0:11 the attention to details.
Like dogs, pigs don't see the same rang of the color spectre so they included this detail for the pigs point of view.

ok so i was just watching my video right and this ad happens. for some reason i like to watch ads in case i find something new i want to support or something i want to buy etc. but i saw the ad with the dude at the restaurant and he was supposed to kill this pig for his dinner. my family is vegetarian and my mother told me about these kinds of restaurants before but i laughed it off "how could that even exist?". when he was in the room with the pig i had watery eyes. like any normal sob story ad for homeless dogs or some shit. but i was like you better fucking not. then he doesnt and pets the pig and junk and i was smiling because "wow hes a good person i wish there were more people like him". when those people come in and the pigs screams it just got to me. so i had a mental breakdown after the ad and was fucking sobbing for a solid 10-15 minutes just sitting here on this chair. so here i am now, typing this comment with my tear stained face.
i had this same sort of reaction when i was on some form of social media or other and i saw what pig breeding houses to do pigs who are sick or have a disease. the fucking throw them in a pit and bury them alive. i also cried then.
thank you for reading this far i know im an emotional idiot when it comes to this sort of thing, but i dont cry very much. it's only animals. i didnt cry when my grandfather died (i know this makes me sound like a sociopath but like hear me out) but i cried during this ad. i just wish there weren't psychopaths like those in the ad who create the idea of that restaurant, make the restaurant themselves, work there, or eat dinner there.
humans are horrible creatures, and i hate the human race so fucking much. animals at least have a heart
thanks for hearing me out.

The saddest thing is, it is a norm and when we reach to grab a package of meat we see it as meat not as a persons cut body parts and organs. Our eyes and ears are adapted to it that is why its very normal and simple like those thousands of mosquitoes we have murdered in our lifetime willingly yet unconsciously. We being an animal can't relate our worldly matters with another animal. Though no other animal doesn't know this they act as a unit in a chain but we so called intelligent animals knowing all this can't realize our non superiority. When we will understand that we are not here just to make families and die, we are here to realize how grand our family is and how great role we have to contribute in it. A man who has realized this whole universe as his own kingdom, he has nothing silly desires left, he walks as a king and rules his kingdom by spreading love and prosperity to everyone and leave his mark in millions of hearts.💖

[alexflenner]

This is amazing, helped me realize eating cows, pigs, and chickens, isn't any different than eating cats and dogs.Really made me feel even guiltier than before!

Nice to meet everyone. I'm from Taiwan. I'm a vegetarian.
We love what we say. We always say that we must love animals and then we shouldn't eat them.
The concept is so easy to realize. Go vegan. :-)

[diannegoode]

I would likethe animal loving British to see this.

[couch_potatoes]

The only thing I’m wondering after seeing that video is what does a poodle taste like

[Commander_Cat]

I'm not religious but I wonder if it's all a test. We as humans are different because we actually have a choice. The day we stop killing animals might be the day something extraordinary happens. May it be something out of this world or the remarkable beginning of true paradise.

Wow very well done. Can I help translating the subtitles in Italian?

[prajjwal]

The fact that the pig and that cow were super cute❤️ how are they not treated as pets in the western society i wonder. Maybe some do, not the majority.

In this film I feel happy for the animals that are now iPad instead of food but really sad for the pets that are now dinner

[PennexLunnec]

[HerbEVore-tihs]
