Inbreeding produced the difference between the 48 chromosomes of chimps and the 46 chromosomes of humanms today. Back then populations were small. And a tribe of Bushmen are the beginnings of humans, all humans white ,too.
What types of people honestly, 699 of them, could dislike this video about loving animals? Is it possible they really don't love the animals, or is it about just Cristina? Unf**kingbelievable!!
What a beautiful message and video. Terms like 'animal' and 'human' are ultimately empty though--as taught by Buddha. We are all sentient beings, as your video aptly shows. Perhaps the term "god' is ultimately empty too. If god is imaginary, how much better would it be if people, instead of going to and giving to church, spent their time and money helping suffering beings?
God gave man control over the animals on earth, but they were to be treated with compassion and respect. And not to be forced to work and be tortured.
@JaneCochran empathy is great but food is more important if your uncle thought you would go on to work on a farm then he was trying to ensure your livelyhood and did nothing wrong sadly
sister "i believe there is one god who created this world and when we die we will meet him for eternal life in heaven or hell yes but dont take hell so easy it is forever burning and we wont die in hell as our body will all burnt or melted and then rebuilt and then burnt and then rebuild and so on and so on and so on forever and imagine fire(hell) of god who says i created sun ,can we able to look to sun just for i say few seconds i cant, can u?(try looking in sun for few seconds)
I shot a deer this morning, skinned and gutted him. Tonight he will be dinner. Some would think me a barbarian, but that deer had a free and happy life in the open air roaming where ever it wanted. Not like the cows most of these hypocrites eat as they call me a savage, who live crammed together knee deep in their own shit, being feed antibiotics and hormones.
I'm really sick of the superiority complex humans hold, hell, most of our accomplisments aren't even our own. How many modern humans do you think would be able to figure out how to do something as simple as making fire if they were thrown out into an environment where they had no ability to learn from their ancestors. We aren't more important or vastly superior to other animal, our intellectual status is more a result of the level at which we pass down knowledge, a very small intellectual feat.
In some ways, humans are a different life form all together, but we still posess some animalistic aspects- sadness, anger, happiness and lust, and love. We still feel emotions. I am very tired and have forgotten the whole point of this comment.
@FluffFaceProductions Humans are a different life form from other animals as much as Bonobos are, as much as Cats are, as much as E. coli is. There is no aspect of humanity which defines us from other animals any more than other aspects define other animals from each other.
@metalmike83 So we accomplished something interesting. The only thing we accomplished was history. You would be no better off (in fact worse off) than a chimpanzee in a jungle if it weren't for the fact that we have history, and that does not make us in any way superior to other animals, definitely not on the level we elevate ourselves to.
Ok fine you go ahead and you try and hug a tiger or a Gorilla or a FUCKING BEAR!!!! No really go for it there are SOME that have the intelligence of a human but the rest learn only from survival and who's in what food chain
@TheOJDrinker Only it's not as much MY preferences as the animal's. Yes, everything dies, but not everyone wants to die. I never said it was wrong to kill for food, only that it's diabolically wrong to torture an animal for literally all of it's life just to get a burger for less than a dollar. I'm sure you agree. If not, it must be because you've, out of guilt, convinced yourself that animals are too stupid to mind being tortured.
I have no desire for animal bloodshed for the sake of bloodshed.
Unfortunately the progress and well being of mankind often depended on exploiting "non-human slaves". Sometimes our very survival depends on killing certain animals. Maybe one day in a distant future utopian world we will no longer need to do this. Only a wealthy and scientifically advanced human society could have the luxury of extending rights to all animals.
The only reason we are so intelligent is cause we humans are extremely fragile. Or have we become so fragile because of our intelligence? Reguardless, Animals are capable of the same emotions we have, at least when it comes to warm blooded animals. I'm not sure if Reptiles have the same emotions. I grew up with dogs and also had an Amazon Parrot, nobody can tell me that animals don't have emotions and that many species don't have intelligence.
Would love to see you do more videos of the relationship between species... And how "gOd" defined that it should be thus. That's the biggest lie to be questioned - The idea that a deity "gave" humans other sentient creatures to "use". A total self-serving myth!
When I was 4 I cried as terrified calves were strapped to a table crying out in pain as they were branded. My Christian uncle said it was ok because they don't feel anything. I cried harder because he lied to me (which was unthinkable but undeniable).
Then he killed my favorite cow & served her to me to teach me cows were livestock not pets. I didn't understand and looked for her for days after before I did. Then I was scared anyone I loved would be hurt. So much for teaching me empathy.
