World Farm Animals Day
Created in memory of Gandhi, who advocated respecting all animals, National Farm Animal Day is about the crucial and often mistreated farm creatures.
Farm animals are delightfully cute, especially baby farm animals with their squeaks and squeals, running and playing. Even more than that, farm animals also play an important role in modern society. Take some time to appreciate them this World Farm Animals Day!
History of National World Farm Animals Day
Established in memory of Mahatma Gandhi, who believed in treating all living beings with respect, World Farm Animals Day was founded to highlight the poor conditions suffered by some farm animals, and promote awareness in the hope something may be done to improve the lives of these innocent creatures. The first World Farm Animals Day was celebrated in 1983 as part of an international movement for the rights of farm animals.
Sometimes also called the World Day for Farmed Animals (WDFA), this day aims to raise awareness for and commemorate the 65 billion land animals who are raised for food every year. Since most people believe that animals should not be harmed unnecessarily, this day seeks to bring together those who are passionate about farm animal welfare and working to make changes!
How to Celebrate World Farm Animals Day
Show some love and attention to these often overlooked creatures by celebrating World Farm Animals Day. Get involved with the day in a variety of creative ways, including some of these ideas:
Celebrate World Farm Animals Day with Children
Although World Farm Animals Day has an important, and somewhat sad, origin in the sense that it was created to raise awareness of suffering, it can be celebrated in different ways, particularly with children.
Taking children for a visit to a farm is a great way to teach them about farm animals, and it may also be a good chance to instill in them the message of treating animals with respect. Teachers might want to take an opportunity on World Farm Animals Day to create lessons around the different farm animals, how they contribute and why they are important in the world today. From preschoolers to older children, this day offers a perfect opportunity to grow a generation of responsible humans who treat all creatures well!
Change Some Eating Habits
World Farm Animals Day is actually a great day for a person to make a commitment to try to incorporate fewer animal products in their diet. Perhaps it’s not realistic to immediately become a vegan and cut out all animal products. However, it might be a good time to commit to taking one day a week for the family to prepare meals without meat. Or perhaps this is a good time to make the switch from dairy milk (which many humans really don’t process well anyway!) to drinking plant-based milk such as oat, soy, almond or another alternative.
In addition, taking care about where animal products are sourced from can make a huge difference. For instance, commit to purchasing cage-free eggs, farm raised chickens or responsibly sourced seafood.
Support an Animal Charity
Another great way to celebrate is by donating to an animal protection charity that works to promote the welfare of animals, including those on farms. Take a look at some of these non-profit organizations that are dedicated to animals, and perhaps look into making a financial gift or even volunteering throughout the year:
Farm Sanctuary. This charity offers many ways for folks to get involved, including becoming members of the Friends of Hilda Club, named after the first rescue animal to benefit from Farm Sanctuary.
Faunalytics. Don’t let saying the name be intimidating, because this organization works to collect and share data, research and knowledge that is vital in understanding how to better care for farm animals and limit industrial animal farming.
Human Farming Association. This campaign against factory farming aims to stand up to big business, speaking on behalf of the animals who cannot speak for themselves.

we NEED to keep talking about Palestine. we NEED to keep talking about the death and famine in Gaza. we NEED to keep talking about the war crimes the IOF is committing and shamelessly flaunting online right in front of us. Why aren't there any tags regarding this on the trending tags page anymore?
I am so ashamed we can all sit comfortably in our homes and enjoy our fandoms while nearly almost 30,000 Palestinians, 29,692 human lives, have been mercilessly slaughtered and starved out, and thats only since October 7th to this day. The injured count lies almost around 69,879.
In the past 24 hours, at least 86 people were killed, and around 131 others are left injured.
These are not just numbers. They are REAL people who just had their whole lives violently torn apart in just a day. Entire family lines massacred and wiped out in just a day.
UNRWA says the last time it was able to deliver food to northern Gaza was January 23rd.
January 23rd.
That is well over a month by now, and people are starving. People are using donkey fodder to keep themselves going. They have so much hope and determination, but the world is still failing them.
