I'm so sorry. 0:02:21.560,0:02:24.660 This isn't fair. 0:02:24.660,0:03:03.820 (turkeys rustling and clucking) 0:03:03.820,0:03:11.280 (loud metal enclosure rattling) 0:03:11.280,0:04:32.900 (turkeys rustling and clucking) 0:04:39.680,0:04:50.980 (truck engine followed by turkeys gobbling) 0:04:50.980,0:05:04.960 (turkeys rustling and clucking) 0:05:04.960,0:05:16.220 (beeping in the background) 0:05:16.220,0:05:17.660 It's another truck. 0:05:17.660,0:06:41.400 (turkeys rustling and clucking) 0:06:41.400,0:06:53.640 (turkey loudly kicking or hitting its metal enclosure) 0:06:53.640,0:07:41.140 (turkeys rustling and clucking) 0:07:45.980,0:07:49.480 It's freezing out here too. 0:07:53.460,0:07:56.000 They might be coming soon. 0:07:56.000,0:08:00.880 They've cleared out the other shed I think. 0:08:07.700,0:08:14.160 They might be coming, so if they are then I might cut the stream, we'll see... 0:08:17.480,0:08:22.860 I can't tell... (turkeys gobble) 0:08:25.600,0:08:34.000 (truck engine noises and turkeys gobble more) 0:08:35.660,0:08:41.820 This is supposed to be our symbol of togetherness, and family, and gratitude, 0:08:41.820,0:08:50.980 and what we're thankful for is to gather around the corpses of these, of these innocent beings. 0:09:00.060,0:09:02.880 They're hooking up one of the trucks right now. 0:09:08.040,0:11:10.540 (turkeys rustling and clucking) 0:11:10.540,0:11:22.340 (no audio) 0:11:22.340,0:12:28.720 (turkeys rustling and clucking) 0:12:28.720,0:12:36.940 I'll keep this on, I might keep you guys in the less obvious position as I walk across the open space, OK? 0:12:40.440,0:12:43.260 It's really hard to leave them. 0:12:47.520,0:12:49.600 It's really hard to leave them. (sniffles) 0:12:52.740,0:12:56.980 This isn't worth a meal, this isn't something to be grateful for. (sighs) 0:13:04.480,0:13:10.000 I've said it before our traditions don't dictate the value of someone else's life, you know. 0:13:15.520,0:13:22.660 There's plenty of things that we have done for a long time as a species that we now look back at in horror. 0:14:15.040,0:14:20.720 My hands and feet are like frozen right now, I did not think it was as cold as it is today. 0:14:22.780,0:14:27.980 Also, really... Can't tell. 0:14:28.520,0:14:39.500 I mean, it's like, I have nothing to complain about you know, I have nothing to complain about. (sigh) 0:14:46.680,0:14:56.900 One of the trucks, they came and got one of the trucks. I don't think, obviously they didn't see me. 0:15:00.760,0:15:04.920 You can see now, one of them's gone. 0:15:09.580,0:15:10.520 All of them. 0:15:17.900,0:15:31.580 Pass around the facility and as far as I can, as far as I've found, they slaughter about 20,000 or so turkeys in a day. 0:15:35.860,0:15:41.820 Which is just a drop in the bucket as far as our entire nation, let alone the world. 0:15:48.500,0:15:51.560 I'm going to turn you around one more time. 0:15:54.140,0:15:55.520 That's the shed. 0:15:58.200,0:16:01.480 That's where all the turkeys are in those trucks. 0:16:01.480,0:16:08.160 There's another shed inside of the gates of the slaughterhouse. 0:16:10.080,0:16:13.660 This is some houses where... (audio cuts out) 0:16:13.680,0:16:28.380 (no audio) 0:16:29.480,0:16:33.820 And then, right there is the playground. 0:16:41.100,0:16:42.700 I mean how crazy is that? 0:16:46.840,0:16:55.460 That kids, kids come here and they play on these swings and the slides and right here... 0:17:05.220,0:17:07.940 You know when I live streamed at... 0:17:09.260,0:17:15.720 In the UK, at the pig slaughterhouse, I did a live stream and 0:17:15.720,0:17:20.900 at that, at that slaughter house the gas chambers... 0:17:23.100,0:17:28.540 I mean they're so loud, the pigs screaming are so loud that you could hear them screaming... 0:17:30.400,0:17:35.000 Around the entire neighborhood, and there's people who live right there and people who walk right by... 0:17:36.900,0:17:41.200 that, that slaughterhouse. And they hear the screams. 