 Okay so here we are at the front of Ashford cattle market. I've just been inside, they're auctioning off little calves and sheep, pigs, cattle and there's a bunch of people bidding for these sentient animals and I believe it is no different to the slave trade that it actually is the modern day slave trade. So we're out here, set up a table, we're going to see if the bidders think the same way. Wait what does it say? It says live auctions are the slave trade proved me wrong. Do you think you're going to get something good with that? We'll get some conversations for sure. Just something I haven't ever done before in a live auction so I don't know what to expect but I'd like to see what argument they could come up with to defend that statement. They could say animals can't be kept classed as slaves. I would just say why because humans can be enslaved because we're sentient and you know we desire freedom but animals desire those same things. It's all right yeah. How's that look? Funny. Does it look like an M? It does look like an M yeah. Okay yeah we don't want to park at the back in that man. Park around away from the front here. Park at the back over there near the trucks over there dude. Turn right into these parks on your right there. You know what dude just drive up we'll walk down. This is getting ridiculous let's just drive up there yeah this is getting ridiculous we're getting a little drive up there dude yeah drive up there okay it's not much of an open day though yeah that's fine man thank you very much all right we'll talk see you man good luck yeah so they're selling pigs and lambs and um carves oh sort of standing up there yeah only people with cattle um trailers are here probably about 500 of horse a thousand animals and they're just all different types probably not that many though just looks like it under that big shed i think they're going to be able to see that right yeah and once it's up and running i'll stop stressing you think they're the slave trade too yeah interesting do you reckon you uh seen the sign but we might be here for a few days do we get kicked out we changed in the car we changed my uh vegan tattoo to megan or megan but till the megan's out there i was just trying to be undercover that's it just so people didn't know in there that i was a vegan the little carves are so terrified in there man their infant carves being bitted off like horrific there's no other word to describe it than slavery it's an injustice to call it anything less no they're terrified they don't have any choice they don't know what life of freedom is supposed to feel like so imagine having a bunch of aliens around you different species bidding on you and taking you away from your parents and bidding you off separating you i think he read that sign loud and clear she agrees and that's two agrees out of you know two of the people that have walked past it's so obvious when you point it out you know that one statement just points it out so easily i don't know like i'm hoping someone can try to sit here and argue it i don't know where that would start the older guy looks over like he had to double look he's just so indoctrinated in condition to this like they don't see what we see dropping her animal off to be slaughtered dropping her animal off to be sold and slaughtered she just wipes hands clean there we go done got a couple a hundred pound for it a little calf in the back there i wonder how much you paid for that little calf i wonder how much that life is worth to humans 50 quid 20 bucks you hear those cows bellowing out terrified gonna get sunburned but it's worth it here he's walking look how many slaves he's got in the back yeah here we go here we go is this this is public land isn't it where does the public land begin let's just shuffle right there look at that truck look at them terrified i don't have a chat mate you agree you don't want to get involved they work with the council here so they wouldn't want to publicly agree this is just farming this is general farming practices like i was a little bit stressed out setting this table up before just hoping that it all went right and and then i realized that we're not actually doing anything wrong here them in there are doing something wrong so why should we feel uncomfortable about pointing that out you know i should be more relaxed about this because you know what's going on in there is wrong this sign is just objectively true holy shit oh my god even if um no one comes and talks to us because i guess that had to be quite confident to come and sit down right here i guess the sign is doing a lot of activism in in and of itself isn't it but i believe in all forms of activism generally but i just feel like having this style and then having a conversation with someone about it is it for me the better way a lot of people have never been to a a live auction you said yeah when i first went it was full on yeah seeing the terrified animals being bid on like that and no one blinks an eye in there like no one sees it as wrong like but general public definitely would see something wrong with it but conditioned farmers not at all just business another day of business we're going to find a nice busy spot at the market we might run into some farmers anyway you know all right so what we're doing doesn't look like people are going to come out and talk to us here pretty understandable don't know how that could defend that anyway but we're going to take this out to somewhere more public like a market and see if we can get in a conversation let's do it megan the vegan megan the vegan there's a load of foot traffic here definitely going to get some conversations rolling around here this is just normal joey carp strong stuff all right really yeah check check check all good all right we're rolling what's your name bro eliot mate eliot good to me eliot hey boy how you doing it went really well um i thought like that conversation was one of the longest i've ever had no one really uh proved me wrong there i mean the sign said proved me wrong i don't think anyone proved me wrong no one gave me a valid argument as to why animals can't be considered slaves yes sir that was epic activism man amazing what you can do with a poster and a table it's a bit amazing and some logic we're so fat right now all right so because our filming went so well today we thought we'd treat ourselves and i've got a temple of satan burgers what's this oh popcorn satan that looks good oh a little dessert but a little um tart here i'm gonna place this because i want us to share the burgers
