my friends and family still refuse to watch footage. it disgusts me that they think they wouldn't be able to watch and yet they still fund this horridness. -_- it's selfish and they just don't want to change their ways
My family knows that all, but they don't care about it. I hate to eat with my them, becouse they try to male me eat flesh again. They understand everything what it means for the animals, the planet and they health. Its realy sad to see.
I’m vegan. I truly do not care what you eat. Leave me out of it. I’ve learned why I stopped arguing with people over this. Edit: I made this comment 3 years ago meaning my opinions have changed a lot. Back then I was very against those who ate meat. But my views quickly changed seeing the hypocrisy that view had. I saw many people who would deathly defend animal rights but support abortion rights. That’s just one example of many but it’s so unrealistic for society in terms of the United States to switch to this lifestyle considering the economic impact. I could get really into this but I thought it was important to address since this comment got so much traction. Edit 2: I’m also vegetarian now because vegansm destroyed the little energy I ever had left. Fellow Athletes I recommend a diet that doesn’t SEVERELY limit your choice in protein. Life’s much better with more options
I’m 15!! My family is the same lol 😂 but my mom is great and brought me to veg fest! I’m starting a vegan food/tennis insta it’s called healthyandhappylivin !!
I am a black woman from Detroit Michigan, now living in Tacoma Washington. This is information that NEVER makes it's way into most of our neighborhoods and homes. Watching your videos, you have opened my eyes, you have TRULY...opened my eyes. Thank you. And I will show these to whomever is willing to watch them with me. Keep up the beautiful/heartbreaking work.
Mallory Schroeder Agree... And it means that we have to learn and accept to leave with that f...... anger and with that pain every single day. There is not ONE SINGLE day where I dont want to scream to people "wake up !!! " in the street, in the supermarkets, in the restaurants... Being vegan involves all that pain, even if I am deeply optimistic... That means to be aware of the dark side of the humanity, and to learn to accept that even if in people we love... That is NOT easy. Sometimes I meet People who said to me "god you are vegan, that must be hard..." And I think in myself that it is, but not in the way they think... Learning to cook, to eat, to balance meals, to dress up.. That is piece of cake. Took me 2 months top... Learning to leave with people that CHOOSE to kill animals, despite all the informations they get, learning to be patient while you are angry and deeply sad all the time, that is the hard part....
Be Laet Perfectly put! Being a vegan is the best decision one can make, but there’ll always be that difficult side, dealing with those that still partake in consuming animals. But it’s the wilfully ignorant ones that I just can’t comprehend. It just baffles me!
I've been vegan for 6 months. Transitioning was not difficult for me at all. I just stopped consuming animal products. I didn't watch any of those slaughter house videos. Something just clicked one day and I stopped my old habits. The hard part for me is coming to terms with the fact that for 47 years of my life I contributed to the suffering of so many animals. I feel so ashamed that I didn't know any better.
What a brave woman! She saw the truth, didn't resort to defence mechanisms, let herself feel the way she needed to feel, and thanked the activists. Such a wonderful human being.
Yeah, it's messed up how society and corporations twist these things around. If we would start calling things by what they are and instead of showing lies(like happy cows or chickens on packaging) we would show the truth I think alot more people would think before they buy
@@martok2008 yeah so? It's still fucked up . If I go on a murder spree, kill a bunch of people. Make them into pattys and sell them as happy meals, it's completely fine because they don't know their dead?
@@martok2008 it's selling a lie. Gives a false image of the product people are buying. And happy meals are being promoted to kids, I'm sure if we showed kids what was actually being done instead of trying to sell it as something positive and fun way less would want one
This actually reminds me of when I was an omnivore and attended "rib fest" and couldn't help but notice a particular stand that had "peace, love" written allover it... Even then I questioned the stupidity of such words being associated with literally nothing but hacked up cows and pigs.
@@sophia-tj1ck It's still a living animal with soul feelings and the will to live just like us. So the question is, why do we feel the need to impede on these animals lives for our own satisfaction? And why do we justify it at the end of the day?
@@blizzzt it's a living animal but it doesn't have a soul. I thought this knowledge was taught in high school itself. They cry when their hurt, so that's why there's a correct way to kill an animal without pain. Secondly, their minds are not complex enough to even get dead, all they know is to survive. Besides we are killing them for food just like how they themselves kill other animals for food. Its the cycle of life. Also , we all have canine teeth . Obviously, it's function is for eating meat. If you are so pity for the animals, think about the amount of trees cut each day. Aren't trees a habitat for animals? Also, think about the area you're living in right now. It was obviously a part of the forest before they cut it down to make your house. An animal couldve live there.If you said animals had feelings, wouldn't they be sad that you're living in the place they were rightfully living? No , because they don't have a soul or a complex mind. God gave us animals for us . You may very well be a vegetarian but being an omnivore which is what all humans are, is not wrong either.
It's interesting how people struggle with this and can't immediately see how wrong this is. I truly believe the next phase of human development involves seeing animals as suffering and worthy of respect.
Without any disrespect, but I think that this is impossible. Soon enough, we will again be at each others throaths. So I doubt we will have some spare mercy for animals...
@Santiago Colla Still doesnt justify killing an animal.. but whatever. personally Ithink its more important to show parents rather than kids.. I was shown this as a kid and I remember telling me my mom I didnt want to eat pork anymore. But that did not go well. I was beaten if I didnt eat and I also didnt like veggies so it was difficult. As a result I just threw food down the toilet.. :D Also whats the good part..? I highly doubt it is profitable to spend money giving these animals some privileges when you can make more just skipping the humane part. I mean you are growing them to eat them why spend time attaching yourself to animals if you're going to kill them just to pleasure yourself. Not only is it more efficient but its also the fastest way to meet the demands thus more money. The "good" part you speak only exist because of the controversy.. You can thank us vegans and vegetarians for that! You're welcome. :D The changes for dairy farming you can thank us vegans.. :D These good parts arent "good" part but it shows how much of an effect the movement is turning out to be.. It will get better and with time you can spare all these complaints because proper nutrition will be taught in schools, your kids will eat healthier :D No more brainwashing kids from early age.. yeahh So youre welcome but dont forget you can also help :D
