Human arrogance. Dogs should NEVER have been selectively bred to suit ANY human purpose. Breeding any animal for profit should be illegal and carry long prison sentences.

The Epstein War is costing Americans $11,500 PER SECOND.

I don’t EVER want to hear another fucking Conservative say we can’t afford universal healthcare.

In my experience, the worst part is trying to get out word about the book.
The promotion is aggravating and frustrating.
For me, it pretty much kills the motivation to write another book.

Also with anesthesia dehorning is mutilation 👺Keeping a calf down like this is abuse 😡With lame excuses animal fHarmers cut off horns tails teeth and testicles. Animal fHarming is backward outdated and cruel. Why pay for abuse when you don’t have to? #EndAnimalExploitation #LiveVegan do no harm ✌️

I know this firsthand. I had to do it as a kid on our family farm. It was traumatic for me then.

Over time it gave me insights about our cruelty to animals, our domination of the living world.

So I wrote this book.

I grew up on a family farm and I had to do cruel shit like this— and worse —to conform.
The prevailing norms told me it was necessary.
It was not.
I regret every second of it.

The reason we cling to our companion animals at times like this is that they manifest calm and sanity, while we struggle to cope with the outbursts of madness and violence among Homo sapiens today.
Civilization my ass!

Less than six moths away from their death 💔Completely innocent. Pigs can live for 15-20 years. Not knowing that the human monsters are their worst enemy. Completely defenseless against: abuse torture mutilation and finally their slaughter Stop being part of this #LiveVegan be an example for others 🙏

There is a madness woven into Western civilization.
The late biologist/ecologist Paul Shepard wrote about it years ago.
“ a kind of madness arises from our nature-busting self- and world-denial…“
For more on this, see my book recently released—

The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.

$1.5T defense budget
$170B on ICE & Border Patrol
$100B on tax cuts for the 1%
$20B from Treasury for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$300M on Kristi Noem's jets
$100M+ for Trump to golf
$75k+ for Kash Patel's Olympic trip

And now $50B in emergency funding for war in Iran?

Priorities.

Civilizations have loved war for maybe 5000 or 6000 years.

Indeed, civilizations are built on a war.

We glorify it with monuments and statues and parades and flags and flashy uniforms and hero worship.
Permanent war culture= permanent wars.

I’d rather have low-cost public transportation and a continental high speed rail system than 400 kinds of shampoo and car repair insurance.

Mullin got 60% of the vote in Oklahoma?

What does that say about Oklahoma voters?

And the model was Animal agriculture. Enslaved people were regarded as another kind of livestock.

And yet many of you still believe that Animal rights/freedom issue is silly and irrelevant.

I just heard that Trump is dumping ICE Barbi Noem and replacing her with OK senator Mark Wayne Mullen as head of Department of Homeland security.

Published writers, friends and agents tell me that the book business right now is going to the toilet. A handful of us buy and read books. All the rest do Instagram and TikTok and all such online stuff.

It’s no wonder we love war, warriors, and all of its glories.
Our great ancestor civilizations were built on it.
The warrior nations dominated others for their land, treasures, and slaves.
Warfare brought more wealth and power.
Thus empires were built. And the war culture was born.
