been playing cybersleuth and hacker's memory, and really wanted to draw some of my favourite rookies! I was inspired by the style hawberries used for their pokemon icons like these ones :3 had a couple of false starts but i'm happy with these ones
Unironically, vegans need to be advocating for more and better sheep, llama, and alpaca farms. Wool is one of the best fabrics we have in terms of versatility, longevity and most importantly, insulation. Even wet, it retains 80% of it’s insulation potential.
AND IT DOESN’T SHED MICROPLASTICS
Like, there’s literally nothing you can do to a sheep that’s as morally reprehensible as dumping plastic down the gullet of literally every other living thing. You wanna talk about animal welfare? Talk about reducing the amount of microplastics produced by rayon, polyester, and spandex.
Bruh plant-based sources of clothing exist and are better for the environment and don’t involve slicing an animal’s throat open please shut the fuck up you cunt
THE WOOL GROWS BACK
Do they think you kill a sheep for it’s wool
A LOT OF THEM DO THINK THIS. They get told this carp by PETA and the like.
People- wool animals are not killed for their wool/hair. Yaks, angora rabbits, angora goats, sheep, alpacas, llamas etc… We SHEAR THEM. Not Flay. Shear. With clippers.
Or some people just gather what falls off the critter, or in the case of “chien” which is dog fluff, you brush that off them.
Healthy happy animals make good fiber. It is monetarily foolish and useless to abuse your animals because then their fiber is bad. You can debate points of husbandry and some parts of industries need change so fight about that.
But wool is amazing.
Bro, you ok? Bro, humans aren’t separate from the ecosystems around us. We’re a part of them, bro. Bro, we’re never going to have absolutely zero effect on ecosystems, because we live here, bro. Bro, I never said it had to be a bad effect. We don’t have to immediately be perfect either, bro, sometimes doing what you can is what you can, and its way better than nothing. Bro what do you mean humans are a plague. You’re starting to sound a bit like an ecofascist, bro… Bro?
Bro, what happened? Every item in your home doesn't need to be 100% zero waste and have had no negative impact on anything ever. Yeah, bro, if you ran out of your fair trade vegan, cruelty free, plastic free packaging, pesticide free toothpaste pellets, you're allowed to buy regular toothpaste until you can get the other kind. Don't worry, man, it's okay that you can't get certain necessities without plastic. Bro, you are not your own personal plague on the earth.
Don't stress. You can't walk and leave absolutely no trace. Even if you dont leave or take anything, your feet will leave prints in the dirt and tracks in the snow. And that's ok. Its reduse, reuse, recycle. Eliminate is too big of a task to take on by yourself every day.
