Why is it you support Greenpeace? And they never find a solution that will solve the crisis. Why is it they never support research that is needed?
Along with why is it government, authority and industry leaders (Banking systems included) also refuse to support the energy research we all need? C.M.A. energy research - check it out and you'll find the answer why! Then ask your self? Are you following the fox that runs the hen house for granite?
Can't they simply present the facts in an intelligent manner and provide alternatives to tuna fish? Must they resort to scare tactics and manipulation? Yea, people love that. People respond real well to that. It's insulting to people with brains. Tthis stupid ad makes me want to have a nice delicious tuna melt right now.
I'm a member of Greenpeace and I agree that tuna companies should be more responsible, but I agree with DarthFurie. This is moronic. Almost as bad as the stuff Peta puts out.
I'd forward it but I have a feeling I would just be wasting my time. I mean seriously, the gore is going to turn people off. The uploader should remake this without blood
DONT LISTEN TO THEM PEOPLE. THEY MISLEAD YOU WITH INFORMATION, THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR STUPIDNESS. DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU BELIEVE EVERYTHING THEY TELL YOU
wow. This is the type of stuff greenpeace is doing to sway us to help them. let me tell you something im old this is a cartoon and doesnt tell me anything about a dirty little secret. I mean it was in lethal weapon over 20 years ago. I mean we all know they have done it. So what does this video really accomplish.... nada. without proof this is just hearsay.
I rarely comment on Utube, but if the whole greenpeace board agreed to publish this, it shows they are in decline. Greenpeace should be concentrating on population control, not adding to food inflation. This video is intended for children, but if I let my children watch this they would just think Greenpeace are twisted to say the least. Watch the tuns industry counter video. At least it is informative.
part true and part stupid....Well, what I mean is that your treating us like we're mentally incapable of getting the message without childish exaggerations.
I support what Greenpeace does, but this video is doing nothing for them... I wish it had more facts and actual images or video to help enforce the reality of the situation instead of cartoons with cutesy voices.
This video may not be top notch; however, if you don't like it don't just bitch and moan about it, send in suggestions for a better video. Also It would probably be really neat it people sent in their own videos.
Video fail. Agree with correcting foul play in tuna industry though. Clean up your act and produce more intelligent messages please. Thanks for all Greenpeace does in a 'pono' way to help life on earth. ALL LIFE!
This video didn't exactly explain to me what tuna industries are doing wrong. They want to make money? That's what all businesses want. Someone explain to me please?
Wow, money well spent...LOL. Maybe GP should contract my 14yr old next time for improved storyline and production values. Considering they're a $300 million company I'd think they wouldn't have made something so lame.
The now-inherent Mercury was reason enough to avoid eating tuna.... but it's good to know the dangerous 'how' involved with the manufacture of tuna, too.
Very disappointing to see their use of a bat as a malignant agent. What made you do that? I wonder... You owe it to the bats. You better begin a campaign improving bats´ image to the public!
My heart is with Greenpeace on this campaign, but the video is really underwhelming. The message is buried (I'm still not sure exactly what it is). I'm glad you got a famous cartoonist to work on this, but unfortunately the final product misses the mark.
Is this video what the tuna industry is bouncing off the walls about? Greenpeace, you are one of the world's best-known environmental action, nongovernmental organizations in the world but this video doesn't represent the criminal goings on in the tuna industry. Please redo the video pronto. Much Love - AC
Sorry but these green peace goonines keep sending me the most stupidest shit. They have no idea what they even talk about, and half of them has never stepped on a boat before in their lives! I wish I can sit behind a computer desk all day and say there aint no fish in the ocean and make stupid videos like these. This video is pointless.
I'm not sure how this video exposed the tuna industry greenpeace. Maybe greenpeace should be exposed for asking the tuna industry to pay for it's multi-million dollar yacht
Greenpeace (and/or Mark Flore) really fail to make their point public in this cartoon, however it has stirred up Bumble Bee, Chicken of the Sea and Starkist so maybe it has been effective where necessary.
Why did Greenpeace use a bat to represent an evil and dark creature? There are a lot of organizations around the world that works really hard to change the bad image of bats for this organization use them this way. We are very disappointed for the lack of awareness of Greenpeace.
As well as a bit poor, this is overly simplistic. Canned tuna mostly come from purse seines - a dirty fishery for many juvenile fish, but for turtle bycatch it is not as bad as longlines for example. So by this message someone will think that anything other than canned (like fresh/frozen tuna) is "good" for bycatch species such as turtles. Even the handline fisheries you endorse have turtle bycatch. Biggest problem for canned tuna is over-harvesting and its relative low value to fishers.
