I'm the only vegan I know. The worst harassment I've experienced was a woman telling me I was gay for being vegan. She also poked fun at me occasionally hinting that I wasn't a "Real Man" .The same girl was very liberal and had a gay best friend. Odd. I wasn't very upset. People only reveal themselves when they speak in such a way. My idea of masculinity, or just being a good person, is doing the right thing even if it means you walk alone against the herd.

😢❤

I think this is a pretty simple question. Basically, we DON'T, until they start hating on us because we don't make all the same choices they do. I want to be careful to be clear that no "blanket" statement about "all vegans" is possible - no such statement about ANY group is really possible - but there is a large complement of vegans that are judgmental and abusive in "lifestyle" conversations, coming off as though any of us who eat meat and so on are evil in some sense. When you attack people like that, how do you EXPECT them to react to you? I'm basically a live and let live kind of guy, and ultimately I don't CARE how a person chooses to get their nutrition. But I expect and demand the same tolerance in return, and if I don't get it it can indeed rile me up. That said, I truly hope I'm never guilty of being less than wholly respectful and accepting toward someone merely because "they're vegan" - I really don't want to fall into that "group think" trap.

Hi. I’m wondering if you have a downloadable and shareable version of your video: Why do we still test on animals? So that I can share it on my IG for educational purposes? I would happily tag and credit you. I’m the mom of an animal testing survivor beagle and she has her own IG page. I get asked often but why are we still testing on animals? I found your video to be informative and educational and I’d love to share it! Thanks so much, Jenna

I like bacon, personally

Normally we're not supposed to it's in the bible

Definitely the superiority purity thing thing. For example I’ve seen former vegans saying “I was vegan for x number of years … blah blah…” Then one of the ‘True’ Vegans comes along and retorts “You were NEVER a vegan. It’s a permanent spiritual change. Blah, blah, I’m superior, blah blah” really condescending and no one I’d like to know. However, I get most of you aren’t that bad. 😁

The argument about gradients of cruelty makes me think about puppy mills, dog fighting, or horses left to suffer. Anytime captivity is legal, there is abuse and also extreme cruelty. The pushback by greedy food producers to make these laws impotent only shows how much ending factory farms scares these people. Eating animals is not financially viable anymore without extreme abuse. Also, the horrors we allow ourselves to inflict on animals seems to always inspire evil people to do the same things to human beings, similar to how we test stuff on monkeys. Just my opinion. We cannot allow this cruelty a safe space. We should also eat vegan.

😂

thats not how you kill animal in an halal way they need to stand up or lie down not spin and after that cut the throat when the animal is relaxing that way its an easy death after a 1-3 sec because loss of blood the animal will lose its life you NEED to hit the juglear vines if all of these steps are not done the animal is not permitted to be eaten and i agree with you that there are some people mistreating the animals and i hate them too but islam never said that nor dit it say to chakle them up

I’m a veggie and gave up donating blood, because of low iron .

👏👏👏

I tried being vegan but butter is in everything that tastes good.

we didn’t have this level of cognitive dissonance when we were integrated with our food production. veganism has been growing during a time when we’ve lost ownership and buy-in to producing food, and i don’t get the sense that many vegans have first-hand experience with farming or animal husbandry. the increase in vegan and vegetarianism has grown with this change.

Hilarious 😆

👍❤🎶

I think switching to agriculture was the biggest mistake in human history and the biggest disaster for the planet.If we stayed hunter-gatherers there would b only 1-2 millions of people on the world and no cities,roads,ralways,industries,minners,techology,crops etc.Even if you look at the todays hunter-gatherers-they are one of the happiest people in the world.They just live for food and thaths it.They dont need nothing more.

Kinda like how a lot of people will support women's rights without being feminist now? It would be amazing tho if people could activelt want to go against these injustices 😢 I wonder how it will all turn out.

This is great information, thanks for sharing a different perspective, it aligns with this I read on psychoanalysis.

Who really cares about the meat eating public? I couldn't care less.