Not as much, but it wasn't fully driven from me (and I can't lay it all on my uncle). I'm much more pragmatic these days and find it harder to care than I used to, yet I still feel a sense of good will toward others (and not just humans) that affects my behavior.
Needless to say I don't buy the common notion many have that Christianity makes us more compassionate or that children need to learn empathy from adults. It certainly wasn't my experience anyway.
@JaneCochran I have natural empathy - I think it's something you're born with. Or in some cases not. My father is a psychopath and has no empathy whatsoever. Made things hard on me to say the least. I once had a kitten that I loved. But he refused to let it stay inside and the dog killed it. He knew it would die as this was a farm and it was really tiny and could not fend for itself. I've had people be cruel to me most of my life yet I still have lots of empathy.
@JaneCochran My mom had this german sherphard. The dog hated my dad so my dad ran it over on purpose. He then left it to suffer slowly and my grandpa had to shoot it to put it out of it's misery. The dog we had later on he would pin to the fence and kick. He once threw a monkey wrench at the dog and chipped a piece of the bone off at the dogs elbow. The dog howled and howled in pain and my dad just told him to shut up. He then wondered why the dog was afraid of him.
I used to feed homeless cats when I lived around some a few years ago. One day an independent tom came to me very sick with antifreeze poisoning & I tried calling vets but none would help in a timely manner. I held him in my lap & cried. He died that night (wee hours of Thanksgiving) in a box bed I'd made him.
I made & passed out fliers promoting less toxic antifreeze, but I doubt it made a difference.
Your video's make me cheer "right-on"! This one made me cry. Good to know one still can once and awhile. ......Euphoric feelings of joyful tears for special moments like that ape checking itself in the mirror. Good job on all your works. Thanxz
hey there are still examples of human slaves kicking around. I am not sure we can claim globally much in the way of moral superiority to those in our recent history nor ancient. If we recognise this and decide to do something about it on a global scale I think my world view would shatter and I might catch a religion or something from the shock, but I consider a utopian star trek view of humanity as likely as the existence of god. eg Hitler was not human! Don't be bloody ridiculous.
There's actually more human slaves right now than there has ever been in history.
Quick snippet from wiki:
There are more slaves today than at any point in history, remaining as high as 12 million to 27 million, even though slavery is now outlawed in all countries.
Being an Athiest, where do you believe animals and humans (creatures with emotions and intelligence) came from? I'm not being sarcastic, I honestly just want to know.
Do they have the capability to be discontent with, oh dunno, the fact that their species is threatened by crocodiles or tigers regularly, each time they wanna sip some water?
Zebras just run from the tiger, and don't proceed to write "we should do something about this" essays on blogs, and inventing technologies to detect camouflaged alligators.
We are in our mental capacities - not necessarily each aspect (some animals may have better spatial memory, for example), but our ability to form thoughts, self-reflect, communicate and invent? SURE superior.
Does their ignorant happiness somehow make them superior? Conformists are usually more "content" than critics of society, as are meat eaters compared to animal rights activists. Does that make them better?
It's sad that "people" dislike this video. BTW, human trafficking, forced labor, and sex slavery is still a world wide concern. Very near to where I live is the Mexico/US border and underage slave girls are smuggled into the US and then forced to have sex with men that pay the slave handlers. Many of the girls are lured and tricked into thinking they will be cleaning houses and by the time they arrive in the US it's too late and they are unable to escape. Search "san diego trafficking".
2:35 I'm opposed to cosmetic animal testing an animal mistreat in circuses but not zoos. Given, there are some zoos that keep animals in cages too different from their natural environment, small cages where they cannot run free. That I am opposed to.
But lots will give them encoluseres with other animals, evn of differen, safe species. Like in New Zealand. I don't think that's abuse if they are well treated
Humans aren't the only species that should be called "People."
Biological evolution has taught me so much about ourselves and the world around us. It's beautiful how it all makes sense to me now!! And I am enraged that I have been denied this knowledge my whole life because of religious lies...
The ending is one of the most beautiful sounds I enjoy! And I've got three people in my family who make that sound: Squeaky, Loonie & Gizmo.
There's not enough love to waste on an imaginary deity.
i couldn't agree more. Animals suffer when they get treated badly and we shouldn't make them suffer but protect them and keep them save like we want to be save. And stopping animal abuse, specially in the meat industry, also helps to stop or at least reduce the destoying of our nature.

