The following preview has been deemed suitable
for all audiences by the Youtuber who made it.

00:00:04.830 --> 00:00:10.270
The video being previewed is rated GYL for Gird Your Loins

00:00:10.270 --> 00:00:15.370
as it contains revolutionary thought, epic
vegan truth bombs from the days of old, & a

00:00:15.370 --> 00:00:18.130
priest who says “turd.”

00:00:25.019 --> 00:00:32.009
It started as it always has. With a question.
What is the history of veganism? In search

00:00:32.009 --> 00:00:36.050
of the answer, we travelled thousands of years
in the past to Ancient Times.

00:00:36.050 --> 00:00:43.660
“Perhaps the earliest known potential evidence
of at least vegetarianism goes back to 7000BCE,

00:00:43.660 --> 00:00:50.750
over 9,000 years ago, to a town called Mehrgarh,
belonging to the Indus river civilization.”

00:00:50.750 --> 00:00:52.210
And we made a discovery.

00:00:52.210 --> 00:00:54.210
Long, long ago,

00:00:55.500 --> 00:00:57.500
people started eating animals.

00:00:58.500 --> 00:01:00.490
And other people said,

00:01:01.720 --> 00:01:04.080
“Hey. Stop That.”

00:01:06.440 --> 00:01:08.000
Then came the Dark Ages.

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:13.710
“In those terrible ages of gross ignorance,
of superstition, of violence, and of injustice

00:01:13.710 --> 00:01:17.850
- in which human rights were seldom regarded
- it would have been surprising indeed if

00:01:17.850 --> 00:01:22.520
any sort of regard had been displayed for
the non-human slaves.”

00:01:22.520 --> 00:01:25.170
But the light of veganism could not be quenched.

00:01:25.170 --> 00:01:31.060
“A good deed done to an animal is as meritorious
as a good deed done to a human being, while

00:01:31.060 --> 00:01:35.770
an act of cruelty to an animal is as bad as
an act of cruelty to a human being"

00:01:35.770 --> 00:01:43.299
And now, the time of rebirth is at hand. Coming
this Friday to whatever device you’re watching

00:01:43.299 --> 00:01:51.540
this on…or anything with an Internet connection,
really… The History Of Vegamism Part Three:

00:01:51.540 --> 00:01:54.060
Vegans In The Renaissance.

00:01:54.060 --> 00:02:01.880
48 hours of research and library-creeping,
20 hours writing, editing and rewriting, and

00:02:01.880 --> 00:02:05.630
the video editing has only just begun…

00:02:05.630 --> 00:02:10.690
Get ready to see familiar historical figures
in a whole new light, hear da Vinci answer

00:02:10.690 --> 00:02:13.250
that ever pervasive argument of old…

00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:15.920
“Plants
Tho”

00:02:16.500 --> 00:02:19.260
and yes, even a 15th century priest,

00:02:19.260 --> 00:02:24.010
in a scathing anti-hunting rant, utter the
word, “turd.”

00:02:24.010 --> 00:02:30.010
Because no matter where in the world and no
matter when in time, someone somewhere will

00:02:30.010 --> 00:02:32.170
be fighting for veganism.

00:02:32.170 --> 00:02:37.790
Gird Your Loins. This Friday, it’s on like
the Renaissan-ce
