Maternity does not understand about species, 13th of May 2012 (Mother’s Day)
For two hours, three EligeVeganismo’s activists remained caged, simulating the situation of millions of mothers of different species while giving birth. The activity was made at Mother’s Day, and it allowed us to inform the community about the maternity conditions of those who have been unlucky enough to not be born human.

EligeVeganismo, because animals are not our slaves.
Hemos realizado nuestro quinto rescate abierto. En estos momentos los ocho pavos liberados de una granja intensiva durante la madrugada de hoy, dan sus primeros pasos en libertad. ¡Comparte esta linda noticia!. Durante el día publicaremos comunicado y fotografías de la acción.
This is an oldie but goldie.
“Eight activists of EligeVeganismo chained themselves the afternoon of the 22th of january 2011, to the cages of different species at the Metropolitan Zoo (Zoológico Metropolitano).
Amid shouts of slogans referring to animal exploitation and handing out flyers, the activists were taken by police and Special Forces who had to cut one by one the chains.”

I may be about 2000 years late, but I’m kind of in love with Plutarch.
“Can you really ask what reason Pythagoras had for abstaining from flesh?
For my part I rather wonder both by what accident and in what state of soul or mind the first man did so, touched his mouth to gore and brought his lips to the flesh of a dead creature, he who set forth tables of dead, stale bodies and ventured to call food and nourishment the parts that had a little before bellowed and cried, moved and lived. How could his eyes endure the slaughter when throats were slit and hides flayed and limbs torn from limb? How could his nose endure the stench? How was it that the pollution did not turn away his taste, which made contact with the sores of others and sucked juices and serums from mortal wounds?… It is certainly not lions and wolves that we eat out of self-defense; on the contrary, we ignore these and slaughter harmless, tame creatures without stings or teeth to harm us, creatures that, I swear, Nature appears to have produced for the sake of their beautyand grace. But nothing abashed us, not the flower-like tinting of the flesh, not the persuasiveness of the harmonious voice, not the cleanliness of their habits or the unusual intelligence that may be found in the poor wretches.
No, for the sake of a little flesh we deprive them of sun, of light, of the duration of life to which they are entitled by birth and being.”
- Plutarch, 46-120 AD
Do Plutarch a favor and check out Mercy For Animals.
No but really, do the animals a favor and check them out. They’re a wonderful organization.
But, at least the cows picture is from EligeVeganismo. Do animals a favor, and check us out!

“The mothers of mane species enjoy their children: from birth until they grow, teaching them, caressing them and every way they can show their affection. They try to end their mother work giving them all the tools needed for their independence, when their offspring endure the world on their own.
These are generations of slave mothers and children. Human use voids their most basic interests, reducing them to consumer goods, unable to obtain their happiness, and fulfil their needs.
Every animal in this world has hir own interests. The ability to suffer and enjoy make them our equals, and to understand this, all you need is a personal reflexion about our relationship with the rest of the sentient beings of the world, removing the prejudices that have grown with each and every one of them.”
Non human animals are not ours to use. They exist for their own reasons, and are in no way means to our ends, just as any other individual in this world.
These children give me hope that a better world is possible. They are the little activists that will change this place when I’m old and grumpy. I love them all.

I feel alive now. I love “activisting” so fucking much and I missed it so fucking much.
Sorry Uni, you’re not the top priority anymore.
This is my most favorite placard, of all.
“Change your habits and you’ll change their lives”.
The piglet there is Libertad (Freedom), one of the two baby pigs EligeVeganismo rescued. That was around… one year and a half now. She and Espartaco are so big now. And she’s the main reason why I love that so much.
Photos from animal rights organization EligeVeganismo. This was the activity performed in commemoration of the International Animal Rights Day, on 10th December 2011. We were about 80 activists, some came from outside Santiago (Chile’s Capital).
These are all victims of animal exploitation. Their corpses were collected from factory farms, dairy, labs, street, and other such places.

“63 years ago, the whole world, unanimously, condemned the atrocities of World War II, trough a Declaration that pretended that none of those horrors would recur. Until today, millions of animals die on a daily basis; most of them to be made human food, in the most absolute and painful of silences. We get them usually in pieces, as meat, leather, fur, or substances like milk and eggs, others are caged beneath a glass on a pet store, caged on a zoo, or in a circus spectacle.
For this reason, the International Animal Rights Day is more than just a memorial, it’s a call to reflection and the will to leave inertia. If we apply non violence, and look for peace, this act is a call to practice every day respect for animals, those who don’t express on languages we do, and are out of our structures, but share with us the most basic characteristics, the will to live, to determinate their own lives, and the desire to fully live their freedom.” Isabel Collao Lemus, EligeVeganismo’s coordinator.