@Santiago Colla ok... Doesn't sound cost effective. If anything just sounds like what it used to be before all went to shit.. Meat is a luxury food.. What you explained to me is a luxury food.. What people eat is low quality food. Maybe you don't but majority does so basically it's reverting back to the issue only for people to forget and go back to eating factory meat. Meat doesn't grow like plants it takes time resources and plants to grow since we don't exactly eat carnivores.. Ironic actually. It's been proven over and over.. We can survive without meat so there's absolutely no need to nor is there any true jusfication for eating and killing animals aside of for pleasure. You can continue glorifying your farms but it doesn't change the outcome. Nothing truly beneficial just convenience and reluctance to give up society traditions.
akdeniz aslan Wrong, I love all animals that are not food. I think it's terrible what we are doing to making species like elephants or tigers go extinct. People killing tigers for sport are the evil ones, not people that eat meat. There are alot of wrong things about factory farming I agree, that doesn't mean it's wrong to eat meat. Humans are just an animal, animals eat whatever they can eat to survive. A lion is not evil for killing and eating an antilope nor is a human evil for eating a cow. I know you will say that we don't have to do this but that is irrelevant. There are far more destructive things that we don't have to do but we do anyway. For example our release of CO2 into the atmosphere causing destructive climate change.
akdeniz aslan Yes it is and it would be great of everyone cut down on eating meat but nobody is under any moral obligation to stop doing it just as nobody is required to stop driving cars even though it releases CO2.
@@corndog756 Even if plants were able to feel as much as mammals, eating meat actually kills more plants than eating them directly. TONS of plants are used to feed the animals that people eat. The most ethical diet, even relating to plants, is still the vegan diet.
My boyfriend lives across from a hog farm and slaughter house. You can hear the pigs screaming from his front yard. I switched to a WFPB diet for health reasons, but after hearing the pigs screaming I knew I couldn't ever eat meat again due to moral reasons.
@Julia C Meaning you have the CHOICE to eat things that don't have to suffer & die to make it on your plate, or you can go the horrible route of supporting the torture & suffering of other sentient beings. The first option is a lot better. I've seen some of your comments here, and you're clearly just wasting your time trolling vegan content cause you have nothing better to do with your life, but still - consider nurturing your conscience & gaining morals, because as of now, you're being a horrible person. Not just because you eat meat, more so because of your heartless attitude towards it.
1:20 I was that girl a few weeks ago, watching DOMINION. It felt like a grief to me, the same pain deep in my chest, like when my mom died. Since then I felt the strongest conviction in years: I won't eat animal nor derived products again.
Hearing that poor pig scream honestly made me cry and shake! 😢I've been a vegetarian almost all my life because I didn't want to harm animals, but didn't realize that I was still supporting the meat industry and cruelty towards animals until recently; 6 months ago, when I became a vegan. Best decision ever! I'll never change again!
@janajacoby3391 I hear you. The first time I saw a vegan documentary and heard the sounds of cows and pigs screaming before they were slaughtered, that's when I decided to become vegan. I've never looked back and my health and energy at 48 years old is 115% times better than when I was a teenager.
So powerful to see the people crying in the audience... You can tell they have woken up. The whole way you guys have done this is such an effective and amazing form of activism, the film & the speech then followed by how good vegan food tastes is bound to have turned so many people vegan!
Stefan Pejoski, you are so right!!! Most meat eaters could not slaughter their own food! And most meat eaters do not want to see the truth of what goes on because they fear their own reactions and possible lifestyle changes.
Hello peepal farm and robin sir, I became a vegan overnight when I watched "best speech ever by Gary Yourofsky".. Then little bit of Earthlings... Could just watch around 15 minutes... Then I started watching peepal farm and Aravind animal activist.....
lol yall like animals have to suffer, they have the best life being fed alot and plumped up and then killed-its the natural foodchain- but there life is better if they are in the wild and having to KILL other animals or they will be killed. Its common sense.
@@britishvader2438 (English isn't my first language, sorryyy) 90% of farms are industrials, and it's worst that wild life.... Also, we haven't the need to eat meat. I'm only vegetarian (reducing milk) but meat, it's obvious we don't NEED it. Lions they do. If you like to eat meat, ok. Don't really care about your like, but stop misinformation. I knew some non vegetarian/vegan who have better arguments than what you do. Work on that. Ps : if "food chain" (as you said) is destroying the planet, they are not any logic. In modern society, they aren't food chain anymore. It's a wild thing. Stop with that, it's ridiculous. Really, it make me laugh every time because it's manipulation of a wild term.
@@britishvader2438 best life? You can’t guarantee they are not abused and they take the baby away from the cow so they can get the milk for us to drink, the mother and baby cow are seperate to and then slaughtered. In some areas livestock animals are not free to roam around to.
@@percyvegan5902 you should stop eating farmed grains so that we could reduce the killing of insect and animal pest killed in large numbers everyday on farms and stopping the exploitation of animals for fertilizers. Because farming pushes alot of animals from their natural habitat we can do better that this. From the small insect to the large mammal their lives all matter.
I'm still eating meat if the world were to go vegan the animals would be considered pests there's not a healthy rotation of animals and then there's the predators that eat the animals then there's a high rise of predators hunting us and the livestock I dont support veganism and I won't ever support it
Love to the beautiful lady who cried.That's the same reaction I had a year & a half ago and I knew I wouldn't support any abuse to animals ever again.Vegan for life.Thank you Earthling Ed for educating people and for such compassion for her also.
Now it's time to awaken to the fact we are living on a Flat Earth. My awakening to that fact we are living on a Flat Plane has brought me to Veganism, it truly is a wonderful journey. Please research Flat Earth. TH-cam "200 proofs we are not living on a spinning ball" by Eric Dubay. Also youtube "Beyond the imaginary curve". :)
hector garza do you have a dog? A cat? Any pets that you’ve just called ‘worthless’? Probs not. Anyway- being vegan doesn’t mean you suddenly don’t care about other issues in the world?! in fact, the amount of human exploitation in the meat industry is ridiculous. Refugees being forced to work in slaughterhouses and many other humanitarian issues. Look into it before making ignorant comments.
Good lord the irony! When Ed literally said the words “glamourising flesh” a TH-cam ad kicked in for “hello fresh” showing meal kits and it immediately kicked off with chopped up animal flesh to show their product line. It’s like they wanted to prove his point lol
@@milkiasgebreyesus2202 Sure maybe if you live on an island and eat a vegan diet for years but most people have acess to supplements and won't be any less healthy, plus lowering risk of colon cancer and cardiovascular disease.
@@milkiasgebreyesus2202 That's true. It's kind of dumb that many vegans assume every single person that eats meat will get a heart disease. he didn't even reply you back 😂. This shows how "well informed" they are

