Hi it's Emily from Bite Size Vegan and this is going to be a very different video.

0:00:08.580,0:00:14.520
I'm actually in the process of moving, so I'm in an empty room and I wasn't planning on posting a video today.

0:00:15.260,0:00:17.260
But this is really important.

0:00:19.700,0:00:29.240
I make a very careful and intensive effort on my channel to talk about veganism

0:00:29.240,0:00:32.780
in a way that's relatable and approachable to non-vegans.

0:00:33.660,0:00:40.260
And I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt that maybe they just don't know any better.

0:00:40.800,0:00:44.400
They don't know the truth. All of us started there.

0:00:47.820,0:00:57.920
Sometimes things happen and people act in ways that make it very difficult to hold any hope.

0:00:59.600,0:01:09.680
Sometimes there are acts of such utter malice and apathy and cruelty.

0:01:10.500,0:01:15.960
Knowing what goes on every second of every day in this world, and what we're doing to animals

0:01:15.960,0:01:24.980
on such an astounding scale - is very difficult to live with.

0:01:26.260,0:01:35.360
And fighting for them everyday and fighting to educate and bring the information to people.

0:01:36.860,0:01:42.640
You have to hold out hope that someone will listen. That people can change.

0:01:42.640,0:01:45.200
I'm going to share with you what happened, and you might have already seen

0:01:45.200,0:01:51.900
because on Wednesday I posted my kid's video about the zoo. But on Instagram and Facebook,

0:01:51.900,0:01:58.100
before I even posted a link to that video, I shared posts about this because...

0:02:00.440,0:02:02.920
because it's incredibly important.

0:02:03.880,0:02:08.920
So, if you didn't already hear - on Wednesday, a truck turned over in front of Fearmans Pork

0:02:08.920,0:02:13.860
in Toronto, which is where we hold vigils - Toronto Pig Save.

0:02:14.480,0:02:21.520
If you go to this news article you can see that the owner of Fearmans Pork said that,

0:02:21.520,0:02:26.620
"Unfortunately, despite all the efforts, 42 hogs could not be saved."

0:02:28.740,0:02:35.120
What he means is saved in order to be slaughtered. But even in that, it's a lie.

0:02:35.940,0:02:44.960
We can watch the video on this news page where they're bringing the pigs out

0:02:44.960,0:02:48.160
in what seems a pretty orderly fashion. The pigs seem okay.

0:02:50.520,0:02:55.680
If you look at some of the footage from the activists there, tells a little bit of a different story.

0:02:57.320,0:02:58.540
Just listen.

0:03:43.800,0:03:49.300
And believe it or not, that's not even the worst part of this entire thing.

0:03:50.180,0:03:56.420
So, they walked the surviving pigs to their death. They walked them to slaughter.

0:03:57.060,0:04:01.940
They're herding them through the parking lot of the slaughterhouse to get them back

0:04:02.920,0:04:09.660
so they can put them in CO2 chambers that are incredibly painful.

0:04:10.420,0:04:12.660
They'll burn from the inside out.

0:04:13.160,0:04:16.300
Then they'll hang them upside down and bleed them.

0:04:17.740,0:04:21.420
I have videos all over my channel about these chambers.

0:04:22.660,0:04:28.160
They're in the Ireland talk that I just did, I just did a live stream from an England slaughterhouse.

0:04:31.820,0:04:35.100
It's brutal. It's absolutely brutal.

0:04:35.900,0:04:39.020
There's even one pig here who's suffering from a prolapse.

0:04:39.920,0:04:43.260
Still, they're going to make her walk to her death.

0:04:45.320,0:04:47.140
This is a death march.

0:04:49.600,0:04:52.080
If it sounds like a war zone - it is.

0:04:53.280,0:04:55.220
There were some injured pigs.

0:04:56.300,0:05:02.220
Who were not fit to be processed, meaning they couldn't be slaughtered for food.

0:05:05.560,0:05:13.060
They sat in the grass for hours. Steve Jenkins, one of Esther The Wonder Pig's fathers was there.

0:05:14.600,0:05:21.060
And he was begging them to allow him to take the injured pigs to sanctuary.

0:05:22.680,0:05:28.600
Where they could be free. Because they can't slaughter them for food.

0:05:29.380,0:05:34.060
They're not fit for consumption.

0:05:37.000,0:05:38.840
But they wouldn't allow it.

0:05:41.400,0:05:48.180
They wouldn't even show the mercy to these defective, injured pigs.

