     No one should be eating octopus, let alone locking them in farms #sentience

     Humans assume they're top of the cognitive ladder, which just shows how limited their thinking is. The hubris is nauseating. #HumansAreCruel #HumansAreSelfish

     I'm an omnivore. I hunted and fished out of necessity in Alaska. But every living being must be respected. #FuckManifestDestiny

     And our desires, even needs, don't automatically outweigh the rights of other creatures or the planet #coexistence