@@OfficialSynthical You act like that chicken you're eating wasn't raised on plants. Where do you think that chicken gets the nutrients and proteins you absorb when you eat it? Ignorance at it's finest. 🤷
@@OfficialSynthical What's called food? Oh you mean the chicken you were rambling about. Yes, that's called chicken dude, and if you were able to put a thought together without feeling the need to throw an insult in there, maybe people would actually take you seriously.
Don't let it bring you down. With practice you will learn how to have good conversations with meat eaters about veganism peacefully or how to escape their questions kindly if you're too tired of them.
Activism and therapy will help. Talk to carnists and try to help them break the cognitive dissonance, see how you can improve the issue at hand and be content with what you can do.
sorry for my english. i'm vegetarian because of my 7 year old son. he refused to eat meat when he was about 5 after hearing in preschool that a porkchop is made from a pig. he asked me how a little piggy becomes something to eat. i just told him that we breed and kill animals but it;'s normal. yes, i said this to a small kid :( he burst into tears and said it's not normal and it's something horrible. it was obvious to him it's cruel when he got to know. why it's not for grown up people? he asked me the same question as author of this video: 'mum, will you eat our dog? it's like this little pig'. asked me also what other food is made from animals so i told him .he hasn't touched meat from that time . he always keep me on eye while shopping not to buy anything wiht maet. i cheated at the begging but i realised he is right not me. it's funny that this little boy show me what humanity is. maybe it's time to go further and become vegan? big thanks for this video
If you wanna be sure you could, instead of becoming vegan, look at the products. Now this is something everyone can do 😊. How they are treated ,where they are from etc. There are great possibilities. If you live in a rural area you may even know a farmer personally. Idk, it's different for everyone. But for example my friend has chickens (they don't eat them) and every morning there is a new egg. So they live happy in her big garden, she takes care of them and in exchang she get her own egg, not having to worry about anything. 💜
Please feed him MANY nuts and beans along with vitamins, being vegan since 4-5 is something that needs alot of overlooking, atleast he chose it and you didnt. Some people do that to their kids
Are u French ? I'm a boy and I wanna be vegetarian but my father doesn't really care about the animals, he doesn't know how terrible are the life conditions of the cows, the piggies, the sheep and of the others. He thinks that vegetarians always have a bad health, and he doesn't want to understand how dangerous it is for our Earth... I'm trying so haaard to find right reasons, "arguments" but I just can't, Even if I have proofs, videos, documentaries... I need to do something, I'm not able to eat meat anymore it's like I have a corpse in my mouth... Sorry for my English TT
@Natnipa Chowchankitthatwas very unprompted and I am unsure as to what the motive of your comment was. Translation for idiots like you: nobody asked and nobody cares
I think he actually was shocked and watching the movie did something to him...the girl on the other hand was giving him silent signals to make him say that he loves meat more than wanting to stop hurting animals, so he was acting a certain way in front of her...but inside he knew eating meat is wrong. .
Yes! Truth bombs!! That need to be shared. His calm demeanour is such a beautiful way of making people think. But of course so is being upfront as you do joey! it all counts and matters. Every person is different and every different approach matters to reach out to different people! Much love and respect to both of you! You have devoted your lives everyday to this cause and I'm sure I'm not the only person who's heart is touched by what you've devoted your life to. I hope you both know how much you mean to animals and people. In those difficult frustrating moments when your characters and actions are questioned, remember your purpose means so much! And as earthing ed has said before all great change has come with adversity in its time. You guys are the soldiers of this movement and are the hope sentient beings need in difficult times of change. Hope is literally what keeps us alive and keeps us fighting for what truly resonates in our heart. You two are the energy of that hope and belief as others were for racial and women's rights in thier time of adversity. This to takes courage and vulnerability, a fight from the heart and soul, as well as authentic selfless devotion. I commend you as others were later commended for fighting against human slavery against all odds in thier social cultural norms of the time. You may be the enemy to some right now but in time you will be the strength that made great change as others have been in the past.
I hate myself for not going vegan many years ago. I always loved animals, even more and more every year. How the hell did I continue to consume animal products until last year? It baffles me how we disconnect from reality for a fucking cultural thing
Don't worry, the vast majority of us have been living in the Meatrix our whole lives unknowingly as well as being shoved animal products in our faces 3+ times a day like it's 100% normal, given cows milk as kids propagated that it's healthy for our bones whilst the truth is the complete opposite. The best that we can do now as soon as we learn the truth is to try and educate others as much as we personally can.
Ed's right on the propaganda thing, all our lives and the lives of our parents & their parents before them have all been duped into believing that this is 'normal'. This is what it is and there is no other way around it, animals have to die so what we will do is put advert after advert on TV showing how happy these animals are in the fields and how good they are for you. You can't get these vitamins from anywhere else but from animal products. All bullshit, all lies to desensitise people into believing it's a necessary evil, it's ok they're only animals who gives a damn and unfortunately it's worked for many many years, it's ingrained into society. I was the same I can't deny it, I didn't see this, thought it was all perfectly normal behaviour, that what I was told was true. It's all bullshit. I'm 50 next year, stopped being an insensitive, immoral, ignorant twat when I was 42. Went veggie first got so much hassle and abuse it was unreal, when I went vegan all holy hell broke out 😂 I've been spat at, had one guy just because he heard me ask for dairy free milk at the counter in a cafe rub his ham sandwich in my face, I didn't recent mention being vegan, didn't have a t-shirt on or anything, had my own family laugh in my face about the animals abuse and been called an eco terrorist, a tree hugging freak, a weirdo u name it. Do I give a shit well in some ways I do because it's so disappointing to see what should be compassionate healthy normal people show such destructive behaviour just because you don't want to contribute to killing animals. I don't get it, but it shows to me just how much it upsets others that we see it and they either can't, don't want to because it challenges what they've been brought up to believe is right, or just plain sadistic bastards and they can't help being sadistic bastards. Those types would harm anyone animal or human I have no doubt. I think things are heading in the right direction though. I think more and more people over the next few years will become vegan and be active in the movement. I just hope the next generations will forgive mine and those before, for what we have done and hopefully move forward to a more compassionate, caring world that cares for each other, the planet and all the species within it. Because if we don't charge there won't be a planet to live on.
Hey, i know it’s been two years since this video was published. But i want to say thank you. I watched the earthling documentary and i just felt sick. I’m 13 and i don’t think i’ll ever eat meat again.
Seeing the trucks full of animals makes me cry. You can in their eyes how scared and sad they are. I don’t understand how people can see things like that and still eat meat and dairy. These poor animals deserve a chance to live just like the rest of us. There are still beings, they have feelings, and they feel pain. This is why I will never stop being vegan.
I wanna so bad as a child to live on plant resorted to violence if i did not eat what they serve me, and manipulate me if I did not eat, there are thousands of people that are starving and would be grateful to be in my shoes.. So I do understand, thats is the reason why I just live on bread and peanut butter and water... I do not need meat to live on. Thank you for being their ally...
So many activists doing phenomenal activism this year. Certainly Joey has geared up his game, and you too. This is next level professionalism. You're doing great Ed
@@ChandlerSomborac Yeah, sounds like you have the problem here, maybe your subconscious is making you feel guilty, and so you have to insult us guilt-free people? I don't think we are better than you, just pointing out what I saw.
I was admitted to hospital for mental reasons and had to go back to being vegetarian because they wouldn’t cater for vegans. Then I watched the documentary earthlings (while I was in hospital) and just refused to eat anything they gave me. Until my carer drove to the shops and bought vegan food and let me go to the kitchen (under close supervision) and got to cook my own food. Idk why I’m sharing this Rn but I wanted to so yeah. Also I met i diabetic boy (he was an amazing souled human) and I was talking to him about why I don’t eat meat and he actually ended up going vegan, he improved a lot in those few short weeks (idk if he’s still vegan but I hope he is) he was only 10
Guy in beanie: “Would you have a cow as a pet.” Me: yes, I’m rescuing a cow from a dairy farm. I’m rescuing a pig from a slaughterhouse. I’m rescuing a Pitbull from the fighting ring. I’m rescuing a greyhound from the race tracks. And I’m rescuing a black cat from euthanasia. If you don’t, that’s on you.
@@kingdomofprussiaball7438 No one cares what you do, we care about protecting animals, you know they slice them open right? Would you want some nice humans to care about you if you were being sliced up and eaten?
i cried during this video just hearing the pig screams. I never want to eat meat again after learning the cruel reality. I absolutely hated watching this but i needed to watch it, everyone should watch it.
Pig meat is almost identical to our own human body muscle. I was born a vegetarian with meat eating family members. On a cattle farm. I was the odd one out & happy to say, Still am😁
i'm 14 and i've been vegetarian since i was 11. everyone says i made a premature choice and that i was too young to decide, but i couldn't stand condoning with it any longer. i control my protein and vitamins intake, and everything with my body is doing great. changing your lifestyle is hard, being judged is hard, but i don't regret it at all. when i reach 18 (or start making my own money) i plan on going vegan. thank u for those videos, you're changing the world.
@Vincent Dolphin considering i said i control my protein intake and that i'm a vegetarian, not a vegan (which means i can and do eat eggs, besides other protein rich foods, on a daily basis) i think the only pea brain here is you, sir
I've had chronic anxiety for 18 months since watching Dominion. The past two months I've been doing therapy and I'm overcoming it quite a lot. Partaking in activism (just talking to carnists about veganism) has done wonders for me. Take care of yourself. Much love.
I remember how I cried the first time. I still cry whenever I see someone being cruel to an animal too. I try to avoid seeing those videos these days. Sometimes that doesn't matter, and I cry a bit anyway.
Raw FrugiViking same,at first seing "earthlings" i was quite numbed,i didn't..really feel much but discomfort,so i decided to replay the film...and not even 10 minutes in...it came in waves,i broke down and cried...taking no more, i decided to stop watching the film and go vegan. been ever since..
*Raw FrugiViking* oh wow... you must be really sensitive to that stuff. I am glad that I don't have that same problem with animals. However, I do cry when something bad or unfortunate enough happens. But animals being killed for food isn't one of those things. We are quite similar.
Porky The Pig Well, I'm glad I do have that so called "problem". To me, being empathic is not a problem, it is a gift. The thing is, animals are being killed, in truly horrific ways in the meat industry. So, the fact that there's a reason, which is food, or more accurately, profit, that doesn't matter a bit to me, because they are still being killed. When we then take into consideration, that they are being killed, for no good reason (because we can easily survive, and even thrive, without animal products in our diet) that just makes it extra horrible to me. We are literally killing billions of animals each year, so that people can take their rotting corpses into themselves for food. This results in diseases equally worth billions of dollars. The environment is being destroyed, forests are being cut down to make room for crops, crops not to feed to the millions of starving people who also inhabit this world, but crops to fatten up "livestock" because people like to eat rotting flesh of dead animals who didn't want to die, rather than a healthy diet consisting of what we are supposed to eat (evolutionary speaking) which is fruits and vegetables. So you see it's not JUST the animals being killed for food who are suffering because of this, it is literally all of us. We all live under the same sun. If we continue to give zero fucks about this problem that is animal agriculture, then we shall all suffer the consequences one day. It may be in 10 years, it may be in a hundred years, but sooner or later we will have done unrepairable damage to the climate. Sorry for the long-ish read. Obviously this is something I feel strongly about. I could have probably gone on and on all day. :)

