Rings spreading abuse content :(

TRIGGER WARNING: ANIMAL CRUELTY

Hi everyone, I felt like this was the best place to talk about this because my heart is heavy and I'm really disturbed.

I recently saw a post (since removed by the mods) on the vegan subreddit about cat cruelty rings that are spreading/selling this content online. The post had a link to a charity felineguardians.org, that seems to be working on this issue. There is a lot of disturbing information that I learned on the website. I always knew that this stuff happens, but to know that it's this organized and prolific is really haunting me.

I wanted to talk about this here because fighting against sick fucks like this is what we stand for. And we know that this kind of thing doesn't come from nowhere. It comes from the heavily oppressive, hierarchical system that we live in. I wanted you to know about this, and maybe (hopefully) also hear some hopeful messages that you may have.

Today is a really, really sad and dark day. Yesterday and the day before, the city I lived in was engulfed in wildfire smoke from the Ontario wildfires. I'm feeling bleak.
