Vegan Street Activism ft @vegangaze

Under the banner of animal rights group We The Free, I recently teamed up with the awesome Ellie of @vegangaze and took to the streets of Norwich to try and convince people to stop eating, wearing and otherwise exploiting animals...

Apologies for the sound which is a little hard to hear in places. Unfortunately, my sound recorder broke down on the day and we had to just use an iPhone. Bear with it though, there are some real gems!

I'm Paul Kerton, a former Personal Trainer and Vegan Nutritionist, I am now a full-time Social Media Influencer. Not so long ago, in a misguided attempt to try and grow muscle as quickly as possible, I ended up eating more animal products than probably anyone you've ever met. Through research, I came to learn the deleterious effects that eating even quite trivial amounts of animal products has on one's health and through personal experience, I found that far from being a hindrance to sports performance, a well-planned vegan diet is actually optimal! Then with an open heart, I looked at how we treat animals in order for them to end up on our plates and it shook me to the core. I could not believe that for so long I fell for the lies that others tell us, that we tell ourselves, in order that we perpetuate this destructive behaviour. Destructive to ourselves, the beautiful, intelligent sentient beings that are here with us and indeed our very planet. To try and put right my part in all of this I was compelled to overcome my fear of being filmed for YouTube and television, appearing on the radio and more recently public speaking. On a spiritual level, I've come to realise that my fellow man too is suffering. If I won't see harm come to a chicken I've never met then why would I be unkind to my brother man? If someone is being aggressive or unkind toward me, surely the suffering inflicted on them in the past is simply spilling over? Do I want to add to that, or can I step out of my ego long enough to forgive them and maybe break the cycle of negativity? This former, quick to anger "meat-head" bouncer has been on one transformative journey!

With Vegan activism done right, you're saving many lives and preventing unnecessary suffering.

[MrRibbett]

Great job putting your points over in a clear, friendly, and non judgemental way. Noice.

[tofudoesntscream]

Good on you for doing some direct activism; super important. We must use our voices to advocate for animals whenever possible. If we were the most oppressed beings on Earth, we would want the same thing.

[pomodorino]

Thanks so much for spreading the message on the street! I think you two are very effective activists!

[Pjvenom]

A dynamic duo, very well done guys big fair play for your ethical efforts.💪🧠🌱

[someguy]

Glad to see a collab by two of my favorite vegan vloggers!

[GrumpyVeganGrandad]

where you nervous at first ? I was, but its a great feeling chatting to people once you get started . Bloody wind though !!

[iridescent]

Nice outreach, the music in the background was a bit nerve-wrecking, but it was still possible to understand what you said. Hopefully they will make up their minds and go vegan.

[someguy]

Worth watching all the way through, despite the sound.

[Twistedhippy]

Based Collaboration, two special LADS in one place!

[isaacperal]

Great chat. Veganism is madly growing now

[DJLirnl]

It's great seeing you guys out there doing outreach. Well done🌱

[marcoingrasci]

Great video Paul. So much better to educate people in the approach you took, friendly, educational and lead by example. Well done brother 👏 Also, wicked jacket, where is that from?

[nicolao.dos.santos]

Thanks for everything you do for the animals! 🥰

[nellywilliams]

This is awesome. Hench thank you for making a difference. People need to understand that animals are not ingredients and our world is badly affected by animal agriculture. Keep up the good work. 👍👍

[joekingirl]

Very great video as always Hench love to see you grinding on the streets keep up the good work 🙏💚

Great activism hench and vegan gaze. No one will throw hissy fit or disrespect when hench is around.

[mcc]

Legendary video Sir hench and vegan gaze . Love this . This take guts and integrity 💪🌱💚. Keep the the heros fight. Take care . Looking foward to a livestream soon.

If more people went about activism this way, I think it would be much easier to get people on board.

The best thing I could think to help even more would be Paul in a muscle shirt during the spring and summer to show off the shape he is in. It only helps debunk the narrative that vegans don't have any muscle.

One day I'll be able to do exactly that. Definitely getting there, and the greatest part is all muscle has been gained while vegan. Only a couple months while NOT vegan and I can verify that the recovery and overall performance/way I feel now is no way even comparable to how I felt while eating animals.

Great job bestie. Love seeing you do this because you're really.... REALLY good at it man. I'd love to see more videos like this and maybe one day, after I slap on more muscle, we can both do something like this together from both sides.of the pond :)

End animal factory farming. I think that's the maim problem . It's even a topic to discuss with non-vegans . They would agree too . Vegans and non-vegans can work together to end factory farming 💪💪