Hearing Her say "Im not eating meat" made me start crying instantly. Such a passionate moment I genuinely believe Her too. She either went to fish only that day or went cold turkey.
Yes Kentucky needs a lot of help! My dad lives there and tells me stories all the time how ppl will go and run over someones pet that is in the streets for fun. It's gone beyond just consuming farm animals. They have no respect for other life at all.
@gözde koca I agree, BUT what makes it so absurd it that its even the other way round. By sticking to our morals we are not going through any hardship, but get rewarded by our health. So there really is not reason to not be a vegan.
@@SaschiaSlytherin That's stupid. Vegan is for the LIFE STYLE for animals, not for health. A whole food plant-rich diet is for our health. Why would you not want to have good health anyways, are you insane?
Watched Earthling a week ago. 39 years old and I've gone fully Vegan since then. I won't touch milk, eggs, meat etc. I'm disgusted with the world and the fact that this evil truth was hid from me for so long. Never again. It's been 8 days and I even feel better physically and am trying to spread the word.
Make sure to take care of yourself, and do not take shit from people. You will have people who will mock you and say unhinged things to you, so be prepared for those kinds of individuals. Good look in your advocacy.
One thing I'd recommend for the Land of Hope and Glory video is to take the "sad" music out. make it so that people can hear the real noises from the animals better, so it has more of an effect. also the music makes people think that the doc is "telling" them how to feel (this is why some people might say that docs like earthlings are propaganda - as it feels deceptive), when i think it would be more effective to just show the footage for what it is, with no other audio other than your narration.
The music was powerful to me. The music sounded more calm and relaxed to me. To see and hear the suffering animals and to hear the calm music almost instantly made me think of the way we disconnect from our food, what that piece of flesh was.
If i remember correctly the movie Earthlings is just a film with real screams, no music or smth. It was a movie that changed my life. I showed it to others too, but for most of them the screams were a bit too much. I mean. They probably would have watched it til the end, but they didn't bear. So i think the music in this movie is ok and i agree with the point that Bianca Hornak said.It draws perfectly the contrast between reality and illusion we live in.
This is such an important distinction. So many people claim to 'know what goes on', but it just doesn't sink in until you see it for yourself. It is barbaric and has no place in a civilised society.
There is no moral justification for killing an animal that doesn't want to die. I'm sorry for paying for their death. I don't need nor want a cruel meal served on my plate. I'm sorry for feeding my kids meat and eating it myself out of convenience and culture. No meat 2019 calendar year 1st. Will go from there. Thank you #compassionbeforeprofit
Hey everyone. So this is basically what I’ve been up to since October and what life is like on the tour! Sorry this is only the second full video from the tour itself, I can’t tell you how much footage I have to wade through and because I’ve been on the tour so much, I simply haven’t had the time to edit through it all on top of everything else. Hope you guys like this video style! Ed x
Earthling Ed can you also do vids on stopping things like Rattlesnake Roundups (the reason why I want to nuke America) and shark finning? These are worse than eating meat, it’s actual torture. (Especially the Roundups)
Earthling Ed You are an amazing human being, because I know all of this must be hard for you to witness and talk and think about almost every day. I’ve learned a lot from you. Thank you so much for everything you do!
Great Video! I have a questions for you. The info about Canadian slaughterhouses hiring Syrian refugees was new to me. As a Canadian activist this is important info for me to share with the public. I did a quick internet search but only found articles dating to 2016 and the meat industry wanting to hire the refugees but nothing after that saying it happened. Can you please forward me your source so I can check it out and share the Canadian content to the people? Many thanks!
I love when people say maybe just reduce the meat consumption? Like if you compared it to a serial rapist no one would say " maybe try to cut the rape down to only once in a while"?
@Central Intelligence Agency i disagree since the moment that you are taking some other living being rights to live, just for the taste of it. If you want to talk about rights, then you shouldn't be eating meat.
I’m twelve years old, and I’m vegetarian. I wish I could be vegan but my parents are completely against it. I’m heartbroken by how they treat animals and I NEED TO CHANGE.
First go talk to your parents and explain to them how you see things and why you want to go vegan. Then just ask them one single question :"How can I be too young to be a criminal but not to young to love animals and try to deliver theme from their suffering ?". And if non of that works and they completely refused and denied your point of view, put in you're mind that if you could you would directly become vegan. And the day your parents will no longer have any authority on you go vegan and do what please you.
Let them watch movies like the game changers on Netflix. If your parents allow you to go vegan or you do it anyway, remember to take a vitamin b12 supplement daily. It is the only thing you can't get reliably from a vegan diet. Best of luck !
After watching What the Health, I challenged myself to be Vegan for a week. Within that week, there was a lot of flatulence, phlegm coughed up, struggles of creating vegan dishes, awkward conversations with friends and family who oppose the idea, but I don’t regret my decision. Despite all of this, my chest pains that I’ve had since last year have gone away since starting this vegan journey. I have boundless energy now and my skin is radiant.This is the best I’ve looked and felt in a very long time. I am continuing this plant based diet not only for my own well being but also in hopes that one day we can save these innocent animals!
@Vincent Dolphin there’s nothing more natural than a bear tearing you to shreds. Natural /= healthy. What we do to source any of our food is “unnatural.” Growing plants and factory farming other animals are both unnatural. So this “natural” argument is a non-starter. The real question is “should we continue doing what we’re doing?” The downsides to continuing include ethical, environmental, and health considerations. The upside is “it tastes good.” And even the “it tastes good” argument falls flat when you consider that meat only tastes good because of the seasonings anyway and we can get those tastes and more out of a vegan diet. There’s no moral, environmental, or health justification to continue to do what we’re doing.
You guys, please watch the documentary “earthlings” . It’s very graphing and hard to watch but I promise it’s something we all should know. I refuse to be apart of the torture these animals go through . I’ve been vegetarian for over 7 years and I’m starting my journey to being vegan .
@lucaboden basically you are saying we might as well actively drive straight into people on purpose because we can't prevent traffic accidents *facepalm*
I love how effective his way of convincing people is. First the raw footage that creates shock and then the calm logical voice explaining you can truly make a difference by simply not taking part in it. Thank you for doing so much good, Ed. You're the best.
Yo, same! I'm willing to pay with some fatigue or whatver, if that was even a thing veganism led to, in order to save hundreds of others from torture and murder.
My grandfather is a vegetarian, occasionally drinks milk, just adds it in coffee, tea but eats mainly South Indian dishes, he is 86 and still going strong. All his meat-eating friends died at 50-60 years of age. And that too with a terrible heart-attack, organ failure
Ed, you inspired me to do outreach and it has given my life a sense of purpose where there once was none. Thank you for showing people how easy it is to make a difference for the animals.
I remember being a child and not understanding why I could go to my aunts chicken farm and play with the baby chicks and love them but turn around and eat chicken nuggets for dinner. I think it was so easy to just not think about what went on and be nieve instead of really knowing what I knew was wrong. I stayed blind to it for so many years because meat is just so readily available and your told your whole life you "need" it for protein or whatever else.... Fast forward about 20 years and I am now a parent myself, whose daughter one day asked me, mom-why do we eat animals? And all I could really tell her was, because me and daddy ate animals when we were growing up, and so did our moms and dads and their moms and dads. This lead into discussions just about daily from my 5year old and 10year old asking, mom what kind of animal are we eating today? Mom, what kind of animal is in our burger? And so on...this got me re-thinking ..WHY is it I justify animals being murdered just for 2 or 3meals a day to be on our plates? All 5 of us??!!! A few documentaries later- myself, my husband, and my 3 kids all converted to WFPB/Vegan diets and its been 2 months now! Never turning back. We all feel great and my kids are happy to know that every meal of everyday never has an animal who died for us to feel full. Lots of fruit and veggies now and no complaints! Thanks for all you do Ed, your truly an inspiration💗
The Selfishness of some people sickens me. I used the same excuses that they use. But I went into study about veganism with an open mind. The truth nailed me like a hammer between the eyes.
Thank you so much Jim for having an open heart and thank you for not closing your eyes to the truth of the real suffering of animals, in specific farm animals. Keep up the compassionate work.
Absolutely amazing Ed! I was tearing up at how responsive the students were to your words. So glad to have someone like you influencing today’s youth to make changes towards a vegan world. All my love xx
Did you watch it all the way through? I'm vegan and only got a few minutes in years ago. Now I am gradually watching the whole thing, taking breaks for days.
@@SeitanicLady I did it all in one sitting sobbing. I thought about turning it off, but I didn’t want to ignore reality anymore. That’s a better idea then what I did.
@@lizmccaleb577 you definitely don't need to watch the whole thing to care :) When I first saw it, I got to the part where the baby pig was walking on top of their own dead brothers and sisters and eating them, and I just started shaking and crying, turned off the video and ran to my sister and asked her for a hug and told her I'm so glad she's vegan, too. We don't even hug normally but that made me hug her.
Nome That's how I felt before I finally saw reality and woke up on September 1st 2016. I've never felt more free and awake to life. I appreciate everything so much more. I wish you a lovely day ahead. Keep that connection awake and aware.
Whiskur thanks. I actually am vegan I just couldnt believe any of us could have gone as far as he did. Its insane just looking at all those people. We really ought to be more active. This change really is already happening.
Nome I wasn't denying that you weren't. Sorry if I made you feel that way. But I agree. It's important now more than ever to speak up as things are starting to have a huge snowball effect.
wow thats funny whiskur, sep. 2016 was when i also became vegan lol. i dont ever think about meat anymore and im glad i did in this day and age when there are so much yummy vegan food
OMG IVE MET HIM ! Loved him he was brill - I’m not trying to sound like a kiss ass but he was the reason I’ve gone vegan . So much love for people that spread the word ❤️
I’m only 12 and you’re account has made me become a pescatarian I can’t be a vegetarian right now because my family still eats meat but I get 20 dollars I buy some food for and I’ve been a pescatarian for for abt 2 weeks now best choice I’ve ever made but when I’m 14 imma become a vegetarian then at 16 a vegan or possibly even earlier
If you truly wanna be vegan, just tell your parents that this is your choice and if they don't understand tell theme that you want to stop animal cruelty around the world. And even if you're still young, ask your family how can you be too young to be a criminal but not too young to be able to love animals and fight against their exploitation. And don't go by doing a lot of transitions such as going vegetarian and then becoming vegan because as you should know being vegetarian has the same results as being a meat eater ---> climate-change/health diseases/animal exploitation and cruelty. SO JUST GO VEGAN AND DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHERS WILL SAY AND EVEN WHAT YOUR FAMILY THINK !! JUST DO IT !!
@@rayaxmerza I'd like to disagree with you, my friend. Each one of us is different and we all have our differences. Some of us can switch to veganism in a night, but most people need to take things on their pace. It may be hard for her and her family to balance their diets. I agree that she should clarify the reasons she wanna become a vegan. Most of the times it's very hard to be the only vegan in a meat eating family. I'm a vegan as well but i began as flexitarian, then vegetarian and ended up vegan only after i moved out of my house because i had the same problem with her. And yes, being pescatarian/vegetarian isn't the best thing for the planet but it's still way better than being a meat eater. I believe that instead of crushing down each other's efforts, we should all support the new vegans and the one's who are slowly transitioning to it.💚🌱
Thank you so much for all you do. I became Vegan 4 years ago and I have only one regret. I wish I was Vegan from birth. At least, I wish I became Vegan sooner. My husband was hesitant since he was the biggest steak lover I knew. But with eating an amazing Vegan dishes (now whole foods plant based), we felt better, lost weight, discover new foods, recipes...WE ARE THRIVING! We see the animals in a completely different light. I now TRULY LOVE ALL ANIMALS! It took my husband only 4 months when one day he declared: "I AM VEGAN, FOR LIFE, FOR ANIMALS". We are closer than we ever been, we participate in animal activism and educate our families and friends. #veganforanimals
Anyone with a "heart" would break down and/or be severely disturbed by the truth...only a sociopath would not have this reaction....fantastic work, Ed...your activism is greatly appreciated....
*Vegan For The Animals Ⓥ* so anyone who doesn't react that way is a sociopath? What you said is about equivalent to if one were to say "only a sociopath would have that reaction". Seems pretty flawed to me, but I guess that is typically the vegan mindset, huh?
Love you! Your work is fantastic and I think you're the best vegan activist since you're to the point, clear, logical and not intimidating (but assertive when necessary). I believe that's the magic combination for most effective activism
It’s amazing seeing the reactions to the footage- devastation, shock, numbness and disbelief... So thankful you guys are showing the world the truth. Keep it up, we need you. ♥️