Keep the discussion open. Keep reblogging and tagging updates on Palestine. Keep doing your daily clicks, and donate somewhere if you financially can. Keep striking. Keep sharing the atrocities committed by the I"D"F and its supporters (our own complicit countries) so the innocent people of Palestine aren't swept under the rug like the rubble that burries their martyred mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, and children. I am painfully reminded of my own people lying in unmarked graves somewhere forgotten and hidden away, the horrors of residential schools shared to me by my poor grandmother and Canada's continued silence. And that pales in comparison to the mangled bodies piling up in Gaza before our very eyes.
This is genocide.
This is not a trend, this is real life. They are still dying, starving, mourning, and petrified. Never forget the genocide the IOF is carrying out for the whole world to see. Never stop talking about it long after Palestine is free.
From the river to the sea, Palestine WILL be free. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Today in the UK it's 'poppy day' or memorial day when we remember the millions of soldiers who died in the 1914-18 war, now known as the first World war. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of November everything comes to a standstill for a one minute silnece.
I took part in a service and spoke on behalf of the conscripted animals...
They were with the British Expeditionary Forces from the very start.
They were with the British Expeditionary Forces at the very end.
They served at the Front, in the rear and in the support lines.
They stumbled through the hell of no-man's land, closely following every British and Commonwealth push.
In the mud, rain and terror of the trenches they supplied their comrades with food, water and ammunition, even though they themselves were starved, soaked and exhausted.
In each year of the war they died in their hundreds of thousands.
They were the war horses.
The light draught horse and mule played a role that is often overlooked by commentators and historians of the Western Front, but without them the ability of the British Army to cross Europe would have been almost impossible.
Taken from the fields, cities, factories and coal-pits of Britain and from the rolling plains of America and Canada, the light draught horse was press-ganged and shipped off to a terrible world just as unfamiliar to them as it was for their conscripted human counterparts.
The light draught horse and mule, however, went on to prove their worth time and time again, indeed, their numbers with the British Expeditionary Forces in France alone rose from 25,000 to over 475,000 by the autumn of 1918. On all fronts a staggering one million plus horses and mules were listed in service with British and Commonwealth forces by the close of war.
On the Western Front over 256,000 horses and mules had already died.
In December 1918, the victorious British Army marched in parade ground order over the Rhine into Cologne, and fittingly, their horses and mules were there too.
These animals that remained in the British Army's service were the fittest and the best available.
But for all their help and heroism, the 'standard' and 'poor quality' animals were either auctioned off at rock-bottom prices or sold... to French butchers.
Every November 11th, those who care, remember the great sacrifice of the men and women who fell, were maimed or participated in what has become known as the Great War.
90 years after the war ended a monument was finally placed in london's Park lane to honour all of the animals who took part and lost their lives, hundreds of thousands of pigeons and dogs too and of course the eight million horses and countless mules and donkeys, we remember them. x

The cons are trying to get us to be more like the US. Fuck that.
On August 22, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and Education Minister Dustin Duncan announced new policies for schools that specifically target 2SLGBTQIA+ students. In the press release, Saskatchewan schools are now required to “seek parent/guardian permission when changing the preferred name and pronouns used by students under the age of 16 in the school.”
Duncan’s announcement was packaged with two other policies. The first requires parents to be informed about the sexual health curriculum “and have the option to decline their children’s participation.” The other requires boards of education to sever ties with third-party organizations “connected to sexual health education.”
A new low The Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) condemned the move to require permission from parents to change names or pronouns in a press release, stating they will take legal action to protect student rights in the province. [...]

FrUK FACE family Parent Trap AU, part 2! (Part 1)
So, last time we left off with Alfred and Matthew meeting at summer camp and developing an instant, burning dislike. Which is unusual for both of them, tbh. Alfred is normally too happy-go-lucky to hate anyone for long, and Mattie is too gentle and sweet natured. But something about the other boy just grinds on both their tempers. It’s visceral, they can’t explain it, but it’s instant and cuts deep. Particularly when someone points out how similar they look, which happened often until both made it clear how much they hated the comparison
At first, they get put in different cabins so their interactions are limited to meals and camp activities. The general rule I’m going with is that old world nations = adults, new world = kids. So Alfred is rooming with *Insert Human Name Here* Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina. Meanwhile Canada gets Cuba, Australia, and New Zealand. Many an evening is spent gossiping/bitching about the other twin, especially on Alfred’s end. Eventually, his cabin mates get so sick of listening to “Why Matthew Bonnefoy sucks” that they dare him to put his money where his mouth is and do something about it. Alfred Kirkland never turns down a challenge
He watches his prey and plots, like some totally badass secret agent type guy. Alfred notices Matthew always chooses pancakes for breakfast and drowns them in maple syrup (Ha! Loser! Everyone knows chocolate is where it’s at!). Alfred gets a wonderful idea. He gets a wonderful, awful idea. His dad sent him to camp with a box of homemade snacks/crimes against humanity. Including a bottle of dipping sauce: just as inedible as anything else. Alfred planned to bury them somewhere before going home but now he has a better idea. The next morning, he makes sure to spike the canuck nerd’s syrup and then sits back and watches the hilarity. Even better, he switches the bottles back when the camp counsellor comes to check after Matthew runs to the bathroom to throw up! LOOOL! Alfred, ten billion: Nerd, zero!
