 Angry at humanity. These are normal emotions, okay? You get them a lot as an activist, as a vegan. You've woken up in a nightmare and now we're all feel compelled to try to help change that. And we can. So I don't want anyone for one second to feel helpless. Helpless to the point where you're like, what I do won't matter. So what am I going to do to change your world? People will try to tell you that. You know, one person can't change anything. If I thought about that, then I would never have got where I am today with influencing people to change their lifestyle, influencing vegans to become active if I had that attitude. So never have that attitude. Every single individual here has the potential to make massive waves. But you need to believe that that's possible within yourself first. So be confident on that. Be confident on that because we are making, you know, massive changes on earth. It's happening right now. Okay, good morning, everyone. I just woke up. It's about five in the morning. We're getting picked up soon to go to a vigil. I just thought I'd show you how I live out of suitcase when I'm traveling. So this is all my stuff here. This is the work zone over here. All of the stuff. We got to get up. We got to pack all of this and then we got to go. We're doing a surprise kind of vigil with Legion in Sydney here. I've got a bunch of computer work we're going to do and then we're going to hop on a plane and we're going to fly to Brisbane for the Dominion screenings in Queensland. Let's do it. People say to me, oh, Joey, you know, like bearing witness at a slaughterhouse standing out the front there with a sign. What's that going to do? You're not going to change the world like that. That's not effective advocacy. That might have been true 25, 30 years ago when we didn't have these things called iPhones. Okay, so here we are with Legion DX Sydney. We're at the front of a big slaughterhouse here. Chicken slaughterhouse. They kill nearly half a million chickens here a week and we're here to bear witness to the animals before they go in. So yeah. So this particular truck driver wasn't very cooperative and he was very angry and beeping a lot and they let him go through. It's just a luck of the draw with the truck driver is going to react like broken legs, broken wings, really young, abused. One of the most abused animals on earth. Not like it's not that it's a competition or anything, but they are abused, like not thrown into the back of the truck like they're nothing. That's illegal to the place. No, they'll push it come and then excuse me, turn that off. It's a public place, man. You're allowed to feel my property. Turn it off. Get off my property. Get off the property. Get off the property. Yeah, you can tell you to do that, but there's a little bit of friction happening at the moment. Obviously, they're a little bit anxious about having so many people at the front of this slaughterhouse, but they're killing a lot of animals here a lot. So the eyes should be on this slaughterhouse because they're murdering innocent beings in there. It's good to be back in my home country. I've been travelling around doing a lot of this sort of stuff. I've been pretty well received. And obviously, when you're trying to create change, there's some discomfort associated with that. So you can, you know, get some negative responses as well. But that just means, you know, you're reaching the audience that you need to. Very dangerous for these guys. They won't let us stop the truck. He's driving in very fast. Very dangerous. The first is perspective. OK, and that is what the save movement gives you. That is what bearing witness gives you. That is what watching films like Dominion gives you. Bang. Perspective. Oh, my God. That's right. That's who it's about. That poor cow trying to struggling to get out of the knockbox and the only mercy they get shown is a bolt gun to the head. That is who this is about. Perspective. You know, all those those nerves, you know, I feel a bit nervous about this. I don't know. I don't know. I feel a bit uncomfortable, a bit nervous. Bang. Straight into perspective when you think of the animals or when you bear witness. Do you believe that everyone is vegan at heart? I believe human beings are not meant to murder and eat animal bodies. I just don't think that that's a natural thing. I think that we are naturally herbivores. I think the sight of an animal being gunned down, murdered, gashed, chambered, sliced across the throat, makes human beings across the board feel ill unless they are conditioned to the violence, which is a different story. So this was filmed in Australia, all of this footage. This is all Australian footage. Do you live in Australia? Does that look humane to you? Does that look humane to you? Conscience is that of a vegan. You know, no one likes to see animals be hurt, abused, mistreated, stabbed to death or killed. As they hatch, they're separated. So the boys and the girls are separated and the boys are all minced up alive in a macerator. So they're killed on their first day of life. The girls will go on until they eggs. I don't think we have killer instincts, human beings. I think that we are trained as a child to do things that are evil. When they can't lay eggs anymore, they're all killed for their body. So the flesh that you eat could come from an egg laying hen that's been used for her body her whole life. Free range eggs are the same. Organic eggs are the same. Yeah, what do you guys think of that? It's bad. Yeah, they was like slavery and Holocaust a lot, which isn't really socially or like culturally appropriate to use for issues like this. So what do you have to say about that? I think if you