It's safe to say with Mulan's lead actress, Liu Yi

It's safe to say with Mulan's lead actress, Liu Yifei supporting the Hong Kong police and their brutal treatment towards protesters as well as Disney thanking the Publicity Department of CPC Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region Committee for allowing them to film parts of the film there, (though Xinjiang is where the population of Uyghur Muslims are reportedly being held in detention camps where they force slave labour, the sterilisation of Uyghur women and indoctrination) that #mulan (and Disney) has brought nothing but dishonour to us all.

In order to domesticate elephants so they will interact with tourists, e.g. give them rides on their backs + or perform for them in shows, they go through a training process called 'The Crush'; the young elephants are forcibly removed from their mothers, bound with chains + rope, + are kept in confining, wooden enclosures so they will become submissive.

Footage, courtesy of @world_animal_protection , is circulating + we must warn is very distressing to watch. (There's a video on their website).

For tourists, we see trips on elephants' backs or the tricks they do as entertainment, not knowing the torture + abuse that these beautiful animals have had to endure and continue to endure, just so we can ride them or watch them perform.

It's a sharp echo of the life of Tilikum, otherwise known as Shamu, at SeaWorld Orlando. When the SeaWorld heads realised the amount of money they were making from the original 'Shamu' in 1965, they began adding more parks with more Shamus. But it wasn't until Tilikum killed his instructor in 2010 that the world's eyes were fully opened + ready to listen to the horrific journey of how the Orca whales had became spectacles for us to marvel at.

As soon as tourists learned, SeaWorld's numbers plummeted, stock prices fell + so on, to the point that the park decided to focus on a 'Shamu-free future.' (Obviously, this was to save their reputation).

It's the demand of elephant tourism that's making people kidnap and separate the animals from their families before torturing them for profit, same as the demand to watch Shamu was what made people continue to do snatch Orca whales from different places + keep them in captivity.

Before the tourism industry opens up again, we need to find ways of making sure that elephants + other animals are not subjected to this kind of cruelty ever again. Head over to: https://www.worldanimalprotection.org/take-action/amer-fort - there are plenty of petitions to sign and ways in which you can be kept and informed.

Darren Rainey was a 50-year-old man who was a few months into a two-year sentence for cocaine possession. He was boiled alive at the hands of Florida Prison Guards in 2012 - he was put in a shower room where they had set the water to a scalding temperature and left him there for two hours. According to inmates, he screamed for the officers to let him out. When they came back, Rainey was dead and his reddened skin had begun peeling off and floating beside his body.
Why was he put in the shower in the first place? He had defecated in his cell and smeared his faeces on himself and on the walls - he suffered from schizophrenia. The officers told him to clean himself off which he refused and they decided that this was a good enough reason to torture him.
None of the alleged four officers who subjected him to this have been charged. In fact, one of the alleged officers, Roland Clarke, went on to be a cop but was allegedly fired for questionable conduct.
There's a pattern here, and it all points to police officers; there's a blatant air of arrogance and a God complex that some of them seem to have, and it makes us wonder how police officers are being trained...or is it that some of these people who become police officers already have that arrogant, God complex within them and it soars when they become, to an extent, the law?

This case also shows how police officers are blatantly lacking in training in how to work with inmates who have mental health issues.

Please sign and share the below petition so we can get justice for him. He didn't deserve to die this way, and the officers who murdered him do NOT deserve to walk the streets of the US freely, where, God forbid, they have opportunities to do something horrific to someone else.

With #fastfashion brands like Boohoo being exposed

With #fastfashion brands like Boohoo being exposed for their inhumane treatment of their factory workers, it's imperative that we make sure we're spending our hard-earned money on #ethicalfashion brands that are playing their part to stop modern slave labour. Feel free to check out the link in our bio where we discuss #slowfashion in more detail, and offer a few brands that go over and beyond to make sure the factory workers that create their clothes are well compensated, as they rightly deserve.

Allegations that some of @boohoo 's factories in

Allegations that some of
@boohoo 's factories in Leicester have inhumanely treated their workers are circling - a Sunday Times report claimed that they are paying their workers below minimum wage; a measly £3.50 per hour and not providing them with protection from #covid19 .

We are in the middle of a pandemic and Leicester has been put in a localised lockdown after there was a spike, meaning no-one should be at work, yet, allegedly, that Boohoo factory was still running. Why? Because of money.

This is why fast fashion needs to go. Fast fashion brands are churning out new products every week at the physical, mental, emotional and financial detriment of its workers and putting their lives at risk, just so they can make a profit.

We urge you to support ethical fashion brands such as: @mayamikodesigned @boden_clothing @peopletreeuk @thoughtclothing @ethicalroots and @kowtowclothing as a few examples - brands that have created safe working environments for their workers and ensure FAIR PAY, no child labour, no slave labour and that their products are crafted from fair-trade materials.

We are the ones with the power; fast-fashion brands are after our money, ethics be damned, so what better way to make sure they pay attention and do better to their employees than to take away what it is they want?

Shukri Abdi was a precious 12-year-old Black Musli

Shukri Abdi was a precious 12-year-old Black Muslim Somali girl who came to the UK with her family to grow and live peacefully. She was born in a refugee camp in Kenya because her family had fled Somalia due to the conflict.
She was tormented at school and was found dead in a river.
It's taken global protests, worldwide petitions, public outcry (only after the case resurfacing because of the Black Lives Matter movement) and almost 6000 emails to the Greater Manchester Mayor to ask for a wider investigation of the events leading up to her death. We can assure you, with the utmost confidence, it wouldn't have taken all of this, if Shukri wasn't Black and a refugee.
Read the article in our bio to see why we HAVE to cry for #justiceforshukriabdi - if we neglect children, one of the purest forms of life on Mother Earth, because they don't tick our physical, religious or ethnic requirements, then we're in a lot more trouble than we thought.

We have no idea how long this pandemic will last or the length of time it will take to heal from the ramifications of it, and neither do factory workers globally.

They have been left to fend for themselves after losing their jobs during Covid-19, after retailers/brands backed out of paying them, broke contracts or put a stop payment on orders the workers had already made as requested.

Check out our link in the bio to see why we should be buying from ethical brands such as @thoughtclothing , @ethicalroots , and @peopletreeuk !
