Colin Jerwood on Animal Rights and Vegetarianiam

[conflict1967]

It's funny in a way, just like non-smokers were a minority 30 years ago, the world has flipped, non-smokers are now the majority and we're seeing a rise in vegan and vegetarian numbers. Won't be long before it's 50/50. Meat production is a huge waste of planetary resources, resources that could help to grow grain to feed the starving world, resources that wouldn't be burned down for pasture land and hence creating CO2 issues for the planet. Of course there's the moral part too.

[seriousfuno]

@conflict1967 I like the way you put it in practical, understandable terms. As a meat-eating person, this type of argumentation makes me think a lot more than the overused "meat is murder" and "animals suffer" vein of argumentation (indigenous cultures around the world eat meat, but they retrieve it in a much more humane manner than our current corporatized system...I deeply respect indigenous people).

I definitely think we all need to cut back on meat consumption big time.

[punkunite123]

That barriere is putting own responsabilities to something/somebody else

[lonely71]

Colin is still SOOOOOO fucking sexy!!!!!!!!

[Kumite0071]

Im all for vegetarian/vegan lifestyles...i just think humans have more work to do for each other, if that can be accomplished and made a priority, it should transition into better treatment and respect for all life on the planet.

[corinthecat]

Meat is Murder (but fish is justifiable homicide)

[MissVickiVonDoom]

ugh, all of you shut up.

Vegetarians don't have to be anorexic grass eaters. I live a full and happy life without meat. It is proven to be healthier and honestly I wouldn't even care if it wasn't healthier. It is morally wrong to treat ANY creature that way. And for those of you who say we should stop worrying about animals and do something good for people, I'll have you know that I probably do more work for humans than you will your entire life. But there is no peace if animals are suffering.

[dethbed77]

Nice leather sofa Colin lol keep up the good work, your doing amazing stuff.

[Johnoco66]

I said 'no disrespect' because I meant it. How many HUMANS are suffering today on this planet? Millions probably. So under the circumstances, animals come a distant second...by a long way. This doesn't mean I have no respect for people who stand by principles like Colin Jerwood, I just strongly believe they are wrong.

Butr if you fancy trading insults, that's fine by me, you thick twat.

[jackdark2810]

If we were "meant" to be vegetarians we would have been born without incisors.

I respect all of you that are veggies,but please don't frown upon those that do eat meat,you are'nt any better than us because you choose to abstain,get off you r moral high horses and do something that will benefit EVERYONE.

Peace.

[VanillaPod08]

Well said uncle colin ,

Megan x

[im07ddt]

you are right. and also he doesnt really look like a vegetarian. he is quite bulky for a vegetarian.

[Opyoyd]

Your passion always inspired Colin. Still walking the walk. Big respect mate..

[TaraZatara]

God bless animal rights activists and supporters for they are the nicest people.

[Virginsnow111]

Please remember,being a vegetarian means you do not eat fish...ok.They are not vegetables are they.Fish feel pain just as much as the next thing.wanna be veggies fuck me right off. luuv you COLIN.

[JuanSMXXI]

Thank Ü Colin. A nice man I could met and relied 100% on me. MUCHAS GRACIAS again!

[plitterplatter]

Almost everyone is a vegetarian these days thanks to the hard work of the animal rights movement.

[haircut1000]

Almost everyone? you mean those Hollywood types, a very small minority.

[Johnoco66]

There are numerous, multiple, things to worry about in the world than animals getting eaten or even experimented on

Sorry but it is way down the list on 'things to give a fuck about'.

No disrespect, honestly.

[Dieguinci]

@Johnoco66 fuckin hateful idiot

[Johnoco66]

@Dieguinci ? Hateful? Says someone calling people a fucking idiot. Knob

[Dieguinci]

@Johnoco66 yeah, your ideas talk by yourself, too hateful and speaking about "no disrespect"; you're so insensitive you don't care about other living beings...

[mishka1305]

well said! respect to you, things absolutely must change! people who abuse animals also have the same lack of respect for their fellow humans, history has taught us this but we are blind and deaf!

[Johnoco66]

@mishka1305 What like Hitler the vegetarian?

[Wyzer75]

fuck off u people who think they've got the right to do anything and say 'this is my choice".if u don't care about nothing, then,why are u comment this vid?fuck you're free speech!

[haircut1000]

Anarchists arguments make no sense whatsoever.

[brack909]

I kill animals and prepare them for my own consumption. I understand the provenance of my food. However I respect Mr. Jerwood's point of view and I admire his dedication.

[NickNack00]

I wouldn't say it won't happen, hundreds of years ago, the idea that slavery is wrong was unheard of.

[tuffenoughtorock]

Nicely put SavageFreedom. If we ended the consumption of animal flesh, the population of so-called "food animals" would go down to sustainable levels. Thus, there would be less pollution and diseases.

[dhsavage]

fuck off dick

[Siddeney]

I worked in a battery farm and the chickens were treated miserably they sometimes pecked each other to death e.t.c

Kharma... it's a bad thing animals are part of the universal lifeforce

[debo222]

i eat meat am not say Vegetarianiam is wrong .

