The world is overpopulated quit fuckin as much or more contraception use but no people keep havin kids that they can't raise by themselves, so more & more ANIMALS will continue to die!!!!! HUMAN SCUM:-)
There is no difference, just some stupid social fabrication america has created to prevent just from eating healthy meat. Horse meat healthy then cow meat. More omege-3 fatty acids and more iron.
The difference is cultural. Different animals in different cultures are treated differently. A pet is not livestock. Livestock are bred for food, not pets. It's that simple.
I don't eat dog for emotional reasons, but cultural ones. Dogs are pets, not livestock or game.
I tend to have respect for livestock/game because I'm the one that took it from living creature to dinner. I don't buy meat. Turning animals into food isn't easy or fun, but it is part of the cycle of life & death.
@wtds zdravo susjedu:) i totally agree with u on that-that our meat here is much better, but i disagree about horsemeet lool it hate it's taste and smell :) also i feel its such a waste when these animals r so usefull :)
but seriously, its livestock and it was common right up until the car was invented and replaced the horse. alot of people make the personal choice to NOT eat certain animals like pigs but its a personal choice (not going to drag religious bs into it). Also there is a movement of having 'pets' that are edible like pigs or goats....which is weirder. In fact most local laws only differentiate between livestock and pets if it/they are named ie wilbur, gordy, babe, etc.
@LankeeYankee1 ok your saying its ok to eat the horse i agree but the whole pet thing well i see it as if it moves its food id eat anything it i could im saying that because its an animal as well a lion tiger any other predator would do the same and if you eat veges well congrats it was alive to lol but this woman says we r basically a failing society cause we r eating meat but my thing is before these plants that kill the animal ppl had to do it by them selfes just saying
Blame irresponsible back yard breeders and mainstream breeders flooding a failing economy with animals that they cannot take care of or wish to dispose of when they are finished. Stop the overbreeding of animals! The slaughterhouses have become a means to an end and it has its pros and cons.
so tru,i stopped eatin meat roun 10 or so years ago n i notice that most hunters are pretty stubborn/barbaric/moraless...so glad to see ya talkn bout this and i think ur sara palin is way funny lol...i would have to say that our bodies were not meant to eat meat,we blow up,break out,or get internal problems.....
one of the purposes of animals is only for human needs mostly if you think about for thousands of years all kinds of animals have been slaughtered and horses have been used for game and transportation purposes that all lot of them have been killed in rather its from exhaustion or because they had broken leg and were put down because of it no matter what you do or how much you protest against it i will never stop
@JaclynGlenn in fact we r all predators at heart even a vegtable was a living thing at one point the killing of the animals in these plants and machines r good now think if you wanted a hamburger back in the old days you would have to go kill the cow seperate the skin hair and flesh as well to get one i mean if you were starving or somthing and there was a cat or a dog yeah id go eat the thing as i would now if i could meat is meat yes but my menu is high any kind of meat
Okay. why not eat human beings? 3-4 million cats are euthanized, yeah whatever but 3 million americans die each year too, why not eat their meat? you said intelligence shouldn't be a factor, so therefore you're advocating cannibalism??
@UCLAGirl19 I don't advocate eating any meat... hence my being a vegetarian.
But I do view eating meat as disgusting as eating a person... meat is meat. Actually many Asian countries sold human flesh as "pork" and no one knew the difference.
I am not vegetarian but i am horse crazy, and if horse EVER gets in my stomach somebody must have shot me and shoved the meat down my throat because i will NEVER eat horse! In fact, I own a horse. And im not surprised of what president let this happen at all either!
Give a kid an apple and a rabbit, and see what it is gonna eat. I guess that answers the question. You just cant cant make millions of animals suffer through out their lives just to satisfy your tastebuds.The greatest Scientist Einstein said "Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.”
I didn't like your comment on how "you guys are used to eating cats, dogs, dolphins, etc. etc. You're used to eating those things",
Like you're associating all illegal US delicacies with EVERY other foreign country. Horse meat is legal in the Taiwan but dog meat and the slaughter of dogs for meat is completely illegal there.
well you all seem to be drawn in to a mud fight so I'll make this quick and hopefully get out of here intact. IMHO cats and dog should be on the menu simply because millions of years of evolution has evolved human's into omnivores and every time I see an animal I can still care for it but I also rationalize that being created this way I was intended to be this way so I take part in taking meat to sustain my being but I am greatful for what I have taken and know that one day it will be my turn
2:52 I think meat eaters classify both sets of species based on how they feel personally for them. Horses, Dogs, Cats are attracitve, cuddly, exc. People might see chickens as dumb, Cows as dumb, Pigs as fat. Sadly that's the way humans naturally perceive these creatures emotionally, I'm not afraid to admit that.
But that is no way to judge rights. We should be smart enough to overcome childish prejudice and specieism and give all species equal rights.
Thanks for the video, I am defiantly sharing. What you said reminded me of the book "Eating Animals" by Jonathan Safran Foer. If it is just a coincidence, you should DEFIANTLY read it.
No one looks at the big picture! It's not about what we eat and why. The meat and agriculture industry will not be able to sustain the levels of resources used in order to produce food as world populations continue to grow. The future outlook for feeding the world is bleak. Mainly due to soil degradation. Which is caused by deforestation, the over exploitation of fuel wood, overgrazing, agriculture activities, and industrialization. Were all to blame, meat eaters and Vegans alike.
Those people who work at those slaughter houses seem to be be standing in that gray area so are many other who honestly don't care how their food was treated before it got in their bellies. People call this the age of reason. You might be able to guilt a few into this lifestyle but the rest of us need more than just "Animals are people too" red herring arguments to convince us of our "guilt". Generally speaking, people just don't care much if their food had their "human rights" violated or not.
@Groudie101 No, they aren't in a gray area... like you said: they "honestly don't care how their food was treated". Not caring about suffering is not gray at all.
This video isn't about animals being equal to people, it's about animals being equal to animals. I am simply pointing out the hypocrisy feeling sad about the horses who will die while munching on bacon.
@JaclynGlenn I said it before and I'll say it again. Slaughter houses are a matter of morality and morality is subjective. I do hope your equality of animals belief extends to not only the cute and fury but to every worm,roach and mosquito that lives.After all they are animals also.
@Groudie101 People who work in slaughterhouses are just as violated, oppressed & exploited as the nonhumans they're tasked to kill. Most are illegal immigrants & in a desperate situation. Plz research what these occupations do to the individuals mentally and emotionally -AND to the communities infested with slaughterhouses. Crime rates go up, property values decline, etc.
People don't even know they SHOULD care- The reality of the animal is far removed from the "meat". That's indoctrination.