0:17:42.940,0:17:47.140 And it's just like they, they ignore them, and I mean that's what we have to do. 0:17:47.140,0:17:48.920 That's what we have to do. 0:17:48.960,0:17:56.200 It takes an astounding amount of energy and denial to continue doing what we do. 0:17:56.300,0:17:57.900 ... On the swing sets? 0:17:59.560,0:18:06.080 And you know, it can seem, it can seem really confusing and really baffling 0:18:06.080,0:18:11.600 as to why people can't possibly see it when it's right in front of them. 0:18:11.600,0:18:13.600 But it also makes sense. 0:18:15.520,0:18:22.380 Because we have to, we have to willfully disconnect. 0:18:24.660,0:18:32.140 Because the pain of seeing that for what it is... 0:18:32.140,0:18:37.480 it's too much for most people to face. 0:18:39.760,0:18:44.060 Because it means realizing that... 0:18:47.740,0:18:51.120 we are the monsters. 0:18:57.300,0:19:04.920 We are the perpetrators, we are the ones that we will try to protect our children from. 0:19:05.540,0:19:06.580 We're killers. 0:19:09.840,0:19:10.820 Sadistic killers. 0:19:10.840,0:19:20.940 I mean, these turkeys have been sitting there for hours upon end today. 0:19:22.580,0:19:29.940 You know? And it's, it's not the dead of winter yet but just imagine when it gets to below freezing. 0:19:30.580,0:19:37.580 And in the summer it's extreme. (video cut) There's usually exceptions for poultry. 0:19:39.260,0:19:41.180 They're the most exploited 0:19:43.500,0:19:47.200 of all of the non-human animals. 0:19:56.340,0:20:02.380 (sigh) The less relatable we can find them, the easier it is for us. 0:20:03.880,0:20:12.120 To completely distance ourselves from them and to treat them like objects... 0:20:26.120,0:20:29.800 All you have to do though is look in their eyes, you just have to look in their eyes. 0:20:38.560,0:20:39.860 Terrified. 0:20:40.820,0:20:42.900 Some of them are dying already. 0:20:44.100,0:20:45.700 Some of them are so sick. 0:20:55.460,0:20:59.720 Alright guys, I think I'm gonna... (whew) 0:21:03.460,0:21:10.400 Think I'm gonna head back to my place. I'm going to be running out of battery again soon. 0:21:13.860,0:21:22.240 I just want to be back over there with them, because they're just sitting there. Waiting. 0:21:26.580,0:21:31.840 Every single on of them that I saw today, and I've been spending hours with them, 0:21:34.920,0:21:37.280 this is, this is their last day. 0:21:42.780,0:21:44.300 It's their last day. 0:21:50.560,0:21:53.560 Pretty soon families are going to come together and give thanks... 0:21:53.700,0:22:12.720 (no audio) 0:22:48.700,0:22:49.900 Oh, there they go. 0:22:51.900,0:22:53.340 He's pulling out now. 0:22:59.340,0:23:00.300 There they go. 0:23:42.980,0:23:50.740 But, regardless of intelligence, you know and I even say that pigs are smarter than dogs 0:23:50.740,0:23:52.740 and even outperform three year old children, and it's true. 0:23:55.880,0:24:03.260 But, you know intelligence... since when is intelligence a marker of one's rights? 0:24:04.580,0:24:08.460 You know? I mean, imagine if we applied that to humans. 0:24:13.480,0:24:17.160 Does your intelligence level dictate if you feel pain? 0:24:17.600,0:24:22.420 Does it dictate if you grieve? If you feel fear? 0:24:28.140,0:24:31.320 It has nothing to do with anything. 0:24:34.660,0:24:39.760 I mean if we want to go down that route, you know, that's... 0:24:39.760,0:24:44.320 just another tactic to distance ourselves from what it is that we're doing. 0:24:44.620,0:24:50.040 Because if we can believe that they're stupid, and that they don't feel... 0:24:52.360,0:24:57.740 Then we don't have to, we don't have to confront our behaviors and our actions. 0:25:00.820,0:25:05.900 "The Africans have lower intelligence" or you know "They're more animalistic because of this, this and this." 0:25:07.920,0:25:11.020 That's the only way to justify what was happening. 0:25:11.240,0:25:15.900 And we do the same thing with non-humans. 