We are one billion screams—
from the kill floors, the cages, the labs.
A theory of insurgent animal politics.

How did you become so divorced from your humanity, so captured by a vile ideology that you became numb to our suffering? How can you feel anything but deep revulsion at our violent abuse, inflicted by those who would profit from cruelty?

We nonhuman animals have heard that you claim superiority & dominance because you have a highly developed capacity for critical thinking, empathy & moral reasoning. We’re just wondering when you might start using these faculties?

You shudder at movies like Saw.
For us, it's a million times worse.
Your entire world is our Jigsaw.
Leave us alone.

Fine dining for you.
Death row for us.
Behind every window our faces and suffering are unseen.
Behind every window our screams are unheard.

This is just a glimpse of our hell. You know it exists. So it's not just about education, but about us naming our oppression and our resistance so it becomes impossible to sideline.

“Farmers love their animals”
Do you honestly believe that if those who profit from my exploitation ostentatiously extend a degree of kindness to me, then that excuses subsequently betraying & killing me at a fraction of my potential age?

We talk about compassion, but turn a blind eye to the suffering we inflict on animals when they feel pain, suffering, and joy. They don't deserve what humanity inflicts on them. #GoVegan
Stop supporting animal cruelty!

Savagely we were beaten to the kill floor.
And now we lie, twitching on the ground,
Gasping, our life ebbing away.
Hear us, and make this carnage cease.
From here to the dinner plate.
We are #OneBillionScreams
We are @PolAnimalClass
A vast plain lies before us
Full of others of our kind.
A piercing trilling, a swarm of sounds.
This is our purgatory. But why did you place us here?
We hatched two hours ago,
Into this hallucination.

We scream from places of immeasurable suffering. From the factory farms you’d rather not consider. From the vivisection torture labs you falsely label as “necessary evil”. From the blood drenched slaughterhouses you pretend are “humane”
We are #OneBillionScreams@PolAnimalClass
If our way of living involves institutionalised barbarism then we adhere to, endorse & perpetuate a violent, indefensible ideology. In doing so we lose the claim to be for peace, freedom or justice. We’re violent, unjust, slave keepers.
We are #OneBillionScreams@PolAnimalClass
To use our intellectual abilities to avoid considering the violence we cause, to invent feeble rationalisations for the deaths we demand, to use such deceptions to continue doing what we instinctively know to be wrong, is at best thoroughly reprehensible.
#OneBillionScreams
It doesn’t take a genius to imagine the terror, pain & abject suffering we endure, but callously, you either refuse to do so, or you invent blatantly false narratives of idyllic lives in pastures & fairytales of a swift painless death.
We are #OneBillionScreams@PolAnimalClass
You erect monuments to human victims of mass killing.
You speak in solemn tones.
But we, who also feel, are nothing to you.
You go to bars, clubs, raves
And dance to pulsing music over our remains.
We are #OneBillionScreams
We are @PolAnimalClass
We are enslaved by you in the tens of billions.
You place us in an alien universe,
Full of steel, insanity, and misery.
You only encounter us after death,
In your own alien universe.
Face us before our remains are sold.
We are #OneBillionScreams

Imagine the mental fuckery required to justify the barbarity inflicted upon hundreds of billions of us fellow animals. But that’s it eh? You don’t even consider us. You just habitually, unthinkingly consume the products of our violent abuse & slaughter

1/2
If you think any ‘approved’ methods of murdering me for your nonessential ends are in any way justifiable or ‘humane’, then you’re lying to yourself or just dangerously & mercilessly devoid of both empathy & moral reasoning skills
We are #OneBillionScreams@PolAnimalClass
2/2
The relative speed of my murder, the method of my murder, or the relative level of suffering I incur when being murdered does not in any way justify murdering me. Such blatant, feeble lies only serve to soothe your conscience
We are #OneBillionScreams

Some of us end up in sanctuaries.
There, we live our lives in peace.
We learn not all of you beat us with sticks.
But, this is just the start.
We demand freedom for others like us.
