A new report via @Sentient_Media and @faunalytics found that just 7% of climate media coverage mentions animal agriculture — making it one of the least-discussed causes of climate change in the media. Let's take a closer look 👇 1/10 faunalytics.org/animal-ag-in…

Animal Agriculture Is The Missing Piece In Climate Change Media Coverage - Faunalytics

A research collaboration between Faunalytics and Sentient Media finds that very little media coverage of climate change focuses on animal agriculture, a major cause of the phenomenon.

People don’t see industrial meat as a key cause of global warming, according to a global poll. Our media analysis shows that only 0.5% of the EN media coverage on climate mentions meat/livestock. @GreenQueenHK @MikeGrunwald #MakingTheClimateConnection madrebrava.org/insight/peopl…

Madre Brava – People don’t see industrial meat as a key cause of global warming – poll

Despite industrial meat production polluting more than all cars together. Livestock emissions represent 14.5% of the climate problem but only 0.5% of the media coverage on climate – media analysis.

Advocates of plant-based diets are often accused of being "anti-indigenous." But how do Indigenous peoples view global food systems? Edited by @JessLReid, our Indigenous Voices series tackles land and water sovereignty, veganism, colonialism & more.👇 1/9 sentientmedia.org/indigenous…

A recent ad featuring Aubrey Plaza portrayed consumers of plant-based milks as gullible, out-of-touch elites. Funded by @gonnaneedmilk, the ad is part of a long tradition of the dairy industry promoting milk in the face of public distrust and falling demand.👇 1/16

"Veganism offers an opportunity to disrupt colonial logic by challenging the most basic building blocks of colonialism, which reduce all life forms to mere objects for capitalist exploitation," Samah Seger writes as part of our Indigenous Voices series: sentientmedia.org/veganism-i…

Veganism Is Not Anti-Indigenous

Advocates for humans, animals and our ecosystems are natural allies in the fight against oppressive colonial structures.

The meat industry targets vulnerable groups because it is chronically understaffed. Most meat workers working in slaughterhouses are Black Brown Indigenous People of Color and immigrants. The sector also benefits from cheap prison labor. xitter.cf/Sentient_Media/status/…

This week, @SarahHuckabee supported a law that ends one of Arkansas' only oversight mechanisms for child labor. Here's why labor laws are crucial to protect vulnerable groups from being targeted by a sector, which is chronically understaffed: the meat industry.👇 1/10

Beef is one of the most destructive foods that humans consume. For every pound of hamburger meat you consume, 60 pounds of greenhouse gasses are emitted into the atmosphere: sentientmedia.org/beef-consu…

Is Beef Consumption in the U.S. Headed in the Right Direction?

Americans still eat more beef than anyone else in the world.