Great video! Living creatures have consciousness. Just different degrees of awareness. Human life means "humane." We should respect life. Human life is meant for realizing our true eternal essence as spirit soul.
@HeavenChildHappy In what drugs are you on? atheists are deamon possesed serpents? Vegetarianism is satanic? What could be satanic about not wanting to kill animals?
i dont understand your logic.... what criss is saying is to treat animals better and i understand that but killing an animal for food is completely acceptable for me... hunting for fun is something i dont generally coerce but hunting for a living is.... i mean take for example the carnivorous animals in nature... are they BAD for hunting for their survival? we are omnivorous and you guys better accept that cos a diverse diet has many pros... i dont want any angry vegetarians busting my balls btw
@biggsleezy The reason that humans should feel guilt is because of our capabilities. If you lived in the wild and had to trap and kill any animal for your survival needs, then by all means do it. If you (we as a species) are capable of cultivating a vegeterian meal while providing all of the necessary nutrients for the body (which we can), then there is no need to eat animals, only a want. Also, animal factories are just wrong and upsetting in themselves. Bottom line, it's a want not a need.
@DigitalSauce Plants are living things anyway, Plants don't supply proteins which helps in muscle development as much as they supply vitamins, so it doesn't make it anymore of a need that vegetables and fruits. Chimps don't just go "mmm, they're fruits here, I might as well just leave that monkey alone", they eat whatever that doesn't kill them, which includes meat. And this idea about banning animal factories, are you saying that we should all be hunters now?
@biggsleezy Well you can get proteins from things like nuts and beans, and there are more sources than that. It's true that plants are living things as well, but the intelligence and emotions of plants is something left mostly unresearched. Meat is hard on your health, the body has trouble digesting it and it's full of hormones that we shouldn't consume. What you describe about chimpanzees is a survival technique, much like our forming of agriculture. You don't need to eat meat, it's a want.
@biggsleezy I would be fine with the consumption of meat if the practice occured significantly less often. I would also be fine if we didn't consume any form of meat, and it was completely healthy to do so. I have little issue with killing an animal for a celebratory function, but mass producing meat is torturous. Meat factories are disgusting, if we consumed less, agriculture wouldn't be an issue. Overhunting would be an issue.
@biggsleezy Hunting could work, but the monetary system, and the amount of people on this planet, doesn't allow it to. We have way too much of a chance to overhunt with poaching alone if meat consumption was banned. The options we are left with in our current state is either ban meat consumption outright, or farm and consume a considerably lesser amount. I personally don't like killing animals because they are helpless to escaping the fate, unlike in nature where they all have their strengths.
@DigitalSauce Since we don't know how intelligent plants are we can just assume it is OK to kill and eat them, but animals is another story?
We are in nature. Animals have certainly adapted to avoid us. Most of us, a very large majority in fact, don't kill animals for the hell of it. We use them for food, and for things to provide shelter.
Something never mentioned is that we as humans PROTECT endangered animals. No other species would do this.
@Reip187 I'm not saying to assume anything is okay. The reason we don't know about that is the same reason we mistreat animals. However, all energy that every animal receives comes from plants. It's the circle of life. Reducing our animal consumption only provides benefits to our health, our environment etc. And what do you mean we don't kill animals "for the hell of it"? What about pollution, overdevelopment, poaching, sport, boredom..? I'm not sure what point you are arguing.
@DigitalSauce SOME people do that. Not most people. We are much more aware of species counts now and we try very hard not to endanger them. We can't just hunt anything we want in the U.S. You have to even get a license to hunt deer, and you are only able to kill so many. We actually regulate their populations. Without hunting them they would overrun us and cause all kinds of other problems.
Nature isn't always pretty. Be against torturing animals and such things.
@Reip187 Pollution and all that stuff? Things we are still not completely sure about. Animals have lived long before us and will probably live long after us. They adapt and evolve. We are the very least of their concerns I am sure of it.
@Reip187 Also, most people, like you it seems, condone some of the things, if not all, by turning a blind eye to the argument. Much like you are walking away from this argument having realised, it seems, that you have no point to make.
@DigitalSauce I don't condone anything. I don't condone arguments where you say things like we don't know how intelligent plant life is, but you feel that since you know animals have emotion it is not OK. I never said anything about slaughtering animals for fun. Animals we kill for large food supply we actually BREED. Cows, goats, pigs, etc. I don't want to accuse you of just thinking animals are cute and having an emotional argument, which is why I don' t want to argue.
@Reip187 And it does bug me emotionally, but that's not why I argue it. I argue it because it is a messed up direction to go in, if we treat animals like a commodity, we treat life like a commodity, look around you it's already happening. I want to see a brighter future, that breeds intelligence over consumeristic, viral behaviour. Why? For my human survival goals. It may sound silly, but this is one step closer towards world peace and all that shit.
@DigitalSauce The problem with that is we can't argue, or debate on that level. It is philosophy and nobody is "right", and you aren't giving me any facts to look at. Animals and evolution is amazing, but there is nothing to debate here. How do we treat life like a commodity? Prostitution? Strippers? People on youtube using their looks to get partnerships and views? (Not Criss she's actually intelligent, although pretty). How exactly does not eating meat translate to stopping consumerism?
@Reip187 Why condone eating meat at all tehn? I don't understand your argument. You condone it to a small degree, but not if a lot of people do it. That makes no sense at all. It's a very erratic argument, and I don't know what to say to it. Those animals wouldn't even exist if they weren't bred. Should we own dogs and cats? What about fish?
@Reip187 Watch a video, on youtube, called Earthlings. It is a long video, so I only would ask that you watch the first 10 minutes of it. It will describe what I am incapable of describing with a 255 character limit. You are taking my words out of context to try and provide an argument, but you are still wrong. I am not simply trying to be right, where as you truly are... All I ask that you take from this "argument" is that you watch Earthlings, please.
@DigitalSauce I'm not trying to be right. I am just questioning your reasoning. That "documentary" is sensationalized and incredibly biased. It is not going to turn me into a vegan. It's an emotional plea using as graphic images as they can find and claiming it as "standard practice". That they turned the comments off makes me even less likely to want to watch more since that is another emotional response that dismisses understanding. Do you think I thought meat fell out of the sky?
@Reip187 Questioning my reasoning??? If you don't want to watch the documentary then you have absolutely no argument. That is entirely the standard practice you moron. You think the people cutting the throats of animals do it in a humane way? No, they don't, they mass produce them like objects and use them like objects. There is the proof right there... There is no use in arguing my point with you, you choose ignorance unfortunately. Thanks for helping the human race be a fuck up.
