If we care about truth & justice then we must account for ALL forms of violence, abuse & killing, rather than conveniently ignoring the forms that we are complicit in & benefit from. Anything less is sanctimonious bullshit.

Between the slaughterhouse and the drive-thru window, we are One Billion Screams that continuously dissolve but expand with still greater force: a perpetual crescendo of anguish and resistance demanding to be heard and seen.

For those at the back:
Violence can NEVER be humane.
Subjecting another to violence for your non essential purposes is categorically unjustifiable.

If we participate in this needless violence, no matter how we excuse it to ourselves, we rescind the right to claim that we oppose violence. Conversely, we are by default, willingly & deliberately mercilessly violent people

You are so accustomed to seeing us in cages that you think they are extensions of us rather than technologies of control that are imposed on us. We do not belong here.

For every image of us in the death factory, you have seen a million advertisements and restaurant signs listing our remains. You live in a world of smiling ephemera that drowns our One Billion Screams.

Unit 731, the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, and Josef Mengele's experiments are all historical examples that leave you aghast. But you think nothing as hundreds of millions of us are burned, electrocuted, and stabbed today.

Stop hurting us

There is no outside to pain. It is blinding, engulfing, devouring. You, spectators who see us through a fogged glass, cannot understand. Our howls come from contact with the serrated edge of blades and the curve of hooks.

We slowly suffocate to death and scream for our lives. And our remains are arrayed on boards as "charcuterie," to be nibbled on daintily while people exchange pleasantries and witticisms at social events.

If you believe that we may be exploited & killed for your needless purposes then you don’t believe we deserve freedom or even to live & hence you regard us with utter contempt.
Now tell me you’re an “animal lover”.

We should refuse to participate in any form of exploitation, violence & killing, not out of guilt, not out of moral duty, not because it is the right thing to do, but simply out of care for another fellow being’s wellbeing.

The planet is crisscrossed by a web of shipping routes, which transport us from one place to another, to be slaughtered. Invisible to you, they are nonetheless your system's arteries of death. We do not belong here.

Our eyes gleam both with fear and with fire. May they burrow into every dark crevice of your hearts and brains from across these miles. We are political animals.

There is a huge epistemic gulf between those who choose to benefit from violence and those unto whom violence is done. The realities of this violence are deliberately hidden from its unthinking beneficiaries. The victims are afforded no such privilege.

Although only met with your inexplicable, stone hearted, remorseless indifference, our cries & acts of resistance unambiguously communicate that we don’t want to be confined, controlled, mutilated, violently exploited & murdered.

We will be heard.

You could choose kindness but you choose malevolence. You could be merciful but you choose to be singularly cruel. You could be decent & humane but you choose to be violent. You choose, I suffer, I endure agony, I have my only life ripped from me.

When rationalising their complicity in cruelty, people hide behind the majority -“everyone does it”. This isn’t a valid justification, it’s pure, unadulterated cowardice. It’s a refusal to reflect upon the ethical implications of your immoral actions.

In what you call Australia, we, the free horses ("brumbies"), have lived for generations. First brought to this strange land by settlers, some of us escaped or were abandoned. We are now being mowed down from helicopters.
