    ‘We are not above nature, we are part of nature’ - brilliantly put, sadly so many people see animals as property.

      Not just animals but children too. Children and pets are seen as little trinkets that people need to make their lives better because that's the go-to solution for one's own shitty existence. This is why some people and domestic animals are assholes because they weren't conceived with the intention of raising them right.

      Agreed. You can tell a lot about someone by how they treat an animal or a selfless/defenceless being. As more access to different food becomes more widely available worldwide and the middle class continues to grow through Asia they will slowly move in that direction. Although it is slow. Their empathy is pretty F'kd in general.

    • @mnb9162
      @mnb9162 4 года назад +8

      @LEO2001 You cant compare how some animals treats other animals and use that as a standard for humans to live by. We have far developed intelligence and are not under anywhere near the stresses that come with generations of the constant circle of pure survival as a focus. What we are talking about is pure human selfish indulgence. Unecessary over production/entertainment or just pure cruelty with no motive. Although the one biggest reason or excuse is just pure ignorance and 'out of sight, out of mind'. The industries are hidden and the product is nicely packaged and it all functions on hoping the masses remain lazy, non-equisitive and fundemantally have a degree of selfishness.

    • @mnb9162
      @mnb9162 4 года назад +7

      @LEO2001 Well thats the issue. You just said 'As long as animals dont suffer'. Now you have downgraded that to 'As long as you dont hurt anybodys rights'. So however way you slice it, you advocate animal cruelty because your own selfishness (to make you happyl is more important. Would you therefore have no issue if a being which was more advanced than you tortured you for indulgent eating? As you believe in selfishness for their Happiness I guess you wouldnt really beable to argue against them torturing you. Fair game.

    • @Dan_Tasty
      @Dan_Tasty 4 года назад +6

      LEO2001 I just want to make sure we understand each other’s perspective here, your first comment says you won’t stop eating animals as long as they don’t suffer?
      The animal rights movement’s entire goal is to demonstrate that how they are already suffering, and that suffering is an intrinsic part of animal agriculture as we know it today.
      You also stated that you believe in personal freedom and individuality as long as you don’t hurt anybody’s rights. This is something I absolutely agree with, however I also believe that due to the traits we share with animals (sentience, subjective experience, capacity to feel pain and suffer, relationships and family networks) they deserve fundamental rights to autonomy and to not be harmed by us.
      If animal activism is done right, it’s not there to tell you what to do, it’s there to show you the exploitation and violence that happens to put animal products on the shelves and to hope that you care about animal suffering to share the belief that what’s happening in these industries is wrong.
      If you do feel the way you’ve expressed regarding not wanting animals to suffer, urge you to look further into the animal rights movement and see from their perspective, or at the very least the animals perspective.

    People lash out at atheists and vegans because they don’t like having their reality or comfort challenged, and this fear of change and cognitive dissonance is so widespread that it’s created stereotypes about both groups that end up being heard and absorbed by people before their actual message is heard.
    I remember growing up and being told to about atheists as angry disruptive men. As a kid in primary school I sung songs poking fun at vegetarians and looked at the kid who brought a salad for lunch as ‘the other’. I’d formed prejudices before I’d even asked them ‘why’ as individuals, and the only reason I ever found out was because of activism and conversation creating a spark that lead to investigation.
    We need to be taught alternative viewpoints, or at least taught to fight cognitive dissonance and fear, rather than the challenge, as the enemy. If we fear the challenge we never grow

    • @AlfredTheBrave
      @AlfredTheBrave 4 года назад +4

      As a Christian I feel like we only lash at atheists because there is a tendency for many of them to disrespect our beliefs and insult us. I was an atheist for a very long time and I was certainly guilty of mocking others for their beliefs and treating them as if they were stupid or didnt know what they were talking about. my respect for religious people was non existent back then, and this is the problem. people like who I used to be are the cause for people lashing out at atheism.

    • @Dan_Tasty
      @Dan_Tasty 4 года назад

      WOLVES WWFC1887 Having been on both sides, is it easier for you to understand why an atheist would manifest anger towards christians, and do you have empathy for those who simply don’t understand your way of life?
      I think it goes both ways from a knowledge perspective. People raised in religion have a skewed view of what it means to be atheist, but the same is true of people raised agnostic or atheist. It tends to be a vocal minority that represents certain groups, and i think what Ricky and Russel were touching on about dogma being the issue is very true.

    • @Dan_Tasty
      @Dan_Tasty 4 года назад +6

      LEO2001 I wasn’t suggesting you have to be both, I was just comparing my personal experiences with indoctrination regarding both.
      There are a lot of decisions that were made for us in our early lives (not to blame the parents, it’s just a fact of life) and It should be made easier by society and our education systems to self-assess whether or not they align with our personal morals as adults.
      Isn’t it weird that (in the modern developed world where we don’t have to) society just assumes we’d like to kill and eat corpses? Regardless of what your answer is as an adult, it’s still valid that the assumption shouldn’t be made, or at least there should be a robust part of our education system that informs people they have a choice and the consequences of their choice.

      respect for animals must go further than not eating them..... it is about a balance in which ecological diversity can thrive. If you really want to look after amimals, don't wear or use petrochemical plastic, don't catch planes or drive cars, don't eat soybeans (as massive soybean monocultures are also responsible for deforestation) and grow your own food. Leather is better for the planet and the animals which live on it than vinyl.