[leushy]

it's nice to hear people discuss their own stories behind their choice. this guy pretty much mirrors my opinion completely, luckily i managed to avoid having to first-hand visit a slaughterhouse though. i've seen tapes (scarred for life in junior school during a "what does your dad do" day, but one of the other kids. there's definitely a barrier, like he said. humor just kicks in when some people have their eyes forced to the dark shadow in the corner...

[ISPCA]

Animals have the right to live.....

[debo222]

don,t we have the right to eat them

[superhuegi]

No one will force you. But just think about it.

[cockneyjack]

Animals cannot have rights because they don't have any concept of responsibilities.

[Dellydoolittle]

Many nonhuman-animals are more intelligent than human infants & some human adults who suffer from severe mental retardation.If some1 can feel pain,should it matter how smart s/he is?We would never claim that infants/severely mentally retarded adults should be used in painful experiments,have skin worn as clothing,hunted,used for entert'mnt,or eaten bcause they have no concept of responsability.When it comes to experiencing pain,other animals are our equals.

[veganswines]

I don't feel responsible for a lot of people and things either either, still I would definitely claim that both me and animals and anybody I woudlNt care care about has rights just like me too. right.

[veganswines]

yeah even I have some rights, sorry mate

[fluffypolarcat]

Animals feel pain and suffer from being confined and maltreated just like us.

[dhsavage]

yeah? and your a cunt

[anok4me]

so... can i eat meat and still be a conflict fan?

[debo222]

yeah you still be a confict fan

[fxyvgngrl]

Vegan men are fucking sexy! When they have accents.... even more fucking sexy!!

[JANER64]

Meat means Murder and the stick I get of my friends is always the same try a burger type joke, but deep down I know and I really do believe this is that they'd love to be Veggies themselves if they could just find the discipline the same Discipline that I've not got yet to become a Vegan......

Fuck farmers too.

[leushy]

aye, fuck bloody farmers, never met one that wasn't maladjusted (i live in a rural village, please don't tell me i've got no frame of reference!). people don't joke with me anymore, since i bet them £50 they couldn't watch 'Earthlings' all the way through. they all took up the bet and none of them got further than halfway. now i just get complete anger if i mention animal rights. "ohh shut up for fuck's sake, i don't want to hear it!". barriers, like colin said. it's all about barriers.

[colindanzig]

were all behind you colin....ALF.

[tuesdayx99]

Good on you, Colin.

[schutzhundboy]

Vegetarianism and Animal Cruelty are two seperate subjects. Case one desires meat and meat-by-products ... you have no right on playing the angle you have chosen! If you wish to discuss this further feel free to email me.

[ter99sai]

it takes a real man to stick up for animals and to realize thst eating flesh and corpses will make him the opposite of virile

yup IMPOTENT

[ecopunk66]

Im not alf-peta-hsa or anything but i admire what theyre all doing, ive been a conflict fan years ago and am now beginning to re-engage and look for new ideas and share attitudes etc.....well done colin!

[nyferrets]

Hello fellow american

Giuliani is out of control.

All we hear from him is 9/11, but do you remember Rudy before then?

WE sure do.

Check out what our fellow ferrets are saying about him:

Yours truly,

mike

leader of the ny ferrets

member of ferrets for freedom

[germfucker]

I like ferrets. Once one bit me in the face though...

You guys in NY?

[vegheadproductions]

Thank you for your personal courage, opening your heart to compassion and inspiring others.  We are a barbaric species and until we open our hearts to the suffering of others, we cannot be considered civilized.

[RosesFromBlack04]

VERY nice. always love to see intelligent, caring guys like Colin speaking for what's right.

[cbheld]

Thank you for posting this! A society can be judged with how it's children and animals are treated. We have a ways to go, but it is intelligent, articulate people such as yourself that give me hope that the world can be a kinder, more peaceful place.

[Sid6p01nt7]

(continued)...But to just say meat is unhealthy is too broad of a statment. What should be focused on are all the endangerd animals getting killed in the rain forest for organic crops, in which I might add for myself being part of the punk scene most vegitarians buy these products due to the 'organic label'.

[Sid6p01nt7]

Good video! I've been to a slaughter house to experiance it first-hand. It didn't convince me to stop eating meat but what it did show me was people trying to make a living. Now, if the meat industry gets shut down who is going to find employment for these millions of people? I AM AGIANST ANIMAL TESTING!!

[Savagejon]

Millions?

[Sid6p01nt7]

Yes, from the farmers to factories to market butchers. But it could be pushing it...

[dhsavage]

who gives a fuck? hypocrite

[d1ssey]

i'm really glad to see people out there who think like that

[ter99sai]

I love to see a big tough guy using his concience and not his false ego

you go COllins

[ALFJAG]

totally agree with colin.

good vid

[ivankuznetsov2000]

Excellent! Colin states it in a logical, factual way and gets across a lot in a relatively few words.

[Rtopper]

"History shows us is that whenever people begin to treat animals like human beings, it's only a smell step away from treating human beings like animals. And that seems to me the logical outcome of this nostalgic, sentimental approach towards animal rights."

[abclaret]

Top man, explaining how it is.

[so1001]

well said

[jennanicole]

Two Thumbs Up!!! It is so wonderful to see people out there just like me who are fighting the good fight and standing up for those who cant stand up for themselves!!!! KUDOS!!!
