 Hello everyone, welcome to another video. In this video, I thought I would address the insipid, repugnant, crop-dead's argument once and for all. I just went for a run, got my head shaved here, thought I'd shave my head because barbers are short, so I always used to shave my head and, yeah, thought keep fresh and clean. Crop-dead's argument. Now people think they're so smart when they drop this. Oh, vegans kill animals too, like it's the first time we've ever heard that ever. Like I hear that 45 times a day and what baffles me is that when people say this, they think they've got a, oh, gotcha, we gotcha vegans, we gotcha, you kill animals too by existing, so veganism is completely debunked. Now these people have never looked up the vegan society definition of veganism. Don't look at the dictionary definition of a vegan. Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude as far as is possible and practicable all forms of exploitation of and cruelty to animals for food, clothing or any other purpose. So two things here, as far as is possible and practicable and all forms of exploitation of and cruelty to. Now exploitation, the animals in those crops are not being exploited like the cows in a dairy farm are being exploited, used, abused, used for the benefit of the oppressor. These animals are free and they started living in this crop and a combine harvest that might come along. They get a chance to escape. They have a chance to escape. Those pigs in that varrowing shed are being exploited. They never see the light of day and they're only escape. Their only chance to escape is when they get a bolt gun in the sky when you eat their body parts and flush them down the toilet after you've shit them out. That's a lot different to what goes on in a crop when they're being harvested as far as is possible and practicable. Does that mean shoot yourself in the head because you're always going to cause some type of harm? No it doesn't. People who eat meat, cheese, milk and eggs are obtaining these products from animals who were fed plants. They ain't living on air these animals. Now what people imagine I suspect is that when they see cows on the grass they think they're just eating the pasture. All of these animals the chickens, the pigs which you never see, you never see the pigs on grass do you? They're always in sheds or you think they're pasture raising pigs and pasture finishing pigs and grass finishing pigs in sheds? What do you think these pigs, chickens, cows, farmed fish are eating? They're eating plants. Now if you're going to use the argument against a vegan and go well you know like you're eating plants and they use pesticides on those plants and combine harvesters oh they rip up those massive fields of wheat and they're killing all these animals and the mice are being exposed to predators and the farmers are shooting animals on these crops and they're trapping animals to keep them away from the crops and they're killing wild animals to keep them away from the crops if you're going to use that argument against a vegan but we can use that argument to tenfold a hundredfold a thousandfold back to you because all those animals on earth being bred for food at any one time 74 billion land animals being killed for food each year by human beings right and trillions of marine animals but just the land animals alone out outnumber us ten times tenfold okay and these animals they eat magnitudes more food and water that we do magnitudes more food now that all that food is being grown in crops the vast majority the vast vast majority of crop land is grown to feed the animals you eat so any crop death any pesticide harm any predator shooting any of that is magnified magnified by huge amounts when you eat animal products when you eat a steak the crop deaths in a steak is magnitudes more i can't even think of the number i mean we could try to do the mass but we don't have to we don't have to do the mass okay a two-year-old uh beef cow or a six-year-old dairy cow six years dairy cow six years of eating grains and before you dare say grass fed though i only eat grass fed cows i only drink grass fed dairy my my chickens are free range so they only eat the pasture that is a load of nonsense okay grass fed cows are eating harvested hay i've looked up all of these like you know you you you most oh like oh i went through australia um america uk all these pasture fed you know cattle uh pasture fed cattle assurance australia far pasture fed livestock association here's here's a little uh note from american grass fed so here we go forage protocol if you think oh well my cows are grass fed so they never incur crop deaths because that is what they're doing is they're just eating the the pasture they're grown they live on this pasture right they eat the pasture and then they they get taken to the slaughterhouse from the pasture so their pasture raised and pasture finished they just they graze on the grass that's nonsense they don't they don't in winter they're kept indoors and they're fed uh grasses this is the top of the line most people ain't eating this most most uh cattle they might be grass fed for a certain amount of time but they're they're grain finished in feed lots okay so they're eating a bunch of grain so there's your crop deaths are giving out the window if you're eating beef so even this super high quality grass fed grass finished um beef like let's just say this is their guidelines here grass and forage must be the feed source can consume for the lifetime of the ruminant except for milk consume prior to weaning the diet must be derived solely from forage appropriate to the species okay grass annual and perennial okay now that grass do you think that grass is coming from this the the pasture are they growing that hay and harvesting have you seen those big blocks of hay you ever drive past the farm see those big massive big huge sheds full of hay where do you think they got that they harvested it they harvested that hay okay crop deaths pesticide use what what else what do you think and that's what they feed in your grass fed cattle no crop deaths okay forbs what's this forbs oh that's