As far as Alfred is concerned, their rivalry is over: he’s won. He never expects Matthew to retaliate and, normally, he’d be right. Normally, gentle, non-confrontational Matthew would just shrug it off and go live his best life. This situation isn’t normal. Mattie can’t let it go, not when it’s Alfred Kirkland. He has to get him back, he just has to. Matthew takes his turn plotting, then he and his cabin mates choose their moment: Alfred is always boasting about how great he is at sports, especially baseball. Their camp is scheduled to play a game with the camp across the lake and Alfred is their star hitter. Matthew and co. lie in wait, then switch out the schedules so Alfred and his cabin get the wrong day. They miss the game and spend the afternoon goofing off by the river instead. Only to come back to furious camp counsellors and a week of trash duty for going off alone and ditching the game. Alfred is horrified, Mattie is smug
Their eyes meet. Matthew winks and mimes a swing and a miss, Alfred seethes. If it was on before, oh boy. Now it’s on. It’s on like Donkey Kong. It’s on like SUPER DONKEY KONG 64!
So begins an all out prank war: Alfred waits till it’s time for swimming lessons, then hides Matthew’s clothes. Matthew sneaks into the camp office and switches Alfred’s name from team sports to needlework and cheerleading. Alfred dips Matthew’s glasses in cooking oil. Matthew sews up the armholes of all Alfred’s shirts. Alfred catches a skunk and releases it in Mattie’s cabin. Matthew takes a leaf out of Alfred’s book and spikes his dinner hamburger and milkshake with enough chilli powder to call Alfred’s own personal space coyote. It goes on like that for a while, back and forth, then evolves into daring each other to do increasingly crazy things. Running through the camp naked, cussing out a counsellor, starting a food fight, go out to the creepiest place in the woods after dark, etc. They just keep going. Alfred never gives up, Matthew won’t either. Even their cabin mates are getting worried by this point. It was fun at first, but now the adults are getting really pissed and the dares keep escalating and are some of them are getting legitimately scary.
Everything comes to a head when Alfred dares Matthew to climb the tallest tree in the camp and hang his (maple print) boxers from the highest branch. Mattie is terrified (the tree is a pine and tall af) but looking a Alfred’s smug face (“Haha! You gonna wimp out, Mattie? Gonna go cry to your pa?”) he can’t bear to back out. It doesn’t go well. Mattie gets halfway up, looks down, and gets the vertigo bad. He freezes up, can’t climb higher or come back down, and is stuck there like a terrified koala. Alfred laughs and jeers at first, then realises oh fudge, this is actually serious. He climbs up to try and help, only to get stuck too. Alfred sees Matthew’s tears and feels a stab of guilt, but then the grown ups turn up with a ladder and they’re both in far too much trouble to think about each other for a while
Both boys are in disgrace, grounded for weeks, and - worst of all - sentenced to be cabin mates. Everyone was sick of their rivalry by then, and it was seen as a necessity. It was either that or the counsellors would email their dads to come get them. Neither Alfred or Matthew wanted that, so they grudgingly agree to the punishment. Either they learn to get along, or camp is over. There’s still the threat of telling their dads if they don’t behave too, which is a total bummer
