Awesome video! Thank you so much for making and posting this up! It brought both happy & sad tears to my eyes.
I hope more people can take their time off and really listen to what vegetarians, vegans, environmentalists, animal lovers etc are saying! We are ALL THE SAME- we feel joy, sadness, fear and pain.. Is that really too difficult to comprehend? Taking animals out of our diets is NOT a big deal at all & no, I don't think I'm missing out in life at all by eating a plant based diet. :) :)
Thanks everyone for the support of this video! I'm surprised to see it featured on so many peoples accounts - thanks again!
Looking at the stats of the video, I'm kind of sad that it didn't pick up more. I haven't made a video like this since Highschool Com tech, so I think I might try my hand at a revamped version of this video during the Xmas break... Better script, narration, better clips and hopefully better views!
MY DEAR CHILD- IF PEOPLE COULD JUST STOP AND LISTEN TO A CHILD -WELL....DON'T YA KNOW --THE WORDS OF WISDOM COME FROM A CHILD AND YES --THEY ARE OUR FUTURE--SO I SAY ""WAKE UP EVERYBODY"' JOHN LEGEND AND THE ROOTS SING IT "WAKE UP EVERYBODY-NO MORE SLEEPING IN BED--WE HAVE TO CHANGE --WE ALL HAVE TO,LOL U
what I still can't understand is how these animals keep being killed in such horrible conditions, with all this technology available to make their death quick and painless. Because of financial greed, abattoir workers are required to kill too many animals per hour and they end up killing them in brutal ways.
I'm back on a second go-round... More people to share this with! We are growing! And making good changes for the better! Keep up the great advocacy! :)
Thanks for sharing! This video is great! And it is wonderful that you are trying to be the voice of those who aren not heard: the animals.. I love to be your friend!
Thank you for educating the masses! I first viewed this video 6 weeks ago. I then made the resolve to become a Vegan! I stopped eating steak, baby back ribs, fried chicken and shrimp cocktail and it WASN'T difficult. If I can do this, SO CAN YOU!
Look i admit that i am not a vegan.... but if i understood right from what i listened to an' watched, the problem is not the people who eat meat, but the people who breed these animal under these unacceptable conditions. So if we have to do something about that, we have to sabotaz those companies an' people who do this. Human beings are not depedent on eating meet. Thats clear. But the millions of humans evolution made this habit a reality which is not easy for people to discharge from it.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and respond respectfully.
I do agree with you in one regard that animals should not be treated like this, and that that is a major part of the problem.
However, That is somewhat beside the point I tried to make with this video. I'm trying to say that there is no secure grounds to treat animals as resources at all, regardless of how well their treat them. We aren't better than animals - just different and we shoudl respect that diffence. Thanks!
The people who eat meat perpetuate the problem. Who do you think PAYS for the cruelty to animals? Those who buy the products. So no the answer is not to sabotage those companies but to boycott them by going vegan.
Absolutely AWESOME!! I knew these words were somewhere, I just couldn't find them! This is exactly how I felt when I had the same realisation... I'm going to be sharing this on FB and posting it on my fav's on here and on Myspace!!
I just saw this video through FB and have put it on my blog too! It speaks volumes (though a child's perspective) what should be so easy for all of us to understand: Animals belong to themselves! They are not "ours" to use & kill. And it's entirely UNNECESSARY to do so! Thanks for sharing this simple yet profound message! :)
I will put this video on my page and try to cross post this as wide as possible. It is wonderful when a child speak out against the "meat". It is also true when a child is speaking the truth, more adults are willing to stand still and listen. Maybe the voice of a child can bring common sense and righteousness into the attitude of adults....who knows....
Thanks for posting this around! can i ask you how you did it? In the past week my viewings, ratings and overall everything about this video has skyrocketed! And the attention span has stayed relatively the same, meaning the people you shared it to actually watched! So how did you do it? It seems a lot of views came from facebook, msn, and myspace?
SC: It's easy: all you do is click on the "share" button up there below the vid screen, and it gives you options (Facebook, etc).. just follow the instructions.
It's so hard to watch, but the message is there and those of us who are already Vegan and couldn't actually watch the whole thing, read along with the little boy.
I thought about it all day today. You really put it together very well & nicely thought out. it was just enough of the violence to know what happens and the softness of your brothers voice to make it filled with a human element, makes the viewer feel empathy for the situation. Beautiful!
that was fantastic! two thumbs up. though, I must say, at times it was a bit difficult to understand what the child was saying, but other than that, it was symphonic and has a great composition. I would give you an A. Fo sho.

Killing animals for food when it is not nessicary is not acceptable. Especially in the western world.