0:05:48.960,0:05:53.860
So, what they did instead, is they killed them.

0:05:54.680,0:05:56.280
They executed them.

0:05:58.020,0:06:01.580
Out in the open. Trying to hide it with cardboard.

0:06:03.200,0:06:04.960
These are the final moments.

0:06:07.700,0:06:10.800
This might be the only time that she's ever felt the grass,

0:06:11.920,0:06:14.500
and seen the sun, and the sky.

0:06:19.600,0:06:22.800
You can see the bolt gun in his hand.

0:06:24.100,0:06:25.860
They're trying to hide it.

0:06:31.280,0:06:32.840
He just shot her.

0:06:36.840,0:06:38.120
She's convulsing.

0:06:41.860,0:06:47.720
She's writhing in pain. And they're trying to hide this with cardboard.

0:07:42.900,0:07:53.580
So then, they take her carcass and they load her into a bin so they can throw her in the dumpster like garbage.

0:07:54.140,0:07:58.580
These pigs were still alive. They could have healed.

0:07:59.220,0:08:01.540
They just were too injured to walk.

0:08:02.360,0:08:08.740
And one of the laws is that pigs have to be able to walk themselves to their death.

0:08:09.580,0:08:14.660
There is no justification for this. This is murder.

0:08:17.380,0:08:23.660
There were people there willing, ready, wanting to take them to safety.

0:08:26.140,0:08:29.740
To take them somewhere where they could live out their life.

0:08:31.900,0:08:34.340
And they couldn't even allow that.

0:08:35.100,0:08:42.160
Couldn't even give these pigs that much mercy. They weren't going to use them.

0:08:42.160,0:08:46.020
They weren't going to slaughter them. They're just going to throw them in the dumpster.

0:08:46.440,0:08:50.880
And what you're seeing now is those who didn't survive the crash.

0:08:51.100,0:08:59.300
All of those who died in the truck in pain, screaming, trapped.

0:09:00.000,0:09:05.220
And just imagine - what if this was people? What if this was even dogs?

0:09:06.200,0:09:08.360
How would we react differently?

0:09:15.460,0:09:21.700
If you wonder how this could happen, if you're wondering how people could be so heartless

0:09:22.360,0:09:25.960
why can't they just at least let these two pigs go?

0:09:27.000,0:09:36.040
If you can't comprehend how this is possible but you still eat meat, dairy, eggs,

0:09:36.340,0:09:38.400
you've answered your own question.

0:09:40.500,0:09:46.420
This wouldn't be happening if we weren't asking for it to happen.

0:09:48.220,0:09:51.420
This is the supply to our demand.

0:09:52.760,0:10:01.040
It doesn't matter how humane, free-range, cage-free, this is what you're supporting.

0:10:03.240,0:10:06.120
I would encourage you to educate yourself.

0:10:06.120,0:10:10.100
There's links down in the video description, all of the information is there.

0:10:10.520,0:10:13.960
The truth is there. It's not even that well-hidden.

0:10:14.580,0:10:20.460
It doesn't matter how far you are from the slaughterhouse, or if you don't hear their cries.

0:10:21.740,0:10:25.920
They're marched to their death for your breakfast,

0:10:27.020,0:10:28.580
for your sandwich.

0:10:31.020,0:10:40.580
They're shot on the side of the road, executed and thrown in a dumpster for your sausage.

0:10:42.600,0:10:47.640
The main reason they're trying so hard to get those pigs out of the truck

0:10:48.540,0:10:52.620
is to make sure they don't lose their inventory.

0:10:53.940,0:10:59.540
Try to reduce lost profits. Get them out of there as soon as possible

0:10:59.540,0:11:02.340
so they're still alive so we can kill them.

0:11:03.820,0:11:07.960
That's the insanity of our system.

0:11:10.520,0:11:17.860
There's no excuse. There is no way to justify this.

0:11:18.660,0:11:22.100
Please see the links, how to get involved, how to educate yourself.

0:11:24.180,0:11:27.460
It's not rocket science. Stop eating animals.

0:11:29.540,0:11:34.200
Bear witness to the reality. See the truth. Stop ignoring it.

0:11:35.260,0:11:38.380
You don't have to look far, it's all around you.

0:11:39.660,0:11:42.960
It's all around you, every moment of every day.

0:11:44.860,0:11:46.860
It doesn't have to be this way.

0:11:50.440,0:11:52.160
Make your choice.