Alfred moves in with Matthew and they spend their first evening in tense silence. Alfred thinks it will be like this for the rest of summer, which is majorly lame. It might have been, but that night Alfred wakes up to go to the bathroom and hears something that makes him freeze: soft sobs, coming from Matthew’s bunk. He’s got the blankets pulled over his head, but Alfred’s ears are sharp. And he can see the lump in the bed shaking in the dark. Alfred ponders, then goes over and pulls the covers away. Matthew is shocked and dismayed, expecting Alfred to laugh and mock him mercilessly. Instead, Alfred asks him what’s wrong. Gruffly but with no hint of malice
Mattie hesitates - he doesn’t want to give his rival more ammunition - then falteringly tells Alfred he’s scared. Alfred asks if it’s about the tree. Matthew says no, though that was scary, it’s about his papa. Alarm bells ring for Alfred (oh shit, what if the nerd has an abusive dad and that’s why he’s such a dumb wuss?) but Matthew assures him he’s not scared of his dad. He loves Francis more than anything. He’s scared he’s going to disappoint him. Alfred asks why. Mattie tells him that he promised he would do his best to socialise and make some friends. He knows how worried Francis is that he spends so much time either alone or with their dog, so he swore he would do his best to get along with the other campers. But all he’s done is blow everything. Papa will be disappointed in him and, much worse, he broke his word. He could have turned the other cheek and ignored Alfred, but his pride got the best of him and he didn’t
More tears. Alfred watches in silence, and thinks it over for a long moment. Then he pats Mattie on the back and tells him to quit blubbing and being dumb: he hasn’t failed, he made friends with his dumb, nerd cabin mates. And all the pranks and dares have to count as socialising, right? Anyway, if his papa asks, Matthew can just say Alfred is his friend or whatever. So, no need to worry!
After this speech, Matthew is shocked and then stares at Alfred in wonder when he realises he’s serious. Mattie falteringly asks if that’s really okay and Alfred says sure, why not. Then he shoves some ancient, crumpled kleenex at Matthew and decides that, as he’s totally awake now, he might as well have fun. Matthew watches Alfred open in a secret compartment in his luggage and dig out comics and candy bars the adults failed to confiscate. Alfred is about to go back into his bunk when he sees Matthew watching, round eyed. He hesitates, then makes an unknowingly life-changing decision for the second time that night. Instead of getting back into his own bunk, he jumps onto Mattie’s and sits cross legged. Then he offers him a comic and one of his smaller candy bars
A moment, then Matthew accepts. The boys eat chocolate and read comics until the early hours when they both fall asleep. The next day when they’re getting dressed, Matthew dares compliment Alfred on his Iron-Man t-shirt. Alfred grins and shows Matthew the totally sick Avengers, light up sneakers his dad bought him for his birthday. They’re the same shoe size and he says Mattie can even borrow them sometime if he’s careful and doesn’t walk in mud. Mattie thanks him, and smiles. Alfred returns it
There’s a long way to go. They’re still unsure around each other: not best friends, or even ordinary ones, yet. But it’s a start
It’s a start
(Stay tuned for part 3! (´ε` )♡)

Thinking about ghouls as farmers/farmhands
I imagine that some types of kagune would be excellent for harvesting/ploughing with a nice bonus of no carbon emissions. I imagine ghouls, after criminalisation, would possibly even revolutionise farming/carbon footprint from farming?
(Although of course ideally a farm wouldnt till but even then for harvesting ghouls would be quite efficient.)