      Ms Bramble It’s true, indigenous cultures have great respect for animals. That’s not what’s happening in factory farms, and we know that Covid and other diseases are the result of animal exploitation. Animal agriculture is also a huge contributor to the climate crisis. We do not need to continue to exploit nature, we do not need to perpetuate the great extermination, in fact it’s killing us to do so. I believe the respectful thing to do is to become plant-based and stop the forced breeding and subsequent murder of 70 billion land animals every year. you can check out my RUclips channel at green vegan grandma.ruclips.net/channel/UCOyLCj-6Z3c2NzyrUaagQEw?view_as=subscriber

      Ms Bramble The massive GMO soy bean plantations are fed to animals. 1/3 of the landmass of the earth is used to grow food for animals for consumption and to house snd slaughter them. We can easily feed the world using a portion of that land mass when people just eat plants directly.And I agree, in addition to being vegan, which is about not wearing or exploiting animals for anything including entertainment, I ride a bike or a bus, I don’t ride in airplanes, I live a simple minimalist lifestyle. It’s spiritually very satisfying. Good karma too.

      Twat
      The word twat is widely used as a derogatory epithet, especially in British English, referring to a person considered obnoxious or stupid. It is also used informally as a verb in British English to mean "to hit or punch a person". In British English and Commonwealth English, it is pronounced to rhyme with that, or sometimes, to rhyme with hot.Wikipedia More recently it is a reference to the female genitalia. A twat could thereby be an object of great attraction. Similarly: Get Fd could be responded to as: Yes please.

    It’s not about a specific religious belief, and I am more comfortable using the word “soul” because the word “spirit” is often associated with religion or ghosts.
    Make sense to anyone out there? Russell... Ricky.... you’re brilliant!

    When you deeply love someone from that space that is beyond attachment to certain projections or desires, when you love someone just deeply, totally, completely, without any games that the mind or emotions play, then that love remains eternal in the heavens forever, and that is what pulls you back to remembering that love.

    • @medicalinterest9091
      @medicalinterest9091 4 года назад +1

      Yes Tera. Consider that love comes through us all the time. Dogs feel love until humans or other animals cause them to fear what comes back. Humans have a mind that can choose to consider what behavior shows love. A narrow definition creates the false concept of being able to fall in and out of love.

      @sidthesloth6864 4 года назад

      @LEO2001 Killing an animal for sensory pleasure, in a world where that is not only unnecessary but inconvenient, equates killing one for fun. As a sidenote, dogs taste just as nice as cows and humans, but your perception of one being expendable depends on the culture you were brought up in.

    • @sidthesloth6864
      @sidthesloth6864 4 года назад +1

      @LEO2001 I have been much happier overall since becoming vegan, but you couldn't have known that so don't worry. What worries me is the 'I don't give a fuck' attitude, because that, as shown throughout history, is what allows cruelty to exist. It is so easy for us to turn away from things that don't hurt us, situations in which we are not the victim. But what is so beautiful and so very human is our ability and desire to understand another's situation. We can live without causing pain to anyone, and in doing so can help the planet and our own bodies - and we are drawn to that. Love will out.

      Many people complain about these events to their friends over a burger in the pub. I wish they would drop the speciesism and be kind to every kind. I know many vegan Spanish activists desperately trying to stop these bull fights. This is not Spains fault. It's more the tourists who pay for it.

    I don’t understand how people think it’s ok to force pigs into gas chambers thrashing and screaming - it’s just as bad as some video of someone punching a dog, worse in fact (that’s not saying the dog videos are ok - stay appalled at that just extend your compassion beyond pets because that’s arbitrary). The only things that matter are capacity to suffer and is it necessary for your survival. For most people there’s no excuse to be ordering people to breed and kill pigs with your money at a supermarket. That’s an active decision- they will breed more to kill if you buy. Let’s just stop.

  • @Sukijopa
    @Sukijopa 2 года назад +3

    I love animals, spent my life fighting for them. On the subject of God, I learned there is a higher power through my own experiences, but religion is man-made, as Ricky says. I think that those who really want to have a "God" experience can ask for one, and then forget about it and let it surprise you down the road. That's what happened to me. And when the most amazing miracle of my life occurred (complete with supernatural things happening), it involved a dog. But that wasn't the end. After that, many more miracles happened, including my estranged sister (hadn't seen her in 9 years and didn't know where she was) coming to me in a dream to let me know "I'm leaving because no one here loves me," and was murdered a few days later.

    The first time I heard Russell Brand talk seriously, I immediately realised that there was a sensitive, intelligent human being looking for the best for all of us. And also, it was the first time that I’d heard how I feel expressed in the mainstream media. I then had arguments with people, friends, who had an image of him, that fed in to his previous life and their preconceived ideas of value in life.
    But in all actuality, he is extremely accurate in his observation. And as far as I am concerned, he pulls a little short of the changes required. He points to the problems accurately, but I’m not sure how solid he is about the next step. Agree 100% with all he says, but then when I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop, it doesn’t quite happen. This is not a criticism but an observation of how the mind can’t answer its own questions. The question is being asked to the questioner and that will only supply an answer that is already there. And in this interview, it’s the same for both, as articulate and smart as they are.