@DigitalSauce And another thing, the corporations who own these facilities ADMIT to using these practices. What they say doesn't go on is the psychotic behaviour like trash talking animals and hitting them in the head with wrenches. They ADMIT that they cut the throats of pigs, and sometimes those pigs aren't dead by the time they hit the boiling water. They ADMIT they cut and burn the beaks off of chickens who live in cramped cages. Get your facts straight, you look foolish!
@DigitalSauce See...this is why you are a waste of time. You started calling me names and I have been nothing but polite to you. In that video they show people beating friggin elephants and whatever else. Claiming it all as standard practice. Most of these people are just plain assholes that enjoy hurting animals. I'm sorry, but I don't live in a 3rd world country. I also don't feel like watchign 2 hours of animal cruelty shock porn with almost no freal arguments other than emotion.
@DigitalSauce What else do carnivorous animals eat? They as well as our species can't survive solely on just plants all of the time. Meat and it's protein are always required for some things. As long as an animal is killed for purpose, like the Eskimos do and use every part for survival, then it's fine. We are omnivores and can't survive without meat, or the artificial supplements for vegans who try to go without it.
@shady9321 We are omnivorous given we have the capability of eating from both food sources. What information is stating that humans need to eat meat? I'm legitimately interested. You're also not disagreeing with me, I was saying that the meat consumption of today is completely unecessary, regardless of do we need meat or not, animal factories are a crime against nature. That's all I was trying to say, Reip187 took my words out of context. I wouldn't expect anyone to read that argument though.
@DigitalSauce I would agree that the factories are crimes against humanity, but seem to be essential for our industrialized nation. Although our society surely could suffice without it, many cities are too dependent on such places and couldn't initially handle the brunt force of fallout caused by removing them; that's a whole other issue I wouldn't know how to tackle. Humans do need proteins for proper growth and functioning, which can come from meat and not from plants.
@shady9321 I definitely could see what you are saying about factories as becoming a reality. But that is only because of a lack of proper education. Proteins on the other hand are not obtained solely from meat. You can get proteins from things like beans or almonds, that's inarguable. Apparently (currently reading about it), one of the only arguments left is that of vitamin B12, people say it only comes from meat. It however truthfully comes from bacteria, therefore many things; soil, yeast etc.
@DigitalSauce I agree completely that there isn't even close to a majority of proteins that solely come from just meat, and I would also infer here that plants are always a better resource to harvest because of cost, enivro. impact, and the lack of ethics for plants. I only stand from the side where vegans become devoid of some health in cases because they don't always receive the same nutrients that meats can have, like Omega 3 in fish. I might finally go read 'The Jungle' by Upton Sinclair.
@DigitalSauce I agree completely that there isn't even close to a majority of proteins that solely come from just meat, and I would also infer here that plants are always a better resource to harvest because of cost, enivro. impact, and the lack of ethics for plants. I only stand from the side where vegans become devoid of some health in cases because they don't always receive the same nutrients that meats can have, like Omega 3 in fish.
@shady9321 Not to keep coming at you in attempt to dispute what you're saying, but, Omega 3 can come from non-animals as well (just looked it up after you said that), for example flax-seed and walnuts both contain Omega 3. What do you mean "close to a majority of proteins that solely come from just meat"? In my research, I found that 10 almonds contain the equivalent protein of 1 pound of meat. What you said about cost and enviro only furthers the point of meat consumption reduction globally!
@shady9321 This is a good indication however that meat is an excellent source of nutrients, as you and I have learned. Which is why in my personal beliefs I have no issue with eating meat for survival needs, but if we aren't nomadic or reliant on meat for good health, then what is the point in eating meat? Seems like a want, and fats are good, but when I think about the animals and the factories, that makes me distasteful of meat products to be honest.
@DigitalSauce I think we're both in agreement here about the badness (for lack of better term) of the animal killing floors and that killing for sustenance is fine in moderation, or something to that extent. I think I'll cut the convo. off here solely because many of your comments are getting flagged down and removed, so it's hard to keep up. If you want to continue this convo, private message is fine.
@shady9321 I completely agree that not all, nor most, of proteins come from just meat, but realistically I see that as a 'renewable' resource (with a loose definition), although all plants are and would ethically be always better to harvest rather than living animals. Personally, I like to eat meat because of the taste, it's just how I became accustomed to it while growing up (old habits die hard I guess). I wouldn't even know how to pull society off of its meat crutch from those factories.
@Reip187 Animals we kill for large food supply; this is done by mass producing animals in a slaughter house. I assume you have probably seen videos of the bad things that happen in such places. What I'm saying is what kind of a life for an animal is that? Why is it okay for that to be happening? It's happening for the sake of overconsumption, in our consumeristic world, so why not strive for change? Eat meat, just eat less, supporting the torture is supporting the torture.
@Reip187 Why do you think people want to protect those species? They are endangered because of our actions, yes we can look at it as "survival of the fittest", but I don't think we are exactly in competition with the primitive beings. Hence wanting to protect them. Preservation of life is the goal, how is consuming meat following that goal? Again, there is absolutely no NEED to consume flesh, only a WANT.
@DigitalSauce Just because there are a handful of species we are likely responsible for driving to the brink of extinction doesn't mean that we have done it to the very large number that are. Animals go extinct regularly because they cannot adapt to survive regardless of what we do. We don't hunt these animals anymore. We didn't realize what we were doing when we were either in regards to them being endangered. This is a futile debate for me and an emotional argument for you so let's stop.
@Reip187 I don't really care whether you want to argue it or not, if you don't want to I have absolutely no idea why you even bothered responding to my post to another person, who asked a question. Also, you failed to provide any reasoning to what I'm saying. All I see you doing is making excuses as to why you want to eat meat... And how is this emotional for me? Because I see humans doing something unnecessary and care to say something about it?
@Reip187 And, sorry for the lengthy reply, on the topic of plants being eaten... The consumption of plant life is essential to plant life survival. Plants can benefit in many ways, for example, there is a fruit which monkeys and birds consume and they defecate the seeds all over the forest, letting the plant thrive. Also, the natural fertilizer produced enriches the soil that their seeds/offspring will be growing in. It's as if their survival goal is to be eaten by the animals, they've adapated.
@DigitalSauce No worries about length. I just don't want to argue lol. There are many animals that have amazing little behaviors like that. There is a parasite that is born in a cat's stomach and then excreted. It can only live in the brain of a rat who is likely to dig around in the cate droppings. The parasite tricks the rat into not being afraid of the cat when it needs to reproduce and this ends up right back in the cat's stomach.