yeh you wont see facts because they have NONE greenpeace are corporate wankers that dont give a shit and roam the oceans burning diesel for no reason but to drum up media stories that will bring more donations and fund the uncaring greedy arseholes ,,,,,i have longlined for 15 years and none of what you say is true,, i have never seen a bird ,turtle or dolphin killed EVER!!!!!!!!!! you stop food production and bring in famine somewhere which is pure evil = murderers
after watching this video, i basically have almost no idea what the tuna industry actually does wrong. sure, now i'm going to look it up, but honestly. it wasn't really funny either, or well done, so i didn't really like watching it. at the end, he said the tuna industry has a dirty little secret. i'm still trying to figure out what that is.
Video could have done better explaining the terrible things the tuna industry does. Hope you guys make a second video that's longer and explains more. And more mermaids stabbing tuna's in a eye. That was awesome.
I love tuna, just saw one swimming offshore in the cyaman islands while eating a nutritious, delicious double helping of tuna!! I also had shark fin soup and a turtle burger this week,so I dont see how this would bother me except for the disgusting cartoon animations intended to scare my neice and nephew...
and if they take out the occasional annoying seabird, well that would be fine too! Though I wont eat them!
I am vegan but my sister LOVES tuna. This video really showed me about the dirty little secret. I am going to try to convince my sister to stop eating tuna.
was interesting to see how the mermaid blodily stabbed in the eye made my niece scream crying... I dont think too many mermaids actually died to make my tuna sandwich...
was interesting to see how the mermaid bloodily stabbed in the eye made for a scary gory image that my niece scream and be crying for the past hour... I dont think too many mermaids actually died to make my tuna sandwich... If I saw one now after watching that video, I dont think you'd like to know what I would do.
I just paid $22.87 for an iPad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $675 which only cost me $62.81 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, CoolCent. com
Greenpeace needs to fire whoever is responsible for this meaningless video! The world needs to know about the corporate greed in the tuna industry and this certainly does nothing.
Not worth forwarding.... I like it how Greenpeace's emails make it seem like they did alot of research and have breaking news. This is just another old story. Who cares anyways...the world is ending in 2012 anyways :P
@normalguyable A. We did not evolve as vegans. B. Plants are biological beings just as animals are. C. Not all other animals are endangered. Also, only bottlenoses rival our intelligence. So, there's clearly nothing wrong with eating cattle, for example.
@WillStrop2008 sir would you want your neck sliced open because of someones taste buds. they feel pain just like dogs,comparing a lettuce to your dog or cattle is laughable and just crazy, youre running out of excuses to support murder! were not starving anymore nor are we caveman.
@normalguyable Tuna eat other fish, for one thing. It's not like the tuna didn't know what it's like to eat someone. It's food, not murder. It's nature. Also, plant chemoreception allows the head of lettuce to experience what is arguably a kind of pain, while alive. Nevertheless, I'm in favor of more environmentally sound fishing practices.
@WillStrop2008 who are you to end another life? killing a life is not murder? animals feel pain just like humans, lettuce does not bleed or cry or love or hate, its grown for food and it kills cancer and is the best food for you. if you dont want your neck slcied open or your dogs dont dont enforce it on other beings for tatse buds or appetites, or then we should give cannibals rights too, they like meat.
@normalguyable Only unjustified (IE not absolutely necessary for some important end) killing is murder, not all killing. Killing other humans in combat of a just war is not murder, and neither is killing animals below a certain neurological threshold (IE NOT horses, gorillas, chimps, dolphins, other humans, parrots, etc.) for food.
@WillStrop2008 yeah your right, chickens, pigs,cows, have no right to life only right they have is to be forced against their will on hooks and have their necks sliced open, so the world has decided who should live and die. thats whats wrong with this sick country, no respect for life, if you wont eat your dog, then dont eat a pig who is samrter than a dog or chicken or cow who have intelligent qualities, and even if theyre stupid that means they die, should we kill retarded people too
@normalguyable You've yet to address my point about killing humans in combat. Besides, your argument is more or less equality of other animals to humans. Non-human animals eat other animals just as often as humans do. So, there's your measure of equality.
You never addressed my point about how the "fight" of life is eat or die, and that killing even humans in combat isn't murder because the combat is part of a hopefully justified war.
