go vegan

[splotz1]

Lots of naysayers here. Gotta say that there isn't an intelligent one here. Naysayers are like little children saying 'I'm afraid of new ideas. Your idea that my way of life is wrong scares me, and I don't want to know the truth behind my shitty choices". Animal consumption is an inhumane disaster in industrialized countries. America is fat and unhealthy and veganism is such an elegant answer. You CAN get all the nutrients you need with a vegan diet. Read some books like "Diet for a New World".

[thegillotine09]

What if I've actually hunted, shot, and butchered an animal, and I think YOU'RE wrong? You've never done it apparently, so maybe you're the one who is afraid of different ideas. Maybe you don't know the truth behind MY choices.

[splotz1]

I grew up eating meat and dairy like most Americans. So, yes I do know the truth behind eating meat. I can empathize with you, just like I can empathize with the animals we choose to eat. I don't think anyone would disagree that animals can feel pain, fear, panic, and confusion. I found enough information on alternatives, held it up to my choices, and this information turned my world view upside down. Read any of the John Robbins books and watch "earthlings" (search youtube). Thanks.

[jedidraco89]

@splotz1 no.... thank you

[jedidraco89]

@splotz1 or eat some meat!

[thestreetsempty]

@jedidraco89 Or, don't. Just eat plants. Any killing of sentient beings, is murder. Plants are not sentient, they provide all essential nutrients, and it's better for you, the planet, starving countries, and of course the animals.

Fuck weak-minded murderers. Go vegan!

[jedidraco89]

@thestreetsempty just bc it healthyer dosnt mean its better, i like the way meat tastes its great. beef, deer , rabbit, its all good. its like saying you should not skydive bc its dangerus even though you love to do, life is to short to pass up the things you enjoy and i enjoy meat, and animals dont have souls anyway so its not moraly wrong to kill them for food or sport.

[thestreetsempty]

@jedidraco89 Humans don't have souls either.

Sentience is the determining factor as to how the organism be regarded and treated.

And you are the very reason this needs to be systematically implemented. Changing an ignorance which harms the planet cannot be relied on grassroots action alone.

[jedidraco89]

@thestreetsempty dude all humans have souls besides the ginngers, and if you dont eat meat you will start having vagina growing all over you until you just turn in to one big vagina, you should really watch more south park, it will change your life for the good

[JamesKaify]

@jedidraco89 -Do you eat raw meat, without any added flavouring/seasoning? So how do you know you like the way dead animals taste? And saying that animals 'don't have souls' only tells me how soulless YOU are... (Another tip: healthier DOES mean better!)

[lilbabygirl202]

vegans and vegetarians are pussies and need a mouth full of meat haha

[Rynox]

Just had burgers yesterday, lookin forward to barbecuing again.

[threenailzz]

[splotz1]

B12 can be created by organic synthesis. Guess they didn't teach you that in "trucker school", Joe.

1:02 I have been to some bullfights on vacation to spain, once. it was in sevilla. a great piece of culture, going back hundreds of years back. I genuinly understand why Hemmingway loved it so much. It is entertainment pur sang. Pamplona is on my wishlist also. i'd love to run through those streets one day. Banning bullfights would be a cultural disaster. It will never happen by the way. The spannish people love it too much. I would go there every time if i would live in spain.

[LegendxWind]

@camiziodeltoro

Culture never excuses barbarity and abuse. Do you also applaud female circumsion, something that is the cause of sickness, death and pain and that is a celebrated culture in a few places around the world? If you have no problem with animal welfare infringes, surely you have no problem with human rights infringements.

[camiziodeltoro]

0:14 wow, great bull. I'd love to shoot a beast like that some day. Right between the shoulder blades.