An excellent video. I saw you today in Gary's stickam room discussing the topic of Anti-natalism and I was wondering if you are a supporter of AN. Maybe you could make a video about it just to get the idea out there because so many people have never even heard about it and those who have think its a cult controlled by Inmendham. If you could make a video it would be great because you have almost 80k subs whereas Gary has like 10k. It would really help get the word out. Thanks :)
when there is no more racial, gender specific, sexual orientation or religious bigotry, when the threat of war does not persistently loom on the horizon, when theres a suitable substitute for sentient/mammalian beings that can be used for testing products, medicines and surgical techniques and they can make plants that have the texture, taste and properties of meat i will become a true supporter of "animal rights" until then let me have my burgers in peace! theres not much else to enjoy here >_>
What a brilliant video. I hate the disrespect we show other animals just because we have the power to disrespect them. It is just plain arrogance on our part.
We do still have human slaves to. We are slaves to the monetary system and lets not forget the mass exploitation in the 3rd world in order to help the developed countries improve economically. It is sickening. Tommy Hilfiger- $16,000/hr

Always find it funny to hear zealous atheists and scientific naturalists preach morals--and this, no less--in connection with the treatment of animals!
Hey, don't get me wrong; I have a cat which I am convinced loves me with all its little heart!
Though, if we are all the unintended products of a blind naturalistic process driven by random mutation and selection, why should we consider that any such "horror" enters into the discussion? I struggle for my niche, and the animals do the same.
humans intelligence is questionable as a whole. How can we have become the harbinger of our own misery and destruction and still call ourselves intelligent? At least animals can co-exist within nature.
@thetruevoiceofyaweh Them plants do not feel pain. I already proved that by my HighPressureMetalHalide Lamp, that the leaves of my plants would grow STRAIGHT into its light and its HEAT, respectively, and they would not the least care about their tips being continuously burned on their forthcoming.
@thetruevoiceofyaweh plants dont have a central nervous system...meaning, THEY CAN'T FEEL IT nor do they care, and plants generate fruit for the SOUL PURPOSE to be picked, so the seeds inside the fruit can be spread, why would a plant waste time and energy to create big juicy fruits for absolutely nothing? it doesn't make logical or scientific sense, creating fruit to appeal towards animals so the seeds inside will travel and spread, now THAT makes logical and scientific sense.
the difference between humans and other animals is simply our ability to contemplate our excistance... "why are we here", "whats the point of our excistance" and so on. thats it.
We are systematicly massmurdering sentient beeings everyday in order to eat them... and it's delicious
"The assumption that animals are without rights and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality"
-Schopenhauer
This video, and the effort exerted into its creation, is the keenest indication of a good person.
Using rats for testing is all good unless you are causing the rat pain. Also, some things I wanted to point out - animals show affection and do what seems to us like intelligent things because they are reacting to their instincts. They are not actually thinking about what they are doing. More intelligent animals like cats do to some extend and as you go up the chain, you get more consciousness and hence more actual thought. Ever see a dog show affection and then try and eat you? All instinct.
@ZOMGitsCriss That was a very Christian video.

