GO VEGAN - Slaughter House

PLEASE CLICK THE CC BUTTON BEFORE WATCHING! Also, READ THIS ARTICLE (link below) BEFORE COMMENTING! It answers EVERY argument people make against vegans. It's also entirely FACT based, it's NOT opinion:

Also, watch this- Sir Paul McCartney's "If Slaughterhouses Had Glass Walls. Among other things it shows that "stunning" does not kill an animal or always render it unconscious prior to slaughter:

There are endless reasons to become vegan. The most urgent, to humans, is the fact that meat production produces more global warming gases than all the cars, trucks, trains, ships, planes, on earth- combined (this according to UN and industry statistics).

Another obvious fact is that it's horrifically cruel to the animals. And animals do feel pain, have a sense of self, feel emotions, etc, just like humans. So causing them unnecessary pain is a true ethical concern.

It is also unhealthy for humans to consume meat and dairy products, and meat and dairy production waste irreplaceable natural resources and feed fewer people than if we simply raised vegan food. Plus, by going vegan, we'd be able to feed the 20,000-30,000 impoverished people who die daily due to starvation related disease. Meat production uses more resources and land and yields far less food than farming a vegan diet.

This is NOT opinion, it's all sound scientific fact based on peer reviewed scientific research and simple math.

Farming and consuming meat is NOT a sustainable practice, therefor it cannot continue. So, if you care about anything at all, do the right thing and go vegan. Now.

Your body will thank you, the animals will thank you, the planet will thank you, the 30,000 people who starve to death daily due to wealthy western nations growing meat rather than a vegan diet will thank you.

A senior UN official and co-author of a UN report detailing this problem, Henning Steinfeld, said "Livestock are one of the most significant contributors to today's most serious environmental problems". Livestock production occupies 70% of all land used for agriculture, or 30% of the land surface of the planet. It is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gases, responsible for 18% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions as measured in CO2 equivalents. By comparison, all transportation emits 13.5% of the CO2. It produces 65% of human-related nitrous oxide (which has 296 times the global warming potential of CO2,) and 37% of all human-induced methane (which is 23 times as warming as CO2. It also generates 64% of the ammonia, which contributes to acid rain and acidification of ecosystems. Livestock expansion is cited as a key factor driving deforestation, in the Amazon basin 70% of previously forested area is now occupied by pastures and the remainder used for feedcrops. Through deforestation and land degradation, livestock is also driving reductions in biodiversity.

How about this.

If you aren't a vegetarian, shut the fuck up.

If you are a vegetarian, shut the fuck up.

@AnimeGirl5445 How about this- if you are going to comment with something useless and stupid, like you just did, or are going to comment by trying to pass off baseless personal opinion as fact, like the meat eaters do, then shut the fuck up.

But, if you are going to comment with something based on fact, then feel free to comment.

What is the machine doing to them?

[LAMtv]

@nboy24 The machine essentially holds them in place & moves them around to enable the people to stun it, & then, often while still conscious, the animal is moved so it can be string up by the legs & cut into pieces, See the Paul McCartney video "If Slaughterhouses had Glass Walls" for proof that animals are still alive and conscious while they are cut apart (I mention this because many meat eating apologists say the animals are "painlessly" killed before being cut apart. That is a lie).

[fuckingsickadventure]

@tymonday Yes. the main point is those carnivores need to eat animals to survive. We do not.

[fuckingsickadventure]

@Think1ndependent That's an obvious abuse of power. Oh how if the tables were turned..

[fuckingsickadventure]

@MrKatanaKid Because if slaughter houses/dairy farms had glass walls, we'd all be vegan. We are just helping people make conscious decisions based on reality not on myths. We take down the walls in order for you to see, then it is up to you what to do after being exposed. The decision between the blue pill and the red pill is up to you. would you like to live comfortably imprisoned in your own blissful ignorance of illusion or face the sharp, painful truth of reality.

[fuckingsickadventure]

@tamenzaihecha1 Oh no I am going to die?! Oh wait, I should of died years ago...(what you are referring to is b12, a bacteria that grows in animals stomach. It is widely available in pill form and in specialized foods.)

and Yeah don't worry about an animals complex social life, they are just crops. Just as africans are just tools/slaves. Just as women are just sex objects. Slaves are MY workers. Women are MY servers. Animals are MY food.

[fuckingsickadventure]

@enisorian If you cannot see the distinctions between a plant and an animal, I suggest you retake basic science.

[fuckingsickadventure]

@garrrynec You obviously get off to pain, suffering, and power over the helpless. Maybe you should address this.

[LAMtv]

@Shaprika But I'm the same height as you but thinner (naturally, genetically) and am perfectly healthy. There are many pro-athletes who are vegan. Here's an ESPN articles ona few American athletes who are vegan: h t t p : / / es(dot)pn/h9G4rt replace "(dot)" with "."

Body builders: nyti(dot)ms/yZowWb

Also, Google List Of Vegans - a page will come up for Wikipedia. That shows some pro athletes who are vegan (and I'm actually on that list too). You can be vegan and feel great.

@Shaprika Hello, well I've seen a lot of meat eaters who look and feel tired and sick, too. I've also seen plenty of vegans who are healthy and energetic looking. If you can spot vegans without their knowledge then that's a magical talent! But chances are you have run simply across one or two kids who "don't eat meat" BUT perhaps they simply cut meat form their diet rather than replaced it. That might explain any health issues they had. (continued net post due to YouTube text limit))
