #goingveganisnotthemostwecandoitistheleastwecando - #regrann (at Detroit, Michigan)

Thanks @omcafe_ferndale for these epic burgers 🙏👌 We ordered the tempeh burger, dropped the cheese and added avocado instead ... don't let the poor lighting in this photo deceive you because seriously it was probably the best burger we've ever had!! 👏👏 ~ The tempeh patty was super hearty and chunky which we LOVED! 👌 The roasted garlic aioli was also a hit, as was the pickle 😍 ~ Remember, nobody needs to suffer and die for our tastebuds. ~ #vegan #burger (at Om Cafe)

On National Animal Rights Day (NARD), we beared witness with 40+ activists at an @okeechobeeanimalsave vigil outside Florida's largest dairy prison farm, McArthur Dairy Farm in Okeechobee, supplier to Dean Foods. ~ Not long ago, Animal rights organization A.R.M. released shocking undercover footage from this prison. Amongst other acts of cruelty, cows' teats were being burned with blow torches, and cows were being stabbed with sharp-ended rods to get them to comply. ~ We witnessed dairy cows with swollen udders and mastitis. Their udders were swollen because they are selectively bred, and their feed is manipulated, so that they produce around 10 times the amount of milk they would naturally. They had mastitis because their teats become inflamed and infected from being hooked up to milking machines 2 - 3 times a day for several years. ~ We also witnessed hundreds of female dairy calves in hutches made of what looked like nothing more than chicken wire and a tarp. They had all been stolen from their mothers on their first day of life and will remain in these hutches for 2 months (unless one of the many lurking vultures pecks their eye out and kills them), after which they will be sent off to be impregnated, and then return to the prison farm to join their mothers as milk slaves. ~ Their brothers were also stolen from their mothers, however they were nowhere to be seen as they're kidnapped from their mothers on their first day of life and then either murdered within 1 - 5 days, or raised for around 18 weeks and then murdered for veal. If this is all news to you as it once was to us, we recommendc watching "Dairy is Scary" on YouTube. ~ The dairy industry is barbaric, unnatural, and unnecessary; especially in 2018 when alternatives for milk, cheese, butter, ice-cream, yoghurt, and cream all exist. Let's #DitchDairy and choose vegan ✌ (at Okeechobee, Florida)

Today we learned that @miamiseaquarium_ has been keeping a majestic orca named Lolita as an entertainment slave for 47 YEARS in the smallest orca slave tank in the world - only 4 times the size of her body!! SHAME on you @miamiseaquarium_ 😑 ~ 20 activists stood for hours in the blazing midday sun to raise awareness and educate the public via placarding, leafleting, speaking, and disrupting this slave park. This was part of a long-running weekly protest and activists will not stop turning up until every animal is free ✊ ~ Please watch the documentary film Blackfish on @netflix to learn the truth about how sentient, highly intelligent and sensitive beings are kidnapped from their families in the wild and endure sometimes decades of psychological torture to perform for humans. ~ NEVER support these horrifically cruel animal exploiting industries; there are plenty of other ways to be entertained like going to the beach or visiting a rescued animal sanctuary for example. (at Miami Seaquarium)

Have you ever read such bull💩 propaganda from the dairy industry?! (read their post below) ~ Got to love how they make out that they're doing calves a favor and keeping them safe, clean and healthy by stealing them from their mothers, and chaining them in hutches 😒 Watch #DairyIsScary for the truth. ~ Tbh the dairy industry's desperation is a beautiful thing to watch... they know they'll be the first animal slavery industry to die, so their propaganda is strong, but the #postmilkgeneration aren't stupid. ~ World Milk Day... sure, raise a glass for soy, almond, hemp, coconut, rice, hazelnut, oat, flax, pea milk... and the list goes on 😋 ~ Regrann from @ada_mideast - Today we went live on Facebook from Wabash Way Holsteins in Northeast Ohio. Did you know that, for the first three months, most calves live in clean, dry individual pens, or hutches, that have ample space for the calf to move freely. This helps protect them from germs or diseases that can be passed on from adult cows—and it allows for individual care and attention. - #regrann