@WillStrop2008 every war has been lies and innocent peopel murdered, so i dont support any war much less by these criminals in suits living in the white house who staged 911 to start more illegal wars at others expense, i dont want anyone dying.
i especially dont want innocent animals dying because of the emat and dairy industry nazis either, who have brainwashed the public to accept millions of cows,pigs,chickens,sheep to a holocaust type camp of death. slicing a neck is hate and murder.
@normalguyable A. 9/11 was conducted by Al Qaeda, not by the US Federal Government. Bush loosened security for his own power when he knew AlQaeda was coming, but that's not planning/staging it. B. There have been justified wars. Take WWII and how it ended the Nazi Holocaust. C. Murder (Rashak in Hebrew) is not just any killing. It's unjustified killing. Killing when absolutely necessary (in this case for natural food as we evolved) is justified. Most animals don't "love or cry" as u said either.
@WillStrop2008 911 was a inside job go to infowars.com and see the real news. ww2,. oh yeah when we dropped the bomb on innocent babies oh that was nice. is it necessary to kill a whale or cow or sheep because of americas flesh addiction? animals dont love or cry? are they robots or are they put here for you to imprison and hang upside down and kill? you talk about hitler, whats going on now is way way worse. camps for innocent animals, u.n says factory farming is number 1 in air pollut.
@normalguyable Most animals don't cry because most animals are invertebrates and lack vertebrate eyes and tear glands. All smartassness aside, most vertebrates apart from dolphins and humans are asyntactic. They may cry, but it is highly doubtful as to whether they (again, except dolphins and maybe a few high end asyntactic beings) experience "love" in a sense that we would recognize. Also, InfoWars.com is an unreliable site. Try some current event articles from JSTOR instead.
@normalguyable Back to the other point, you really should look into the philosophical AND neurological controversy over what it means to feel "love" and just how far down the bioneurological hierarchy it extends. It really is a more complex issue than you're admitting. (FYI: I'm an actual biologist, not just a random Joe Shmoe from the general public.)
@WillStrop2008 destroying the planet is a terrorist act worse than genocide, and genocide is a terrorist act. Sorry no excuses, everyone involved in those crimes, including the fat executives and bloodthirsty government ghouls should be jailed for life and their companies bankrupted. NO COMPROMISE.
@Iraqgenocide2 I said nothing to favor destroying the planet. In fact, if you read one of my earlier comments, I said that I am in favor of more sustainable fishing practices, such as line rather than drift net, which do not have the environmental negative effects of current commercial fishing. (I am however arguing against making everyone vegetarian, a serious deviation from our evolutionary diet as humans.Our fossilized ancestors were certainly not vegans, and our metabolism is based on them.)
@WillStrop2008 who's "we"? you and the 7 billion other unevolved psycho and repulsive humans infesting this planet and destroying it like a disease? Human beings have earned NO rights as far as I'm concerned they call themselves a "species of life" what a joke, it's humans who should be made into fish flakes and eaten by the fish.
@Iraqgenocide2 Are you a fish? No, you're probably a human. You might as well kill yourself and feed yourself to sharks if you believe that. Besides, I'm an ecologist and hopefully future EPA employee. I'm one of the ones working to restore the environment on Earth.
@Iraqgenocide2 SOME animals (including us) have the full range of emotions. Others have various degrees thereof. Sponges, which are animals after all, most likely have NO emotions, only an experience of satisfaction (from nutrition) or lack thereof.
Some of us prefer to argue from peer-reviewed biological consensus rather than emotional impulse-based thoughts.
@MsDovewing Don't assume that I don't do constructive things with my time. That's insulting. You do miss my message though. The target audience is those who are apathetic about the campaign. To be really effective, the video needs to inform before the viewer loses interest. To sway someone, you need to keep their attention and give them the facts (not generalizations or stereotypes). I do not foresee this video accomplishing that goal because it does not clearly say what the problem is.
I dont know bout the propaganda, but my cat loves that shit, and that wins. Oh, and the multinational line is getting so old the multinationals dont buy it anymore, time for something new folks.
Good Lord! Can you can say, "way over the top?" The only thing I can give you credit for on this video is that it is nicely animated but everything else about it, well, sucks! It does very little to make me want to learn more or take action. If anything, this video is screaming at me, "RUN AWAY!" Come on, now, Greenpeace get it together & try again. You can do better than this. You can BE better than this. I am so NOT sharing this video with anyone I know.
This reminds me of when I was 13 and watched blood movies on Killfrog. It would appeal to a 13-year-old or equivalent imagination, but not to anyone with an ounce of maturity.
