This woman is my hero, even without being Autistic she is amazing, she hits the nail on the head, about how we can still respect and use ethical treatment on those animals which feed and cloth us, even as they go to their death! Her amazing revolutionary ideas have helped to change the cattle industry!

@reginaangel Once again, someone comparing human life to animal life.

[reginaangel]

somehow I think you can only expect a animal to die for you, so you can eat it, ... I mean it is easier if you do not appreciate life as much as you should. What would you say if your best friend says to you: Come on...kill me and eat me, you look hungry....

I am not critisizing... I am just thinking on it myself.

@OriginalMindTrick I guess End of discussion does not translate well in your country. Perhaps take a Midol will? Cheers!.

@AnywhereButHere09

You never explained why a plant should be treated with the same respect and kindness as a human, and the reason you haven't done so is that you haven't any good arguments what so ever for this case. You are so stuck in that theory (like a religious person) that no type of logical argument can penetrate your armor of bullshit. This is like debating an insane person.

[AnywhereButHere09]

@OriginalMindTrick YES! Now you understand. And many people DO see this, you are mistaken. We are ALLl "guilty", and that's the point I was pressing home to vegans and others who act saintly about their eating habits. We are all in the same boat.  We should show respect and kindness to all living things. Period! End of discussion.....

[OriginalMindTrick]

@AnywhereButHere09

So you have come up with your own theory that all life have equal importance, and that vegans who eat plants are just as immoral as someone who eat dead animals. You can't expect any clear thinking human to respect that point of view. As a meat eater myself I can at least see my own immoral behavior in eating animals that have been treated badly and suffered pains in order to feed me. It just a damn shame animals taste really good, and have some nutritional edge over plants.

[AnywhereButHere09]

@OriginalMindTrick  I think very clearly, thank you. I never mentioned anything about wellbeing issues, did I? No. I stated the death of a living entitiy being the issue and vegetarianism... That is my statement here on this video, no more no less. You are the one missing the point entirely and trying to win an "argument." It is merely a statement to encourage thinking outside the box.

[OriginalMindTrick]

@AnywhereButHere09

I'm really asking this:

What's more important than the wellbeing of conscious creatures?

[OriginalMindTrick]

@AnywhereButHere09

At least science have come so far that we certainly know plants don't have the capability to experience higher emotions such as pain. If we throw all science and all accumulated knowledge on morality in the garbage like you seem to have done we can argue that the life of bacteria is as precious as a pig or a human. Simply walking on the ground would mean a holocaust of insect and plants just as important as yourself. You are obviously not thinking clearly and logically.

[AnywhereButHere09]

@OriginalMindTrick Not talking about pain, talking about ending the life of anything. It did not fulfill its purpose if you popped a sprout in your mouth, it did not grow. That is the point, and we do not know what a plant feels, we don't have that technology. It is only a guess based on our own neurologics. To keep us from starving to death, science has to justify something as "ok." I too am autistic and see things differently....Animals eat each other, and no remorse......
