@@petar1499 Well, not exactly. Vegans aren't mentally ill. But they are religious though. It's amazing how they're so arrogant that they feel entitled to claim their religion must be used as a universal basis for morality, under the premise that animals have "rights".
@Icy Craft What do you mean by "Why can’t you leave people alone?" You're the one that replied to my passive comment, I didn't harras you actively. And even if, then I'm sure the uncomfortable feeling that I would cause upon someone by "harrasing" them with just open and honest questions for a rational conversation, is nothing compared to the uncomfortable feeling, unimaginable suffering and needless misery that the innocent animals have to go through their whole life because of that persons dietary lifestyle. That's a red herring. That's not being aware of the gravity of the situation. After all, the only reason the stuff in this video happens is because people want to eat that way. Thus I imagine most vegans try to solve this problem at the root. Namely by convincing the general people, rising awareness, asking to eat healthier, etc. To the second part of your comment: It's absolutely true that this world isn't perfect, that there is lots of injustice, oppression, needless suffering and misery. Most people are aware of that and have no other choice to accept this truth, you're absolutely right. But doing nothing is ignoring the issue. This is precisely why ethical activist work to ask people to live kinder and more caring is so important. After all, I'm sure you would also not want to be exploited, tortured and kept in slavery for your whole life. The thing is that we didn't choose to be born human or one of these animals in the video. You're just lucky, they're just unlucky. But it doesn't need to be that way. And that's the clue. If people from the begining didn't care about moral emergencies and just took everything for graps fatalistically, then we would still live in a world without no laws, no funtional judiciary system, or any kind of progress concearning quality of life at all. So more power to the activists, as far as I'm concerned. Sorry for the long reply, must be a pain to read, but if you wanna be scientifically honest and accurate, theres no way around long texts.
I needed to see this. I was vegan for over a year, but slipped back into vegetarianism because honestly I like the taste of cheese. And I tell myself "it's only cheese, I don't drink milk, I don't eat eggs" but how wrong I am. I fight for animal rights while I am directly one of the reasons they suffer. I am going vegan again. Today is the day I no longer continue to support this suffering
It makes sense that you like cheese, it's got natural chemicals from the mother that releases endorphins in the calf's brain that keeps it coming back for more milk. Except, it's not in the calf... it's in your body. There's no reason why you would, of course, choose cheese if it didn't create this effect and like the taste, so, whenever you're confronted with cheese again just connect the animal to the product. After nearly being vegan for a year, the smell of cheese actually makes me gag and nearly vomit. Just choose some vegan cheese and know you've not hurt an animal in the process this time.
There are some great vegan cheeses out there now. Give them a try! :) My personal favourite is violife but I’ve heard good things about applewood as well. 😁
@@Assassin99584 When people read about or see pictures from the dog meat festivals in China, they resort to hate, racism and would probably even be violent if it happened in their vicinity. These people - even though they are appalled by violence towards dogs - pay for the same torture, murder and abuse of cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys and fish. This contradiction, that only certain species of animals matter, and that we can treat these animals the way we want as long as it's for food, is very much a thing. And that is what carnism is. Carnism is a subset of speciesism. Both carnism and speciesism are notions that the human species can treat other species the way we want because we are superior to them. Carnism is related to food, and speciesism to all exploitation of animals for all purposes.
@@linksusbellgate5619 yeah why should we try to end animal abuse? Why don’t we just start stealing people’s dogs and cats and eat them and breed them. Why don’t we get stray dogs and adopt abandoned pets and just abuse them even more? Bruh how can someone lack so much empathy. That’s mad fucked up.
I realised a year ago that vegetarianism isn’t enough and went vegan. Education is the key - I think most people just don’t realise the full extent of what goes on. Thank you for all the work you do Ed - the animals are lucky to have you as their voice.
Agreed, I also went vegan two years ago after being a vegetarian for 4 years, cause I discovered the truth about diary products. Before, I just didn't know...
Turned 18 recently and i know how you feel, it's just how parents educate their children and i kinda blame them, i mean how can i spend only 18 years and discover the truth and they spend 60 years on this planet and are still ignorant about the truth behind animal products.
Yes I completely agree with this. We can all do activism even just a t- shirt or leaflet drops. But the most effective for me is attending a vigil to see the animals before they go to slaughter and actually attended outreach. 🙏
do it the democratic way, peacefully protest in the streets (preferably a large city or the countrys capital) and hope for the best, let the government decide. if they decline, then do it vladimir lenin style. over throw the gov ern ment
This is just so horrific. And so tragic that billions of normal, decent people around the world don't realise the torture and cruelty that their food choices are directly causing. I only recently went vegan and I shudder to think of what the harm I caused. These videos are so powerful because they simply leave no room for an objective defence of vegetarianism, let alone eating meat. The problem is getting non-vegans to actually watch them and overcome the huge cognitive biases that people entrenched in their attitudes. But that is the work I guess. Thanks for your work Ed.
Brandon Jones Maybe you didn't. I went vegan because the animal agriculture industry is destroying the planet that my kids are going to grow up on. Going vegan is the most effective way to directly reduce your impact on the environment and climate change, as well as depriving the industry of your support. The health benefits were my second reason. I only knew a little about the ethical reasons at first. Now I know more it's as important to me as the environmental reason not to support animal agriculture.
Sorry but you are wrong. People realise and people know all of that. They just dont care or dont want to care. They put there own taste over a life, and thats not even exaggerated.
@Marija I dont understand what your saying. But "push it upon others" is a term, a believe or better a defense stance of meat eaters to switch the attention to the "bad vegans". And i think the current society is far from normal. When i remember correct, the human diet in the early human history was 90% plantbased, so i would say vegans are more normal than the majority of the current "normal" diet plan. And i think that alot of vegans act not like "i come first". I think people who are going vegan for ethical reasons have a better build brain in the "Parietal lobes" area, this area is for empathy. I never use the term good or bad person or human but at the end, they are just bad humans, thats it. 99% of my colleagues are ignorant people who dont even think about any of there actions. But at the end no one cares what we are saying :D, just stay vegan and give people in your personal circle a little hint about what they doing to the planet, animals and so on.
Can't believe I haven't thought or researched any of this sooner. I am Vegan for almost a year now, wish I had my eyes opened to the truth sooner... :(
What a morbidly depressing way to start the day. Thanks for keeping it real though Ed. It feels good to be vegan and know how many lives are being saved because of it.
Good for you. Remember if you fall off the bandwagon, just get back on it. Dont feel disheartened. It took me about a year to transition. Might take you more or might take you less. But dont give up. Hardest part for me was parents. Theyre strict vegetarian and were actually somewhat disappointed when i refused roti with butter on it. Or if i didnt want their mattar paneer. Its was more about their ego and probably inner guilt that my refusing to consume dairy put them in a moral superiority complex. My parents are cult member and always thought that they had moral superiority over others because theyre lacto vegetarian. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@MadManohar mattar paneer is so good but I will try harder and hardest ....I used to be a hard core non veg to rebel against my parents and my IndanNess ...if I give up goat meat ....I think nothing is impossible
@@praketasaxena in my mind in the beginning all i would say is.. I dont need it. Good luck keep moving forward. Dont look back. Also. You can make those dishes with tofu. My favourite is mattar with tofu di burji. Absolutely lovely.
This video is totally horrible and so extremely important to get spread to as many people as possible. Thank you to everyone involved for making it. Let’s help spread it, everyone.
some people that are vegan are extreme, ofc not veganism its self. i watched pierce morgan who was debating with vegans, year old video, he pointed out one vegan had a shotgun and entered into someone elses property. the usual thing a non extreme vegan would do, wouldn't you think?
@@bitizen2311 Of course. Every group has individuals in it that take things too far. The vegan movement is so logical and well intentioned in practice, but of course there are individuals who will spread that message in the worst way. Same with meat eaters. If there's one thing both groups should agree on its that shitty people exist in both groups haha. But people really have to stop generalizing based on their limited interaction with a select few individuals. Its so dumb. Judging thousands of people based on the 5-10 that you know. Absurd.
@@PavelBarber That's just like judging the entire german race because they lived in nazi germany, and still are racially discriminated now. I get you. I still talk to vegans that are nice, I refuse to listen to those who constantly shame me, and I'm one of those people who are put under stress from being shamed a lot. Not only I talk to them, I do ask for tips and stuff, they listened to my problems, the folks over at dominion didn't.
@@bitizen2311 Yeah, again - no point even entertaining the idea that a sub group is one way. Just listen to those who respect you. But also be aware that some will challenge you on your logic and reasoning and you have to be able to have discussion with those with an opposing view, and be open to the fact you could be doing something that isn't right for you. That's why it's important for those delivering a message to be non judgmental. Just have to make sure that we're not morally justifying something through false means. Have to be honest with ourselves and make decisions that align with our core value and beliefs. Then we can truly say we think for ourselves, and we live a life we are proud of. It extends far beyond just nutrition.
I have been vegan for years but this video still made me feel so sick. Becoming vegan was the best decision I ever made and completely changed me as a person
You’ve made some incredible videos lately, Ed. These are well made and easy for people to understand as you present the facts in a timely manner. Good job! Will be sharing this one too on mye fb feed
Petar Jevremovic I used to say I’d never be vegan because I likes cheese too much... then I learned the truth. Just thinking of eating dairy products now makes me sick to my stomach. 🤮
Another heartbreaking but incredibly important video and message - I made the change a while back because of your videos, I only wish I could get everyone I know to watch this but will do my best. Thank you for giving them a voice.
It feels almost wrong to "like" this video because there Is nothing about it that is entertaining to watch, seeing animals suffer so greatly breaks my heart. Ed, you've yet again so clearly informed us all of the horrors of the dairy and egg industry and I thank you so much for being an amazing advocate for Veganism.
I first went vegetarian 5 years ago, with the same thought; that I don't "kill" any animals for my food. Until I learned what happened in the dairy and egg industry :/ Kinda sad that it took me 4 years to completely let go of dairy and egg (egg was the hardest to let go for me somehow, even though I was dairy free most of the time then). Vegan for 1 year now and glad I made the choice!
Honestly That is a Much needed video as I am constantly struggling to make the switch from vegetarianism to going Vegan, Just need to overcome the cultural and traditional aspect of consuming dairy since ages, they say "old habits die hard" , But these changes can be done.
I actually prefer the taste of rice milk over cow milk, and Costco has some amazing vegan mozzarella. 👏 if more people were more open minded to trying new things, im sure there would be much more vegans in the world
I have the same problem. My parents say veganism is to restrictiv and dangerous (I had anorexia) but i don't want cows being murderd just for me drinking milk! Let me know if you have convinced your parents
@@linksusbellgate5619 No.........you *Create a Better World by...............NOT Intentionally and Needlessly Harming Innocent Sentient Individuals* Mandating to love your neighbor is not only morally bankrupt because it's like a Communist Dictate over people's emotions and ergo a draconian, dictatorial imposition of will upon others but it's also manifestly ludicrous to suggest you must love someone you don't.
@@linksusbellgate5619 Veganism =/= a diet. Vegan Living is NOT at all about loving OTHAs (other than human animals)........it's about not infringing on the autonomy of sentient individuals regardless of their species. Veganism is a moral position which simply points out that speciesism is as morally indefensible as racism. In other words Veganism is a principled, logically consistent value system.
Thank you for making this video. I live in India & people turn a blind eye & deaf ear whenever i bring up this topic despite being Hindu & worshipping cows.
Very sad but true video. Grew up a dairy farmer and refused to participate later in life due to all the suffering I witnessed. Became vegan due to my daughter being born, but I still show tears when I see cows being treated that way.
I have been eating everything for 30 years, although i have been thinking before about going vegetarian. To be honest, it thought it would be too hard for me. After the Netflix documentaries I started living vegan. It's been a little over a month now and It's going quite good. However, It's not easy to convince people that you have had a honest change of heart when you are 30 years old. This video helps me a lot sticking to it, thanks!
I don't know what happened with my journey, I was vegan for almost 5 years, and after a sexual assault that I'm still awaiting the trial for, I fell into a depression. One day I just started eating meat again, it's like I was so disconnected from reality that I didn't grasp my beliefs about the whole thing. Which is ironic, watching this now I wonder why I didn't feel closer to veganism morals after everything I had been through. I am proud to say I have been vegetarian for almost a year, and by new years I hope to go vegan again, for the last time. I feel like a vegan, I agree with the morals of it and how important it is to live in your truth (Colleen Patrick-Goudreau is wonderful for guidance in this arena) and I am so glad that there are caring, strong vegans out there like Ed who continue to do what they do for the animals. I am thankful for videos like this, and I do want to be better. It's hard juggling veganism and mental health, I truthfully felt so traumatized the first time I went fully vegan. Here's to living in your truth and giving it 100%!