I don't want to see environmentalism branded with the same level of stupidity that often characterizes the tea party. Sure it has worked for them so far, but there is just as much counter culture to their movement. This will get just as many allies for Tuna Corporations as it will for Greenpeace. If not more.
Just because you've "teamed up" with a known animator doesn't mean the video is good and worth sharing. I'd be embarrassed to share this video - it presents no facts and is immature at it's best. Try again.
The tasteless and violent animation aside, this doesn't really tell the audience what the problem is. Green Peace is expecting the viewer to read more after watching the video (but the viewer is very unlikely to do this). They really need to clearly state the issues in the video. Using stereotypes of the "evil, shadowy" head of a corporation only lessens Green Peace's credibility and obscures the core issues. Green Peace, PLEASE try again.
This is a short video, it isn't disappointing because it does great at generalizing the problem with the tuna industry and how they go about it in the media. It's a set paid by a greedy ferociously hungry vampire that is willing to drain/deplete sea wildlife as a source of food for native fishermen
** If you don't like the video, VOTE IT DOWN, otherwise GP might not hear us. **
I was not informed. When I see overwrought stereotypes, with gratuitous violence (that GP is opposing, right), I feel like this is a low-brow attempt to garner support. Educate *me* so that I can go and educate others.
This is a very disappointing video. Although it is visually pleasing, it doesn't do a very good job discussing well known facts and criticisms of the tuna industry. It almost feels like issues such as killing other species is a footnote to the cuteness.
Maybe the target audience is for children. In that case, focus on cute dolphins getting killed. Reinforce things with some more facts or details.
@elwyn5150 Agree with your comment. The message is lost in the gimmick of this.Furthermore, it's annoying and I feel like the folks that I forwarded this too that don't know about it would click it off rather than figuring out the message you are trying to get across. Maybe it is for children.
I like turtles because they're so chill. They don't hurt anyone. They're just like, "Hey man, I want to swim, and maybe eat some lettuce, but I'm gonna take my time getting there, I'm not in a rush because I'm a turtle."
I agree with the goal of the campaign, namely to make people aware of this. However, the video is pointless. The message doesn't come across at all. And what's with the evil mermaid?! I thought the coorporations are the bad guys?! Weird and a complete miss...
@ninjasasuke123456789 Greenpeace is all about informing the public. The more people sensitized, the more that are willing to help a pressure group like Greenpeace, thus the more pressure Greenpeace put against corporations and governments. It's all about democratic power. What Sea Shepherd does is helpful only on short term.
If you knew what Greenpeace is about, you would know that non-violence is fundamental to their organization. You would know that risking the lives of others is not justified in their eyes even if they are acting against those committing atrocities in the name of profit. And if you believe that Greenpeace has no accomplishments then you truly know nothing about them.
@worldbuyer1969 : Please give me your example of when and where Greenpeace has used violence in one of their campaigns and I'll gladly print a retraction.
Hi guys, I just wanted to tell you something you can do, instead of buying US canned tuna, there's a lot of Spanish companies that sell their fish here in the US, so if you wanna do something I recommend you do that. Im not saying dont kill them, because we need food, but at least by buying the cans that come from Spain, I know Im helping to save that which we dont eat.
@ThaRolk so the solution is destroying some other part of the world??? that's not very smart, as tuna travel around the world, and with sea turtels, they are very important in the ocean's ecosystem for being big predators... so reduce your consumption of tuna if you don't want all the oceans to become a jellyfish soup woul be a better advice... lots of love to everyone and everything
@ThaRolk i can tell you, i'm from spain, I live in the coast, and they don't. It is true that in the north they fish some tuna with fishing rods, but it's very little quantity and it's very expensive. But seas are as bad as anywhere else or worse. We use destructive ways. Recently i read an interview to a red tuna fisher (red tuna is a very highly endangered species) and he said: "no one wants to be the first to stop getting this profit, so this won't stop until the last red tuna is caught".
@hastalueguito Yo soy Gallego, aunque vivo en USA, y no se por alli, pero en Galicia se respeta a los pescados y los animales, de hecho el atun que hay aqui proviene de Galicia.
@ThaRolk exacto, sé que en galicia se pesca con caña y tal, pero claro, no se saca tanto, así que es más caro, sólo se controla el precio porque se subvenciona, ya que es menos dañino, pero a gran escala es insostenible.. y aún así, la gran mayoría del atún enlatado proviene de altamar, donde el daño al mar no lo ve nadie y es como si no ocurriera.. yo estoy informándome bastante últimamente y el ritmo al que destruímos los océanos es muy alarmante... hace falta cambiar en todos los sentidos..
