 Alright so here we are with Paris AV. So amazing that wherever we go on earth there's always a cube of truth in the middle of whatever city it is. It's just amazing how far this has spread. People standing there doing outreach with individuals who probably have never seen anything like what happens in a slaughterhouse before. Just worldwide viral vegan education. It's so good to see. Just walking up to it is just inspirational. I love it. There's a fire inside your heart and let it light up the world. Oh brother, thank you so much. Thanks to you that I'm beginning. Wow, that's awesome. Oh you got a vegan hat. This isn't my vegan hat. Yeah. Do you care about the oceans? Yeah so basically animal agriculture contributes to every major environmental destruction we face. Leading cause of Amazon deforestation, ocean dead zones, global warming, land use, water use. All these animals need food to eat and they grow the grain. 50% of the world's grain is fed to animals in livestock production. We have starving people in countries that don't have food. And also the abuse that's inherent in the industry can't be avoided. They are all, no matter how high a welfare slaughterhouse you go to, a bulk gun in the head slashed across the throat and dismembered into pieces. Sentient life, like all other species they want to live. Desire a life of freedom and we take that from them when we purchase animal products. So the reason we talk to consumers is because talking to industry when they're making money off of demand is impossible. They won't change. Why would they? Talking to consumers though changes where the money goes and we boycott these industries and essentially they stop doing this to animals and the planet. And that's our only hope is basically consumers. Really hard. It was difficult. It was hard to get here. He was environmentalist but I couldn't bring anything out. Come out of there. Why does the rainforest matter? Why does the rainforest matter? For oxygen. Also habitat for those native tribes there in Brazil in particular. Because it impacts us directly. So we care about human beings and our sentient life. He said he cared about the rainforest and I said well why does the rainforest matter? He said because of our oxygen. So you care about human sentient life. And I said for the same reasons you care about human sentient life we extend that to other sentient life. We extend that same care that we do for human sentient life to other sentient life as well. The rainforest obviously a lot of different species live in the rainforest. You know chimpanzees and monkeys and tigers and elephants. But we would say like yeah they're all important species. Human beings are an important species but cows, pigs, chickens, lambs, fish. The way they see reality is not too much different to the way these other animals do in the way that we do. Too much of a jump. He couldn't, he was human supremacist in his value system. So it's hard. You planted a seed meat? Yes. I did. He was very careful. He did. Halfway through 14 countries, just me and my man over there, Abdullah, the legendary cameraman, the man behind the camera. Do you understand what vegan is? Yes. You know what vegan means? Yes. But I love meat but when I watch this it's awful. I used to love meat too. I used to like the taste. I used to like the taste. But then when I see how it's made it makes me feel sick and I feel bad for the animals. Yeah I feel guilty. Exactly. Yeah. Put yourself in the animals body and imagine what it would feel like for them if it were you. When we pay for meat, you pay for animals to be hurt. If you don't pay, these places shut down. There are persons who don't know what it is and they will always be people who will eat it. But you won't. Do you hurt people? No. Why? There's always going to be people who hurt people. If you stop hurting people, it won't change everything but it'll change in your life. You won't be hurting animals anymore. Okay. Yeah it's hard. So it's called appealing to futility when someone says if they stop consuming animal products, this is still going to happen. You can't stop all the violence so why should I stop? But you could apply that same reasoning in the human context and say look, I mean people are always going to abuse their wife or abuse children or abuse dogs and cats. So why should I stop? People would never apply that same justification in the human context because it would sound ridiculous. We stop in our own lives because we adhere to a moral system and why should that moral system change when it comes to animals? Just shouldn't. Every single person here in that cube, every single vegan you see here, grew up eating the flesh of animals. But I think children of the future don't have to grow up. Only if you make a change now and you teach. It's hard for everyone. It's hard but let's just talk, don't worry about everyone. Let's just talk about you, the power you have. You have this power. I swear I try. Well I mean I can see you have a big heart. You're a compassionate person that makes you sad because you feel what they feel and that's good. That's what I do too. It hurts my heart every day and instead of now I try to convince people to stop doing this to them because you're our only hope. You're their only hope. The animals only hope. This here. Challenge 22. You can try a vegan lifestyle where every time I think of eating meat when I first went vegan, I think of the animals and I don't call it meat anymore. You know what I call it? Animals. I think of who I'm eating, not what I'm eating. Who was I appreciate that. Good one. I feel like I'm in such a good mood right now considering we're so tired. Like I was so tired before. Like I felt like death warmed up. Now I feel like Gary Orofsky on outreach. Without our money this doesn't happen. Thank you. Dude like I'm trying to get a card out.