I appreciate the warning at the beginning Ed. This video is so so important, because the group of people closest to switching to a vegan lifestyle are vegetarians. Imagine how much the movement would change if every vegetarian went vegan. Lets keep it up guys, let's keep speaking up for the voiceless.
@Southy "Early is good for veal." No shit, sherlock? It's practically the definition of "veal". Glad you enjoy the taste of a murdered baby cow, d-bag ...
I dont think there's an ethical argument for vegetarianism, but there is absolutely an argument for vegetarianism as a part of the transition process to veganism. Everyone I know who is vegan, who wasn't raised that way from birth, transitioned and didn't go cold turkey at all, including myself.
Eliminating flesh from your diet is a HUGE change and is far significantly better than continuing to eat meat. We can have a vegetarian world and not kill a single animal for product, its obviously impossible to have meat without murder.
Veggie going Vegan here, just wanted to clear a few things up: In India it differentiates in most state what kind of cattle is killed. Only in the right most states is where cows aren't protected because they are of a different breed than the "religious" ones, so to speak. Killing female cattle is illegal almost all over but it varies where you can kill bulls and calves. Either way, 55% of our milk come from Buffalos and those are the ones that after "completing their purpose" are sent to slaughterhouses, where all the beef or rather "carabeef(buffalo meat)" is exported to different countries and the skin used as leather domestically, hence giving us the "honour" of ranking 2nd place in beef exports for a while now, if not keep on fluctuating between 1st and 5th place. Our "beef ban" just replaced one animal for another, and that doesn't mean that our cows, regardless of our Monopolic Amul Company Milk Industry(Along with Mother Dairy and Go), don't suffer behind closed doors. Few places here where you can get beef. And if you're ever caught getting cow beef beware of the Hindu Cow vigilantes in the upper states, they won't hesitate to kill you, but what's worse is that they may take pleasure in it if you're Muslim. Happy to see Ed applying India in his videos. Just wished that he'd make a video with a sole focus on India, but it'd be hard since very little cruelty information gets out, but definitely not impossible. For example: It is common practice that after killing the buffalo calf for its milk to stuff it's head and body with hay and balm to trick the mother into thinking that the calf is still there and produce milk. Of course the audience, especially from the Indian community, may have backlash, but since when has that ever stopped him before?
This was so brutal I cried soooooo hard for these poor innocent souls😭😭😭😭 been vegan for almost a year. People know this is wrong but they feel powerless. I say if you're awake, ACT LIKE IT! Challenge those around you to do the same! I've noticed since being vegan that when I tell ppl I am, they say things like "oh I don't eat much meat anymore." They question their own moral codes because they too, innately I believe, want to do the right thing for their health and nature. I didn't know that becoming vegan would affect others this way.
I just sent this to a class mate who said: I cAn UnDeRsTaNd VeGeTaRiAnS, bUt BeEiNg VeGaN iS eXtReM. Let’s see what he says Ps: Thanks for ur videos ed, they’re rly helpful
In my experience those who say it are omnis who are starting to understand we don't need meat but since milks and eggs aren't beings the gap they have in their mind to get to understand its cruelty is still a laaate thought to them. (They usually don't even become vegetarian smh.)
@@user-dt3hk7fu8w Whenever i ask my mom why she won't stop eating meat she says she could stop eating meat but not eggs because of proteins, even though she clearly knows protein is in so many other food....I feel like sometimes it's impossible to talk with people if they aren't willing to be more open minded
As a far m manager, the cruelty argument pissed me off. A lot of the evidence ed showed in this video was the exception rather than the rule, and additionally we as farmers try to ensure animal welfare is kept high on priorities.
I've been pescatarian for a few years now. Going off to uni in a few days and was already planning on ditching all animal products once there, but this video has ensured I will be entirely commited. Nothing justifies making so many animals lives sheer and enduring terror.
In a life, where all of us continuously consume products that are made from milk and eggs throughout our lives, it is very difficult to eventually make a shift. Majority of products in supermarkets will have milk or eggs in them: all pastries, cookies, many brands of bread, etc. Vegan options even in the western world are still very scarce. It is just mind gobbling that we all grow up being a part of this cruelty without having any thought of it. It is in fact quite ridiculous that we let ourselves go like this, normalising this inhumane cruelty and systematically shutting our eyes off the reality.
Yep that's why people get defensive more about veganism. They jump to the conclusion they can't have the birthday cake at a party for example, instead of focusing on how to make a cake without milk and eggs. The food at the supermarket that can be made without milk/eggs comes to everyone's mind...because they sneak them in (sad lol)
And this mindset needs to change and it will change when people go out of their way to buy vegan products. I fully agree that when I first became vegan everyone in my family was upset for a short few weeks as we had to make minor adjustments as I was already vegetarian but soon after my wife went vegan, it was so easy. She looked up for all the replacement products and in fact we learnt a lot more on how to prepare healthy plant based meals through various YT channels Avant- Garde by Gaz Oakley PickUpLimes NutritionFacts.Org I am so glad I made the transition.
I personally would change the title so this is easier to find, this is such a good video - great at getting the message across to someone doesn't know.
How can we, as a species, do this and call ourselves civilised? Cognitive dissonance on overdrive! Education is the key to changing behaviour. Thanks Ed.
Your videos are absolutely beautifully made! You're making people think, change, and ultimately you're reducing the number of animals who would otherwise be exploited. Bravo!
I often question veganism and if it's the best thing I can do for other beings. There are still many issues I need to research and address but I'm convinced I could never deliberately support harm like this again.
I have a sibling who once said this to me: "Veganism is extreme, there needs to be a balance". It's really not nice to hear all the same stuff everyday from a programmed society but it really hurts when your family is in the same boat... Thanks Ed, hope your videos reach everyone someday 🙏
We need to find people all around the world to translate and voice over this video in their own language! If this video would be German I could show this my family and they would understand much more!
I am currently vegetarian, and had plans of going vegan by the end of the year. But I have recently watched a lot of your and other people's videos about veganism, and this one was really the last straw. I am definitely going vegan as soon as my fridge is emptied of eggs and dairy 🌱
I am a vegan for 2 months now ,I became vegan overnight. But I was having second thoughts on it cause I want to be a chef and it extremly hard to pass the school cause they want you to make nonvegan food .I needed this ,I needed to remember all this suffering. Thank you always ,for inspiring. Now I am sure that I can be a vegan chef and make delicious food for all of us 🌿✌🏽
try to think about it this way. If future chef's like you dont make the action to demand the allowance of vegan chef's we will always be stuck in this circle. I dont know much about it but are there any schools that provide courses for vegan chef's or even allow vegans into ones that make 'stereotypical' meals? I am so thankful for you being vegan and hopefully aspiring many with the amazing food u will provide!
@@emilie3657 you are right ,some of us have to be the first vegan chefs, I had never heard any school that gives vegan chef courses 😢 ,and I will probably have to do nonvegan foods to pass exams at school ,but you guys inspired me to do it . It might be hard ,but it will worth it ,we should fight! Have a nice day ⛅🍃
Hi, do you have any sources for practices in the dairy industry in India ? I am often asked about this and have no credible info to back my arguments with.
I'm no international dairy expert, but there's just certain practices that are universal. Impregnating the cow, removing the baby, then killing the cow after milk production. No one is going to keep these animals as companions, it's a business at the end of the day. Cows can live up to 25 years in nature. That's a lot of food, water, land use and medical care if they weren't killed. So I'm sure in Indian, what you just watched in this video, happens just the same there my friend.
Extreme is the way humans treat cows for their own needs. As difficult as it is to watch, thank you Earthling Ed for opening our eyes to the cruelty that goes on.
My mom has a few chickens, so she gets eggs. My grampa has a few goats on his farm, so he gets milk occasionally. I don't see anything wrong with eating unfertilized eggs and excess milk, if they are obtained in this way. But so few of us have the will or the means to live outside cities, so we rely on everything to be shipped in from factories elsewhere. Btw, my mom's hens lay eggs almost daily, more during mating season, and they are healthy and have been laying eggs for many years. She mixes their poop with the compost to fertilize her home garden. My grampa lets the goats clear his fields for new planting - they eat everything down to the roots. He tries not to let them breed too quickly (so he separates the males and females sometimes), but otherwise lets them live their natural lifespans.
Vegetarianism is still better than nothing for those that never will go vegan, and for some people vegetarianism is a great steppingstone towards veganism. I am vegetarian myself, and basically through that I got my whole family to eat almost only vegetarian food and have greatly cut down on dairy. But they never would have gotten there, or anywhere, if the expectation was veganism. I do see that veganism is the best way, but it's unrealistic to expect from most people. I will go vegan when I'm out of school and have my own place tho.
My vegetarian roommates got so offended when I denied ordering pizza and resisting food that contain butter and ghee. Earlier when I was a non veg and go out to eat with them, I would always eat veg food so as to not them make feel uncomfortable....but these bitches were asking me to eat chicken and dairy items. I hate that inconsiderate behaviour when I never asked them to eat nonveg, who the hell are they to criticize me and make fun of me for being vegan. I told them that remaining of my life I'll live as a vegan. 🙏🙏🙏
Yeah Ive noticed that with vegetarians from indian backgrounds. They have this moral superiority complex. It kills them to eat with vegans. My family (except my wife and children) are all like that. They try and mock me as well.
You really think cutting up a cucumber is the same as killing an innocent animal. Plants do not have a central nervous system which means they do not feel pain. They don’t have a brain and they don’t scream with agony like animals do when being killed which is evidence that they suffer and therefore feel pain and therefore like you do, have a central nervous system.
@Anthony Mercado i have to disagree. How can someone be "vegetarian for the animals" and then use them to get their eggs and dairy? It makes no sense. It's like saying i eat free range meat and eggs bc i care about the animals (which is something ppl actually believe). I was a vegetarian for 2 years and in no way am I shaming vegetarians. I just wish all vegetarians' end goal was to become vegan. And you're so close! I hope u make the switch soon:)
Thank you Ed, for fighting against the indoctrinating animal industries. There are countless people around the world who still think animal products are a necessity. Thank you for helping people see the truth.
I have wanted to do my research on animal rights for a while. In March my college took us to a company in another city to learn about the chicken industry. It was supposedly the happiest place in the country for chickens. They sold you that the chickens were all pure white and the knew how to lower their stress levels and stuff. But then the field portion came and those were not happy chickens. They don’t kill them there, their job is to raise them and transport them so they are killed in another place. However, a lot of them were dead. They said they used antibiotics as if it was super normal (my parents are doctor, so I knew that is not ok). The chickens were filthy, some were dead and were still with the other chickens. I didn’t know if they were covered in dirt or feces and it horrified me how could they so close to their own waste. It was honestly awful. This was supposed to be the place with the best standards. It was supposed to be that place that prefers quality over quantity, which is why the land was no huge. I couldn’t even image what about the other farmers that put quantity over everything. How were those chickens living? In that place they told us that the chickens were very calm all the time cause they were happy. But they were not happy while being put in a truck as if they were potatoes. They were scared and wanted to get away. That experience made me re-evaluate my meat eating lifestyle. But I tried to make excuses for months. All the excuses of the book. I really took like five months because on top of everything veganism is not a big thing in Peru and there is not availability of vegan options. Plus everyone in my family is a meat eater, so I was scared of what they may say. The relationship between veganism and extremism was too deep. I didn’t want to be ostracised or be seen as an extremist. I was honestly scared of my family saying that I was being dumb. Four months ago I decided to go vegetarian since it was seen as the most “normal” way to care about the animals. But I still had that little bug telling me that something was not right and it wasn’t enough. Two months ago I decided to go vegan. I watched the What the health documentary and I also watched Cowspiracy. I made it a family experience because I really wanted my family to understand why I was going vegan. I wanted to end the documentaries to finally tell them what my decision was. While we were watching, I couldn’t even see the part where they kill a duck. So my commitment was reinforced, if couldn’t even watch it on a documentary then why was it ok for me to keep eating animals? To my surprise, when the documentaries ended and I finally told them I was going vegan, my family was on board with the idea. They didn’t know about the dairy industry until that day and decided to support me completely. They didn’t go full vegan as I did, but they replaced milk with plant based alternatives, reduced considerably the amount of meat for family meals (since I couldn’t eat it) and stock the pantry with all sorts of veggies, legumes, grains and seeds. They do eat cheese on snacks or egg on their own breakfast, but they are actively looking for viable vegan alternatives so they can change that. If I regret anything then it’s probably taking too long to take the decision. Even my parents understand now that being vegetarian is not enough, and while it may take them more time than me (they have over 50 years of habits to break down) I really makes time happy that they are enjoying the vegan food and actively making an effort to change their habits.