@hastalueguito Lo malo es que no solo es los oceanos, es el trato a los animales en granjas aqui, en USA, es practicamente todo, somos demasiados, y tenemos que consumir mucho, para ello la gente pesca, y cuando pescan matan a miles, pero les da igual, es todo por ahorrar tiempo, y ganar dinero, lo que pasa es que gente buena, que quiera hacer algo como tu y yo hay poca, y aunque no vayamos a pararlo, al menos ayudamos.
@ThaRolk estoy muy de acuerdo, pero no te creas que somos pocos. Nadie, ni el dueño de la más malvada de las multinacionales, puede querer la destrucción de los medios que nos permiten vivir, es lo único que realmente tenemos. Sólo hay que abrir los ojos, y estamos en camino, el mundo entero está convulsionado. Cuando todos nos demos cuenta de que el ansia de obtener beneficios a corto plazo nos lleva irremisiblemente a nuestra propia destrucción a largo plazo, las cosas cambiarán solas!
@ThaRolk mientras eso pasa, los que ya hemos despertado tenemos la obligación moral de acelerar el proceso: difundir los problemas y las posibles soluciones, hablar de ello, fortalecer nuestras relaciones y comunidades para cuando venga lo peor (que vendrá, y no va a tardar mucho..) es emocionante, tenemos todo por delante...y al igual que todos tenemos una parte avariciosa y egoísta, la bondad está igualmente presente en nosotros, sólo tenemos que sacarla en nosotros mismos y en los demás!ánimo
This seems like a parody video, actually. If it weren't from greenpeace, I would think that they were making fun environmentalists. I also like the videos promoting tuna consumption I see on the right.
@djsuperstar717 the thing is, though, that we don't need to eat fish to thrive. Exploiting animals is entirely unnecessary in our modern world. It's time we stop thinking of animals as machines and start treating them as the sentient beings they are.
@stephlovesthejobros There are different levels of sentience. Apart from us, only bottlenoses are syntactic. Horses and gorillas, though not syntactic, are too intelligent to eat I'd agree. However, most others like cattle are so not remotely approaching the syntactic level of intelligence that I must ask "Why not eat them?" By the way, we did not evolve as vegetarians.
@WillStrop2008 Babies aren't terribly intelligent. You wouldn't eat a baby, though, right? That's immoral. Nevermind the fact that pigs are more intelligent than three year old humans, or that they've got similar qualities to dogs. It doesn't matter what we evolved as, we're still frugivores and don't need any animal products to thrive. B12 is the only thing you can't get from plants now thanks to depleted soil, but it's destroyed by heat so your steak and pasteurized dairy aren't serving you.
@stephlovesthejobros The difference is that baby humans or baby Tursiops dolphins will normally grow to be fully syntactic, whereas pigs and cattle won't. Also, even infant humans have been shown to be more intelligent than most non-human primates, and nearly all primates are more intelligent than pigs. Pigs have been shown to be more intelligent than domestic dogs, but not wolves and other wild Canis animals, and not baby humans contrary to your impression.
@stephlovesthejobros A. The quote-on-quote "normal" relatives of such individuals have an emotional connection to those people that they would not have with cattle, pigs, and chickens. B. Cannibalism has been known to cause diseases from another person's nerve cell proteins entering one's brain. Such proteins from nonhuman animals are different enough in amino acid reading frame that they don't cause said diseases.
@stephlovesthejobros In addition, plants make useless amino acid molecules (amino acid formulas that can not be used in proteins) as an antipredator measure. Since animals don't do that, meat generally has higher Useful amino acid counts than those of plant material. So, no, B12 isn't the only thing.
@WillStrop2008 Oh yeah, forgot that protein, aka the building blocks of life, were so great, because most people who eat animals are really muscular and fit. You don't keep bringing bricks to a fully built house, so why would you bring excess protein (btw, we don't need protein, we need amino acids. Protein needs to be broken down into amino acids in our bodies for it to be used, but that just creates a whole lot of metabolic waste and toxins) if you want to be healthy?
@stephlovesthejobros I wasn't talking about intact proteins. I was talking about relative counts of useful amino acids. Plants are known to make useless animo acids as deterents to predation (antiherbivore device). The reason amino acids are needed is to use them in making proteins, not to use them as free monomers.
@WillStrop2008 Also, we can't do live food tests on plants, only cooked ones, and when you cook food you lose all the enzymes as well as a whole bunch of other nutrients. The enzymes = the amino acids. That's why when you look at an apple people say it has no protein, but of course it doesn't have any bio-available nutrients when it's cooked.
@stephlovesthejobros Any chemical test that can be run on an animal can be run on a plant. For example, if you can run a chemical test on blood, you can run the same test on liquid content in a leaf. Also, amino acid monomers from any protein, whether that protein molecule was broken down in digestion itself or beforehand in cooking, can be reused in making other proteins.
Wait, it makes you smarter, tickles your tummy, AND makes you live forever? I'm definitely eating ten cans a day!