@beaelliott I can confidently say that there are few facts,if any at all, behind your statement; just illogical,emotionally filled rhetoric with an agenda to behind it. In fact that's boarder line conspiracy theory shenanigans.Btw I've been to a slaughter house and have spoken to these "violated" people. They seemed just as normal as me. "They're sick because I say so" is not scientific and I'd advice you to not believe everything you see on the internet.
@Groudie101 Read the 12 year investigation into the lives of these workers in Slaughterhouse by Gail Eisnitz. She personally interviewed hundreds of kill floor employees. They are a sad, miserable bunch. With the highest rate of turnover than any other occupation - They have no coping skills. Also the highest rate of alcoholism, depression and suicide.
@beaelliott No thank you.I can't trust Gail to give me fair,unbiased reporting. Unless you have something from the APA or the UN or the EU or some other relatively CREDIBLE source then no more talk of "studies" or "investigation". Btw there was a study done on 'Depression and Jobs' the Government and Health Mag. Occupations like Teaching,Healthcare practitioners and Social Workers rank among the top 10 most depressing jobs in America .Funny, I didn't see anything about slaughter houses...
@beaelliott No, it doesn't help at all. I make it a habit not to trust studies done by one individual who also has an agenda. I don't believe everything I see,hear or read. Eisnitz has no credibility to anyone with a rational mind
@Groudie101 The study was backed by FSIS with a staff of 9184 people --- Yet you don't want to believe what the outcome was. Poor you --- It's not that you have a rational mind. But a rationalizing one. Hands over your eyes and ears... Singing "la-la-la" lest anyone penetrate your comfy state of denial. So be it - I know many who opt for the ignorance is bliss excuse rather than to opt for awareness and kindness. Your loss my friend. Good bye.
@beaelliott HAHAHAHAHA..I've been having a crappy day so thank you so much for that laugh you've provided me with! I honestly do appreciate it! :D I'm not going to go in circles with you.... thanks again for that joke...I mean comment :)
@Groudie101 Sorry - flippant laughter doesn't constitute proper debate etiquette. You must have something more... We each get approximately 500 characters to prove our point and validate our opinions... Surely you can come up with something legitimate. Something... Anything! I'm allowing you to save face via a coherent and rational response. Or do you want the laughter of a fool to be your final comment?
@Groudie101 A recent study showed that there is a link between slaughterhouses and brutal crime. University of Windsor criminology professor Amy Fitzgerald discovered as the number of slaughterhouse workers in a community increases, the local crime rate also increases: tinyurl(dot)com/2bqyqx6
Two kinds of people work killing animals: Those who love their jobs... And those who hate it. Which would you say should be handling the last moments of a living creature's life?
@Groudie101 If you can't or won't feel nor act upon your empathy there's not many arguments that would sway you. It's all about how selfish you want to be and how much pain, suffering and imprisonment you want to inflict on others in order to keep your lifestyle.
There's a health aspect to it too though - you get rid of all the excess cholosterol from food intake, but you could still manage and "survive" that by just consuming less meat or dairy.
@Anominuz Playing the sympathy card and making meat eaters out to be "evil" heartless people isn't exactly a valid argument. It's red herring propaganda which "herbivores" like you and Mrs.Jaclyn there are skilled at using. You can also keep your perceived "healthy benefits" and pseudo science to yourself. I will not abandon basic science,basic biology, the meat eating culture of my ancestors and REASON for your moral crusade. It's almost like some of you have created some new annoying religion.
@Groudie101 fine, you can pretend to know more about biology than me. I'm sure we will have the same medical degree in 3 years. I don't know what your credentials are, but you might want to check who you are talking to when you bring up science... not wise to go up against a scientist or doctor.
@JaclynGlenn Ooooo I'm scared. Now I'm just totally intimidated. LOL (I really did laugh out loud) I don't need a PhD from an ivory tower to understand or be knowledgeable about very basic facts(emphasis on facts). It's something my HS physics teacher always told our class. In fact you've just lost whatever little credibility you had in my eyes with that statement you just made and the way it was said. I'm guessing that's not the effect you were trying to have on me. Ironic isn't it? :D
@Groudie101 Well it is. You use the same argument about killing humans. You might not think it's evil to kill innocent animals for food but I do. Moral IS reason. Moral is derived from logical principles, which is something you fail to uphold when you sentence some animals to die and some to live based on species, there are no differences between humans and other animals that justifies killing them unnecessarily.
The barbaric religion of cultural meateating kills billions for no good reason.
@Anominuz Oooh..you got me there buddy! You are so right! Excuse me while I got to the confessional and repent for my most unclean, most unjust, barbaric,evil sins like eating meat....
@Groudie101 It isn't eating meat that makes you "barbaric"... it's the way the animals are raised and killed that is the problem. The only way to avoid contributing to the cruelty is to go veg or be very specific on where you get your meat. There is no need to be hateful, vegs are only trying to end/reduce cruelty. I'm sure you can understand that.
1. You don't get to define or tell me what barbarism is.
2. You don't get to define or tell me what cruelty is.
3. You don't get to define or tell me what's right and what's wrong.
"There is no need to be hateful"? What are you talking about? I said no hateful thing to you. I was however very sarcastic but that does not equate to hate.. Ooohh I made a rhyme :D See? O.o