@@petar1499 Well, not exactly. Vegans aren't mentally ill. But they are religious though. It's amazing how they're so arrogant that they feel entitled to claim their religion must be used as a universal basis for morality, under the premise that animals have "rights".
What's even more tragic is that the people who need to see this won't see it.
@Icy Craft What do you mean by "Why can’t you leave people alone?" You're the one that replied to my passive comment, I didn't harras you actively. And even if, then I'm sure the uncomfortable feeling that I would cause upon someone by "harrasing" them with just open and honest questions for a rational conversation, is nothing compared to the uncomfortable feeling, unimaginable suffering and needless misery that the innocent animals have to go through their whole life because of that persons dietary lifestyle. That's a red herring. That's not being aware of the gravity of the situation. After all, the only reason the stuff in this video happens is because people want to eat that way. Thus I imagine most vegans try to solve this problem at the root. Namely by convincing the general people, rising awareness, asking to eat healthier, etc.
To the second part of your comment: It's absolutely true that this world isn't perfect, that there is lots of injustice, oppression, needless suffering and misery. Most people are aware of that and have no other choice to accept this truth, you're absolutely right. But doing nothing is ignoring the issue. This is precisely why ethical activist work to ask people to live kinder and more caring is so important. After all, I'm sure you would also not want to be exploited, tortured and kept in slavery for your whole life. The thing is that we didn't choose to be born human or one of these animals in the video. You're just lucky, they're just unlucky. But it doesn't need to be that way. And that's the clue. If people from the begining didn't care about moral emergencies and just took everything for graps fatalistically, then we would still live in a world without no laws, no funtional judiciary system, or any kind of progress concearning quality of life at all. So more power to the activists, as far as I'm concerned.
Sorry for the long reply, must be a pain to read, but if you wanna be scientifically honest and accurate, theres no way around long texts.
Obviously one person who needed to see this has seen it 🙌🏻
I shared it in my WhatsApp status hoping that at least some people will click on it 🤷🏼♀️
@Icy Craft "why can't you leave people alone?"
How about you leave the animals alone?
Its years and years of brain washing. Its unbelievable when you realise.
GiGa Bangs typical anti vegan. Instead of addressing the FACTS you deflect and never ever actually face the evil you are defending.
I needed to see this. I was vegan for over a year, but slipped back into vegetarianism because honestly I like the taste of cheese. And I tell myself "it's only cheese, I don't drink milk, I don't eat eggs" but how wrong I am. I fight for animal rights while I am directly one of the reasons they suffer. I am going vegan again. Today is the day I no longer continue to support this suffering
Same boo
It makes sense that you like cheese, it's got natural chemicals from the mother that releases endorphins in the calf's brain that keeps it coming back for more milk. Except, it's not in the calf... it's in your body. There's no reason why you would, of course, choose cheese if it didn't create this effect and like the taste, so, whenever you're confronted with cheese again just connect the animal to the product. After nearly being vegan for a year, the smell of cheese actually makes me gag and nearly vomit. Just choose some vegan cheese and know you've not hurt an animal in the process this time.
There are some great vegan cheeses out there now. Give them a try! :) My personal favourite is violife but I’ve heard good things about applewood as well. 😁
I am from India and we have a huge chai / latte culture and i slip back to vegetarianism as well ....would appreciate any help i can get
Well done!
I'm already vegan. And yet you made my cry.
Never going back.