@@NoName-ng9uv lol okay no name. Calm down there mate
Why will go down bro
I’m vegan. I truly do not care what you eat. Leave me out of it. I’ve learned why I stopped arguing with people over this.
Edit: I made this comment 3 years ago meaning my opinions have changed a lot. Back then I was very against those who ate meat. But my views quickly changed seeing the hypocrisy that view had. I saw many people who would deathly defend animal rights but support abortion rights. That’s just one example of many but it’s so unrealistic for society in terms of the United States to switch to this lifestyle considering the economic impact. I could get really into this but I thought it was important to address since this comment got so much traction.
Edit 2: I’m also vegetarian now because vegansm destroyed the little energy I ever had left. Fellow Athletes I recommend a diet that doesn’t SEVERELY limit your choice in protein. Life’s much better with more options
I’m 15!! My family is the same lol 😂 but my mom is great and brought me to veg fest! I’m starting a vegan food/tennis insta it’s called healthyandhappylivin !!

Agree...
And it means that we have to learn and accept to leave with that f...... anger and with that pain every single day.
There is not ONE SINGLE day where I dont want to scream to people "wake up !!! " in the street, in the supermarkets, in the restaurants...
Being vegan involves all that pain, even if I am deeply optimistic...
That means to be aware of the dark side of the humanity, and to learn to accept that even if in people we love...
That is NOT easy.
Sometimes I meet People who said to me "god you are vegan, that must be hard..."
And I think in myself that it is, but not in the way they think...
Learning to cook, to eat, to balance meals, to dress up..
That is piece of cake.
Took me 2 months top...
Learning to leave with people that CHOOSE to kill animals, despite all the informations they get, learning to be patient while you are angry and deeply sad all the time, that is the hard part....
Be Laet Perfectly put! Being a vegan is the best decision one can make, but there’ll always be that difficult side, dealing with those that still partake in consuming animals. But it’s the wilfully ignorant ones that I just can’t comprehend. It just baffles me!
I've been vegan for 6 months. Transitioning was not difficult for me at all. I just stopped consuming animal products. I didn't watch any of those slaughter house videos. Something just clicked one day and I stopped my old habits.
The hard part for me is coming to terms with the fact that for 47 years of my life I contributed to the suffering of so many animals. I feel so ashamed that I didn't know any better.
What a brave woman! She saw the truth, didn't resort to defence mechanisms, let herself feel the way she needed to feel, and thanked the activists. Such a wonderful human being.

Yeah, it's messed up how society and corporations twist these things around. If we would start calling things by what they are and instead of showing lies(like happy cows or chickens on packaging) we would show the truth I think alot more people would think before they buy
Why? They don't know they are in a patty neither that we call it a happy meal. When we cut them they're already dead.
@@martok2008 yeah so? It's still fucked up . If I go on a murder spree, kill a bunch of people. Make them into pattys and sell them as happy meals, it's completely fine because they don't know their dead?
@@martok2008 it's selling a lie. Gives a false image of the product people are buying. And happy meals are being promoted to kids, I'm sure if we showed kids what was actually being done instead of trying to sell it as something positive and fun way less would want one
This actually reminds me of when I was an omnivore and attended "rib fest" and couldn't help but notice a particular stand that had "peace, love" written allover it... Even then I questioned the stupidity of such words being associated with literally nothing but hacked up cows and pigs.
That sound of the pigs screaming, it's always a sharp reminder why I am vegan and why I will never go back.

I don't think there is a worst sound man, its fucking heartbreaking and it always motivates me to fight for their liberation

@@Vanessaartistgirl2233 yea, thats why you cook it dumbass
@@blizzzt it's a living animal but it doesn't have a soul. I thought this knowledge was taught in high school itself. They cry when their hurt, so that's why there's a correct way to kill an animal without pain. Secondly, their minds are not complex enough to even get dead, all they know is to survive. Besides we are killing them for food just like how they themselves kill other animals for food. Its the cycle of life. Also , we all have canine teeth . Obviously, it's function is for eating meat. If you are so pity for the animals, think about the amount of trees cut each day. Aren't trees a habitat for animals? Also, think about the area you're living in right now. It was obviously a part of the forest before they cut it down to make your house. An animal couldve live there.If you said animals had feelings, wouldn't they be sad that you're living in the place they were rightfully living? No , because they don't have a soul or a complex mind. God gave us animals for us . You may very well be a vegetarian but being an omnivore which is what all humans are, is not wrong either.
It's interesting how people struggle with this and can't immediately see how wrong this is. I truly believe the next phase of human development involves seeing animals as suffering and worthy of respect.
Without any disrespect, but I think that this is impossible. Soon enough, we will again be at each others throaths. So I doubt we will have some spare mercy for animals...