As well as a bit poor, this is overly simplistic. Canned tuna mostly come from purse seines - a dirty fishery for many juvenile fish, but for turtle bycatch it is not as bad as longlines for example. So by this message someone will think that anything other than canned (like fresh/frozen tuna) is "good" for bycatch species such as turtles. Even the handline fisheries you endorse have turtle bycatch. Biggest problem for canned tuna is over-harvesting and its relative low value to fishers.

@normalguyable Only unjustified (IE not absolutely necessary for some important end) killing is murder, not all killing.

@normalguyable You've yet to address my point about killing humans in combat. Besides, your argument is more or less equality of other animals to humans. Non-human animals eat other animals just as often as humans do. So, there's your measure of equality.
You never addressed my point about how the "fight" of life is eat or die, and that killing even humans in combat isn't murder because the combat is part of a hopefully justified war.

@normalguyable A. 9/11 was conducted by Al Qaeda, not by the US Federal Government. Bush loosened security for his own power when he knew AlQaeda was coming, but that's not planning/staging it. B.

@normalguyable Most animals don't cry because most animals are invertebrates and lack vertebrate eyes and tear glands. All smartassness aside, most vertebrates apart from dolphins and humans are asyntactic. They may cry, but it is highly doubtful as to whether they (again, except dolphins and maybe a few high end asyntactic beings) experience "love" in a sense that we would recognize. Also, InfoWars.com is an unreliable site. Try some current event articles from JSTOR instead.