@Groudie101 Stop trolling already. They don't really care if you are right or wrong or if you are perceived as evil, they just care wether or not they get abused and killed. What does it take for you to understand that its wrong, would you still think the same way if it were your friends and family that got slaughtered for a tasty mincemeat pie?
@Anominuz Of course I'd be upset if my family members were turned into meat pies. What kind of question is that?! I see!...you are one of those loons who believe that my life is equal to that of a cow..... You win! I have seen the error of my ways. I was so stupid to not comprehend the fact that animals are people too :D
@Groudie101 Cows are not people, but people are animals. So it is right to kill innocent animals for food as long as it isn't someone you care about, is that a correct assumption of your values?
And no, your life isn't equal to a cow. Judging by your posts here, you would be worth less then a cow, if such a scale would to exist.
@Anominuz Hmmm..Just say I am less than human because I eat meat because we all know that's what you mean.It doesn't surprise me at all that you think I am less than human because I eat meat. Vegans and Vegetarians have long tried to assert their moral superiority of the rest of us. I'm guessing you don't watch much Nat Geo. Even seen a lion rip into a baby Gazelle? Not many things more brutal than that aye? If you people had your way I'm sure you'd force vegetarianism on every living creature.
@Groudie101 It's funny how you can't answer my questions or defend your own morals, even funnier that you try to discourse the discussion when your arguments fail you.
And no, a human can't be less then human unless you use some wierd religious definition of a human being or turn into a cyborg.
Are you suggesting that anyone who wants to ate meat should go out and hunt it for themselves to "save" themselves from their "guilty" conscience which folks like PETA and yourself try to force upon them? That poor chicken that has a soul,a bright future ahead of it, a mother and kids that loved it! Now I feel so guilty..... Your arguments are based on morality and morality is the most subjective thing on this Earth.
@Groudie101 Yes, I am suggesting more hunting. At least hunted animals live a normal life. There is no gray area of morality when it comes to torture.
@JaclynGlenn Hunting is not an answer. The meat industry is just an extension of hunting. Meateating started with hunting and by the years the human population, and also the demand for meat, grew much larger then the wildlife could supply. At the same time the populations of wild animals grew thinner and many extinct.
As an animal I would surely prefer a normal life ending with a bullet then what the meat industry would offer, but they are killed for the same reason and logic.
@Groudie101 Factory farms are no part of nature. I'm not debating whether or not we were built to eat meat, my argument is based on the cruel ways we abuse animals. We way overeat meat and the meat we do eat is obtained in a very cruel way. I cannot simply attribute that to 'nature'... especially when we have so many other options.
@JaclynGlenn Cruelty is very relative and subjective isn't it? If I'm a hunter in some remote forest who has never had contact with civilization and I hunt wild pigs by throwing a spear though its throat and letting it bleed out while it runs away to feed my family is that cruelty? I think your idea of cruelty is killing any other animal whether or not it's in a slaughter house(I could be wrong).A slaughter house is just as unnatural as a condom but it has it's necessity.
@Groudie101 Watch Earthlings... the cruelty you will see there is not subjective. A hunter must hunt survive. Obviously we must do what it takes to survive...
What necessity? To feed the obese people of America? yea, right...
People would steal other people's cat or dog to drive it to the slaughter house and then sell the meat.
Your cat or dog wouldn't be safe outside anymore.
And why people don't eat euthanised cats...is because cows , pigs and horses are slaughtered at a quite young age...and not with an overdose of sleeping product.
AT BEST with a high voltage gun that's put to their head.
In bad cases like in poor countries they bash the head in with a hammer...
@1Nayla1 No, cows are not always slaughtered at a young age. Obviously I'm not suggesting to euthanize, then eat cats/dogs. If it were to be done, they would not be injected with chemicals.
I think it all depends upon the culture or country. I live in the Philippines and eating horses is not frowned upon. The question whether which animal is suitable to be eaten will be a never-ending argument. You did express a lot of valid points, Jaclyn. And I agree with you. We all suffer from a perception problem. But you cannot hold that against those who have been brought up to eat meat. Not everyone is vegetarian. And it's very hard to convert anyone accustomed to eating meat to a vegan.
@chinaeyes22 I do hold it against them. Factory farming and the horrors that animals suffer through isn't information that is hard to come by. People know what is going on and CHOOSE to contribute it. Regardless of culture, they should be a big enough person to see a problem, and change. "Everyone else is doing it" is not an excuse to abuse animals. I ate meat, grew up in a family of meat eaters, don't know anyone personally who is veg and I made the change because it was the right thing to do.
@JaclynGlenn - You're right, Jaclyn. You're absolutely right. "Everyone else is doing it" is definitely NOT an excuse to abuse animals. For you to make that change is an admirable thing to do. It's just going to be hard for 7 billion people to remove a large portion of their diet. A diet that has been with them for over 5 thousand years. But still, I do hope that more people become aware that animals are not only here on earth for human consumption. Excellent vlog, Jaclyn. :-)
Honestly I embrace other cultures and their foods because we all have to eat... So I've tried many cultural foods that some people would think its crazy.... but it's nourishment... So I don't discriminate other meats... except human... that's just wrong.
@HaligonianType1 I do not eat anything with a face, and why you so down on me for that? Must be the meat pissing you off. Peace Love and Blessings to you :)
