eating meat or dairy is antithetical to being #COVID-cautious.

> Experts from both the UN and the European Food Safety Authority have previously identified industrial animal farming as the cause of most new infectious diseases in humans in the past decade, and have likewise warned it risks starting new pandemics.

COVID is a zoonotic disease caused by eating animals. if we want to support #disabled and #immunocompromised folks, going #vegan is one of the single best things we can do to avoid a future #pandemic.

or we could stuff our faces with dead, tortured birds while the avian flu continues to jump from factory farms to wild bird populations and humans. and veganism is #ableist? sure.

the choice is ours.

“The MV Louise Michel is a former French Navy boat we’ve customized to perform search and rescue. Measuring 30 meters in length and capable of up to 28 knots, she was bought with proceeds from the sale of Banksy artwork - who then decorated her with a fire extinguisher. She is operated and crewed by a team of activist rescue professionals drawn from across Europe. Named after the French anarchist Louise Michel, she aims to combine sea rescue with the principles of #feminism, #antiracism and #antifascism. She runs on a flat hierarchy and a #vegan diet.”