0:25:23.240,0:25:24.920 I mean, Thanksgiving... 0:25:24.920,0:25:31.240 I talked about in my very first Thanksgiving video ever that we're celebrating genocide with genocide. 0:25:32.980,0:25:41.660 Thanksgiving is a marker of a massacre of the indigenous people of this country. 0:25:41.660,0:25:48.280 And we give thanks for that over the corpses of these beings. 0:25:48.280,0:25:56.620 You know, celebrating the largest ongoing holocaust in our entire world's history. 0:26:05.920,0:26:06.800 It's absurd. 0:26:06.800,0:26:07.780 It's utterly absurd. 0:26:13.120,0:26:21.400 Collectively, our entire species, we've been living a lie for so long and to protect the integrity of that lie 0:26:21.400,0:26:31.400 in our own denial, we've had to just heap falsehood upon falsehood upon falsehood and it is so convoluted at this point. 0:26:36.100,0:26:39.300 It's like we don't even know what's real anymore, you know? 0:26:43.540,0:26:53.000 There is so much corruption and so much unnecessary... suffering. 0:27:04.980,0:27:09.460 It really doesn't have to be this way. It does not have to be this way. 0:27:11.900,0:27:17.120 (no audio) 0:27:18.160,0:27:22.620 It was important... for you to be here and see them 0:27:30.660,0:27:35.220 No matter what we tell ourselves to feel okay about doing this... 0:27:39.260,0:27:45.380 ...our justifications have no comfort for them. 0:27:49.880,0:27:55.160 If you have any doubt, if you think; "Oh well, but what about humane? What about free-range? What about cage-free?". 0:27:55.380,0:28:02.720 Please take the time, I know it's a long video and YouTube, you know, people have a 30 second attention span, 0:28:02.720,0:28:09.180 but please watch the speech "The Best We Have To Offer". 0:28:11.480,0:28:21.740 Because I go into what is the best, you know. What is the very highest standards that we have and what does that really mean for the animals? 0:28:23.160,0:28:25.080 All of this is just kind of... 0:28:33.140,0:28:35.960 We really need to re-evaluate our priorities. 0:28:43.660,0:28:45.180 They aren't products. 0:28:56.160,0:28:57.360 Okay, you guys... 0:29:00.920,0:29:06.200 I'm kind of waxing philosophical and wandering around a bit, so I think it's kind of time. 0:29:06.540,0:29:07.260 Um 0:29:09.000,0:29:09.880 Let's, uh... 0:29:12.120,0:29:13.560 (Seat belt clicking) 0:29:13.560,0:29:14.500 Cause um 0:29:15.020,0:29:17.020 I know not all of you were here... 0:29:19.440,0:29:22.180 ...the first time we did a drive. 0:29:28.460,0:29:38.060 (blinker noises) 0:29:38.200,0:29:44.380 So this is where the kids play. Once again, we've got the swing sets. 0:30:00.200,0:30:04.200 (blinker noises) 0:30:10.400,0:30:14.160 So, you can see... hold on... 0:30:32.140,0:30:33.900 So we're gonna go back out. 0:30:35.320,0:30:36.200 (inaudible) 0:31:15.980,0:31:21.900 (blinker noises) 0:31:26.740,0:31:34.360 I'm gonna head home and then as soon as I get back, I will jump online and see if I can find these videos and 0:31:34.360,0:31:38.900 everything and decide as well about the other video, but... 0:31:41.440,0:31:41.940 please 0:31:45.500,0:31:48.700 please get out there, you know, if you're not vegan... 0:31:54.120,0:31:56.900 please just open your eyes and look at them 0:31:58.200,0:32:07.380 you know, it's not... it's not about being a bad person, it's not about shaming yourself, it's about... 0:32:07.380,0:32:10.580 just aligning your actions with your values 0:32:16.480,0:32:27.520 I have to say I think the vast majority of people in this world would not put living beings into that kind of situation. 0:32:27.960,0:32:29.760 They wouldn't be okay with it. 0:32:29.760,0:32:32.460 They certainly wouldn't do it themselves. 0:32:37.240,0:32:43.100 I know that it's hard, but it is so important to see what's really happening. 0:32:45.040,0:32:48.360 To see what other people are doing in your name. 0:32:51.760,0:32:53.360 You're paying for this. 0:32:54.260,0:32:59.120 You're paying for this to happen; this abject misery, this brutalization. 