Americans generally think they have a divine right to determine what's right and wrong, what's good and bad. FACT: A horse is just another animal with meat like a chicken or a cow. You'd be a hypocrite to be against eating houses but not chickens. FACT: People have been eating horses for thousands of years until the Church decided that people shouldn't eat it for some reason. FACT: Horse meat is a staple mean in many great and well developed cultures especially in Europe and Asia.
@JaclynGlenn I'm glad you said "they" are all equal and not "we" are all equal.Although I think you really meant "we". If that's true then what a shame. That's one more lunatic running around discarding real science and embracing pseudo science claiming that humans are naturally herbivorous creatures and that my life is equal a goat or a fish....I'm sorry, I mean "sea kitten"
@Groudie101 To be honest I do value human life more. For example: if given the choice I would save a human life before any other animal. However, I do not think that animal life has no value. I truly believe that they have as much right to be here as anyone else. And just because I favor humans, that in no way translates into me not caring for or respecting other animals. They should have the right to live life in peace without our destructive race terrorizing them.
I agree .... It doesn't make sense to protest horse meat while downing burger king, Bacon, and chicken parmesan.. Why should we only care for horses and not all animals? All animals deserve respect. No animals deserve to be slaughtered alive. If you are going to protest horse meat protest all meat.
@Gtrplyr1 Thanks for the comment, that makes perfect sense. That's why I protest all meat! I would eat a pig no sooner than I would eat a cat. I don't discriminate.
@JaclynGlenn ;) I've been somewhat of a vegetarian for some time now, i still eat dairy though.. Even though this legislation is sad, at least it's making people aware of what the slaughter industry is like.
And look at Europe. Western Europe is by and large more civilized and cultured than North America. There they do not have a problem with horse meat. People link horses in their minds with other affectionate animals such as cats and dogs. When they think of cats and dogs being eaten they think of the cruelty they receive in some parts of the world. (*cough cough* East Asia.**) People are mixing these issues together.
@thefreeflowification All animals should be viewed the same. Don't protest horse meat if you sit there eating cows and pigs... people won't eat a cat or dog, but most say or think nothing about the 3-4 million euthanized each year.
what's next, dolphins? the sad thing is as the human population grows, there will be more animals up on the menu. perception is reality and reality is all types of f'd up. This reminds me of the video you did outside of the McDonalds where you were talking about peoples diets and health in that people should just be more aware of WHAT they are eating. Horse? No thanks. As someone who has worked with horses... no can't do it.
@thraushtins Japan already eats Dolphin meat. The worst part is that the dolphin meat is contamined with high mercury levels and falesly marketed as fish meat.
this is horible news! horses should not be eaten thats just wrong, not that i know of but i think cats and dogs just dont taste as good as pigs or cows, your right about the perception thing but we also think rabbits are cute and are pets, yet ppl still eat them, humans are messed up lol
I couldn't be less of a vegetarian, but I respect your keeping an open mind. Honestly, I'd try horse meat, why not? Same as any other critter I'd eat. And as far as the cat & dog eating...I think folks eat pigs more simply because they taste better, lol.
As a vegan, I do not eat meat, so why would I eat a horse? :) There are too many animal getting abused, and now horses? S.A.D. lifestyle is why we are so obese and sick! :(
@langebrenda As many times as I have said that, I still get the same response: "meat is good for you, it has lots of protein". I don't even feel like explaining when I hear that :(
@langebrenda you do realize without meat, the world would starve. We already have a hard enough time feeding the world population as it is. So what would you suggest? we outlaw the consumption of meat? and let a couple billion people starve? Over the next century, the world is going to be in dire need of food, it is our biggest problem as our population increases. So what would you suggest? stop the whole world from eating meat?
@JaclynGlenn I don't see what that has to do with the fact that if we did not have meat as an option, the world would starve. The vegan "movement" obviously wants one thing, for everyone to stop eating meat.. But the problem is this is NOT possible. You could not sustain everyone without meat. So what is the solution? outlaw meat and let easily over half of the worlds population starve to death within a year? is that what you would suggest? or can we be rational?
@JaclynGlenn No. I am not watching a video when you could simply type your argument and allow me to read it much faster. Cows eat? cool story. I am guessing you somehow want to say that if the cows were not being bred to be eaten, we would have more food to eat? well perhaps, BUT, it would not be enough to feed the entire world. Billions would starve, not to mention the wars that would break out because people would be fighting over food. Type your argument if you have one to make
@toThe9thPower That is not what I meant. I took the time to make these videos. If you don't want to watch, that's cool. This is my last response to you.
@toThe9thPower I did say that I personally do not eat meat, so what the eh! People can eat what ever they want, just hate to see so many die early and who said a couple of billion would starve? When it takes more land to raise one pound of meat (beef) than it does to raise one pound of fruit or veggies about 1 to 10 the 10 being fruits and veggies, you do the math?? :) Have a great day, and remember, I did not say what others should do, just what I do. Peace Love and Blessings :)
An excellent presentation of the real situation. An accurate application of sound reasoning regarding the status of animals. Keep up the good work. Plenty of people appreciate it! Check these speakers at a recent D.C. Conf afsconference org
One Miami woman was near nervous breakdown over horse sadism at a active auction just fifteen minutes west of South Beach, It is run by the Miami Mafia.