What a beautiful message and video. Terms like 'animal' and 'human' are ultimately empty though--as taught by Buddha. We are all sentient beings, as your video aptly shows. Perhaps the term "god' is ultimately empty too. If god is imaginary, how much better would it be if people, instead of going to and giving to church, spent their time and money helping suffering beings?

I'm really sick of the superiority complex humans hold, hell, most of our accomplisments aren't even our own. How many modern humans do you think would be able to figure out how to do something as simple as making fire if they were thrown out into an environment where they had no ability to learn from their ancestors. We aren't more important or vastly superior to other animal, our intellectual status is more a result of the level at which we pass down knowledge, a very small intellectual feat.

Unfortunately the progress and well being of mankind often depended on exploiting "non-human slaves". Sometimes our very survival depends on killing certain animals. Maybe one day in a distant future utopian world we will no longer need to do this. Only a wealthy and scientifically advanced human society could have the luxury of extending rights to all animals.

The only reason we are so intelligent is cause we humans are extremely fragile. Or have we become so fragile because of our intelligence? Reguardless, Animals are capable of the same emotions we have, at least when it comes to warm blooded animals. I'm not sure if Reptiles have the same emotions. I grew up with dogs and also had an Amazon Parrot, nobody can tell me that animals don't have emotions and that many species don't have intelligence.

I've had people be cruel to me most of my life yet I still have lots of empathy.

If eating meat don't affect my health and other animals besides us humans do it, then why should I feel guilty for it.
biggsleezy 5 months ago
@biggsleezy The reason that humans should feel guilt is because of our capabilities. If you lived in the wild and had to trap and kill any animal for your survival needs, then by all means do it. If you (we as a species) are capable of cultivating a vegeterian meal while providing all of the necessary nutrients for the body (which we can), then there is no need to eat animals, only a want. Also, animal factories are just wrong and upsetting in themselves. Bottom line, it's a want not a need.
DigitalSauce 4 months ago
@DigitalSauce Plants are living things anyway, Plants don't supply proteins which helps in muscle development as much as they supply vitamins, so it doesn't make it anymore of a need that vegetables and fruits. Chimps don't just go "mmm, they're fruits here, I might as well just leave that monkey alone", they eat whatever that doesn't kill them, which includes meat. And this idea about banning animal factories, are you saying that we should all be hunters now?
biggsleezy 4 months ago
@biggsleezy Well you can get proteins from things like nuts and beans, and there are more sources than that. It's true that plants are living things as well, but the intelligence and emotions of plants is something left mostly unresearched. Meat is hard on your health, the body has trouble digesting it and it's full of hormones that we shouldn't consume. What you describe about chimpanzees is a survival technique, much like our forming of agriculture. You don't need to eat meat, it's a want.
DigitalSauce 4 months ago
@biggsleezy I would be fine with the consumption of meat if the practice occured significantly less often. I would also be fine if we didn't consume any form of meat, and it was completely healthy to do so. I have little issue with killing an animal for a celebratory function, but mass producing meat is torturous. Meat factories are disgusting, if we consumed less, agriculture wouldn't be an issue. Overhunting would be an issue.
DigitalSauce 4 months ago
@biggsleezy Hunting could work, but the monetary system, and the amount of people on this planet, doesn't allow it to. We have way too much of a chance to overhunt with poaching alone if meat consumption was banned. The options we are left with in our current state is either ban meat consumption outright, or farm and consume a considerably lesser amount. I personally don't like killing animals because they are helpless to escaping the fate, unlike in nature where they all have their strengths.
DigitalSauce 4 months ago
@DigitalSauce Since we don't know how intelligent plants are we can just assume it is OK to kill and eat them, but animals is another story?
We are in nature. Animals have certainly adapted to avoid us. Most of us, a very large majority in fact, don't kill animals for the hell of it. We use them for food, and for things to provide shelter.
Something never mentioned is that we as humans PROTECT endangered animals. No other species would do this.

