This short comedy was inspired by a friend claiming chickens were slaughtered towards the end of their natural lives. I tried to keep it fun rather than labouring points (like pigs being smart). People seem keen to let me know when they think I've failed, but at least one person stopped eating meat after watching it. In case you're confused, the aliens are aware of predation but are surprised humans would still choose to eat animals given that we are obviously advanced enough to do otherwise, while the reference to Chinese, like Japanese and Canadians, refers to inhabitants (and the Yulin Dog Meat Festival specifically) rather than ethnicity.

COMMON ARGUMENTS AGAINST VEGANISM:

"Other animals eat animals!"

"We're meant to eat meat!"

"Eating plants is no better!"

"Animals are killed feeding vegans!"
Animals are killed harvesting crops but the data is poor. Populations are counted before and after harvesting so animals that simply leave (research suggests the majority) when the combine harvester approaches are ignored. Regardless, not only is killing animals not the purpose of arable farming (and tens of billions more animals are killed in animal agriculture each year) but more crops go to feeding livestock than (directly) to feeding humans, so meat eaters are still responsible for more of these deaths than vegans (even before the animals are slaughtered for their meat). If you're concerned about creatures being chopped up, veganism would be the best course. A vegan diet results in far fewer animal deaths than other diets.

Saw a clip of this on TikTok. Great production and script! The after credits scene was a great touch too, lmfao! 🦖

[BenjaminPitkin]

That moment when you're on a double date, and your friend doesn't know when to shut up. :)

"Do you eat each other?"

Well lads, normally? No. No guarantees when things gets tough though.

[scousesaus]

This has 'humans are space orcs' vibes and Im here for it.

Ever see the live-action He-Man film? There's a scene where the heroes have come to *our* world and they snag some fast food. One of them says "I wonder why they put the food on these little white sticks." One of her companions says "Those are rib bones", and she says "You mean this used to be an animal? What a barbaric world." Her companion keeps eating, though. That scene has stuck with me ever since I was a little kid.

Bro, when lion eats antelope nobody judges it, but when I eat my neighbor's dog, suddenly I am a psychopath

[TheGreatMoonFrog]

"Do you eat eachother?!" Should have been "well...only on rare occassion."

[natethewrench]

Dumps back on earth; looks at each other: "Tacos?" ..."Tacos"

[olivercorrigan]

The "if the farm's near an abattoir" line got me 😂

Besides all the other things that one can say about this production i want to thank the designer of the spacecraft. It's pretty hard to come up with a unique design that wasn't seen like a hundred times and given that in this short movie there was no need for any realism whatsoever this spacecraft is amazing.

[janbaer]

They did a great job. They took just as long as the story required. They didn't try to stretch it out.

[super]

"How dare you madam, we are CIVILIZED animals!"

[Wattchn]

lmao that cut between "what is your jacket made from" and them being dumped back to earth was hilarious

[TheBehm]

“How old are the chickens when you kill them”
“We’re not sure…”
“42 days.”
“How do you know that?!”
“It’s on the KFC website” 😂

[tanithrosenbaum]

You don't need enemies when you got a friend like leather jacket guy... 😅

[beardyben]

When they said "our females will adore you" I low-key thought, "wait, they didn't include themselves...are they not female?...are the females completely different on their planet?" Honest guy might have saved them from an undesirable experience.

[skaldlouiscyphre]

Plot twist: It's our reputation as apex predators that keeps the aliens from visiting.

[phloriaernas]

~Ok. Ok. Ok. Is there anything you guys don't eat?~
Average Valenwood Bosmer: "Plants."

[mermadeofgarbage]

The honesty though. A little credit to that guy for the honesty

[mattthemouse]

Seeing Luna Lovegood serving this is so on character for her
