first of all I'm here to speak on behalf
of the most oppressed most abused most
murdered group of beings that has ever
existed when was the last time a chicken
or a cow attacked a human being how
about never
they a pig turkey never were the ones
that attack them cow or are we nobody
chickens have harmed nobody we are
murdering innocent beings we send them
the slaughterhouses they know what's
going on they're aware they're conscious
they smell death and fear and blood in
the air we cut them up into pieces the
animals are not willing participants
we're teaching them that it's okay to
disregard animal life that human life is
more sacred than animals when every
creature on this planet values their
life just like humans value their life
we all suffer in the same way we all
feel pain in the same way a knife in my
throat is just as painful and harmful as
a knife in a cow's throat and the
chicken's throat because people don't
realize how much they're harming animals
in their daily lives most people I know
aren't evil people but most people don't
realize their daily choices support evil
so if you put a knife in my hand when I
was growing up even though I ate meat
said hey Gary go kill that cop Millie
you must be crazy what's sticking that
knife in somebody else's throat so we
pay other people to do it so I want to
reach those people that are passively
evil that passively take part in this
and that's the masses so I'm just
pointing this out to everybody because
people don't realize how much they're
harming animals in their daily lives so
as I point out the state the hamburger
the chicken sandwich that you're eating
the schnitzel okay these these pieces of
meat came off the bodies of living
animals who did
to be murdered who didn't want to suffer
and die who didn't want to be tormented
it is the most profitable business on
this planet since the beginning of time
animal slavery nothing comes close not
cars not gasoline not oil not computers
nothing compares to the amount of money
being made off the backs of animals
literally I want to show people what's
going on because if you watch the news
if you watch TV the advertisements are
happy cards so I went to a
slaughterhouse on my own to see what was
going on I heard their screams I smelled
death in the air one of the most
disgusting things to smell fear and
death why don't they show you
slaughterhouse and say hey this is where
your hamburger comes from this is where
your chicken nuggets come from they
intentionally lie to you I don't lie I
intentionally tell you the truth because
I think if you saw what was going on in
the slaughterhouse no logical person
could choose to continue to eat animal
flesh it is sad that we can't talk to
kids about the truth about what's going
on in the world every second just so you
know of every minute of every hour of
every day
female animals are raped to impregnate
them every second animals are being
killed in America today 30 million
innocent beings will be murdered for a
sandwich well we're talking 12 million
people were killed by the Nazis in one
year alone on this planet 60 billion
land animals 90 billion marine animals
are tortured tormented and killed in the
world's most massive Holocaust that's
just in one year alone and when we teach
children that the Jewish Holocaust was
evil but then we send animals to their
deaths
to the slaughterhouses in the same
extermination trucks that send Jews to
their death we're committing a gross
error remember I don't do things to be a
politician I don't say things that
people want
to say I speak the truth and the truth
is harsh I know people don't want to
hear that there's a Holocaust taking
place that they're taking part in but
that's a fact I call it human beings
murders of animals that's what we do
that's the truth the truth is harsh they
must look at us like we are Devils we
cut things off their bodies their horns
while they're fully conscious off the
cows we cut the beaks off of hens we rip
the testicles out of baby pigs when
they're born we have treated our cousins
in fur and feathers so horribly that
beyond the doubt if they ever formed an
organized religion the devil would be
depicted in human form put yourself in
the animals position imagine somebody
raped you to impregnate you you gave
birth to this baby this baby was stolen
from you at birth that baby was fattened
up with corn and soy and wheat and oats
that baby was put on a concentration
camp truck sent to a slaughterhouse hung
upside down fully conscious in front of
all of her own species screaming
terrified and fear knife shoved into you
know her throat cut up into pieces
where's the justification for this this
is why vegans get so militant because I
don't want to be a two-legged devil to
the animals or to anybody no injustice
can live forever
sadly injustice can live for hundreds or
even thousands of years but no lie can
last forever and people are becoming
aware change is slow it took 400 years
to convince white people in America not
to own blacks you can see why this is
taking so long
I speak against speciesism in the same
way nelson mandela spoke against racism
we live on a planet that murders animals
a species istic plan and understand like
a racist who thinks that their race is
better than another race speciesist
think that the human species is superior
to animals and we have the right to harm
and kill any species we choose where do
humans get off owning and
shrilling living beings do you know that
if you took humans off this planet the
extinction of humans would benefit
everything that exists the animals to
force the air the water the mountains if
the bees disappear everything falls
apart this is how special invaluable
bees are to the world
the issue is we just need to change the
way we view animals we have to realize
humans aren't the only beings on this
planet and we're not more important than
animals because this is the first form
the hatred humans are taught racism
sexism anti-semitism heterosexism these
are branches of hatred the route is
speciesism when you're kid growing up
you tell hey be nice to the dog be nice
to the cat but that cow of that chicken
yeah he doesn't count just kill them