leg legumes and brassicas more plant foods been fed to these cattle more plant foods magnitudes more than a human could eat you ever seen the size of a cow cereal grain cop crops harvested in the pre-dose stage stage so what they do is they grow grains right and when they're just before they grain they harvest them so they're pre-grain crops they are pre-grain crops so they're they're they're growing these cereal grains and they're harvested and harvesting them before their grain so before they get turned to grain so it's still counted as grass fed so they're using all of this land to grow cereal grain crops then they're harvesting them before they they start to grain so that all that grain could be used to feed humans and you wouldn't even need like you you could reduce the farmland on earth by 75 percent if we adopted a vegan diet and that was Joseph poor from Oxford Oxford University after doing all that research but we could reduce our farmland by magnitudes if we all ate plant foods but the point is they're growing all these grasses and pre-grain crops that they're harvesting them before they even grain just to feed to cows so you can have your grass fed steak all right which is concurrent crop deaths pesticide use predators are being hunted by the the farmers all of these things are happening for the for the for these the top of the line the top of the line pasture raised grass finished beef you fight like I've looked into this you look into this Australia Britain if you're buying your top of the line grass fed it's super expensive no one can afford it it can't feed the population ponsy grass murdered animal they are all fed by these guidelines forage protocol okay so it includes all of these things so there's your grass only grass fed so it doesn't incur crop deaths because they they they live on the pasture you don't you haven't even looked into what you're eating yourself this crop deaths argument is repugnant and it's easily debunked when you when you eat vegan like you can you can of course you know there there's worse crop farmers to support and better crop farmers to support when vegans are in charge of crop farming that'll be great veganic farming is what we should move into um we wouldn't have the need for massive mono crops like the way that we're doing it now if we didn't have 74 billion land animals to feed that's just insane ridiculous that these problems are magnified thousands fold because of eating animal products you know chickens what do you think chickens are eating grain what do you think the chickens that are laying your eggs are eating grain tons and tons and tons and tons of grain that environmental destruction in the amazon you know that grain that soy they're growing in the amazon are like a large majority of it is used to feed chickens so chickens your your habit for eating chicken flesh is causing the destruction in the rainforest anyway i'm an animal rights activist so this is an animal rights um topic for me now if you're going to use that argument against vegans you better check yourself because vegans are doing their best to minimize that type of harm now i want to leave you with this question when you pay someone to stab someone to death to eat their body okay you pay someone to stab an animal in the throat cut their throat open and chop them up into a billion pieces so you can eat their body parts right is that really the same as buying a piece of tofu is that really the same in on the in the moral plane do you really think that me paying a hit man to murder someone is the same as me buying some rice which incurred some crop death when you pay for animal products it is as direct as you paying the the the wholesaler one or two steps away is a bolt gun in an animal skull that's how direct it is when you eat plant foods you cause magnitudes less indirect harm to animals you cause magnitudes less crop deaths if you think this grass-fed thing is like oh we cause no crop deaths they're giving them harvested crops like i said brassicas and pre-grain crops same shit this argument needs to be put to rest because it's just going to get destroyed over and over and over again if if you see a bunch of people who are protesting pedophiles and child abusers why don't you just walk up to them and go oh what's your problem why are you protesting against child abuse and children being tortured and killed don't you know that you know that bread that you ate that also kills animals so morality doesn't exist because there's no different levels of morality it's all as bad as each other me paying someone to shoot someone in the face is exactly the same as me buying a bag of rice me buying a computer is exactly the same as paying for an animal to be raped and killed so i can eat their body and steal their breast milk and murder their infant it's exactly the same there's there's no differences there's no levels to morality here that like morality shouldn't even actually exist because when i bought this camera it was exactly the same thing as paying someone to shoot someone in the face you know what i mean that's how insane you sound when you go well i'm gonna continue eating a dead body of an animal who was tortured and killed for me because you've got an iphone or vegans kill animals too or just by existing you're gonna be causing some harm so you can't ever be 100 percent vegan even though they haven't looked up the definition of vegan ever in their life so anyway there's a lot more things to go into here um but i'm just gonna keep it like that so if you've never seen um this this is the number of animals killed to produce one million calories in eight food categories this was the research conducted um on the total amount of um harvesting deaths to the deaths of slaughter for each product here um you can look at that as well that might give you some interesting information but don't claim to give a shit about animals in any way if you're eating their dead body thanks for tuning in guys hope you're staying safe with all this coronavirus stuff hope you like my new haircut um i harvested my hair here see cut it off and i'll see yous all in the next video peace
