 Okay guys I've seen something and compelled me to make a video. I've seen this before but since knowing a lot more about cows and how intelligent they are and how smart they are as a herd and as a species this has really moved me once again and I'll play it for you now. So here you see this cow is recognised either a member of the herd or a family member and can smell the smells of the cows. The skin is there so the cow recognises the skin and is distressed and is crying and is yelling out and you can hear in the voice you know the pure horror and the agony. Anyone who tries to claim that cows aren't sentient, that animals aren't sentient, that animals don't feel emotions or they don't feel pain and suffering or they don't experience this bond with their herd and their families and their children. Is that enough evidence for you? There's this cow here just crying out crying in agony for their lost sibling or friend and you've still got the audacity to say that cows don't feel anything they're just mindless grass chewing drones which is couldn't be further from the truth if you think cows are mindless and that when they cry they're not experiencing emotions like humans do. I've seen cows crying on the way to a slaughterhouse okay. I've had farmers, particular farmers say that you know it's just leaking out their eyes they're not feeling experiencing emotions. Why do we have the audacity to think that we are the most superior mammal the most superior species that we are the only ones who express emotion like that. A cow in a herd even at the most happy humane highest welfare standard farm you can think of. When you think about it they would notice some cows going missing two cows go on the trailer to the slaughterhouse and they don't come back now the herd knows that when I've seen these cows on the trailer going to the slaughterhouse they knew that they weren't coming back okay that's why they were distressed that's why they were crying they might not know have known exactly what was behind those walls they knew they weren't coming back and they were scared okay that's why they were crying and that cow there knows what's going on knows they're one of their family members has been chopped up into pieces and it's obviously distressed and crying okay these animals are crying for their children they're moaning out for days for their babies the babies are crying back they're distressed they look emaciated they can't even eat because they're riddled with anxiety these are the victims here I mean I know it's easy as a non-vegan to just think hey they're mindless drones they they don't experience the same level of suffering that we do that makes it easier for you to consume and to pay for their death and their suffering but it's not true we need to wake up to ourselves and be honest with it here these animals are intelligent pigs learning faster than dogs cows and chickens and lambs and sheep displaying amazing traits of intelligence they just can't be denied the studies are out there but we still want to deny them the right to even sentience in the UK politicians have voted against animals being sentient when it's scientific consensus that they are it's scientific consensus that fish are sentient and feel pain and a bunch of politicians can go against consensus against science because they say so because it's obviously good for industry isn't it animals being sent in feeling pain and suffering and displaying grievance like that it's not good for business is it you know for people to see that and to understand that and to know that once you start to understand another being that cows and chickens and fishes and lambs they are different to us but once you start understanding the fundamental things we have in common the things that really matter and once you start to understand how their intelligence is different to us but just as valuable are their lives are just as valuable the deeper that the level of understanding the more you start to appreciate their struggle the longer I've been an activist and the longer I've connected with animals and started to understand them it's starting to weigh on me a lot more it's starting to become really heavy there's only ignorance of these animals and ignorance is evil if we believe absurdities we can commit atrocities and that's what's happening we believe these animals are not intelligent are not sentient don't feel pain and suffer that is meat machines meat and milk machines put here for us to to use and exploit and eat couldn't be further from the truth so for anyone watching who you might have been taught that cows are just mindless drones and they don't feel any pain and suffering watch that again and listen to your heart don't listen to the compounded levels of indoctrination that you've been taught since you were a child and what industry have perpetuated listen to your heart and you tell me is that justified is that violence is that suffering is that pain is that sadness justified so you can have a momentary fleeting taste pleasure a sandwich a bite to eat that's what you've got to ask yourself it's okay it's okay baby