Are we going to ignore how deep she had the banana down her throat 😅

Es gracioso como se preocupa por los animales pero no se preocupa por ella misma que se supone es superior en inteligencia y somete a su cuerpo a maltrato porque es un sufrimiento las puntadas de los tatuajes

The "science" why vegan is no sulution is that it has been pushed by those who exploit the world most. The shareholders of nutrifictaion industry, you grant them the steady rising dividend they expect. And some mindless even play and propagate to play broker games in the web. Vegan has become a label and doesn't helps, it makes all worse, what would help is to buy only local products to bypass the speculators in the chain. And it won't matter potatoes or beef, because it would spare us the useless overproduction which is only for good of the speculators and if we eat this or not doesn't even matters they make profit as soon that is offered to the end consumer, you dont' have to buy it. To buy local products would break the power of the nutrifiacation industry, to buy their products grants the speculators even a higer rendite and makes them only more powerful. I'm not the tight minded, i'm one who thinks even more as just twice about a problem. *It's up to you how you nutrify yourself, i only say buy local no matter what*

Gary’s a f*cking psycho who literally said he hopes some women get r*ped. Human garbage.

Amazing video! Thank you. Can i translate it to Russian so more people can see it?

👏👏👏

이웃 부족을 잡아먹는 식인의 관습이 부당하고 잔인하다고 여겨지듯이, 비건은 동물살생을 부당하고 잔인하다고 봅니다. 동물을 먹는 당신이 비건의 마음과 생각을 알려면 동믈의 자리에 동물 대신 사람이 있다고 가정하고 생각해 보세요. 그러면 당신도 비건의 마음을 느낄 겁니다. 당신이 동물과 인간을 분리해서 보았기에 느끼지 못했던 것이니까요. 그렇게 분리해서 보면서도 당신은 생명존중의 식이에 대한 화제를 불편해 합니다. 당신은 동물을 먹는 일이 정당하다고 말하지만, 동물을 먹는 일을 옳다고 생각하기엔 거리끼는 마음이 있기에 그 화제를 불편해 합니다. 당신은 동물을 먹는 일이 동물에게 고통을 주는 일임을 알고 있습니다. 당신은 공감능력이 있어서입니다. 동물을 먹는 누구나 다 그렇게 육식에 대해 이분화된 마음을 가지고 있어요. 동물을 분리해서 보는 인간중심의 세계관은 후천적으로 습득된 것이고 동물의 고통에 공감하는 마음은 본래적인 것이겠지요. 나는 당신에게 말합니다. 당신이 동물을 먹는 일은 옳지 않고 비윤리적이며 폭력이고 죄라고. 가두고 폭력을 행하고 살해하는 것은 죄를 짓는 일입니다. 사람은 무지로 인해 숱한 죄를 지으며 살아갑니다. 동물을 먹는 일은 그 중에서도 아주 큰 죄입니다. 생각해 보세요. 당신의 양심은 알고 있어요.

I don't think we need to be riding horses... but we do need to eat. And even plants have consciousness ... trees communicate through roots mushrooms and smells in forests, plants sense danger and fear. It may be different or less painful than animals, but i don't think eating chicken eggs is morally worse or much different than eating pollen on an edible flower. Infact the plant might feel it more than the chicken if you take the whole flower vs taking a chicken's unfertilized egg. We don't really need to eat meat however a lot of people like myself are not fully educated on what foods they need to eat and where to get them so they can still get enough protein in their diet. We clearly don't need to ride horses though and this video is inspiring me to want to buy a horse and their baby to let them roam free on a big piece of land... i need land and horse money or the fall of capitalism first though but the ideas there

God did not think anything when he didn't create a giraffe or a cow, they evolved, or where bred by humans into what they are today to exploit them. Fact stays that all animals have the capacity to suffer and we do not need to exploit them. So yes, let's pray for a vegan world one day.

Thank you for the video. 🙏

My dog would hate me he won’t even eat a bite of a apple

i see some fault in that logic about meat and fat... and harder and longer... how, why?

Has anybody else here read "The sexual politics of meat" by Carol J. Adams?

The way I would question this is to ask; is all riding of animals "use"? For example, let's say you had a close bond with the elephant and you climbed on top of the elephant. Are you using the elephant if they walk around? I'm not sure I agree with framing any riding of animals as "using". If you stick tack on them and force them where to go than sure. But I feel like riding an animal can be non-exploitative.