People ride horses for transporting back centuries and than we horses Now. What is going wrong with this world. I know people ride cow or bull too. Who care I'm a half vegetarian and seafood person.
i live in Sweden, here in Sweden we eat horses, and we also eat reindeers, and sometimes whales too, yes i think its silly to be upset about this! I wouldnt eat cats or dogs, but i have nothing against eating horse meat, whale meat and reindeer meat, in Sweden we have a tradition and culture of not eating predators, and cats and dogs are predators, also very common pets in this country. However, i respect asians who eats cats and dogs, its their life, their culture, their food
u have a good point i hear u very good but i do eat meat but do understand gunna go get that possim that got hit by a car lol i do understand though !!!
Why are horses different to any other animal? Why is it any more wrong to eat horses than cows or pigs? They're just other animals. If you're going to eat one animal, you should be prepared to eat any. If you want to not eat meat that's fine, but i would have no problem with eating horses at all, and nor should anyone else who eats meat.
1 Billion humans are permanently severely undernourished, and 36 million humans died of starvation in 2010. If you are a vegan and care so much about animal life, then how can you be for systemic unemployment and stealing (profit maximization) of human workers' production, capitalism?
@noprofitmaximierung please give some further research to what would be if we cut back on meat consumption. Do you really think a greater dependence on vegetables would cut back on jobs? People still need to eat... there still need to be farmers. You need crops to feed AND land to keep the animals you eat... imagine what could be done if all of it were used to produce food...
@JaclynGlenn Oh, food production would not affect jobs. There is no need for unemployment is my point. i.e. GM is sitting on more than 5 Billion $ (!) in profits while Detroit has nearly 50% unemployed, literally digging up copper wires for $. The labor done by the workers who produced that profit for the bosses of GM, could be shared by employing more people. That would destroy the 'unemployment or minimum wage labor' threat of capitalism though, which allows capital to extort workers etc.
@JaclynGlenn Another substantial perversity to what it means when the people who actually produce wealth, money capital, is: that when this individual (let's say a) worker, who works an average of 10 hours a day, gets paid $2 a day (like 3 Billion humans btw.) for producing a jacket that sells for 150$ (which goes to the company's profit), and then goes to the bank to get a loan with 7% interest - HE actually Produced THAT capital which his boss put on the bank, which in turn -.
@JaclynGlenn This scenario that i just mentioned (see below), is mostly the cause to why 200,000 Indian farmers and countless others, have commited suicide in the last ten years. Even though the Indian farmers work up to 20 hours a day picking cotton, 830 million Indians get paid less than $0.50 cents a day for their production. And THEN, if you add them having to get a Loan at a bank at interest (which; money is put on the bank by capitalists), it of course drives them into indebtedness which..
@JaclynGlenn ...they cannot repay, therefore making them commit, or attempt suicide, on a massive scale. This also happens in the west, farmer suicides of poverty.
@noprofitmaximierung the production of meat is inefficient. many more mouths could be fed if these lands were converted to produce vegetables, fruit or grain, because just to feed the horses, they much grow a lot of grain to feed those horses. %80 of the corn grown in America is fed to our factory farm cows and pigs, for example. Vegans, by not eating animal products, are hypothetically lessening starvation around the world for this reason, were it not for government subsidies and pop. growth.
@SuperAnimalDrummer couldn't have said it better myself :) The vast majority of plant growth is used as feed for farm animals. That could be used for human consumption instead, and feed many more.
@SuperAnimalDrummer Well, according to the UN World Food Report of 2010 there is enough food being produced to feed 12 Billion humans 2 700 kc a day.The problem is not food production (actually industry is deliberately overproducing for profit) it is that people have no money to feed themselves. As an example, the United States throws out 50% percent of its produced food. Speculation on cereals have made prices increase over 100% for wheat i.e., while production has remained relatively steady...
@noprofitmaximierung The reason the US produces so much food is because of the incentive brought about by government subsidies, which makes our food, in the US, really cheap. They have the incentive to overproduce. Farmers actually produce below cost, and rely on subsidies to even match cost. The whole system is fucked. Eating factory farm meat is entirely unethical and needs to stop, whether it be horse, cow, pig, or chicken. I don't see how any moral person could argue otherwise.
@SuperAnimalDrummer oh they find a way. It is amazing, but most of the time that I bring up factory farming, someone has something to say in support of it. People would rather take it as a personal attack and defend what they are doing so they don't have to change. That is so much easier than seeing how terrible it is and actually making a f*n change.
@JaclynGlenn I agree about factory farming. Not only is it harmful to nature (as in genetically mutated feed and genetically engineered crops etc.), but it is a business for profit and not consumption, as more than 50% of the food produced in the west is thrown out. There is a great documentary film called "We feed the World" on my channel if you are interested.
@noprofitmaximierung Yes, this is due to trophic levels, and inherent in the food chain. If all factory farms were shut down today, and all of that land was used to grow nutritious crops, that amount of land could grow enough food to feed all starving people. That is how much land is used to grow crops for food animals. It is the meat eaters themselves who condemn those around the world to starvation, not vegans. This is not subject to personal belief by meat-eaters, this is an economic truth.

