Ellen DeGeneres on being vegan

A snippet of Ellen DeGeneres' interview with Katie Couric, in which she talks about her reasons for going vegan and the documentaries 'Earthlings' and 'Food Inc'.

Sorry for crappy quality, she says some really smart stuff here and just wanted to post it up by itself!

"Most dairy cows don't even pay attention to their calves after they are cleaned." That's a blatant lie. Cows do not just produce milk for the hell of it. The only way to keep a cow lactating is to repeatedly impregnate her. The cow gives birth; the calf is ripped away to become veal, causing both of them emotional stress. The milk (meant for the calf) is taken for humans; and the cow is impregnated again. Dairy is rape, so yes, you did mistreat your cows.

Earthlings inspired me to go vegan after being vegetarian for years.

Thank you for speaking up for animal rights. It's not a quick death and an informative book "By any Greens neccessar" is very informative. I do it because I love animals, too.

I love you and totally agree with you, Ellen.

Keep going!

Wish you always be happy and peaceful. :)

@tryandlike Probably because you posted a broken link.... "page not found"

@TheRealThreeP I love how this response addresses none of the points I made. It's a purely emotional and ignorant reaction to the fact that someone is challenging the way you see yourself and the world. You think "this meat tastes good to me, therefore nothing else could be more important than me shoving mass amounts of it into my obese face." Nothing about how you are affecting other creatures, the planet or your own health. And if you don't want to be judged, don't comment on vegan videos. :)

@TheRealThreeP They're dead because of people like you who support the industry. Supply and demand. And when your diet causes pain and suffering, you don't deserve that courtesy.

[TheRealThreeP]

@xoxamyyyy Moot point. They're already dead. And since I don't judge you on your diet, I insist on the same courtesy.

@TheRealThreeP You may not kill any animals directly, but by contributing to the meat industry, you are responsible for their deaths. You are paying someone else to kill the animals for you. Your money goes towards torture and death.