Once certain folks find out I'm vegan they ensue with mocking/questioning what I'm eating. It's childish. I would never harass others about what's on their plate, and they only know I'm vegan when they see my food and ask what it is and/or why I'm not eating the pizza, BBQ, etc. This notion that vegans go around telling everyone they're vegan is actually vegan folks responding to questions about what they're eating/not eating rather than vegans arbitrarily telling people "I'm vegan". When they press me about my choice to be vegan, I tell them about the horror and abuse animals suffer and that I want no part of it. My advice to non-vegans who don't want to hear about the animal abuse and horrific suffering, don't ask questions that you don't want the answers to.

So against animal torture and mistreatment, but ok for doing that to yourself 😊 Those tattoos do you do justice and are just plain useless as the beauty of the human body cannot be improved upon 😊

Sorry, you’re asking too much of me. The public don’t need my empathy, they need to hear the truth. I’ll tell people that it’s wrong to kill and torture. I’ll tell them without anger, but I’ll tell them straight. They don’t need me as a friend. They need me to respect them enough to imagine that they might have enough goodness in them to consider changing when they realise what they’re doing

Needed to come back to this one. It gets me every time :'D <3

Great conversation Emily. It really organizes well thought that I had myself. To me, an important point for dealing with this issue is the fact that I used to be like the rest. Not only that, but I am still the same guy. So, I don’t reject neither who nor how I was before- I’m at peace with that, and this is a good point of departure to connect well with people. Of course, also, like you say, I made the decision on my own, with no pressure, and it took the time took, so, tempting as it may be, I don’t try to accelerate it in others. I also remind myself that all the vegan arguments in the world can be reduced to 4 words:” it is not necessary”. I say it sometimes and leave it there.

I don't feel bad for nonvegans anymore. I used to try and be reasonable with my discussions but you can clearly see what eating animals is doing to their minds. I'm done explaining myself and animal cruelty. Veg for life

I say that I am Pythagorean, the holier than thou road😊. Are Vegans from Vega? Are Vegetarians Vegetarian if they eat cheese eggs and fish? No. Vegetarian means One who eats Plants period.

I like veganism, but I don't like the double standards some vegans have in "pretending" they don't know nonveganism is like when they've been one. So I don't get how vegans don't relate with nonvegans. Vegans have to understand many nonvegans are naive. Even if you tell them some info people can't and shouldn't just blindly believe anything. They're still naive if it's really true and need to do more research. When some vegans or activists do extreme and crazy things that make the movement look so bad I question if they truly care about veganism.

Using robot horse! Instead of real horse! But it will very costly!

I am a Christian vegan . I totally agree with Gary . God is not through religion or words . God is through compassion for all living beings.

I'm not gonna lie, I've been a vegetarian for a year now, but after hearing that I'm doing more harm than good to these poor animals, I think I'm going back to an omnivorous diet.

Hey guys, I need some advice. I've been a vegan for over a year now and I think I'm really struggling with the fact how many people still eat meat and don't give a damn about animals suffering. Even when I try to talk with some of my family or friends it's the standard "but that's just how the world is", "but humans are meat eaters", "oh stop, you've probably read some bs on the internet" or downright saying they love meat too much to give up eating it. It's like they are so obsessed with eating meat that even knowing perfectly well that an animal had to die for this, they completely ignore it, pretend that animals don't feel, naively choosing complete denial just so they can keep enjoying a burger. Whenever I see a meat shop that has a picture of a happy pig on it I feel like that's literally one of the most f**ked up and disturbing things I've seen, Like what's that supposed to mean, an animal was happy to die just so you can have a 5 minute pleasure you could completely live without? Family dinners are a struggle, going to buy groceries and seeing so many corpses proudly displayed is too etc. I don't know guys, I've noticed that I find it harder and harder to cope with this, many days I find it impossible to foucs on simple tasks thinking of it all. And don't worry, I don't plan to go no-vegan, but I really need some advice from people who've been through something similar because it's been really bad for my mental health.

I have watched your channel for years even though I’m not vegan (mainly because my ARFID make cutting out large groups of food nearly impossible). But I do agree with a lot of your points and I limit animal exploitation as much as I can. I know most vegans would call me lazy and selfish and say I’m making excuses but the reality is we all can only do what we can do. We all have to prioritize and my mental and physical health has to come before the abstract goal of not buying animal products.

I'm here a bit late lol Thanks for all the amazing videos. I love this approach to activism