The difference is cultural. Different animals in different cultures are treated differently. A pet is not livestock. Livestock are bred for food, not pets. It's that simple.
I don't eat dog for emotional reasons, but cultural ones. Dogs are pets, not livestock or game.
I tend to have respect for livestock/game because I'm the one that took it from living creature to dinner. I don't buy meat. Turning animals into food isn't easy or fun, but it is part of the cycle of life & death.

oh wow, you drive a Celica?
but seriously, its livestock and it was common right up until the car was invented and replaced the horse. alot of people make the personal choice to NOT eat certain animals like pigs but its a personal choice (not going to drag religious bs into it). Also there is a movement of having 'pets' that are edible like pigs or goats....which is weirder. In fact most local laws only differentiate between livestock and pets if it/they are named ie wilbur, gordy, babe, etc.

2:52 I think meat eaters classify both sets of species based on how they feel personally for them. Horses, Dogs, Cats are attracitve, cuddly, exc. People might see chickens as dumb, Cows as dumb, Pigs as fat. Sadly that's the way humans naturally perceive these creatures emotionally, I'm not afraid to admit that.
But that is no way to judge rights. We should be smart enough to overcome childish prejudice and specieism and give all species equal rights.

No one looks at the big picture! It's not about what we eat and why. The meat and agriculture industry will not be able to sustain the levels of resources used in order to produce food as world populations continue to grow. The future outlook for feeding the world is bleak. Mainly due to soil degradation. Which is caused by deforestation, the over exploitation of fuel wood, overgrazing, agriculture activities, and industrialization. Were all to blame, meat eaters and Vegans alike.