screw them be nice to the horse be upset
when somebody poaches a rhino be upset
if somebody cuts the fins off of a shark
hey but that turkey neck kill them
Thanksgiving it's a holiday so the kid
is confused growing up so when we get
down to talking about discrimination and
why it's wrong where it comes from it
all stems from that somebody looks and
acts differently than you if you taught
a child growing up that hey just because
that chicken looks differently than you
do that chicken has every right to live
that spider has every right to live just
like you do how is that child gonna grow
up and look at a different person who's
a different size shape and color how is
that kid gonna look at that person in
hatred with violence speciesism by
eradicating that we can bring peace to
this planet you said my steak I'm very
big on language that steak was never
yours okay that steak is a euphemism by
the way that's cow flesh that flesh
belongs to another living being so we
always want to say leather when it's cow
skin even the terms bacon with what's
bacon you mean pig flesh you 75% of the
animals on this planet our herbivores oh
so why do we try to justify human
behavior based on line behavior a shark
behavior is your clothes on and I notice
that you have a cell phone and you have
a computer it is unfair to pick one
thing the Lions do that you want to
mimic when you don't want to mimic
anything else they do you notice that
convenient argument we just want to do
with the lines do when they eat antelope
you put a two-year-old child in a crib
with a bunny rabbit and an apple let me
know when the child eats the bunny
rabbit and plays with the Apple we are
purely herbivores we have no carnivorous
or omnivorous instincts whatsoever it's
an unfair comparison you're not a lion
and just so you know lions are
carnivores humans are not we are
herbivores 100 percent up and down
physiologically if your jaw moves from
side to side in a grinding motion and
you chew your 100% herbivore if you are
a meat-eater like a lion your jaw would
only go like this up and down rip and
swallow if you sweat through your pores
to cool yourself your herbivore see the
problem that I have is when people lie
about why they harm animals that animals
don't think that they can't feel that
they're not smart that I need my protein
that we can do it in a humane way we
can't throw this word humane out there
when we're talking about rape torture
and murder you can't put the word he
made next to it so if I go and meet a
woman at a bar I buy her some drinks I
bring her some flowers I take her back
and put on some soft music some teddy
pendergrass and dance and we look at
each other's eyes and I slip her a date
rape drug and raper is that humane why
not she didn't feel a thing see because
the act of rape is evil okay the act of
murder is evil you can't do it in a nice
way okay we have to stop thinking that
there's a nice we in fact you know what
the nice way to kill is not to kill
that's a nice way I noticed that
religious people love to worship things
that we created in God's name the Bible
the Koran Stars of David and to cross
but nobody worships anything that God
created the water polluted the air
polluted everything to force cut it down
anything that God made we destroy
anything that we made in God's name we
worship so my condemnation isn't about
God
what religious people do in God's name
over the years as I've talked to tens of
thousands of people I've noticed that
people who have been oppressed Jews
Hispanics women blacks they always
respond better to this revolution that
I'm involved in because they understand
oppression they've been through it they
know what it's like to be treated like
nothing like their lives don't matter
people who have been harmed
understand why it's wrong to harm
somebody else so I want to eradicate the
lies and get down to the issues at hand
I'll show you hospitals full of people
with heart disease cancers diabetes
osteoporosis kidney problems etc all
stemming from animal protein the main
cause of every major disease on this
planet now here's what I love about the
health benefits of veganism when you're
being altruistic you should never expect
anything in return right when you're
vegan you get a lot of great things in
return your health your good to the
earth because let's face it the worst
form of environmental destruction is
animal agriculture that's right so
there's some great benefits and
kickbacks
but without a clear conscience without
mental health we can't have physical
health so if you're gonna focus on the
physical health aspects and miss this
aspect
you're still not right I think when you
put violence in you get violence out you
consume discrimination and death you're
gonna you know exude the same horribly
what's wrong with somebody choosing to
be compassionate choosing to be good to
the environment so trolden don't have to
starve to death around the world while
we're feeding 50% of the world's crops
the 60 billion land animals in the meat
dairy and egg industries and find peace
on this planet by eradicating speciesism
you can start you can giving compassion
to the animal kingdom to the end
kingdom then you start living peacefully
with the planet in with each other and
peace begins at the dinner table because
we claim to be moral beings we claim
that all right from wrong we claim to be
compassionate and as long as humans make
these claims I'm gonna be in everyone's
face and say you can't do it halfway the
path to peace is through veganism so
it's logical to want to be vegan to want
to reduce and eliminate pain and
suffering as I pointed out to people
most people same people logical people
make that next step it's thrilling to
know that people are paying attention
and making massive change and as we go
back in time and look at all the other
people that we adore now collectively we
all agree Gandhi and dr. Martin Luther
King and all these people Rosa Parks and
Cesar Chavez you know they were not
loved during their time they were
despised they wanted to make change
massive change it's only later on that a
society looks back at revelry
he was great he was just trying to break
bring peace and justice this stuff has
to stop
you
