 It's hard to watch how our food is made these pigs here. Are you from here Germany? No, I'm from the u.s. I'm from the u.s Oh, wow, so it's even worse Well, yeah, it's pretty bad everywhere. Yeah, you've got these in the u.s. Oh, I Don't know if you've seen these before What are they? What's this? What are they in a cage? Where does it go this cage? Maybe once they get killed They're not babies. These are six months old. These are this is the right age for people to eat They get lowered into gas. This is a gas chamber And they scream at the bottom and they try they try to escape and they rip their own arms off So one of the most efficient humane methods for killing pigs They got a gas chamber two hours outside here Berlin. I have them in Australia the UK I'm sure they have them in America as well. I Used to eat these animals for many years, but now no way This is a free vegan challenge. You can do it on Facebook. Yeah, I was a vegan for like six months You were a vegan yeah, I was and then it wasn't even the meat It wasn't eating animal products. So it's not well not eating meat was the easy part honestly like milk products Is what the dairy? I mean, it's everything There's a lot of dairy and they sprinkle it for out everywhere. It's also one of the cruelest products on earth Do you know why it's cruel? Why they separate the young from the mother? Because they will drink the milk otherwise they kill the boys because boys don't produce milk So sometimes they kill them on the first day of life smash them on the head with a hammer chuck them in the bin Or grow them for veal later on the females Artificially inseminated have you seen how they do that? No They stick a fist inside of their anus to hold the cervix They stick a tube full of bull semen inside of them when they're about a year old then they Have they have a baby after you know holding this baby in their stomach from nine months they're separated from them and They mourn the loss of their child and this repeats for about five or six or seven years They exploit them for their milk and then they go to a slaughterhouse to be butchered for their bodies This is the dairy industry Yeah, it's horrible I feel like the chicken is even worse though Chickens? Yeah, I mean they're all bad. Look, look, it's a competition which one's worse Oh no, no, no. Yeah, but I agree Chick, even fish if you want to go to the most exploited and abused animal on earth, it's fish Two to two point seven trillion marine animals every year torn out the ocean suffocated stabbed, you know murdered essentially Fish that's huge numbers. It's only 74 billion land animals Yeah So veganism isn't a diet, you know that right? Yeah, it's a moral principle that extends out to diet Yeah, so it's a moral principle against the abuse and exploitation of animals. Yeah simply People have the idea that veganism is a diet, but it really isn't no Yeah, like I don't really use like animal products or anything like that Yeah other than now But you adhered to the moral principle. No. Yeah, wait. Did you hold the moral principle as a belief? Yeah, that's what caused it like caused me to stop eating So you go against your own morals now, I think most people do to some sense Like there are so many things that would be considered wrong on a day-to-day basis You can't adhere to every single one of them or you would live a life That would be in pursuit of that and nothing else But you can adhere to the moral principle veganism because you did it for six months. Yeah Yeah, so, you know, it's achievable But inside now you now you every time like you go for an animal product over a vegan product You sort of be like well I would like I've been vegan for five years if I went against that I'd be in my heart feel Really torn like it would be because I hold it so dearly like like I hold dearly like I'm against the abuse of other human beings and children as well If I started abusing children or participating in the abuse of children I would be I would feel really Like it would hurt my conscience a lot You know I mean like it and I feel like animals are on par with children in their innocence and vulnerability as well Just six months old pigs, you know, I mean Six-week-old chickens slaughtered at six weeks old Birds Now well, you already know all this anyway, I don't want to I don't want to rip into you anymore Maybe you can try the vegan challenge again and get back on the Yeah, but it's a moral principle you can't become active you can't adhere to morals and then you know go against them and get back onto them and you know You study ethics you study ethics animal ethics Yeah, yeah, I Mean obviously there's indirect harm we can't avoid but there is definitely avoidable Direct slavery and harm we can avoid, you know No, you're not. No, you're strong enough That's not even that but no no two weeks for cheese But there's so many vegan junk foods That's a good that's a good position to have you know, it's wrong, but yeah But you you do it anyway Do you feel like um, I don't know do you feel like inconsistent in your like when I I knew for six months about this before I changed Felt like I was living like this hypocrisy in my heart and then when I um aligned my beliefs and actions I felt like I was in alignment and consistent and I had that like that discomfort went away the cognitive sort of dissonance of You know my actions contradicting my moral belief No, no, I don't think you were I mean So are you in your heart, but you know, I mean, I guess it's how I determined you on how much of a desire you have to adhere to your Own moral standard when it comes to the abuse of the innocent I mean so easy to avoid dairy and especially like in America. I don't know where we're bats in America. You're from No, even for them like animal products are a luxury Animal products are a luxury Then rice and vegetable But like rice lentils beans legumes fruits a lot the cheapest foods in the supermarkets They're vegetarian There's a few vegans in India, but most of them are vegetarian They have mass dairy farms over there like big mega dairies and they say they hold the cow so sacred But all those cows get exported to be murdered for their body Because so they're one of the biggest beef exporters and the biggest leather producers in India where they worship cows Because of the dairy industry both they come from the dairy cows Which is crazy when you think about it We're trying to convince people to stop harming animals you can join us if you like These are all over the world these AV chapters This is anonymous for the voiceless. They're all over the world. I'll travel around the world follow them around and yeah These happen everywhere I feel you I feel you you'll get back on it soon. I hope Today today What is this machine? It's a machine What does it do? Do you think what do what does this machine do? Do you know? Yeah, how? With gas. This is a gas chamber gas chamber Yeah, they scream at the bottom they hit the gas they try to escape see