Animal agriculture is extreme not veganism.
Yeah!
TRUE
Chandi Patah carnism isn’t a real thing tho
Yess absolutely
@@Assassin99584 When people read about or see pictures from the dog meat festivals in China, they resort to hate, racism and would probably even be violent if it happened in their vicinity. These people - even though they are appalled by violence towards dogs - pay for the same torture, murder and abuse of cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys and fish.
This contradiction, that only certain species of animals matter, and that we can treat these animals the way we want as long as it's for food, is very much a thing. And that is what carnism is.
Carnism is a subset of speciesism.
Both carnism and speciesism are notions that the human species can treat other species the way we want because we are superior to them. Carnism is related to food, and speciesism to all exploitation of animals for all purposes.
Being vegan is not extreme, thats just the way they want people to think so they continue to buy their products.
Absolutely! Dairy, egg and meat industry are extreme.
So true, go vegan and live cruelty free.

How did I live the first 17 years of my life oblivious to this? It's simple. If the truth weren't hidden, such a disgusting industry couldn't exist.
Turned 18 recently and i know how you feel, it's just how parents educate their children and i kinda blame them, i mean how can i spend only 18 years and discover the truth and they spend 60 years on this planet and are still ignorant about the truth behind animal products.
İ am 13 and what is embarrassing is my father is a vegan and i didnt research about animal agriculture until a few months back.
Veganism is the least we can do. Next step is activism!
Yes I completely agree with this. We can all do activism even just a t- shirt or leaflet drops. But the most effective for me is attending a vigil to see the animals before they go to slaughter and actually attended outreach. 🙏
There are many different street activism groups anyone can join or discuss veganism with non vegans in comment sections!
Marin Mandic absolutely should have put online outreach too.
do it the democratic way, peacefully protest in the streets (preferably a large city or the countrys capital)

