So cool! The police officer obviously had to do his job but you could really see how he and Ed connected after Ed knew he was vegan😉 I couldn't quite understand what Ed said to him though. Does anyone know?
Bryan Espinoza such a good moment when you find a fellow vegan in public haha, one time me and my friend walked past a stall of vegans in my city centre and one guy went to talk to us and we were both like “we are vegan!!!” and he was like “awesome!!” such a connection hehe
I'm a Muslim and I've become vegan after watching All these videos. Thanks for always remaining calm, logical and kind when debating and thanks for educating me Ed! Plus ...its not so expensive to be vegan ! Surprising fact !
That's amazing! Are you still vegan? My friend who is also Muslim was interested in why I am vegan, and I don't know a lot about the Muslim religion but she said it would be against her religion to go vegan because the Qur'an states that sacrificing animals is necessary? Could you maybe help me out here?
The Ethical Marshmallow it’s confirmation bias. You could go a long period of time without meeting a vegan but when you finally do, you are convinced that it is proof of the rise of veganism, while disregarding the large number of examples that do not correlate with your pre existing bias. Read thinking fast and slow by Daniel kahnemann.
@@brockcoleman109 it is gruesome. Our world is like dark dungeon where everyone is sent to slaughterhouse. In our other incarnations we were killed too.
It's so hard to watch the video of those animals, knowing they were being driven to their deaths. They look so scared and there's nothing they can do :(
God, I don't know how in the hell you do this. Your patience and your heart strength to see these animals at their most desperate and frightened state but bear witness and then get up and to it again and again, you are a true warrior for the animals. Loved your interview with TVC. Thank you for your strength and dedication to these precious beings.xx
Thank you, Ed. I have been a vegetarian for longer than you have been alive but only recently become vegan thanks to you and other activists. I became vegetarian about 45 years ago and was a bit of an oddity at school and faced the same sort of arguments and taunts that you face now when you share your message. I am guilty of being complacent and ignoring the truth about the dairy and egg industry, so thank you again for opening my eyes.
Joey Carbstrong Ed have you ever seen a sheeps throat cut ? In real life Are they resisting or submissive ? Bible answers this question as well ! The bible has so many answers.
iReveal-Precious enforcing immoral laws is immoral. Like if you opposed slavery but facilitated slave auctions and caught runaway slaves, that's a state of psychosis.
Zelda totally. like all vegans should be full time activists and shouldn't ever do a job that puts them in conflict with their morals. So no vegan police offixers, vegan doctors (bcos they may have to treat non vegan patients), no vegan politicians because meat isn't illegal....great idea, I'm sure change will come around really soon. In fact, let's create a vegan island where we can all sit and talk about veganism all day. Or maybe we should engage in regular life and try and affect change around us as part of the system? Just a thought.
Yeah, having a cop on their side to protect both sides instead of attacking either side. Ed has repeatedly stated, that laws will never be ahead of the people, so supply and demand are the only ways.
I imagine police officers have a particularly difficult time with their ethics when it gets challenged. They are someone who has taken the identity of someone who prevents wrong-doings to a higher level than others.
Vegan NonDuality Some people still see cops as the "good guys", but come on... Cops take an oath to enforce the law. That is their job. Not being good guys, or heroes. Just enforcing the law. Many laws are horribly unjust, even evil. Therefore, logically, all cops are evil. Unless they intentionally dont do their job. In which case they are bad cops, and probably wont have the job for long anyways.
@@vii6429 Many "adults" aren't acting like they're grown up. Look at the comment section of every vegan video. Every single discussion turns into non-vegans saying: "I don't care about the consequences, I want it because I want it" That's literally a mindset of a preschool child.
@@NolanZewariligon i defo know that. I have been 'arguing' with quite a few non vegans in the comments section recently and most of them either ignored me when my argument was too strong and they couldn't contradict me or they said that. Unbelievable.
well done ed, great questions to the police officer who seemed a decent fella. Well done to all the activists who went with you too. This stuff shouldn't be happening today and I'm hopeful and have great confidence that with the growth in veganism and activism that we will be able to end it in our lifetimes.
I find myself regularly coming back to this video just to hear Ed’s “my man”+giggle. I don’t know why, it really struck me in the most positive way possible and always acts like a little pick me up ! 😊😊😊
Fair play to him for even having the discussion. I think he knows the answer to all those questions and he knows the moral argument against it as well he just didn't want to be drawn into the debate too much, but still, at least he talked.
@@ChickkPeaBbygOrl I think people who do meditation are mostly vegetarians or vegans. Just like Yoga and kundalini awakening. It all develops wisdom which only very few people have.
An interesting thought that the sign on the gate says 'You are being watched', but it works both ways now. With these vigils the world can watch the reality of these places, or some of it at least. Real, living animals arrive, and their lives are taken there. Somehow it's still 'normal'.