@normalguyable Back to the other point, you really should look into the philosophical AND neurological controversy over what it means to feel "love" and just how far down the bioneurological hierarchy it extends.

@stephlovesthejobros There are different levels of sentience. Apart from us, only bottlenoses are syntactic. Horses and gorillas, though not syntactic, are too intelligent to eat I'd agree.

@WillStrop2008 Babies aren't terribly intelligent. You wouldn't eat a baby, though, right? That's immoral.

It doesn't matter what we evolved as, we're still frugivores and don't need any animal products to thrive.

@stephlovesthejobros The difference is that baby humans or baby Tursiops dolphins will normally grow to be fully syntactic, whereas pigs and cattle won't. Also, even infant humans have been shown to be more intelligent than most non-human primates, and nearly all primates are more intelligent than pigs. Pigs have been shown to be more intelligent than domestic dogs, but not wolves and other wild Canis animals, and not baby humans contrary to your impression.

Such proteins from nonhuman animals are different enough in amino acid reading frame that they don't cause said diseases.
WillStrop2008 6 months ago
@stephlovesthejobros In addition, plants make useless amino acid molecules (amino acid formulas that can not be used in proteins) as an antipredator measure. Since animals don't do that, meat generally has higher Useful amino acid counts than those of plant material. So, no, B12 isn't the only thing.
WillStrop2008 6 months ago
@WillStrop2008 Oh yeah, forgot that protein, aka the building blocks of life, were so great, because most people who eat animals are really muscular and fit. You don't keep bringing bricks to a fully built house, so why would you bring excess protein (btw, we don't need protein, we need amino acids. Protein needs to be broken down into amino acids in our bodies for it to be used, but that just creates a whole lot of metabolic waste and toxins) if you want to be healthy?
stephlovesthejobros 6 months ago
@stephlovesthejobros I wasn't talking about intact proteins. I was talking about relative counts of useful amino acids. Plants are known to make useless animo acids as deterents to predation (antiherbivore device). The reason amino acids are needed is to use them in making proteins, not to use them as free monomers.

@WillStrop2008 Also, we can't do live food tests on plants, only cooked ones, and when you cook food you lose all the enzymes as well as a whole bunch of other nutrients. The enzymes = the amino acids. That's why when you look at an apple people say it has no protein, but of course it doesn't have any bio-available nutrients when it's cooked.

@stephlovesthejobros Any chemical test that can be run on an animal can be run on a plant. For example, if you can run a chemical test on blood, you can run the same test on liquid content in a leaf. Also, amino acid monomers from any protein, whether that protein molecule was broken down in digestion itself or beforehand in cooking, can be reused in making other proteins.
