  • Very good explanation on why it’s not a personal choice.

    This is how I explain it to people: The animals we eat aren’t able to stand up for themselves, so some people try to do that for them. Kust like how activists do this for dogs or orangutans. It’s not against personal choice, but about trying to protect those who are hurt by the choices of others.

    Besides, we all share the same planet and animal agriculture has a big impact on it. So it’s not like our choices don’t affect others.

    Exactly. Bus drivers are better trained than regular drivers. In that respect I used to trust them more. But they are also people who might be into car culture. My partner had a London bus overtake her in an intersection and brake check her while she was cycling. Multiple times in a row. It was super dangerous. We complained to the bus company and they reported back that they put the driver on a mandatory training.






  • It wasn’t even worth making fun over because it just confirmed they care more about saving donkeys than civilians or children.

    This is from the article:

    “We have destroyed Gaza, but I don’t feel any guilt,” she said. “It’s the animals I care about, not those poor people [the Palestinians] for whom I can do nothing.”

    There is lots of stuff to criticise about what they do. However… generally, I think the fact that an animal rescue keeps being focussed on animals makes sense. There are charities in Ukraine too that find cats and dogs that have lost their owners. There isn’t anything wrong with that.

    I’m only commenting on this aspect. There is a lot of racism in the way this person/rescue appears to operate.