GHOULS IN FARMING AND FOOD PRODUCTION IS SO INTERESTING
Ghouls have always been a part of society, and regardless of where they are or how accepted they are, they’ve always had some hand in farming since, especially before industrialization, it was a good field for them. Their strength, senses, and kagune make them fantastic at cultivating, protecting, and harvesting food
In old world cultures where ghouls were always ostracized, they couldn’t be open about why their crops grew so well, so they tended to make up myths and stories about some ritual or another that makes their harvests so bountiful. They had senses of smell and pressure detection that could help them sniff out blights and pests, as well as semi-accurately predict rainfall, letting them handle issues before they got too bad. That, and their strength that lets them handle the physical task of planting and harvesting, helped them produce a lot of plants. But telling humans how they did it is off the table, so it was common for them to have a plowing Ox just for show and to say they said some prayer that helped
A lot of why ghouls thrived in farming is due to their regeneration. It may not be talked about much anymore, but it is DANGEROUS. Not just the modern machinery, but the strain of lifting and carrying. The illnesses carried by plants and animals. The workhorses and oxen that can just fucking kick you to death. The PIGS. It’s all risky work, and back before antibiotics, just one cut and you’re done for. A person who can not only survive almost any cut, but take a donkey kick to the face and get right back up to finish plowing the field is one of the most valuable people any farming village can have
Farming animals is more hit or Miss, because a lot of prey animals panic when they smell ghoul. Some ghouls still kept them and after enough time, or enough animals born around the smell of them, they could get used to it. Historically ghouls have run a lot of butcher shops because it was one of the best places to hide human meat before dna testing became widely available, so some animal husbandry skill was a good thing
Ghouls tended to make good shepherds. In especially rural areas, a lot of humans would collectively decide not to talk about the fact that someone is obviously a monster because they’re simply so fast and strong and don’t let sheep and cattle go missing or get hunted. If you were in Cold Ass Nowhere Ireland in 1635 and you had a shepherd who not only never loses a sheep but also eats the English, you’d pretend you didn’t notice either
In areas and cultures where ghouls were more accepted, they were essential to hunting and farming. North and central american ghouls had traits designed for taking down megafauna to supplement their diets, and their human companions could depend on them to bring countless Buffalo and deer home. Jungle subspecies had traits built for climbing, and were central to the harvest of high growing fruits and beans. A now likely extinct species native to Canada had semi aquatic adaptations and a thick layer of fat who were designed to hunt seals and small whales, and shaped the way any community lucky enough to have some survived. In places where ghouls were welcomed, they were so efficient at harvesting and hunting that land rarely needed to be developed for monocultures at all
When ghouls are decriminalized in more parts of the world, their physical abilities are allowed to shine again. Stories of ghoul farmers through history arise. Plenty of American and Polynesian communities (who had been telling people about ghoul’s contributions to their land and cultures for years and were having that brushed off as myth) can legally reintroduce the old practices of ghoul hunting and harvesting techniques. Smaller farms hire more ghouls once it’s clear that they can do machine level work without the expense of maintaining machines, and it’s one of the biggest ghoul hiring fields at the start of their legalization
Naturally, ghoul farming unions are quick to form. They can do machine level work, but are not going to risk being treated like machines for it. As with any Union there’s some backlash, but when it becomes apparent just how much better ghouls are at crop maintenance and harvesting, demands are met. It’s become a well paying profession, and has been good work for ghouls that struggle with the human grade education they were denied when they were younger, or ghouls who simply prefer to work outside doing something that benefits people

National Wildlife Day 
Visit a zoo or wildlife reserve, donate your time and money, spread awareness, and help save the numerous species of wildlife currently threatened or endangered.
Every year we lose numerous species to the growth and expansion of human holdings, but through the effort of zoos, sanctuaries, and preservation organizations that rate is being slowed. These groups do amazing work, educating and bringing awareness to people everywhere, all while preserving these precious treasures from Mother Nature. National Wildlife Day reminds us that there are creatures out there that cannot speak for themselves, so we have to stand up and be a voice for them. The animals will thank you for it, as will the generations to come who will still be able to enjoy them!
History of National Wildlife Day
In September of 2006, the world suffered a terrible loss. Steve Irwin, known colloquially as “The Crocodile Hunter”, died in an encounter with a sting ray that went horribly awry.
These normally docile and peaceful creatures pack a powerful punch in their tail, and instead of swimming away as Steve expected, it instead attacked him with its stinger. After hundreds of strikes, Steve believed he had sustained only a punctured lung, but the stinger had actually managed to pierce his heart causing him to bleed out. So passed an amazing man from the world.
What does this have to do with National Wildlife Day? Steve Irwin was an expert on animals, and spent much of his career working to bring attention to endangered species and aid conservation.
In his honor National Wildlife Day reminds us that the animals of the world are a precious resource, and of the many zoos, sanctuaries, conservatories, and organizations that work together every year to help preserve them for future generations.
If we don’t start taking care of them now, we’re going to lose them. Once an animal has gone extinct, they’re lost forever to future generations, it’s our responsibility not to let that happen.
How to celebrate National Wildlife Day
Thankfully there are plenty of options to help support endangered animals, and National Wildlife Day is a great opportunity to get out and do it! Almost every community has animal sanctuaries and zoos nearby, so take a trip with you, your family, and friends out to enjoy their exhibits.
While you’re there see what you can do to donate time and/or money, or even just spread the word about drives they’re doing. You can even contact them ahead of time and work to help them organize an event, you can even go to the local library to hand out flyers to spread awareness!