@Reip187 I'm not saying to assume anything is okay. The reason we don't know about that is the same reason we mistreat animals. However, all energy that every animal receives comes from plants.

What about pollution, overdevelopment, poaching, sport, boredom..? I'm not sure what point you are arguing.
DigitalSauce 4 months ago
@DigitalSauce SOME people do that. Not most people. We are much more aware of species counts now and we try very hard not to endanger them. We can't just hunt anything we want in the U.S. You have to even get a license to hunt deer, and you are only able to kill so many. We actually regulate their populations. Without hunting them they would overrun us and cause all kinds of other problems.

@DigitalSauce What else do carnivorous animals eat? They as well as our species can't survive solely on just plants all of the time. Meat and it's protein are always required for some things. As long as an animal is killed for purpose, like the Eskimos do and use every part for survival, then it's fine. We are omnivores and can't survive without meat, or the artificial supplements for vegans who try to go without it.
shady9321 4 months ago
@shady9321 We are omnivorous given we have the capability of eating from both food sources. What information is stating that humans need to eat meat? I'm legitimately interested. You're also not disagreeing with me, I was saying that the meat consumption of today is completely unecessary, regardless of do we need meat or not, animal factories are a crime against nature. That's all I was trying to say, Reip187 took my words out of context. I wouldn't expect anyone to read that argument though.
DigitalSauce 4 months ago
@DigitalSauce I would agree that the factories are crimes against humanity, but seem to be essential for our industrialized nation. Although our society surely could suffice without it, many cities are too dependent on such places and couldn't initially handle the brunt force of fallout caused by removing them; that's a whole other issue I wouldn't know how to tackle. Humans do need proteins for proper growth and functioning, which can come from meat and not from plants.
shady9321 4 months ago
@shady9321 I definitely could see what you are saying about factories as becoming a reality. But that is only because of a lack of proper education. Proteins on the other hand are not obtained solely from meat. You can get proteins from things like beans or almonds, that's inarguable. Apparently (currently reading about it), one of the only arguments left is that of vitamin B12, people say it only comes from meat. It however truthfully comes from bacteria, therefore many things; soil, yeast etc.
DigitalSauce 4 months ago
@DigitalSauce I agree completely that there isn't even close to a majority of proteins that solely come from just meat, and I would also infer here that plants are always a better resource to harvest because of cost, enivro. impact, and the lack of ethics for plants. I only stand from the side where vegans become devoid of some health in cases because they don't always receive the same nutrients that meats can have, like Omega 3 in fish. I might finally go read 'The Jungle' by Upton Sinclair.

@shady9321 This is a good indication however that meat is an excellent source of nutrients, as you and I have learned. Which is why in my personal beliefs I have no issue with eating meat for survival needs, but if we aren't nomadic or reliant on meat for good health, then what is the point in eating meat? Seems like a want, and fats are good, but when I think about the animals and the factories, that makes me distasteful of meat products to be honest.

@DigitalSauce I think we're both in agreement here about the badness (for lack of better term) of the animal killing floors and that killing for sustenance is fine in moderation, or something to that extent. I think I'll cut the convo. off here solely because many of your comments are getting flagged down and removed, so it's hard to keep up. If you want to continue this convo, private message is fine.

@shady9321 I completely agree that not all, nor most, of proteins come from just meat, but realistically I see that as a 'renewable' resource (with a loose definition), although all plants are and would ethically be always better to harvest rather than living animals. Personally, I like to eat meat because of the taste, it's just how I became accustomed to it while growing up (old habits die hard I guess). I wouldn't even know how to pull society off of its meat crutch from those factories.

