“It is the anonymity of animal victims that makes us deaf to their cries.” ― Luise Rinser

[svedrics]

Nobody in my life that I talked with changed their ways. They do not care, and it left me defeated and severely depressed. I was so frustrated with people and got so bad that I was prescribed antidepressants. All because I wanted people to open their hearts and be kind to animals. It lasted for a very long time but thankfully I started feeling better. Having to live with 3 meat eaters is still anything but fun but I recently met a few activist and I don't feel so alone anymore

How do you feel about people who are fully aware of the suffering they are causing but continue to participate because they like eating the corpses of tortured animals ?

[BenvanBroekhuijsen]

That is all nice and well, but there are many many meat eaters that even if they are being told the truth, they just don't give a fuck and continue their ways. That is my own family, friends and even my partner.

It is very hard to not hate that at times.

I thought like a meat eater. Until one night I watched local news and a local dairy farmer got charged. It’s not easy i know . My husband eats meat. I’m the only vegan in my my husbands family and at work.

Why are we calling animal abusers "meat eaters"? What does eating meat have to do with riding horses, macerating baby chicks, paying for cows to be forcibly inseminated, wearing skin and fur, animal testing...???

[Rescue]

No matter how many times you tell someone that they're paying for the slaughtering of innocent animals in the most horrific ways they still don't care so it is hard at times to respect someone who has the mentality that they don't care about anyone but themselves. I personally am angry at the meat and dairy Industries for lying to people for so long. You're right in the fact that both meat eaters and non meat eaters need to stand up for the animals and not put up with the lies and greedy corporations anymore.

Imagine how amazing it would be to wake up tomorrow morning and find out that animal agriculture is being abolished and phased out. It could happen if the government stopped the subsidies 😔

[elaineateoate]

Valiant effort. Thank you for the different ways you try to open people's eyes.

David that livestream was awesome this morning. I hope you do more. And your sentiment is SPOT ON. As vegans let's not aim the intensity/disdain at the person but aim it at the big money who laughs their way to the bank as people naively pay for violent systems and diminish their health...

[okiedokie]

Most of us had a time in our life when we were not vegan and there is always room to grow.

[PlusUltraVitality]

No problem at all with people who have cognitive dissonance, or who do it out of true necessity (but truly honor the animal...)
I have a huge problem with people who act high and mighty, proud, and righteous about it. The people who smile and laugh knowingly at the pain and suffering of animals, who say they don't care because it's delicious. Huge issue with that

[sharonspedding]

Such a passionate speech, David. All you stated was so true. So many people experience the ostrich effect. Veganism is growing, the lies from the meat, egg, and dairy industry are growing. We as vegans need to stand strong and call out the BS

[PA-hiwj]

If we choose a vegan life, then we know better & therefore do better❤

[barbaraibiel]

Maybe these kinds of excuses could be given for dairy and eggs but not for meat. Meat eaters are not so stupid as to think meat grows on trees. Even if animals were painlessly put to sleep, that is still murder. That is what we do to criminals in the U.S.
No one is entitled to being liked. Everyone has a right to his/her emotions. What you should have said is, “Vegans should not express hatred towards meat eaters”. Then I would agree.

[actdontreact]

Great points, hopefully people listen

[Navya]

I still hate abusers and those that support them. Ignorance is not an excuse for abuse. Shame.

[dianafalletta]

Man thanx ❤ it’s hard . We just stronger

[harveyplantharvester]

Absolutely brilliant points, David, I agree 100% - these people go nuts against animal abusers - cats, dogs, raccoons, dolphins, just name the animal!!!! -- all except for the poor cows, chickens, pigs, lambs, fish and turkeys. The dots need to be connected & personal responsibility acknowledged.... we'll get there one day!

I was in the livestream you had and I felt like I should've asked about your thoughts on meat eating in the early 1900s or late 1800s. There was no modern industry propaganda and factory farming in that time period.