I asked these questions to a co worker and she got really offended. To keep peace at work I ended up apologizing to her and that made me feel so depressed that I went home crying. I felt like I was betraying my beliefs by having to apologize.
Sonia Rivera I asked these questions to my partner.... He was so dismissive, I was holding back the tears. It's horrible, he's supposed to be an animal lover 😢
Sonia Rivera I know that feeling. I’m very loud when it comes to veganism and some friends don’t take it lightly. I never apologize but I FEEL AWFUL. I feel like apologizing would fix everything...
although the police officer is dodging the questions and not answering... he is right about taking time to contemplate these moral questions. Even though the vegan arguments are quite instinctive... It's still very important to Contemplate and take time. So you gotta allow him that. Great job Ed
I think one of the most interesting thing about these vigils & street activism is it's being documented. At some point in time, once at least factory farms are closed forever and the majority are vegan they can go back and look at these videos in repulse & disgust. But at one point this senselessness will STOP!

That's not the case in France, Police are really cocky, aggressive and sometimes very vulgar and people take that violence from authority because they are armed and we're armless and vulnerable. Police in France is very powerful don't think all European country will go "batshit crazy with riot just to protest police brutality" because you can die from that. A lot of young people die from Police (not as much as in the USA of course but still) in Europe just for standing for their right (Remy Fraisse) or for not being the good color on a good day in the wrong place.

Hey Ed! I've been a vegan for 17 years and have been greatly inspired recently by the kind of activism you and Joey Carbstrong are doing. Would love to get involved in this kind of street activism. I'm in Boston. Do you know anyone in Boston that does this styles of activism that you could connect me with?
I love the way you talk to the people, how you make them understand or at least make them think about it, which is a huge progress. Im from Chile, and I've been thinking about going out to the streets and talk to people just like you do. I would love if you could give some advice on how to start the conversation, and how to react at some bad reactions. I would really appreciate. Thanks for all you do!!
This was our very first vigil, - was so emotional but glad we came, - we plan to come along to others too to document the journey and help spread the word. Will be uploading our vlog of the day soon - If anyone else wants to get involved check out The Save Movement, x
Great work as always! Loved the interview with the policeman, you are so good at speaking to people, making them reach the vegan conclusion themselves. Those babies in the truck just broke my heart
I’ve never understood people that say they couldn’t kill the animal but eat them?? When I was Omni I was a hunter and I skinned and prepared animals. I just always figured you shouldn’t eat one if you couldn’t do the job yourself, you know? I feel like it’s cowardly to pay someone else to like that.
Fantastic reactions from all except the first who I think may have other issues making it more difficult to follow a debate. I think the farmer looked tired and depressed and I wouldn't underestimate the impact your presence is having on farmers at the slaughterhouse gates. Reawakening an innate compassion. He was struggling. Also, wonder if police would respond to "your right to throw your fist ends at my nose" as food for thought.
That is such a great job, with respect, softness, he really listens and the way he brings his interlocutor to THINK is amazing. It makes me want to do it myself, and become an activist too...
Thank you for ALL you do! I'm a senior vegan for over a year and a half now. It's hard to watch these videos, however they need to be shared for the truth to be known.
I have anxiety and sometimes think about the worst ways of being tortured. I have these morbid thoughts of being locked in a luxurious hotel room and force fed steak and lobster.
Yes there is vegan cat food jesus. All non essential amino acids can be synthesized in a lab. How do you think you can get creatine and taurine supplements?
Amelia Russell Sweetheart, don't let anyone talk you out of honoring the needs of your pets. Do right by your cat's and dog's biological needs. Don't impose your ideology onto them. That's hypocritical. Cats are obligate carnivores and need meat. Dogs are omnivores, but to force them to eat your diet is selfish. So if you're feeding them a diet suitable for their biology, you're doing nothing wrong. The folks at Farm Sanctuary even told me so (and they're all vegan). You can try a vegan diet on them, but *do so at your own risk* . Male cats, in particular, are *extremely* high risk on a vegan diet, but the choice is yours, of course. I'm just warning you, because some pets do well on vegan diets, and some have died and/or have gotten incredibly sick. You really would have to monitor them and take them to the vet more often, and if their health starts to suffer, then what? To me, it's not worth the risk, and putting a beloved pet in jeopardy due to your ideology is *very unvegan* , imo. Something to think about, ok? 😊 xx
My God it so painful to see the animals. EVERYONE PLEASE PLEASE SUPPORT ED ON PATREON. He's such an incredible activist, with big ideas, imagine what he will achieve with the RIGHT amount of money behind him! Please support him even £1 or £2.. You get to see patreon only videos and really keep up with what he's upto. So much love and respect for you Ed 💚
I saw a pic of lambs all tied up together with their arms in chainsaw, omg they all looked like cute house cats. So much innocence in their eyes. I cannot get that image out of my head.