@Santiago Colla Still doesnt justify killing an animal.. but whatever. personally Ithink its more important to show parents rather than kids.. I was shown this as a kid and I remember telling me my mom I didnt want to eat pork anymore. But that did not go well. I was beaten if I didnt eat and I also didnt like veggies so it was difficult. As a result I just threw food down the toilet.. :D
Also whats the good part..? I highly doubt it is profitable to spend money giving these animals some privileges when you can make more just skipping the humane part. I mean you are growing them to eat them why spend time attaching yourself to animals if you're going to kill them just to pleasure yourself. Not only is it more efficient but its also the fastest way to meet the demands thus more money. The "good" part you speak only exist because of the controversy.. You can thank us vegans and vegetarians for that! You're welcome. :D
The changes for dairy farming you can thank us vegans.. :D These good parts arent "good" part but it shows how much of an effect the movement is turning out to be.. It will get better and with time you can spare all these complaints because proper nutrition will be taught in schools, your kids will eat healthier :D No more brainwashing kids from early age.. yeahh
So youre welcome but dont forget you can also help :D
@Santiago Colla ok... Doesn't sound cost effective. If anything just sounds like what it used to be before all went to shit.. Meat is a luxury food.. What you explained to me is a luxury food.. What people eat is low quality food. Maybe you don't but majority does so basically it's reverting back to the issue only for people to forget and go back to eating factory meat. Meat doesn't grow like plants it takes time resources and plants to grow since we don't exactly eat carnivores.. Ironic actually. It's been proven over and over.. We can survive without meat so there's absolutely no need to nor is there any true jusfication for eating and killing animals aside of for pleasure. You can continue glorifying your farms but it doesn't change the outcome. Nothing truly beneficial just convenience and reluctance to give up society traditions.
if you are a meat-eater and say you love animals, you love PETS not ANIMALS
Milkias Gebreyesus pets are no different than animals
akdeniz aslan Wrong, I love all animals that are not food. I think it's terrible what we are doing to making species like elephants or tigers go extinct. People killing tigers for sport are the evil ones, not people that eat meat. There are alot of wrong things about factory farming I agree, that doesn't mean it's wrong to eat meat. Humans are just an animal, animals eat whatever they can eat to survive. A lion is not evil for killing and eating an antilope nor is a human evil for eating a cow. I know you will say that we don't have to do this but that is irrelevant. There are far more destructive things that we don't have to do but we do anyway. For example our release of CO2 into the atmosphere causing destructive climate change.
Beaver Ones and animal agriculture is one of the reasons for climate change 😑
Milkias Gebreyesus i didn’t say that, we cut down millions of trees everyday just so we can feed the cattle’s. So burning trees, produces CO2.
akdeniz aslan Yes it is and it would be great of everyone cut down on eating meat but nobody is under any moral obligation to stop doing it just as nobody is required to stop driving cars even though it releases CO2.

My boyfriend lives across from a hog farm and slaughter house. You can hear the pigs screaming from his front yard. I switched to a WFPB diet for health reasons, but after hearing the pigs screaming I knew I couldn't ever eat meat again due to moral reasons.
Omg I couldn’t even imagine living next to one of those hell houses. Horrible and revolting what people do to animals
what are morals?
@Julia C Meaning you have the CHOICE to eat things that don't have to suffer & die to make it on your plate, or you can go the horrible route of supporting the torture & suffering of other sentient beings. The first option is a lot better.
I've seen some of your comments here, and you're clearly just wasting your time trolling vegan content cause you have nothing better to do with your life, but still - consider nurturing your conscience & gaining morals, because as of now, you're being a horrible person.

Love to the beautiful lady who cried.That's the same reaction I had a year & a half ago and I knew I wouldn't support any abuse to animals ever again.Vegan for life.Thank you Earthling Ed for educating people and for such compassion for her also.
I cried for that girl. I know that pain. Im so happy she was awakened xxx
Now it's time to awaken to the fact we are living on a Flat Earth. My awakening to that fact we are living on a Flat Plane has brought me to Veganism, it truly is a wonderful journey. Please research Flat Earth. TH-cam "200 proofs we are not living on a spinning ball" by Eric Dubay. Also youtube "Beyond the imaginary curve". :)

Crying over a worthless animal, while their are people suffering around the world.
hector garza do you have a dog? A cat? Any pets that you’ve just called ‘worthless’? Probs not. Anyway- being vegan doesn’t mean you suddenly don’t care about other issues in the world?! in fact, the amount of human exploitation in the meat industry is ridiculous. Refugees being forced to work in slaughterhouses and many other humanitarian issues. Look into it before making ignorant comments.
Good lord the irony! When Ed literally said the words “glamourising flesh” a TH-cam ad kicked in for “hello fresh” showing meal kits and it immediately kicked off with chopped up animal flesh to show their product line. It’s like they wanted to prove his point lol
I got an ad for KFC at this point! Super ironic

Don't let it bring you down. With practice you will learn how to have good conversations with meat eaters about veganism peacefully or how to escape their questions kindly if you're too tired of them.
Activism and therapy will help. Talk to carnists and try to help them break the cognitive dissonance, see how you can improve the issue at hand and be content with what you can do.
sorry for my english. i'm vegetarian because of my 7 year old son. he refused to eat meat when he was about 5 after hearing in preschool that a porkchop is made from a pig. he asked me how a little piggy becomes something to eat. i just told him that we breed and kill animals but it;'s normal. yes, i said this to a small kid :( he burst into tears and said it's not normal and it's something horrible. it was obvious to him it's cruel when he got to know. why it's not for grown up people? he asked me the same question as author of this video: 'mum, will you eat our dog? it's like this little pig'. asked me also what other food is made from animals so i told him .he hasn't touched meat from that time . he always keep me on eye while shopping not to buy anything wiht maet. i cheated at the begging but i realised he is right not me. it's funny that this little boy show me what humanity is. maybe it's time to go further and become vegan? big thanks for this video
If you wanna be sure you could, instead of becoming vegan, look at the products. Now this is something everyone can do 😊. How they are treated ,where they are from etc. There are great possibilities. If you live in a rural area you may even know a farmer personally. Idk, it's different for everyone. But for example my friend has chickens (they don't eat them) and every morning there is a new egg. So they live happy in her big garden, she takes care of them and in exchang she get her own egg, not having to worry about anything. 💜
Please feed him MANY nuts and beans along with vitamins, being vegan since 4-5 is something that needs alot of overlooking, atleast he chose it and you didnt. Some people do that to their kids
Are u French ? I'm a boy and I wanna be vegetarian but my father doesn't really care about the animals, he doesn't know how terrible are the life conditions of the cows, the piggies, the sheep and of the others.
He thinks that vegetarians always have a bad health, and he doesn't want to understand how dangerous it is for our Earth...

Yes! Truth bombs!! That need to be shared. His calm demeanour is such a beautiful way of making people think. But of course so is being upfront as you do joey! it all counts and matters. Every person is different and every different approach matters to reach out to different people! Much love and respect to both of you! You have devoted your lives everyday to this cause and I'm sure I'm not the only person who's heart is touched by what you've devoted your life to. I hope you both know how much you mean to animals and people. In those difficult frustrating moments when your characters and actions are questioned, remember your purpose means so much! And as earthing ed has said before all great change has come with adversity in its time. You guys are the soldiers of this movement and are the hope sentient beings need in difficult times of change. Hope is literally what keeps us alive and keeps us fighting for what truly resonates in our heart. You two are the energy of that hope and belief as others were for racial and women's rights in thier time of adversity. This to takes courage and vulnerability, a fight from the heart and soul, as well as authentic selfless devotion. I commend you as others were later commended for fighting against human slavery against all odds in thier social cultural norms of the time. You may be the enemy to some right now but in time you will be the strength that made great change as others have been in the past.

What a bunch of pussy snowflakes
What a pussy as bitch
I hate myself for not going vegan many years ago. I always loved animals, even more and more every year. How the hell did I continue to consume animal products until last year? It baffles me how we disconnect from reality for a fucking cultural thing
Don't worry, the vast majority of us have been living in the Meatrix our whole lives unknowingly as well as being shoved animal products in our faces 3+ times a day like it's 100% normal, given cows milk as kids propagated that it's healthy for our bones whilst the truth is the complete opposite. The best that we can do now as soon as we learn the truth is to try and educate others as much as we personally can.
We all feel this way. Your not alone in that.
yeah, its absurd
Ed's right on the propaganda thing, all our lives and the lives of our parents & their parents before them have all been duped into believing that this is 'normal'. This is what it is and there is no other way around it, animals have to die so what we will do is put advert after advert on TV showing how happy these animals are in the fields and how good they are for you. You can't get these vitamins from anywhere else but from animal products. All bullshit, all lies to desensitise people into believing it's a necessary evil, it's ok they're only animals who gives a damn and unfortunately it's worked for many many years, it's ingrained into society. I was the same I can't deny it, I didn't see this, thought it was all perfectly normal behaviour, that what I was told was true. It's all bullshit. I'm 50 next year, stopped being an insensitive, immoral, ignorant twat when I was 42. Went veggie first got so much hassle and abuse it was unreal, when I went vegan all holy hell broke out 😂 I've been spat at, had one guy just because he heard me ask for dairy free milk at the counter in a cafe rub his ham sandwich in my face, I didn't recent mention being vegan, didn't have a t-shirt on or anything, had my own family laugh in my face about the animals abuse and been called an eco terrorist, a tree hugging freak, a weirdo u name it. Do I give a shit well in some ways I do because it's so disappointing to see what should be compassionate healthy normal people show such destructive behaviour just because you don't want to contribute to killing animals. I don't get it, but it shows to me just how much it upsets others that we see it and they either can't, don't want to because it challenges what they've been brought up to believe is right, or just plain sadistic bastards and they can't help being sadistic bastards. Those types would harm anyone animal or human I have no doubt. I think things are heading in the right direction though. I think more and more people over the next few years will become vegan and be active in the movement. I just hope the next generations will forgive mine and those before, for what we have done and hopefully move forward to a more compassionate, caring world that cares for each other, the planet and all the species within it. Because if we don't charge there won't be a planet to live on.
Hey, i know it’s been two years since this video was published. But i want to say thank you. I watched the earthling documentary and i just felt sick. I’m 13 and i don’t think i’ll ever eat meat again.
Seeing the trucks full of animals makes me cry. You can in their eyes how scared and sad they are. I don’t understand how people can see things like that and still eat meat and dairy. These poor animals deserve a chance to live just like the rest of us. There are still beings, they have feelings, and they feel pain. This is why I will never stop being vegan.

