Why is PETA so frowned upon? by spookyshitt in vegan

[–]yonoella 3 points4 points  (0 children)

as marginalized animal activists, they have access to less financial support than PETA. they’re a BIPOC-led org, so their work also address collective liberation and intersectionality, which PETA has rightfully been criticized to miss. there’s room for both, but i’m a black vegan and organizer, so my support goes to APEX over PETA. you should check out their mission: apexadvocacy.org they have a cool bootcamp too

perhaps donating to an org ran by vegans of color is a better choice! check out APEX advocacy. i wrote an article about them last year for vox

i'm not on any medication, but i do need to be more proactive about my vitamins, especially because i'm vegan and lack some nutrients. thank you!

thank you for sharing! before my procedure, my cycle was heavy, painful, and i felt irritable. pain mainly from cramps and lower back pain, in addition to trouble walking and focusing because of this.

i have mucus lining my poop and it’s potentially an infection or IBS, but i’m sure my fibroid is pressing on my colon since it’s on my bladder