This is just so horrific. And so tragic that billions of normal, decent people around the world don't realise the torture and cruelty that their food choices are directly causing. I only recently went vegan and I shudder to think of what the harm I caused.
These videos are so powerful because they simply leave no room for an objective defence of vegetarianism, let alone eating meat.
The problem is getting non-vegans to actually watch them and overcome the huge cognitive biases that people entrenched in their attitudes. But that is the work I guess.
Thanks for your work Ed.
Stopped being vegan a week ago, started end of july. Will not be going vegan again. I did it for the same reason you did....
same, I became vegan on sep 2nd. I am thinking of my 19 (almost 20) years of life where I ate meat and all that. The damage I must have cost.
Brandon Jones
Maybe you didn't. I went vegan because the animal agriculture industry is destroying the planet that my kids are going to grow up on. Going vegan is the most effective way to directly reduce your impact on the environment and climate change, as well as depriving the industry of your support.
The health benefits were my second reason.
I only knew a little about the ethical reasons at first. Now I know more it's as important to me as the environmental reason not to support animal agriculture.
Sorry but you are wrong. People realise and people know all of that. They just dont care or dont want to care. They put there own taste over a life, and thats not even exaggerated.
@Marija I dont understand what your saying. But "push it upon others" is a term, a believe or better a defense stance of meat eaters to switch the attention to the "bad vegans". And i think the current society is far from normal. When i remember correct, the human diet in the early human history was 90% plantbased, so i would say vegans are more normal than the majority of the current "normal" diet plan. And i think that alot of vegans act not like "i come first". I think people who are going vegan for ethical reasons have a better build brain in the "Parietal lobes" area, this area is for empathy. I never use the term good or bad person or human but at the end, they are just bad humans, thats it. 99% of my colleagues are ignorant people who dont even think about any of there actions. But at the end no one cares what we are saying :D, just stay vegan and give people in your personal circle a little hint about what they doing to the planet, animals and so on.
Can't believe I haven't thought or researched any of this sooner. I am Vegan for almost a year now, wish I had my eyes opened to the truth sooner... :(

Good for you. Remember if you fall off the bandwagon, just get back on it. Dont feel disheartened. It took me about a year to transition. Might take you more or might take you less. But dont give up.
Hardest part for me was parents. Theyre strict vegetarian and were actually somewhat disappointed when i refused roti with butter on it. Or if i didnt want their mattar paneer. Its was more about their ego and probably inner guilt that my refusing to consume dairy put them in a moral superiority complex. My parents are cult member and always thought that they had moral superiority over others because theyre lacto vegetarian. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is heartbreaking, what have we as human beings evolved into.