Dominion turned me vegan. Overnight. I'm eternally grateful.
I remember how I cried the first time. I still cry whenever I see someone being cruel to an animal too. I try to avoid seeing those videos these days. Sometimes that doesn't matter, and I cry a bit anyway.
Raw FrugiViking same,at first seing "earthlings" i was quite numbed,i didn't..really feel much but discomfort,so i decided to replay the film...and not even 10 minutes in...it came in waves,i broke down and cried...taking no more, i decided to stop watching the film and go vegan. been ever since..
*Raw FrugiViking* oh wow... you must be really sensitive to that stuff. I am glad that I don't have that same problem with animals. However, I do cry when something bad or unfortunate enough happens. But animals being killed for food isn't one of those things. We are quite similar.
Porky The Pig Well, I'm glad I do have that so called "problem". To me, being empathic is not a problem, it is a gift. The thing is, animals are being killed, in truly horrific ways in the meat industry. So, the fact that there's a reason, which is food, or more accurately, profit, that doesn't matter a bit to me, because they are still being killed. When we then take into consideration, that they are being killed, for no good reason (because we can easily survive, and even thrive, without animal products in our diet) that just makes it extra horrible to me. We are literally killing billions of animals each year, so that people can take their rotting corpses into themselves for food. This results in diseases equally worth billions of dollars. The environment is being destroyed, forests are being cut down to make room for crops, crops not to feed to the millions of starving people who also inhabit this world, but crops to fatten up "livestock" because people like to eat rotting flesh of dead animals who didn't want to die, rather than a healthy diet consisting of what we are supposed to eat (evolutionary speaking) which is fruits and vegetables. So you see it's not JUST the animals being killed for food who are suffering because of this, it is literally all of us. We all live under the same sun. If we continue to give zero fucks about this problem that is animal agriculture, then we shall all suffer the consequences one day. It may be in 10 years, it may be in a hundred years, but sooner or later we will have done unrepairable damage to the climate.
Sorry for the long-ish read. Obviously this is something I feel strongly about. I could have probably gone on and on all day. :)

One thing I'd recommend for the Land of Hope and Glory video is to take the "sad" music out. make it so that people can hear the real noises from the animals better, so it has more of an effect. also the music makes people think that the doc is "telling" them how to feel (this is why some people might say that docs like earthlings are propaganda - as it feels deceptive), when i think it would be more effective to just show the footage for what it is, with no other audio other than your narration.
Edward George I agree!
agreed!
The music was powerful to me. The music sounded more calm and relaxed to me. To see and hear the suffering animals and to hear the calm music almost instantly made me think of the way we disconnect from our food, what that piece of flesh was.
If i remember correctly the movie Earthlings is just a film with real screams, no music or smth. It was a movie that changed my life. I showed it to others too, but for most of them the screams were a bit too much. I mean. They probably would have watched it til the end, but they didn't bear. So i think the music in this movie is ok and i agree with the point that Bianca Hornak said.It draws perfectly the contrast between reality and illusion we live in.