Those people who work at those slaughter houses seem to be be standing in that gray area so are many other who honestly don't care how their food was treated before it got in their bellies. People call this the age of reason. You might be able to guilt a few into this lifestyle but the rest of us need more than just "Animals are people too" red herring arguments to convince us of our "guilt". Generally speaking, people just don't care much if their food had their "human rights" violated or not.

And it's very hard to convert anyone accustomed to eating meat to a vegan.

"Everyone else is doing it" is not an excuse to abuse animals. I ate meat, grew up in a family of meat eaters, don't know anyone personally who is veg and I made the change because it was the right thing to do.

Americans generally think they have a divine right to determine what's right and wrong, what's good and bad. FACT: A horse is just another animal with meat like a chicken or a cow. You'd be a hypocrite to be against eating houses but not chickens. FACT: People have been eating horses for thousands of years until the Church decided that people shouldn't eat it for some reason.

When they think of cats and dogs being eaten they think of the cruelty they receive in some parts of the world. (*cough cough* East Asia.**) People are mixing these issues together.

@thefreeflowification All animals should be viewed the same. Don't protest horse meat if you sit there eating cows and pigs... people won't eat a cat or dog, but most say or think nothing about the 3-4 million euthanized each year.

Comparing small brained horses to large brained dolphins that have proven their intelligence is a bit much.

what's next, dolphins? the sad thing is as the human population grows, there will be more animals up on the menu. perception is reality and reality is all types of f'd up. This reminds me of the video you did outside of the McDonalds where you were talking about peoples diets and health in that people should just be more aware of WHAT they are eating. Horse? No thanks. As someone who has worked with horses... no can't do it.

@thraushtins Japan already eats Dolphin meat. The worst part is that the dolphin meat is contamined with high mercury levels and falesly marketed as fish meat.

I couldn't be less of a vegetarian, but I respect your keeping an open mind. Honestly, I'd try horse meat, why not? Same as any other critter I'd eat. And as far as the cat & dog eating...I think folks eat pigs more simply because they taste better, lol.

As a vegan, I do not eat meat, so why would I eat a horse? :) There are too many animal getting abused, and now horses? S.A.D. lifestyle is why we are so obese and sick! :(

@langebrenda you do realize without meat, the world would starve. We already have a hard enough time feeding the world population as it is. So what would you suggest? we outlaw the consumption of meat? and let a couple billion people starve? Over the next century, the world is going to be in dire need of food, it is our biggest problem as our population increases. So what would you suggest? stop the whole world from eating meat?

@JaclynGlenn I don't see what that has to do with the fact that if we did not have meat as an option, the world would starve. The vegan "movement" obviously wants one thing, for everyone to stop eating meat.. But the problem is this is NOT possible. You could not sustain everyone without meat. So what is the solution? outlaw meat and let easily over half of the worlds population starve to death within a year? is that what you would suggest? or can we be rational?

@JaclynGlenn No. I am not watching a video when you could simply type your argument and allow me to read it much faster. Cows eat? cool story. I am guessing you somehow want to say that if the cows were not being bred to be eaten, we would have more food to eat? well perhaps, BUT, it would not be enough to feed the entire world. Billions would starve, not to mention the wars that would break out because people would be fighting over food. Type your argument if you have one to make

@toThe9thPower I did say that I personally do not eat meat, so what the eh! People can eat what ever they want, just hate to see so many die early and who said a couple of billion would starve? When it takes more land to raise one pound of meat (beef) than it does to raise one pound of fruit or veggies about 1 to 10 the 10 being fruits and veggies, you do the math?? :) Have a great day, and remember, I did not say what others should do, just what I do.

I wouldnt eat cats or dogs, but i have nothing against eating horse meat, whale meat and reindeer meat, in Sweden we have a tradition and culture of not eating predators, and cats and dogs are predators, also very common pets in this country. However, i respect asians who eats cats and dogs, its their life, their culture, their food

Why are horses different to any other animal? Why is it any more wrong to eat horses than cows or pigs? They're just other animals. If you're going to eat one animal, you should be prepared to eat any. If you want to not eat meat that's fine, but i would have no problem with eating horses at all, and nor should anyone else who eats meat.