Not much considering what we are on the precipice of evolving beyond :)
This video is totally horrible and so extremely important to get spread to as many people as possible. Thank you to everyone involved for making it. Let’s help spread it, everyone.
It's really hard to watch
If someone watches this video and calls veganism extreme, there is something seriously wrong with them.
some people that are vegan are extreme, ofc not veganism its self. i watched pierce morgan who was debating with vegans, year old video, he pointed out one vegan had a shotgun and entered into someone elses property. the usual thing a non extreme vegan would do, wouldn't you think?
@@bitizen2311 Of course. Every group has individuals in it that take things too far. The vegan movement is so logical and well intentioned in practice, but of course there are individuals who will spread that message in the worst way. Same with meat eaters. If there's one thing both groups should agree on its that shitty people exist in both groups haha. But people really have to stop generalizing based on their limited interaction with a select few individuals. Its so dumb. Judging thousands of people based on the 5-10 that you know. Absurd.
@@PavelBarber That's just like judging the entire german race because they lived in nazi germany, and still are racially discriminated now. I get you. I still talk to vegans that are nice, I refuse to listen to those who constantly shame me, and I'm one of those people who are put under stress from being shamed a lot. Not only I talk to them, I do ask for tips and stuff, they listened to my problems, the folks over at dominion didn't.
@@bitizen2311 Yeah, again - no point even entertaining the idea that a sub group is one way. Just listen to those who respect you. But also be aware that some will challenge you on your logic and reasoning and you have to be able to have discussion with those with an opposing view, and be open to the fact you could be doing something that isn't right for you. That's why it's important for those delivering a message to be non judgmental. Just have to make sure that we're not morally justifying something through false means. Have to be honest with ourselves and make decisions that align with our core value and beliefs. Then we can truly say we think for ourselves, and we live a life we are proud of. It extends far beyond just nutrition.
Pavel Barber no, eating meat is natural

I first went vegetarian 5 years ago, with the same thought; that I don't "kill" any animals for my food. Until I learned what happened in the dairy and egg industry :/ Kinda sad that it took me 4 years to completely let go of dairy and egg (egg was the hardest to let go for me somehow, even though I was dairy free most of the time then). Vegan for 1 year now and glad I made the choice!
congrats!
@@anu.3663 Thank you!
Honestly That is a Much needed video as I am constantly struggling to make the switch from vegetarianism to going Vegan, Just need to overcome the cultural and traditional aspect of consuming dairy since ages, they say "old habits die hard" , But these changes can be done.
There are various tasty vegan alternatives for milk, cheese and eggs today. Using animals for that is not necessary. Thanks for the content. 👍
I actually prefer the taste of rice milk over cow milk, and Costco has some amazing vegan mozzarella. 👏 if more people were more open minded to trying new things, im sure there would be much more vegans in the world

Replying for the algorithm
Exactly
I don't know what happened with my journey, I was vegan for almost 5 years, and after a sexual assault that I'm still awaiting the trial for, I fell into a depression. One day I just started eating meat again, it's like I was so disconnected from reality that I didn't grasp my beliefs about the whole thing. Which is ironic, watching this now I wonder why I didn't feel closer to veganism morals after everything I had been through. I am proud to say I have been vegetarian for almost a year, and by new years I hope to go vegan again, for the last time. I feel like a vegan, I agree with the morals of it and how important it is to live in your truth (Colleen Patrick-Goudreau is wonderful for guidance in this arena) and I am so glad that there are caring, strong vegans out there like Ed who continue to do what they do for the animals. I am thankful for videos like this, and I do want to be better. It's hard juggling veganism and mental health, I truthfully felt so traumatized the first time I went fully vegan. Here's to living in your truth and giving it 100%!
More power to you ❤️
I appreciate the warning at the beginning Ed. This video is so so important, because the group of people closest to switching to a vegan lifestyle are vegetarians. Imagine how much the movement would change if every vegetarian went vegan. Lets keep it up guys, let's keep speaking up for the voiceless.

I dont think there's an ethical argument for vegetarianism, but there is absolutely an argument for vegetarianism as a part of the transition process to veganism. Everyone I know who is vegan, who wasn't raised that way from birth, transitioned and didn't go cold turkey at all, including myself.
Eliminating flesh from your diet is a HUGE change and is far significantly better than continuing to eat meat. We can have a vegetarian world and not kill a single animal for product, its obviously impossible to have meat without murder.
❤️❤️ so important for so many vegetarians to hear
you haven't even watched the video yet lmao
I've been a vegetarian for 8 years now, and this really motivates me to go further.
And non vegans think that eating plant based is extreme...
I hope this video goes viral in India. Here ppl consume so much milk and don't know the cruelty involved
I have been a vegetarian for many years.. I am now a vegan, thanks to you. Thank you !!
Heartbreaking, why is it so hard for people to see! 🥺😓😭
Veggie going Vegan here, just wanted to clear a few things up: In India it differentiates in most state what kind of cattle is killed. Only in the right most states is where cows aren't protected because they are of a different breed than the "religious" ones, so to speak. Killing female cattle is illegal almost all over but it varies where you can kill bulls and calves. Either way, 55% of our milk come from Buffalos and those are the ones that after "completing their purpose" are sent to slaughterhouses, where all the beef or rather "carabeef(buffalo meat)" is exported to different countries and the skin used as leather domestically, hence giving us the "honour" of ranking 2nd place in beef exports for a while now, if not keep on fluctuating between 1st and 5th place. Our "beef ban" just replaced one animal for another, and that doesn't mean that our cows, regardless of our Monopolic Amul Company Milk Industry(Along with Mother Dairy and Go), don't suffer behind closed doors. Few places here where you can get beef. And if you're ever caught getting cow beef beware of the Hindu Cow vigilantes in the upper states, they won't hesitate to kill you, but what's worse is that they may take pleasure in it if you're Muslim. Happy to see Ed applying India in his videos. Just wished that he'd make a video with a sole focus on India, but it'd be hard since very little cruelty information gets out, but definitely not impossible. For example: It is common practice that after killing the buffalo calf for its milk to stuff it's head and body with hay and balm to trick the mother into thinking that the calf is still there and produce milk. Of course the audience, especially from the Indian community, may have backlash, but since when has that ever stopped him before?
This was so brutal I cried soooooo hard for these poor innocent souls😭😭😭😭 been vegan for almost a year. People know this is wrong but they feel powerless. I say if you're awake, ACT LIKE IT! Challenge those around you to do the same! I've noticed since being vegan that when I tell ppl I am, they say things like "oh I don't eat much meat anymore." They question their own moral codes because they too, innately I believe, want to do the right thing for their health and nature. I didn't know that becoming vegan would affect others this way.
I've been vegetarian for 9 years I think it's time to go vegan 🥺

