 All right, what's up everyone so we just okay, so we just got back from the vegan outreach night if you If you're in France, you've got to do baguette. Okay? We've got baguette We also got about four packets of this seitan from the vegan shop and We've got some chickpeas salad few other things some tomatoes Gonna make a sandwich and then I've got a speech Inside your heart hello, this is the best hot chocolate I've ever had apparently with this speech They will be talking into an app to translate and the app will be displayed the writing will be displayed behind me There's mostly people who aren't vegan here, which is really good like I don't even think all the activists are here yet It's a really good turnout already Oh My name is Joey Carbstrong. I'm currently traveling around Europe to promote a message of peace justice and compassion Now I have a very interesting colourful intense past Thank you But the last statement Yeah, my experiences led me to this point and I believe there was something else At play something. I don't know. It's almost like it was meant to happen this way He's saying God maybe Look, I'm not one to say I know everything but all I know is Something happened to me along the way and and something intervened But you know, I'm open and I believe that And I would never tell anyone that God doesn't exist that's not for me to say This is not what this is about these are questions as To whether a compassionate God, which I believe, you know, God would be compassionate loving Would want us to murder his creation in a slaughterhouse Destroy his environment and cause the number one killer of his beloved human beings Just doesn't make sense. We're talking about the most intelligent being the creator of everything Doesn't make sense Why would I loving God compassionate God Create animals to feel pain pain receptors suffer feel fear Desire a life of freedom desire happiness and well-being he created animals like this But also made them as food To be stabbed to death to drown in their own blood inside of a slaughterhouse Does not make any sense that sounds more like the work of the devil Genesis 1 29 Then God said I give you every seed bearing plant on the face of the whole earth They will be your food The garden of Eden was vegan Until they started sinning eating animals doesn't make sense For compassionate God to have slaughterhouses makes no sense Animals who eat meat they don't have our conscience that God's you know, and they're in survival situation We're not if one were to believe that God created all Earth human beings God would also have had to give us our conscience here in your heart Not what's written in the book. It's written in your heart right here. If you look at a slaughterhouse Watch it. Watch the footage watch what animals go through even in your backyard farms when they're shot in the head or stabbed in the throat What do you feel in your heart? your God given conscience if that makes you feel bad disgusted upset That is God talking to you Why would God? Create our children small little children to be afraid of their own food being produced It doesn't make any sense Okay, you can take a child strawberry picking. They wouldn't feel sick and be disturbed slaughterhouse workers are suffering PTSD from stabbing animals all day This is not good The earth is being destroyed. These are questions you can ask yourself Don't believe me. Just ask yourself these questions We have gifts. We have abundance. We have choice But thank you, thanks for the work you do as well spreading peace and peace and That went well, I feel really pumped after that. Thank you so much. Thank you I think what we're seeing now is big changes happening worldwide. You can't deny that I mean our efforts are working. Do I think some things could be done better than better than others? Yeah, but would I rather someone do something than nothing? Of course I mean, we're all learning no one knows what the best form is until we try it out Follow your heart anyway, right if their hearts in the right place and they're doing a vegan activism for you know animals and I'm Yeah Yeah with the butchers. Yeah, is this the form of activism that I do and think is most effective for me No, it's whether or not I think that it is justified If they were dogs hanging from hooks in that window that have been taken from people's yards and butchered And someone sprayed Stop killing dogs and smashed a window What would people be more upset about the dogs in the window butchered or the spray paint and broken window? That's not true. That's completely false. I've made videos that have converted a thousand people Now think about the blow that that that gives to their economic value of their product Supply and demand is the driving force behind these industries. They're industries. They're not just Slaving animals for no reason. They're slaving animals for money Okay, so if you hurt their bottom line Okay, you witness that and it makes you a ferocious activist and you you know, and then you influence 10-20 other people to be activists and persuade another thousand people each You've made a massive blow to that system because for us you're a vegan You know about the injustice, you know about the massacre, all right, and you're an animalist then What's that mean? An animalist, you know, you got animal, right animalist. Yeah animalist So you got that work humanity for human people, you know, and we consider every animal We are all animals. So we consider humans. Oh, yeah And we consider that we have to fight for every sentient being on that planet So an animalist is mean we know about the injustice and all the injustices, all right And we decide to fight for the rights of the oppressed persons on that planet, you know Yeah, so that's why I like it. I love it. The message isn't getting through fast enough So I appreciate all forms of advocacy and whatever gets the message out there if you prefer the peaceful Conversational style route which I do and I promote great if it's more you to do something a little bit more direct action I'm not gonna stop you, you know in the face of what's happening to animals We need us all fighting in our own way. So this is like one of the first years Like we've seen where they the real message of animal rights is coming to the forefront ethical Vegan message. It's crazy that we live in a society that are more offended with a broken window Than actual animals who would suffered and were murdered inside of a slaughterhouse Being sold in a shop window Don't ever lose that Peace yeah animalists Wow man Wow What absolute legends they were a the French activists is so passionate real anti-speciesists like So much heart and passion. I really want to make a change here And it's just like you can really feel it like feel it when they're talking to you like they they're like just keep an eye out For what's going to happen here in France and I don't know man. Like I just like you can Recognize yourself in others. You can see your passion in their eyes So when you have determination and courage like that and a belief that anything's possible It's a recipe for changing the world really is Are they always here? The police are always here for AD So the police are standing right there It's vegan it means it's healthy How many churches I'm gonna do workshops in hey When I found out what was happening to animals and I looked at some slaughterhouse footage and seen the struggle in their faces and The desperation in their eyes. I Was so angry I Thought how can we all stand by while this is happening? Why isn't anyone listening to their screams? Why isn't anyone helping and I was frustrated