Honestly it would be so cool if you submitted this stuff into film fests (idk if you do or not I just started watching you) because your work is so beautifully shot and it would get the message out even more
I have a lot of respect for law enforcement officers like that first guy... His posture was very laid back/relaxed.... Not trying to intimidate. Politely engaged in dialogue. Need more like him!
When hearing that first guy saying he'd kick a dog in the face.... it's like that viral poster - sometimes someone just needs a high five.....in the face.... with a chair.
When he agrees it’s “an unconscious decision” is perhaps the most important part of that conversation to me as it shows that these people are clearly missing information when they decide that meat is a good lifestyle choice.
Really appreciated the male policeman. He was honest about his reasons and didn‘t try to talk himself out of the situation. I think these are the kinds of conversations that can be very fruitful, no condescending speeches, just honest questions.
If the policeman thinks that people are entitled to different opinions and that each opinion is right, then what about the thief whose opinion is that it's okay to steal? Hmmm.... And when questioned about whether he would arrest you if you were standing on the street about to cut a lamb's throat, he said he would if it was illegal but possibly wouldnt if it wasnt illegal - so would he stand their scratching his head, I thought cops were supposed to know the law? How has he not got an opinion on whether it's right or wrong to kill living beings?.... A very brainwashed, conditioned human being who has been trained not to think for himself. Thank you for trying to wake him up Ed 💚
Cause stealing is illegal and to eat meat or not is a choice? Would you be so annoyed if someone who wasn't a police officer was saying the exact same thing?
getalifelauren A choice to eat meat/the flesh and body parts of other beings? Where is the animal's right to live? When there is a victim involved choice doesn't come into it. No-one has the right to take the life of another.
Laura Bell I think what he meant by people being entitled to their own opinion is that whether its right or wrong, the person is going to think what they think themselves is right for ex, a person who steals may think its bad but its okay for them because they are entitled to their own opinion even if everyone else doesn't think its okay
Laura Bell thinking stealing is ok, as on opinion, is actually fine. It’s when you go out and steal that it becomes a problem. Let’s be careful not to advocate for thought crime.
Love when you find out the police man is vegan 😂

I also love the police officer's reaction to being "exposed", his serious face just instantly melts into a grin.
You know veganism is growing when one of the people you're talking to just so happens to be vegan. ^^
when one of the police officers is vegan! ^^
It just happened to be that he met a vegan who works as a policeman. How does that show that it's growing?
bob john because how often has that happened? I just happened to be an ex-cop and I didn't know any cops that were vegans.... still don't.
Bc most people keep their veganism to themselves, since the second you open your mouth without someone having asked you get huge flack for it

Yeah, it's bloody horrendous.
Just because it's a tradition doesn't mean it's right. Best argument for Veganism
Luluu Morris Clearly, the longevity of something says absolutely nothing about the morality of it.
Exactly.
Murder and rape is as old as humanity. That doesn't justify it.
A good argument for a lot of things. Traditions aren’t intrinsically valuable.

they uphold laws rather than prevent wrong-doing. Not always the same thing :-)
Holly A technically thats what they do but from their subjective perspective, many of them identify as people preventing wrong doings imo
There were police slave catching patrols historically. If your concept of morality is legality, then it's really meaningless.

I think the farmer looked tired and depressed and I wouldn't underestimate the impact your presence is having on farmers at the slaughterhouse gates. Reawakening an innate compassion. He was struggling.
Also, wonder if police would respond to "your right to throw your fist ends at my nose" as food for thought.
That is such a great job, with respect, softness, he really listens and the way he brings his interlocutor to THINK is amazing.
It makes me want to do it myself, and become an activist too...
I just discovered your channel and I love what you do, as well as the way you do it. You're a true inspiration!
The vegan police officer. 😍😍😍
8:24 to 8:50 made me laugh so much
Thank you for ALL you do! I'm a senior vegan for over a year and a half now. It's hard to watch these videos, however they need to be shared for the truth to be known.
Thank you for all you do, the word is getting out there. 🙏🏻
Love watching these vids eating a nice vegan burger thinking I don't contribute to murder 🙌🙌💪🏻
I have anxiety and sometimes think about the worst ways of being tortured. I have these morbid thoughts of being locked in a luxurious hotel room and force fed steak and lobster.
what a terrible torture! for you and the killed animals
😂😂😂sounds horribly tasty
Honestly being vegan just makes me feel better internally
Can you do a video about the ethical dilemma of feeding cats and dogs?
Amelia Russell there is vegan cat and dog food...
Conscious Conscience not cat no they are carnivores and should never be denied meat also they are part of the food chain we no longer are
Yes there is vegan cat food jesus. All non essential amino acids can be synthesized in a lab. How do you think you can get creatine and taurine supplements?
