I mean, imagine if we applied that to humans. 104 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,160 Does your intelligence level dictate if you feel pain? 105 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,420 Does it dictate if you grieve? If you feel fear? 106 00:24:28,140 --> 00:24:31,320 It has nothing to do with anything. 107 00:24:34,660 --> 00:24:39,760 I mean if we want to go down that route, you know, that's... 108 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:44,320 just another tactic to distance ourselves from what it is that we're doing. 109 00:24:44,620 --> 00:24:50,040 Because if we can believe that they're stupid, and that they don't feel... 110 00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:57,740 Then we don't have to, we don't have to confront our behaviors and our actions. 111 00:25:00,820 --> 00:25:05,900 "The Africans have lower intelligence" or you know "They're more animalistic because of this, this and this." 112 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,020 That's the only way to justify what was happening. 113 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,900 And we do the same thing with non-humans. 114 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:24,920 I mean, Thanksgiving... 115 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:31,240 I talked about in my very first Thanksgiving video ever that we're celebrating genocide with genocide. 116 00:25:32,980 --> 00:25:41,660 Thanksgiving is a marker of a massacre of the indigenous people of this country. 117 00:25:41,660 --> 00:25:48,280 And we give thanks for that over the corpses of these beings. 118 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:56,620 You know, celebrating the largest ongoing holocaust in our entire world's history. 119 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:06,800 It's absurd. 120 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:07,780 It's utterly absurd. 121 00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:21,400 Collectively, our entire species, we've been living a lie for so long and to protect the integrity of that lie 122 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:31,400 in our own denial, we've had to just heap falsehood upon falsehood upon falsehood and it is so convoluted at this point. 123 00:26:36,100 --> 00:26:39,300 It's like we don't even know what's real anymore, you know? 124 00:26:43,540 --> 00:26:53,000 There is so much corruption and so much unnecessary... suffering. 125 00:27:04,980 --> 00:27:09,460 It really doesn't have to be this way.

What about free-range? What about cage-free?". 131 00:27:55,380 --> 00:28:02,720 Please take the time, I know it's a long video and YouTube, you know, people have a 30 second attention span, 132 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:09,180 but please watch the speech "The Best We Have To Offer". 133 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:21,740 Because I go into what is the best, you know.

It's up to every single one of us... to dictate... what the demand is. 170 00:33:34,100 --> 00:33:37,620 If we stop asking for it, they will stop providing it. 171 00:33:39,220 --> 00:33:44,100 Because it's business. That's what it is. It comes down to money. 172 00:33:46,220 --> 00:33:47,180 I mean, and... 173 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:56,780 It's incredibly perverse that it all comes down to money. Even the "humane" guidelines come down to the cent 174 00:33:56,780 --> 00:34:02,720 of 'how much is it to stab them in the throat vs to stab them in the chest?'. 175 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:11,280 I've read the charts, I've seen the details behind these "humane" regulations where they break it down 176 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:20,760 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. 177 00:34:22,700 --> 00:34:29,080 But the great thing about it coming down to money is that each of us has incredible power 178 00:34:31,500 --> 00:34:35,940 You might think one person can't do something, but if all of us think that, then yeah, nothing's gonna happen. 179 00:34:40,240 --> 00:34:44,300 I live in the state that created ag-gag laws 180 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,840 This is where that was started. 181 00:34:48,180 --> 00:35:01,620 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. 182 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:09,500 But I try 183 00:35:11,420 --> 00:35:16,260 You know, I never know if what I'm doing is right. I don't know if it's the best thing. 184 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,040 But I just keep trying. 185 00:35:20,660 --> 00:35:23,220 You know, and if I can do it, anyone can. 186 00:35:26,540 --> 00:35:28,420 So now I'm going all over the place. 187 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:50,900 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. 188 00:35:50,900 --> 00:35:55,860 Because it's bad enough. The truth is enough. 189 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:14,380 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... 190 00:36:15,460 --> 00:36:19,480 ...if they actually allow themselves to admit it. 191 00:36:24,140 --> 00:36:35,160 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". 192 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:45,280 You know, 'now I'm just gonna buy cage-free eggs'. But it's so important to see what is really happening. 193 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:54,000 I mean this isn't even touching on the environmental and the health aspect. 194 00:36:54,000 --> 00:37:01,940 So that this doesn't become a ten hour thing, I'm gonna really go this time you guys. 195 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:10,840 It's hard, because I could talk about this all day, you know, I could talk about this for weeks and everything. 196 00:37:12,380 --> 00:37:17,940 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", 197 00:37:17,940 --> 00:37:30,480 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?'. 198 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:34,620 But, you know what? Sometimes there are things that are more important. 199 00:37:36,580 --> 00:37:43,060 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... 200 00:37:43,060 --> 00:37:47,640 you feel like you're gonna say the wrong thing to people, just get out there, just do it. 201 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,780 Cause I fall on my face every single day. 202 00:37:56,540 --> 00:37:57,420 (inaudible) 203 00:37:58,020 --> 00:38:03,720 Okay, thank you guys for watching.

If it's art, do art. 205 00:38:12,740 --> 00:38:20,800 If you're a writer, do that. If you're a teacher do that. It doesn't have to look like anybody else's activism. 206 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:26,320 It just needs to be something that you connect with, because if you connect with it, other people are going to connect with you. 207 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:32,980 You know, they'll feel that; the genuine passion. 208 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,560 It's not gonna reach everybody. 209 00:38:37,660 --> 00:38:39,820 It's better than doing nothing. 210 00:38:44,140 --> 00:38:45,140 Okay. 211 00:38:47,420 --> 00:38:49,360 Guess that's it, you guys. 212 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,100 I'll check in soon.

This is their last day 221 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:49,620 They are about to go inside and experience something that none of us can even fathom. 222 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,120 It's their life.
