  • At the 2016 Yulin Dog Meat Protest in London outside of the Chinese Embassy I interview demonstrators asking them if they think that it's hypocritical to protest against eating dog meat if you consume the meat of other animals.

      vegans need to understand while humans dontneed meat to survive we like eatnig it becaue it taste good, same way you buy your clothes, tech and everything you like to buy, you dont worry how many children die making your clothes in china or the amount of deaths behind it now do you, so why should meat eaters give a fuck about animals

      Cen Jake " survival of the fittest" We aren't living in a survival situation, we are living in civilisations with laws and rights and ethics. Every time you eat you have a choice, show animals mercy, or kill animals because you like the way they taste.
      Ultimately you're getting pleasure of the back of an animal's needless suffering and death, "mean ur mind is fked up"

      So you think no one should protest against anything then? Wrong.

Or have you not seen them in action? You need to.

      gisforgary “Manoush” is a term virtually no one has heard of, and you’re throwing it out there like that is one of your racist little games. But I must take this opportunity to apologize for stealing from your culture and painting you as thieves, my bad, just can’t help it, this white skin and Anglo persuasion makes me do those things. And oops, I’m so sorry for inventing slaughterhouses too, damn, I’m a monster. (But you already knew that.)
      That’s crazy thinking on your part. And people were slaughtering animals long before Anglo-Saxons came along, so put the blame where it lies. Or is it only the “houses” that bother you? Open-air slaughter is good?
      FYI, every type of animal tortured and killed by humans is someone different, dogs are dogs, pigs are pigs, etc. And yes, some do have it even worse than others, like dogs in China and elsewhere. Betraying animals who’ve been our loyal friends for eons adds onto the crime, making it even more vicious and the people even more lowdown. That doesn’t mean cows and others aren’t tortured horribly for people’s appetites or that it isn’t just as wrong.
      Speaking up for one at a time doesn’t take any importance away from the others…unlike in your racist world where everything boils down to “white” vs. “non-white” and the latter are all good and blameless, victims of the white devils whom everyone that matters is free to lump together, prejudge and hate. What a nice way to live your life, based in madness.

They are all equally as deserving of love and life, none of them should be killed, and none are superior to the other. In this society it's considered ok to kill cows and pigs and chickens, but in China it's considered ok to kill dogs, and we find that cruel as sickening. We need to do some self reflection and realize that just because it may be ok in our society, killing cows and pigs and chickens is no better.