@Reip187 Animals we kill for large food supply; this is done by mass producing animals in a slaughter house. I assume you have probably seen videos of the bad things that happen in such places. What I'm saying is what kind of a life for an animal is that? Why is it okay for that to be happening? It's happening for the sake of overconsumption, in our consumeristic world, so why not strive for change? Eat meat, just eat less, supporting the torture is supporting the torture.

@Reip187 Why do you think people want to protect those species? They are endangered because of our actions, yes we can look at it as "survival of the fittest", but I don't think we are exactly in competition with the primitive beings. Hence wanting to protect them. Preservation of life is the goal, how is consuming meat following that goal? Again, there is absolutely no NEED to consume flesh, only a WANT.

@DigitalSauce Just because there are a handful of species we are likely responsible for driving to the brink of extinction doesn't mean that we have done it to the very large number that are. Animals go extinct regularly because they cannot adapt to survive regardless of what we do. We don't hunt these animals anymore. We didn't realize what we were doing when we were either in regards to them being endangered. This is a futile debate for me and an emotional argument for you so let's stop.

@Reip187 I don't really care whether you want to argue it or not, if you don't want to I have absolutely no idea why you even bothered responding to my post to another person, who asked a question. Also, you failed to provide any reasoning to what I'm saying. All I see you doing is making excuses as to why you want to eat meat... And how is this emotional for me? Because I see humans doing something unnecessary and care to say something about it?

@Reip187 And, sorry for the lengthy reply, on the topic of plants being eaten... The consumption of plant life is essential to plant life survival. Plants can benefit in many ways, for example, there is a fruit which monkeys and birds consume and they defecate the seeds all over the forest, letting the plant thrive. Also, the natural fertilizer produced enriches the soil that their seeds/offspring will be growing in. It's as if their survival goal is to be eaten by the animals, they've adapated.

@DigitalSauce No worries about length. I just don't want to argue lol. There are many animals that have amazing little behaviors like that. There is a parasite that is born in a cat's stomach and then excreted. It can only live in the brain of a rat who is likely to dig around in the cate droppings. The parasite tricks the rat into not being afraid of the cat when it needs to reproduce and this ends up right back in the cat's stomach.

An excellent video. I saw you today in Gary's stickam room discussing the topic of Anti-natalism and I was wondering if you are a supporter of AN. Maybe you could make a video about it just to get the idea out there because so many people have never even heard about it and those who have think its a cult controlled by Inmendham. If you could make a video it would be great because you have almost 80k subs whereas Gary has like 10k. It would really help get the word out. Thanks :)

when there is no more racial, gender specific, sexual orientation or religious bigotry, when the threat of war does not persistently loom on the horizon, when theres a suitable substitute for sentient/mammalian beings that can be used for testing products, medicines and surgical techniques and they can make plants that have the texture, taste and properties of meat i will become a true supporter of "animal rights" until then let me have my burgers in peace! theres not much else to enjoy here >_>

What a brilliant video. I hate the disrespect we show other animals just because we have the power to disrespect them. It is just plain arrogance on our part.
We do still have human slaves to. We are slaves to the monetary system and lets not forget the mass exploitation in the 3rd world in order to help the developed countries improve economically. It is sickening. Tommy Hilfiger- $16,000/hr

Always find it funny to hear zealous atheists and scientific naturalists preach morals--and this, no less--in connection with the treatment of animals!
Hey, don't get me wrong; I have a cat which I am convinced loves me with all its little heart!
Though, if we are all the unintended products of a blind naturalistic process driven by random mutation and selection, why should we consider that any such "horror" enters into the discussion? I struggle for my niche, and the animals do the same.

@thetruevoiceofyaweh plants dont have a central nervous system...meaning, THEY CAN'T FEEL IT nor do they care, and plants generate fruit for the SOUL PURPOSE to be picked, so the seeds inside the fruit can be spread, why would a plant waste time and energy to create big juicy fruits for absolutely nothing? it doesn't make logical or scientific sense, creating fruit to appeal towards animals so the seeds inside will travel and spread, now THAT makes logical and scientific sense.

the difference between humans and other animals is simply our ability to contemplate our excistance... "why are we here", "whats the point of our excistance" and so on. thats it.

Using rats for testing is all good unless you are causing the rat pain. Also, some things I wanted to point out - animals show affection and do what seems to us like intelligent things because they are reacting to their instincts. They are not actually thinking about what they are doing. More intelligent animals like cats do to some extend and as you go up the chain, you get more consciousness and hence more actual thought. Ever see a dog show affection and then try and eat you? All instinct.