[poodlemcdoodle]

hey veggies i think that the actuall animal cruelyy thing like dog fighting and neglect is wrong but eating is not. just think of all the animals that we didnt eat and then how would we dispose of the bodies of millions of chickens and cows and all the other animals that we eat regularly and that coat/fur thing is true give the rest of the fox to someone who wants to eat it. Think about this as well where u get ur veggies from is it animal free, do they kill the animals that eat ur veggies think

[jperko22070]

Most vegans are spoiled little art fags or trend setter wannabees that just have to against the grain all the time. Yeah, go and whine to some starving person in africa and see what they have to say about vegans. You make me wanna hurl, FREAK!

[HolyHellPreacher]

jperko22070: I'm all for going against the grain, but I agree with your sentiment!

[jackriter]

"spoiled little art fags" lets pick this apart, 1 im shit poor, so not spoiled, 2 im muscular as fuck (i work out) 3 i cant draw for shit, 4 im straight, though shit there, you tried

dont complain about vegans, it just makes you a hippocryte

[waster125]

Ya, sure you're muscular as fuck

[jperko22070]

[lantek7]

Steven Davis, a prof of animal science at Oregon State Uni: "Vegan diets are not bloodless diets. Millions of animals die every year to provide products used in vegan diets." Clearing fields for produce displaces entire eco-systems. Agriculture machines like combine harvesters shreds millions of rabbits, mice, pheasants, snakes, birds, & moles annually. Switching to a food system dominated by beef & dairy would save the lives of 300 million + animals annually than switching to a vegan system

[splotz1]

Actually, the usage of land for growing grains for feeding the billions of animals we use for food every year far exceeds that used for feeding people. This doesn't include the land subjected to total ecoside by raising cattle. Veganism isn't perfect, but if you were better informed you'd see an alternative that is better for the environment, your health, and doesn't involve unimaginable cruelty.

[MadJim16]

Im sure glad I only eat free range food

[podycheck]

I have this checklist of all the types of meat I've eaten. It's getting long! Every zoo should have a few grills is the way I see it.

[WanderingGnome]

I don't need a mother cow because I am not a baby cow..

[Pandaurso]

you vegans are all fags!

[yamiyugi25]

I'm vegan, so bite me! GO TO HELL WHILE YOUR AT IT!

[KieranRoss]

Im veggie but dont think I could go vegan as I love milk etc all though I try and buy as much free range organic. Nice song but the cats at the end WTF no one is gona eat thaT!

[psychedelicate]

uhhh yre right veganism is a by product of society.

its a response to oppression and the rampant abuse of our natural resources... fucking douchebag.

go vegan! <3

[cerapax]

Ok, oppression and abuse I can understand. But you don't have to force your ideals on to other people

and what's wrong with eating honey???

[cerapax]

Ok, you've got a point there! But you don't like it when I push my ideals onto you and I don't like it when you push your ideals onto me! ...But seriously what's wrong with honey!

[intellectrical]

Oh my god. I love Morrissey, err, well, The Smiths. Definitely. But yeah, All of you who would advocate the consumption of animals, you can all go to hell. Murderers.

[legal1zemurder]

Wow, you're either a really huge faggot, or you're just a trend-following pussy.

[cerapax]

When a lion grabs it's prey and literally chokes it to death by grabbing it around the throat and slowly suffocating it is that cruel! ...Don't separate yourselves from nature! ....Run up and try to stop it! and tell that dang lion it's being cruel, video tape it and post it on here for all of us to see!!!

VEGANISM IS A BY PRODUCT OF A SOCIETY THAT HAS TOO MUCH!!! ...Tell the children in somalia and anywhere else there's a famine to go vegan!!

[cerapax]

F**K going vegan!!! ....Meat and their by products is sooooo goood!!! ....Veganism is a by product of a society that has everything!!!!

Honey is sooooo goood!!! Milk is sooooo tasty and I can't live without them!!!! ...I would never go vegan and there's nothing you can do about it!!!!

[kermitismypal]

not going vegan because you like the taste of animals is disgustingly immature.

[cerapax]

so I'm immature!