Amelia Russell Sweetheart, don't let anyone talk you out of honoring the needs of your pets. Do right by your cat's and dog's biological needs. Don't impose your ideology onto them. That's hypocritical. Cats are obligate carnivores and need meat. Dogs are omnivores, but to force them to eat your diet is selfish. So if you're feeding them a diet suitable for their biology, you're doing nothing wrong. The folks at Farm Sanctuary even told me so (and they're all vegan). You can try a vegan diet on them, but *do so at your own risk* . Male cats, in particular, are *extremely* high risk on a vegan diet, but the choice is yours, of course. I'm just warning you, because some pets do well on vegan diets, and some have died and/or have gotten incredibly sick. You really would have to monitor them and take them to the vet more often, and if their health starts to suffer, then what? To me, it's not worth the risk, and putting a beloved pet in jeopardy due to your ideology is *very unvegan* , imo. Something to think about, ok? 😊 xx
My God it so painful to see the animals. EVERYONE PLEASE PLEASE SUPPORT ED ON PATREON. He's such an incredible activist, with big ideas, imagine what he will achieve with the RIGHT amount of money behind him! Please support him even £1 or £2.. You get to see patreon only videos and really keep up with what he's upto. So much love and respect for you Ed 💚
“If a dog came up to me I’d kick it in the face.” Wow. I would have backed away as quickly as I could!!
You can see fear in the animals eyes😥
8:25 is when ed finds out the cop is a vegan.
such sweet creatures. breaking my heart.
I saw a pic of lambs all tied up together with their arms in chainsaw, omg they all looked like cute house cats. So much innocence in their eyes. I cannot get that image out of my head.
the scene with the vegan police officer in the end was so nice to watch! such a sweet ending to the video
Honestly it would be so cool if you submitted this stuff into film fests (idk if you do or not I just started watching you) because your work is so beautifully shot and it would get the message out even more
Thank you for sharing... loved when you found out the cop is vegan "mah man, mah man
You're an inspiration Ed. My heart hurts for these animals.
Thank you for the video Ed
“It’s a moral dilema that a lot of people probably haven’t thought about”. -The officer 👏🏼👏🏼
I have a lot of respect for law enforcement officers like that first guy... His posture was very laid back/relaxed.... Not trying to intimidate. Politely engaged in dialogue. Need more like him!
When hearing that first guy saying he'd kick a dog in the face.... it's like that viral poster - sometimes someone just needs a high five.....in the face....
with a chair.
that was a monster. did you see the way it lurked off?
like the first police man, seems like an honest man.
Another video that leaves me in tears, sad for the animals fear and moved by what you do. Great work Ed and co.
I can't believe that person just said they would kick a dog in the face! WTF
Thank you so much Ed
When he agrees it’s “an unconscious decision” is perhaps the most important part of that conversation to me as it shows that these people are clearly missing information when they decide that meat is a good lifestyle choice.
Really appreciated the male policeman. He was honest about his reasons and didn‘t try to talk himself out of the situation. I think these are the kinds of conversations that can be very fruitful, no condescending speeches, just honest questions.
Props to that first police officer for not trying to put up an argument when h dosent have one!
I’m literally living for Ed finding out the officer is vegan
Good work Ed x
can you tell me what i have to do for the challenge22 situation, i signed up but its juat a facebook page like any other, what do i do,do u know
If the policeman thinks that people are entitled to different opinions and that each opinion is right, then what about the thief whose opinion is that it's okay to steal? Hmmm.... And when questioned about whether he would arrest you if you were standing on the street about to cut a lamb's throat, he said he would if it was illegal but possibly wouldnt if it wasnt illegal - so would he stand their scratching his head, I thought cops were supposed to know the law? How has he not got an opinion on whether it's right or wrong to kill living beings?.... A very brainwashed, conditioned human being who has been trained not to think for himself. Thank you for trying to wake him up Ed 💚
Cause stealing is illegal and to eat meat or not is a choice? Would you be so annoyed if someone who wasn't a police officer was saying the exact same thing?
getalifelauren A choice to eat meat/the flesh and body parts of other beings? Where is the animal's right to live? When there is a victim involved choice doesn't come into it. No-one has the right to take the life of another.
Laura Bell I think what he meant by people being entitled to their own opinion is that whether its right or wrong, the person is going to think what they think themselves is right for ex, a person who steals may think its bad but its okay for them because they are entitled to their own opinion even if everyone else doesn't think its okay
Laura Bell I believe its so morally wrong that many bees are getting killed.
Laura Bell thinking stealing is ok, as on opinion, is actually fine.
It’s when you go out and steal that it becomes a problem.
Let’s be careful not to advocate for thought crime.
Brilliant video, thank you for doing what you do!!
The first person's reaction is completely hilarious when he says "Don't go there"
He can't answer any of these questions because he knows he wouldn't kill an animal