0:33:03.320,0:33:05.720 It's what you feed to your children! 0:33:11.020,0:33:11.900 (inaudible) 0:33:12.760,0:33:19.720 Corporations: The thing is all they do is they are fulfilling the demand; they're supplying the demand. 0:33:20.860,0:33:28.740 So it's up to us. It's up to every single one of us... to dictate... what the demand is. 0:33:34.100,0:33:37.620 If we stop asking for it, they will stop providing it. 0:33:39.220,0:33:44.100 Because it's business. That's what it is. It comes down to money. 0:33:46.220,0:33:47.180 I mean, and... 0:33:50.000,0:33:56.780 It's incredibly perverse that it all comes down to money. Even the "humane" guidelines come down to the cent 0:33:56.780,0:34:02.720 of 'how much is it to stab them in the throat vs to stab them in the chest?'. 0:34:02.720,0:34:11.280 I've read the charts, I've seen the details behind these "humane" regulations where they break it down 0:34:11.280,0:34:20.760 to the decimal point. How much is it to chain them, how much is it to electrocute them. How much is it to grind the baby chicks vs gas the baby chicks. 0:34:22.700,0:34:29.080 But the great thing about it coming down to money is that each of us has incredible power 0:34:31.500,0:34:35.940 You might think one person can't do something, but if all of us think that, then yeah, nothing's gonna happen. 0:34:40.240,0:34:44.300 I live in the state that created ag-gag laws 0:34:44.760,0:34:46.840 This is where that was started. 0:34:48.180,0:35:01.620 I live in a country where what I just did could be deemed terrorism under the animal enterprise terrorism act that is still active in our country. 0:35:08.800,0:35:09.500 But I try 0:35:11.420,0:35:16.260 You know, I never know if what I'm doing is right. I don't know if it's the best thing. 0:35:18.360,0:35:20.040 But I just keep trying. 0:35:20.660,0:35:23.220 You know, and if I can do it, anyone can. 0:35:26.540,0:35:28.420 So now I'm going all over the place. 0:35:38.320,0:35:50.900 I just always want (jump cut) I don't have to make stuff up. I don't have to... forge figures. I don't have to... exagerate things. 0:35:50.900,0:35:55.860 Because it's bad enough. The truth is enough. 0:36:01.400,0:36:14.380 And I don't care how long you've eaten meat or what you might think of vegans, I really do believe that the vast majority of people are not okay with what happens... 0:36:15.460,0:36:19.480 ...if they actually allow themselves to admit it. 0:36:24.140,0:36:35.160 I know it's a lot safer and it's a lot more comfortable and it's a lot less scary to stay in that comfort, or to hide in the "humane". 0:36:37.800,0:36:45.280 You know, 'now I'm just gonna buy cage-free eggs'. But it's so important to see what is really happening. 0:36:49.280,0:36:54.000 I mean this isn't even touching on the environmental and the health aspect. 0:36:54.000,0:37:01.940 So that this doesn't become a ten hour thing, I'm gonna really go this time you guys. 0:37:06.320,0:37:10.840 It's hard, because I could talk about this all day, you know, I could talk about this for weeks and everything. 0:37:12.380,0:37:17.940 And now I gotta figure out what to do about today. And see this is why I say; "If I can do it, anyone can do it", 0:37:17.940,0:37:30.480 Because I am such a structured neurotic person and so I'm already freaking out about 'will I have this video queued today and now what do I do?'. 0:37:30.480,0:37:34.620 But, you know what? Sometimes there are things that are more important. 0:37:36.580,0:37:43.060 If you're someone who you don't know what to do, you don't know what to say, you have anxiety, you're not sure... 0:37:43.060,0:37:47.640 you feel like you're gonna say the wrong thing to people, just get out there, just do it. 0:37:47.640,0:37:50.780 Cause I fall on my face every single day. 0:37:56.540,0:37:57.420 (inaudible) 0:37:58.020,0:38:03.720 Okay, thank you guys for watching.