Now i just wanna cut a cow Open and just throw the meat on a grill, and make a big fat burger lol🍔🤣
Imagine I’m whispering. “Hey... mate... it’s a fucking cow.
I’m twelve years old, and I’m vegetarian. I wish I could be vegan but my parents are completely against it. I’m heartbroken by how they treat animals and I NEED TO CHANGE.
It's your decision, not your parents. My mom was against too, but I changed my diet, when I was 13.
Jaśmina Len no no no. She won’t FEED ME if I’m vegan
First go talk to your parents and explain to them how you see things and why you want to go vegan. Then just ask them one single question :"How can I be too young to be a criminal but not to young to love animals and try to deliver theme from their suffering ?".
And if non of that works and they completely refused and denied your point of view, put in you're mind that if you could you would directly become vegan. And the day your parents will no longer have any authority on you go vegan and do what please you.
Tell your patents to watch the film whats the health
Let them watch movies like the game changers on Netflix. If your parents allow you to go vegan or you do it anyway, remember to take a vitamin b12 supplement daily. It is the only thing you can't get reliably from a vegan diet. Best of luck !
After watching What the Health, I challenged myself to be Vegan for a week. Within that week, there was a lot of flatulence, phlegm coughed up, struggles of creating vegan dishes, awkward conversations with friends and family who oppose the idea, but I don’t regret my decision. Despite all of this, my chest pains that I’ve had since last year have gone away since starting this vegan journey. I have boundless energy now and my skin is radiant.This is the best I’ve looked and felt in a very long time. I am continuing this plant based diet not only for my own well being but also in hopes that one day we can save these innocent animals!
@Vincent Dolphin processed foods are way less "natural"
@Vincent Dolphin i bet u eat potato chips, can food, processed food, pies and sweets.
And u say not eating meat is unnatural.
So funny 😂😂😂
@Vincent Dolphin there’s nothing more natural than a bear tearing you to shreds.
Natural /= healthy. What we do to source any of our food is “unnatural.” Growing plants and factory farming other animals are both unnatural. So this “natural” argument is a non-starter.
The real question is “should we continue doing what we’re doing?” The downsides to continuing include ethical, environmental, and health considerations. The upside is “it tastes good.”
And even the “it tastes good” argument falls flat when you consider that meat only tastes good because of the seasonings anyway and we can get those tastes and more out of a vegan diet.
There’s no moral, environmental, or health justification to continue to do what we’re doing.
She reminded me of myself when I saw it for the first time... Except that I couldn't stop crying.... Great job, guys!!!
You guys, please watch the documentary “earthlings” .
It’s very graphing and hard to watch but I promise it’s something we all should know.
I refuse to be apart of the torture these animals go through .
I’ve been vegetarian for over 7 years and I’m starting my journey to being vegan .
@lucaboden basically you are saying we might as well actively drive straight into people on purpose because we can't prevent traffic accidents *facepalm*
@lucaboden When you find out most of the soy grown is fed to livestock lol
Gave me nightmares.
Just watched and it seems very one sided like politics it shows one side and that side only it shows the worst stuff they could fine
I love how effective his way of convincing people is. First the raw footage that creates shock and then the calm logical voice explaining you can truly make a difference by simply not taking part in it. Thank you for doing so much good, Ed. You're the best.
"bUt vEgAnS aRe aT a hIgHeR rIsK oF dYiNg"
Bruh first of all cite ur sources, second of all I would give my life in a heartbeat to save these animals.
Yo, same! I'm willing to pay with some fatigue or whatver, if that was even a thing veganism led to, in order to save hundreds of others from torture and murder.
My grandfather is a vegetarian, occasionally drinks milk, just adds it in coffee, tea but eats mainly South Indian dishes, he is 86 and still going strong. All his meat-eating friends died at 50-60 years of age. And that too with a terrible heart-attack, organ failure
I would still eat meat tho
they say that like eating meat is healthy lol
@@Nbody420 then you are contributing to the life of torture to these animals
man i cant wait to go vegan as soon as i move out
Army I had the same idea and that's kinda wrong u should now reduce consuming them before moving out and after u do u can then cut things completely
[ myg ] same, I'm doing that too, but I'm vegetarian for now
same I'm vegetarian now but I'll go vigan in my future life
@@chanellethomas2106 same
Why don't you just not eat meat, fish, dairy, eggs, honey?
Thank you for your activism
Ed, you inspired me to do outreach and it has given my life a sense of purpose where there once was none. Thank you for showing people how easy it is to make a difference for the animals.
amazing! keep it up! :D
I remember being a child and not understanding why I could go to my aunts chicken farm and play with the baby chicks and love them but turn around and eat chicken nuggets for dinner. I think it was so easy to just not think about what went on and be nieve instead of really knowing what I knew was wrong. I stayed blind to it for so many years because meat is just so readily available and your told your whole life you "need" it for protein or whatever else....
Fast forward about 20 years and I am now a parent myself, whose daughter one day asked me, mom-why do we eat animals? And all I could really tell her was, because me and daddy ate animals when we were growing up, and so did our moms and dads and their moms and dads. This lead into discussions just about daily from my 5year old and 10year old asking, mom what kind of animal are we eating today? Mom, what kind of animal is in our burger? And so on...this got me re-thinking ..WHY is it I justify animals being murdered just for 2 or 3meals a day to be on our plates? All 5 of us??!!!
A few documentaries later- myself, my husband, and my 3 kids all converted to WFPB/Vegan diets and its been 2 months now! Never turning back. We all feel great and my kids are happy to know that every meal of everyday never has an animal who died for us to feel full. Lots of fruit and veggies now and no complaints!
Thanks for all you do Ed, your truly an inspiration💗
I am speechless... Your work will affect the worldview of so many people! Thank you for what you do.
thank you so much for the kind feedback!
The Selfishness of some people sickens me. I used the same excuses that they use. But I went into study about veganism with an open mind. The truth nailed me like a hammer between the eyes.
Do you seriously believe animals are killed in gas chambers? Smh you're way too naive
@Uros Djurdjevic Plants don't have complex nerves and many of them rely on being consumed to reproduced. Your argument is irrelevant and moot.
Thank you so much Jim for having an open heart and thank you for not closing your eyes to the truth of the real suffering of animals, in specific farm animals. Keep up the compassionate work.
sorry to hear Jim, as you'll soon find out humans can't survive on plants and fake meats - pretty soon you'll start to look like this guy earthing ed
@@bruceb8140 Could you show me at least one scientific evidence that supports this?
Absolutely amazing Ed! I was tearing up at how responsive the students were to your words. So glad to have someone like you influencing today’s youth to make changes towards a vegan world. All my love xx
I sobbed watching Dominion. It made me vegan.
Did you watch it all the way through? I'm vegan and only got a few minutes in years ago. Now I am gradually watching the whole thing, taking breaks for days.
@@SeitanicLady I did it all in one sitting sobbing. I thought about turning it off, but I didn’t want to ignore reality anymore. That’s a better idea then what I did.
@@lizmccaleb577 you definitely don't need to watch the whole thing to care :) When I first saw it, I got to the part where the baby pig was walking on top of their own dead brothers and sisters and eating them, and I just started shaking and crying, turned off the video and ran to my sister and asked her for a hug and told her I'm so glad she's vegan, too. We don't even hug normally but that made me hug her.
One person at a time, or in your case 100s
Okay. I'm starting to feel a bit guilty seeing just how ridiculously dedicated this guy is.
Nome get out there and do activism. The animals need every single one of us.
Nome That's how I felt before I finally saw reality and woke up on September 1st 2016. I've never felt more free and awake to life. I appreciate everything so much more. I wish you a lovely day ahead. Keep that connection awake and aware.
Whiskur thanks. I actually am vegan I just couldnt believe any of us could have gone as far as he did. Its insane just looking at all those people. We really ought to be more active. This change really is already happening.
Nome I wasn't denying that you weren't. Sorry if I made you feel that way. But I agree. It's important now more than ever to speak up as things are starting to have a huge snowball effect.
wow thats funny whiskur, sep. 2016 was when i also became vegan lol. i dont ever think about meat anymore and im glad i did in this day and age when there are so much yummy vegan food
OMG IVE MET HIM ! Loved him he was brill - I’m not trying to sound like a kiss ass but he was the reason I’ve gone vegan . So much love for people that spread the word ❤️
I haven't met him, only watched him on youtube and I also find him brilliant haha
i’m 13 and i recently became vegan, so happy i did this 💖
hey im so proud of u !!
@@janah5617 thank you babyyy
Mmmmm meat tasty
Yummy hamburger
That's amazing💕
You inspired me to start a channel💞 not very good but I'm working on it! Been vegan for the last three months! Thanks for everything
Tara v awe thank you so much
Victoria Charlotte you rock 💚💚

vegan vic E
This so soooo good. I get so pumped for advocacy and change whenever I see one of your videos Ed
I’m only 12 and you’re account has made me become a pescatarian I can’t be a vegetarian right now because my family still eats meat but I get 20 dollars I buy some food for and I’ve been a pescatarian for for abt 2 weeks now best choice I’ve ever made but when I’m 14 imma become a vegetarian then at 16 a vegan or possibly even earlier
Good luck🍀
Good luck, you’re doing great👍🏻
If you truly wanna be vegan, just tell your parents that this is your choice and if they don't understand tell theme that you want to stop animal cruelty around the world.
And even if you're still young, ask your family how can you be too young to be a criminal but not too young to be able to love animals and fight against their exploitation.
And don't go by doing a lot of transitions such as going vegetarian and then becoming vegan because as you should know being vegetarian has the same results as being a meat eater ---> climate-change/health diseases/animal exploitation and cruelty.
SO JUST GO VEGAN AND DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHERS WILL SAY AND EVEN WHAT YOUR FAMILY THINK !! JUST DO IT !!
@@rayaxmerza I'd like to disagree with you, my friend. Each one of us is different and we all have our differences. Some of us can switch to veganism in a night, but most people need to take things on their pace.
It may be hard for her and her family to balance their diets. I agree that she should clarify the reasons she wanna become a vegan. Most of the times it's very hard to be the only vegan in a meat eating family. I'm a vegan as well but i began as flexitarian, then vegetarian and ended up vegan only after i moved out of my house because i had the same problem with her.
And yes, being pescatarian/vegetarian isn't the best thing for the planet but it's still way better than being a meat eater.
I believe that instead of crushing down each other's efforts, we should all support the new vegans and the one's who are slowly transitioning to it.💚🌱
@@eliana8877 Yeah you're right. The important is that at the end the person goes vegan and of course we have to support each other, GO VEGAN 💚 !!
Thank you so much for all you do. I became Vegan 4 years ago and I have only one regret. I wish I was Vegan from birth. At least, I wish I became Vegan sooner. My husband was hesitant since he was the biggest steak lover I knew. But with eating an amazing Vegan dishes (now whole foods plant based), we felt better, lost weight, discover new foods, recipes...WE ARE THRIVING! We see the animals in a completely different light. I now TRULY LOVE ALL ANIMALS! It took my husband only 4 months when one day he declared: "I AM VEGAN, FOR LIFE, FOR ANIMALS". We are closer than we ever been, we participate in animal activism and educate our families and friends. #veganforanimals
You turned me vegan. I will not stop trying to tell people the truth.
Kylie Harrison as long as your not being annoying
EGP Pupper2 you probably think everything is annoying pal. Rn ur the annoying one
@@Amber-yz5hg am very happy that people like u living in a highly meat consuming country thinks about animals I really appreciate it
Vinny Horapeti I appreciate it❤️🌱
Kylie Harrison nah majority of you vegans are hella annoying
Anyone with a "heart" would break down and/or be severely disturbed by the truth...only a sociopath would not have this reaction....fantastic work, Ed...your activism is greatly appreciated....
You've just diagnosed yourself
Most people who use the internet and TH-cam have already seen this kind footage.
*Vegan For The Animals Ⓥ* so anyone who doesn't react that way is a sociopath? What you said is about equivalent to if one were to say "only a sociopath would have that reaction". Seems pretty flawed to me, but I guess that is typically the vegan mindset, huh?
Exactly!!!!
Exactly Vegan for the animals V
Love you! Your work is fantastic and I think you're the best vegan activist since you're to the point, clear, logical and not intimidating (but assertive when necessary). I believe that's the magic combination for most effective activism
thank you so much!
The first girl is so empathic and self-reflected. Beautiful
Sending lots of love...More power to you...Vegan for good...For the res of my time on this earth...Love from INDIA.
It’s amazing seeing the reactions to the footage- devastation, shock, numbness and disbelief... So thankful you guys are showing the world the truth. Keep it up, we need you. ♥️