1 Billion humans are permanently severely undernourished, and 36 million humans died of starvation in 2010. If you are a vegan and care so much about animal life, then how can you be for systemic unemployment and stealing (profit maximization) of human workers' production, capitalism?
noprofitmaximierung 3 months ago
@noprofitmaximierung please give some further research to what would be if we cut back on meat consumption. Do you really think a greater dependence on vegetables would cut back on jobs? People still need to eat... there still need to be farmers. You need crops to feed AND land to keep the animals you eat... imagine what could be done if all of it were used to produce food...
JaclynGlenn 3 months ago
@JaclynGlenn Oh, food production would not affect jobs. There is no need for unemployment is my point. i.e. GM is sitting on more than 5 Billion $ (!) in profits while Detroit has nearly 50% unemployed, literally digging up copper wires for $. The labor done by the workers who produced that profit for the bosses of GM, could be shared by employing more people. That would destroy the 'unemployment or minimum wage labor' threat of capitalism though, which allows capital to extort workers etc.
noprofitmaximierung 3 months ago
@JaclynGlenn Another substantial perversity to what it means when the people who actually produce wealth, money capital, is: that when this individual (let's say a) worker, who works an average of 10 hours a day, gets paid $2 a day (like 3 Billion humans btw.) for producing a jacket that sells for 150$ (which goes to the company's profit), and then goes to the bank to get a loan with 7% interest - HE actually Produced THAT capital which his boss put on the bank, which in turn -.

@JaclynGlenn This scenario that i just mentioned (see below), is mostly the cause to why 200,000 Indian farmers and countless others, have commited suicide in the last ten years. Even though the Indian farmers work up to 20 hours a day picking cotton, 830 million Indians get paid less than $0.50 cents a day for their production. And THEN, if you add them having to get a Loan at a bank at interest (which; money is put on the bank by capitalists), it of course drives them into indebtedness which..

@JaclynGlenn ...they cannot repay, therefore making them commit, or attempt suicide, on a massive scale. This also happens in the west, farmer suicides of poverty.

@noprofitmaximierung the production of meat is inefficient. many more mouths could be fed if these lands were converted to produce vegetables, fruit or grain, because just to feed the horses, they much grow a lot of grain to feed those horses. %80 of the corn grown in America is fed to our factory farm cows and pigs, for example. Vegans, by not eating animal products, are hypothetically lessening starvation around the world for this reason, were it not for government subsidies and pop. growth.
SuperAnimalDrummer 3 months ago
@SuperAnimalDrummer couldn't have said it better myself :) The vast majority of plant growth is used as feed for farm animals. That could be used for human consumption instead, and feed many more.
JaclynGlenn 3 months ago
@SuperAnimalDrummer Well, according to the UN World Food Report of 2010 there is enough food being produced to feed 12 Billion humans 2 700 kc a day.The problem is not food production (actually industry is deliberately overproducing for profit) it is that people have no money to feed themselves. As an example, the United States throws out 50% percent of its produced food. Speculation on cereals have made prices increase over 100% for wheat i.e., while production has remained relatively steady...

@noprofitmaximierung The reason the US produces so much food is because of the incentive brought about by government subsidies, which makes our food, in the US, really cheap. They have the incentive to overproduce. Farmers actually produce below cost, and rely on subsidies to even match cost. The whole system is fucked. Eating factory farm meat is entirely unethical and needs to stop, whether it be horse, cow, pig, or chicken. I don't see how any moral person could argue otherwise.
SuperAnimalDrummer 3 months ago
@SuperAnimalDrummer oh they find a way. It is amazing, but most of the time that I bring up factory farming, someone has something to say in support of it. People would rather take it as a personal attack and defend what they are doing so they don't have to change. That is so much easier than seeing how terrible it is and actually making a f*n change.
JaclynGlenn 3 months ago
@JaclynGlenn I agree about factory farming. Not only is it harmful to nature (as in genetically mutated feed and genetically engineered crops etc.), but it is a business for profit and not consumption, as more than 50% of the food produced in the west is thrown out. There is a great documentary film called "We feed the World" on my channel if you are interested.

@SuperAnimalDrummer I don't really have an opinion on whether to eat meat or not, I guess my point is off of this video's content.
noprofitmaximierung 3 months ago
@noprofitmaximierung Yes, this is due to trophic levels, and inherent in the food chain. If all factory farms were shut down today, and all of that land was used to grow nutritious crops, that amount of land could grow enough food to feed all starving people. That is how much land is used to grow crops for food animals. It is the meat eaters themselves who condemn those around the world to starvation, not vegans. This is not subject to personal belief by meat-eaters, this is an economic truth.