Well, nothing😂 Pby he knows by himself, that he doesn’t do the „right“ thing
In my experience those who say it are omnis who are starting to understand we don't need meat but since milks and eggs aren't beings the gap they have in their mind to get to understand its cruelty is still a laaate thought to them.
(They usually don't even become vegetarian smh.)
@@user-dt3hk7fu8w Whenever i ask my mom why she won't stop eating meat she says she could stop eating meat but not eggs because of proteins, even though she clearly knows protein is in so many other food....I feel like sometimes it's impossible to talk with people if they aren't willing to be more open minded
As a far m manager, the cruelty argument pissed me off. A lot of the evidence ed showed in this video was the exception rather than the rule, and additionally we as farmers try to ensure animal welfare is kept high on priorities.
I get this comment all the time. It's so frustrating. Thanks Ed and all the Surge team. Great video again.

Nothing could be more extreme than basing your morality on the actions of cavemen and wild animals.

I've been pescatarian for a few years now. Going off to uni in a few days and was already planning on ditching all animal products once there, but this video has ensured I will be entirely commited. Nothing justifies making so many animals lives sheer and enduring terror.

That was emotionally a very tough watch :(
I cried so hard dude.. I had to stop
You made me go vegan a few months ago and I'm proud of it ✊🏻🍀 Keep up the good work Ed
In a life, where all of us continuously consume products that are made from milk and eggs throughout our lives, it is very difficult to eventually make a shift. Majority of products in supermarkets will have milk or eggs in them: all pastries, cookies, many brands of bread, etc. Vegan options even in the western world are still very scarce. It is just mind gobbling that we all grow up being a part of this cruelty without having any thought of it. It is in fact quite ridiculous that we let ourselves go like this, normalising this inhumane cruelty and systematically shutting our eyes off the reality.
Yep that's why people get defensive more about veganism. They jump to the conclusion they can't have the birthday cake at a party for example, instead of focusing on how to make a cake without milk and eggs. The food at the supermarket that can be made without milk/eggs comes to everyone's mind...because they sneak them in (sad lol)
And this mindset needs to change and it will change when people go out of their way to buy vegan products. I fully agree that when I first became vegan everyone in my family was upset for a short few weeks as we had to make minor adjustments as I was already vegetarian but soon after my wife went vegan, it was so easy. She looked up for all the replacement products and in fact we learnt a lot more on how to prepare healthy plant based meals through various YT channels

Let's keep it rolling here, reply to this.
Yeah let's give this more visibility
Your videos are absolutely beautifully made! You're making people think, change, and ultimately you're reducing the number of animals who would otherwise be exploited. Bravo!
As always, fantastic video. Thank you, Ed 🌱
I often question veganism and if it's the best thing I can do for other beings. There are still many issues I need to research and address but I'm convinced I could never deliberately support harm like this again.
This is so important. Keep it up.