replace humans with cows and you chain them up and exploit them for their bodies, it's still slavery. So I think if you take humans out of gas chambers and put pigs into gas chambers, it's still a Holocaust. Do you know much about dairy industry? Kind of, so I'm a vegetarian. So like I formed myself about meat production. But not dairy next? Yeah, yeah. That's pretty common. So dairy industry, basically all those dairy cows, they go straight to the beef industry. Yeah, all of the dairy cows. So basically the dairy industry is the meat industry. Yeah. Except there's more suffering in the dairy industry because they take all their children away from them. After one to three days, the children are stolen from them and they bellow out for days for their children. It's horrible. If they are born male, the dairy industry has no use for them. Yeah. They can be hit with a hammer on the first day of life to kill them. Or they can be grown a little bit older for veal and they'll be sent off. No one has come to me with an argument that shows why that isn't the same thing. They just say, oh, no, because we're humans. So because we're a different species, that means that an injustice towards us should be called something different. No. If you rape a cow, you violate them against their will, that is still rape. Just because the victim's different. The action is the same. Now the females will suffer the same fate as their mother, which is, you know, they get forcibly impregnated. We never had a forcibly impregnated cow. Yeah. It's a horrible experience. They're only about a year old when they do this. So when they had their child, it gets taken away. They get their milk, it gets taken from them. It's a circle of continuous forcible, pigmentation, child kidnapped. And then when they're spent, meaning they can't provide the farmer with enough product, they've suffered this maternal trauma their whole life. They go to straight to the slaughterhouse, bolt gun, dive across the boat, chopped up in pieces. They go out to the street, they see you out there. You've decided to go to AV that day. You're like, I've watched Dominion, I've had enough, I'm gonna go speak up for animals. Boom, you're on outreach that day, they walk up, see what's going on in the screens, and they go, oh my God, they have a conversation with you and they're like, yep, I'm definitely gonna sign up Challenge 22. Challenge 22 on Facebook? Don't hurt animals this way. No animal cruelty. Vegan challenge. Is this free on Facebook? Challenge 22? The vegan challenge, we don't contribute to animals being killed or harmed. Any way that we're using animals, we're killing them for it. I am a vegetarian myself. Yes. So eggs and dairy are part of a vegetarian diet, so this is about veganism. So vegetarian diets are... We do the dairy. Yeah, so dairy cows are all slaughtered for their body. Their children are slaughtered. All the egg laying hens are slaughtered. So with a vegan lifestyle, you can completely avoid any animals being slaughtered on your behalf or used for their bodies. So you can be pretty confident that when you're eating them, you're trying your best not to hurt anyone deliberately. That's a good thought. And it's really easy too. We've got this website called Challenge 22 and it's completely free. So you could imagine why we're out showing this to people. Yeah, of course. Do you know what the goal is of this? People start thinking about what they're eating and maybe change their behaviour. Exactly. That's exactly what we're trying to do. Yeah, I think it's really good that you're doing it because so many people are just ignoring it, so... Well, they're not. A lot of people just don't know it. Yeah, they're not aware of it. That's true. A lot of people go vegetarian for ethics, they think by the meat industries where it's at. They don't realise that all these other... They're all connected. That's true. It's all the same industry. All the same system. Everyone's doing something which is amazing and it's huge here in Australia. We need everyone standing up. So when you buy milk, when you buy cheese, you're saying that that's okay, that that's okay. You're basically funding it. Without us, the dairy farmers will do something else. True. Yeah, that's right. Something to do with that. Thank you. No worries. Don't stop. Keep fighting. Keep up the amazing work. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, we're taught that some species matter less and some species matter more. We're taught that some race is matter less, some race is matter more. We're taught that women matter less or straight people matter more. We're taught all these things. You give a child a blank canvas and show them a rabbit and a chicken. They think they're equally cute and equally want to play with them and think they deserve equal respect and treatment. Okay, so here we are at Sydney Airport. We're getting ready to fly off to Brisbane. All the activists in Sydney are doing amazing work. They've all evolved so much since the last time I've seen them. And the next stop is Queensland. You want to something like that? But rarely do you see these gentle, innocent, adolescent animals fight back. That's why they're so easily dominated. And it's so sad to see this is why we need to inspire vegans to be activists. I don't think ever before in the history of the movement. I mean, it might have happened but not on the scale that's happening now. Have we had other activists training, inspiring other vegans on how and why it's important to be active? So that's, we've got the vegans already. We didn't convert anyone and we just got every vegan to be active and then we went out and we would reach a tipping point like that.