I have a sibling who once said this to me: "Veganism is extreme, there needs to be a balance". It's really not nice to hear all the same stuff everyday from a programmed society but it really hurts when your family is in the same boat... Thanks Ed, hope your videos reach everyone someday 🙏
We need to find people all around the world to translate and voice over this video in their own language! If this video would be German I could show this my family and they would understand much more!
You should do it for German!
I don't know how this works but if it's somehow possible I'd like to write the German subtitles for the video.
I initially started my vegan journey to be healthy, but with more research and thanks to you, my reason is also becoming ethical. Thank you.
How could people do this... Poor innocent babies 😞
Thank you for your videos. I'm on a transition, this journey is not always super easy but my why is stronger.
I am currently vegetarian, and had plans of going vegan by the end of the year. But I have recently watched a lot of your and other people's videos about veganism, and this one was really the last straw. I am definitely going vegan as soon as my fridge is emptied of eggs and dairy 🌱
You CAN throw away eggs and milk. There is no need wait.
@@ponnamy I don't want to waste food. The most important thing is that I don't pour any more money into the industry.
@@ponnamy that's wasteful.
If you need any help with your transition please tell me
@@ponnamy Veganism is about not creating a demand for animal exploitation.
Heard all of this so many times... Still breaks my heart every time
I am a vegan for 2 months now ,I became vegan overnight. But I was having second thoughts on it cause I want to be a chef and it extremly hard to pass the school cause they want you to make nonvegan food .I needed this ,I needed to remember all this suffering. Thank you always ,for inspiring. Now I am sure that I can be a vegan chef and make delicious food for all of us 🌿✌🏽
Be strong, dont give up and think about all the starving clients you can provide your nutritious food 😁
try to think about it this way. If future chef's like you dont make the action to demand the allowance of vegan chef's we will always be stuck in this circle. I dont know much about it but are there any schools that provide courses for vegan chef's or even allow vegans into ones that make 'stereotypical' meals? I am so thankful for you being vegan and hopefully aspiring many with the amazing food u will provide!
We need more vegan chefs. Don't be put off. If you have the motivation, make it your life's work👍🌱
@@joaocassis yes ,maybe I can open a vegan restaurant ,and you guys can be my first customer 😅⛅ have nice day
@@emilie3657 you are right ,some of us have to be the first vegan chefs, I had never heard any school that gives vegan chef courses 😢 ,and I will probably have to do nonvegan foods to pass exams at school ,but you guys inspired me to do it . It might be hard ,but it will worth it ,we should fight! Have a nice day ⛅🍃
Hi, do you have any sources for practices in the dairy industry in India ? I am often asked about this and have no credible info to back my arguments with.
I'm no international dairy expert, but there's just certain practices that are universal. Impregnating the cow, removing the baby, then killing the cow after milk production. No one is going to keep these animals as companions, it's a business at the end of the day. Cows can live up to 25 years in nature. That's a lot of food, water, land use and medical care if they weren't killed. So I'm sure in Indian, what you just watched in this video, happens just the same there my friend.
Thank you Ed!
Extreme is the way humans treat cows for their own needs. As difficult as it is to watch, thank you Earthling Ed for opening our eyes to the cruelty that goes on.
Damned man. You're making me as a vegetarian feel so bad where previously I was thinking I was doing pretty good morally speaking.
Lol, he’s pretty good at opening your eyes.
If you feel guilty, it just shows that you care ❤️
Buy milk and eggs from certain local farms where they don't pump in hormones or kill calves
My mom has a few chickens, so she gets eggs. My grampa has a few goats on his farm, so he gets milk occasionally. I don't see anything wrong with eating unfertilized eggs and excess milk, if they are obtained in this way. But so few of us have the will or the means to live outside cities, so we rely on everything to be shipped in from factories elsewhere.
Btw, my mom's hens lay eggs almost daily, more during mating season, and they are healthy and have been laying eggs for many years. She mixes their poop with the compost to fertilize her home garden.
My grampa lets the goats clear his fields for new planting - they eat everything down to the roots. He tries not to let them breed too quickly (so he separates the males and females sometimes), but otherwise lets them live their natural lifespans.
Everyone needs to see this! People need to stop Turing a blind eye!
Vegetarianism is still better than nothing for those that never will go vegan, and for some people vegetarianism is a great steppingstone towards veganism. I am vegetarian myself, and basically through that I got my whole family to eat almost only vegetarian food and have greatly cut down on dairy. But they never would have gotten there, or anywhere, if the expectation was veganism. I do see that veganism is the best way, but it's unrealistic to expect from most people. I will go vegan when I'm out of school and have my own place tho.
My god ist that brutal. This Channel make me go from vegetarian to vegan....
My vegetarian roommates got so offended when I denied ordering pizza and resisting food that contain butter and ghee.
Earlier when I was a non veg and go out to eat with them, I would always eat veg food so as to not them make feel uncomfortable....but these bitches were asking me to eat chicken and dairy items.
I hate that inconsiderate behaviour when I never asked them to eat nonveg, who the hell are they to criticize me and make fun of me for being vegan.
I told them that remaining of my life I'll live as a vegan. 🙏🙏🙏
Yeah Ive noticed that with vegetarians from indian backgrounds. They have this moral superiority complex. It kills them to eat with vegans. My family (except my wife and children) are all like that. They try and mock me as well.
As a vegan, I always find out something new I didn’t know from Ed’s and other videos. Shocking, no other words.
I'm eating a steak now
Well you’re ingesting the stress of the animals, so good luck.
@@evatheveganteen9771 plants are stressed too when they are beeing killed, so good luck with that
You really think cutting up a cucumber is the same as killing an innocent animal. Plants do not have a central nervous system which means they do not feel pain. They don’t have a brain and they don’t scream with agony like animals do when being killed which is evidence that they suffer and therefore feel pain and therefore like you do, have a central nervous system.
Why are you trolling vegans anyway, that’s so sad.
Thank you... again ❤️🌱🐮🐥
This argument has been going on for decades. Vegetarians know what they do is wrong.
Thanks Ed. 💪🌱✌️💚
I went from vegetarian to vegan 2 weeks ago. Seeing this shows me how blind I was. Thank you Ed. 🌱
'Even in India' being the key take away from the video, ladies and gentlemen.
How can any vegetarian proudly state they're vegetarian after seeing this?
@Anthony Mercado i have to disagree. How can someone be "vegetarian for the animals" and then use them to get their eggs and dairy? It makes no sense. It's like saying i eat free range meat and eggs bc i care about the animals (which is something ppl actually believe).
I was a vegetarian for 2 years and in no way am I shaming vegetarians. I just wish all vegetarians' end goal was to become vegan.
And you're so close! I hope u make the switch soon:)
@Anthony Mercado check out Ed's video on backyard hens. Owning hens and eating their eggs is not a justifiable act.
Very useful information, thanks
Thank you Ed, for fighting against the indoctrinating animal industries. There are countless people around the world who still think animal products are a necessity. Thank you for helping people see the truth.
I'm a man and this made me cry.
love you
I have wanted to do my research on animal rights for a while. In March my college took us to a company in another city to learn about the chicken industry. It was supposedly the happiest place in the country for chickens. They sold you that the chickens were all pure white and the knew how to lower their stress levels and stuff. But then the field portion came and those were not happy chickens. They don’t kill them there, their job is to raise them and transport them so they are killed in another place. However, a lot of them were dead. They said they used antibiotics as if it was super normal (my parents are doctor, so I knew that is not ok). The chickens were filthy, some were dead and were still with the other chickens. I didn’t know if they were covered in dirt or feces and it horrified me how could they so close to their own waste. It was honestly awful. This was supposed to be the place with the best standards. It was supposed to be that place that prefers quality over quantity, which is why the land was no huge. I couldn’t even image what about the other farmers that put quantity over everything. How were those chickens living? In that place they told us that the chickens were very calm all the time cause they were happy. But they were not happy while being put in a truck as if they were potatoes. They were scared and wanted to get away. That experience made me re-evaluate my meat eating lifestyle. But I tried to make excuses for months. All the excuses of the book. I really took like five months because on top of everything veganism is not a big thing in Peru and there is not availability of vegan options. Plus everyone in my family is a meat eater, so I was scared of what they may say. The relationship between veganism and extremism was too deep. I didn’t want to be ostracised or be seen as an extremist. I was honestly scared of my family saying that I was being dumb.
Four months ago I decided to go vegetarian since it was seen as the most “normal” way to care about the animals. But I still had that little bug telling me that something was not right and it wasn’t enough. Two months ago I decided to go vegan. I watched the What the health documentary and I also watched Cowspiracy. I made it a family experience because I really wanted my family to understand why I was going vegan. I wanted to end the documentaries to finally tell them what my decision was. While we were watching, I couldn’t even see the part where they kill a duck. So my commitment was reinforced, if couldn’t even watch it on a documentary then why was it ok for me to keep eating animals? To my surprise, when the documentaries ended and I finally told them I was going vegan, my family was on board with the idea. They didn’t know about the dairy industry until that day and decided to support me completely. They didn’t go full vegan as I did, but they replaced milk with plant based alternatives, reduced considerably the amount of meat for family meals (since I couldn’t eat it) and stock the pantry with all sorts of veggies, legumes, grains and seeds. They do eat cheese on snacks or egg on their own breakfast, but they are actively looking for viable vegan alternatives so they can change that.
If I regret anything then it’s probably taking too long to take the decision. Even my parents understand now that being vegetarian is not enough, and while it may take them more time than me (they have over 50 years of habits to break down) I really makes time happy that they are enjoying the vegan food and actively making an effort to change their habits.
