OMEGALUL mate it takes WAAAAAAY more murdered plants to feed a animal before its murdered for you to eat vs just eating plants LUL. Juju i was gonna ask you before the trolls in your thread but im assuming you were vegan a small part of your life. why did YOU think this is okay? people need to look into a situation unbiased which i dont think most can, they have to learn all the arguements and make an emotional connection. it takes time and the light of truth to be shined a few times before they see taking an animals life is unnecessary to their own development

[@adhesivecookie]

Gravybake Gill in a 100 years' time, humans will be consuming mostly insect and plant protein. So, no, your grandchildren will not be consuming meat at all. Meat and dairy are resource intensive and incredibly unsustainable. On the other hand, you can't complain when you and/or children suffer from metabolic diseases as a result of your lifestyle choices, lol.

[@adhesivecookie]

shoe laces insects contain no meat. They do not contain muscle fibres the same way animals do and they are a much simpler organism. Insect protein is much easier and readily digested compared to animal flesh. Please look at yourself before you call anyone a "dunce".

Nikki Maybe she won't right now, but it's all these moments that touch our hearts that eventually add up over time. Becoming vegan is much like a journey. For some the path there is short, for others it is long. When y uou live with an open heart, eventually you will get there. Just like with Ed, sometimes it takes just one thing to happen where it switches your thinking and allows the truth to settle in. The best thing you can do is lead by example. ✌❤🌱🌎

[@bunny-oi3il]

Juliya Kruglaka I cried too, people that eat these animals should face up to what they're paying for. It makes me so angry!

[@Jaisee14]

The problem is that most people have no idea what goes on in these slaughter houses. They really have no idea where their Dairy, Meat and Eggs they consume come from and the pain, torture, suffering, rape and murder that happens so that they can consume these products. Education and awareness is the key to ending this travesty.

[@ToxiciteaTV]

Forceful artificial insemination can absolutely be called that. The animals do not and cannot give consent. In fact the industry itself calls the restraining devices "rape racks."

[@ToxiciteaTV]

honest bob Rape is never about pleasure, it's about power. Please educate yourself. The dairy industry literally calls their own devices rape racks- meaning they use them to rape the cows. Sticking your arm into something's anus to hold the cervix in place so you can stick a rod up the vagina to inseminate the cow without their consent sure sounds like rape to me (a rape survivor). Just because a penis isn't involved doesn't mean it's not rape.

[@ToxiciteaTV]

No, I'm really not. Please refer to 3, 6, 7. 1 is applicable minus "of another person." We can agree to disagree, Bob. But you should be aware enough to realize they probably wouldn't need to be restrained if it wasn't rape. ;) Cheers dude, and open up your heart to compassion for all living beings.

[@bornyesterday8976]

Maryanne Maugeri morals are questionable. Every person has a different set. You find a wallet loaded with cash....hand it in or keep it...theyre morals too. So im afraid morals have no place in this discussion, thats the same old arguement you lot have got, the only thing you come out with is morals. Change the record. Nor do we need to justify eating meat. But if you want justification its called having a healthy balanced diet as our bodies require.

[@veganspace]

Maryanne Maugeri 😥😭

[@bornyesterday8976]

@Newbie Programmer talking utter shite. Morals are subjective. A set of values an individual has. If you dont understand that everyone has different ones then you shouldn't be here. You simply cannot base an arguement set on morals. Thats all theseretarded vegans dont get. Constantly go on about morals. See this idiot ed? Why do you follow his lies? The amount of times ive called him out to debate is ridiculous. He runs, he hides. You see he will only deal with folk he feels he can force his opinion on. He will tell you about gas chambers etc......all absolute bollox. Hes nothing but a liar, and trouble causer. Approx 80% of you vegans turn back to meat......when they wake up and realise how unhealthy plant based diet actually is. Now i could give you facts on health issues regards it but ive found you lot only ever listen to your own voice and opinion. Nobody else counts. Just to start you off have a think about your body........look in a mirror and smile, then look closely and ask yourself why your teeth are made the way they are. When you worked that out come back and talk. Not intetested until you do realise. If you choose to reply then if its not about your teeth and accept why theyre set up then dont bother typing a single letter.

But on the other hand I sometimes feel so angry and sad, because of the people who aren't just "head in the sand", but have seen and heard the murder and genuinely aren't affected and will look you in the eye and laugh and say "I don't care, they're just animals."

[@SoftSemtex]

been vegan for over a month, partially because of you. I'm genuinely ashamed of how i bought into the myth of humane raising and slaughtering of animals. Just show young kids some cows and pigs on a sanctuary farm and ask them if they want to kill and eat them, i am sure none of them would. I am almost sure we could bring up a whole generation of vegans just by organizing regular school trips to farms and slaughterhouses. And by all means, show kids the images of injured chickens who are left to die after an accident. But we all know that actual carnivores like cats, or even omivores like bears have to constantly convince their young to kill other animals, because they really don't want to, but it's good for them... -.- Sorry, rant over^^ Just thank you for what you do

[@andih6658]

[@1221solstice2012]

This really does change us as people, for the far better but with so much grief on our shoulders. To stop denying the truth of animal use & slaughter is a heavy burden, but to no longer be a cause of it lifts that burden considerably. To spread the word and bring new people on board lessens it even more. It's why these noxious gaslighters are always trying to convince us that it's all for nothing...but they are not to be listened to with their sorry attempts to keep humanity in moral/ethical stagnation. Btw, Cookie looks an awful lot like our rescue dog Kirby, same adorable short chunky legs, etc., etc., but Kirby's only about 10 lbs., hard to tell how big Cookie is.

[@MantaRay10]

This is so horrible - so upsetting. I've just got back from being out with friends and some of them asked me why I was vegan so I gave some good arguments. I like to think that it gave them food for thought and I'm sure it did. Small steps.

[@helensmith4126]

MantaRay10 That's amazing, good work :-) x

[@VEE3RDEYE]

Thank you for bearing witness in the snow! Powerful stuff as always

[@Oxxxshy]

[@juliekaufmann5645]

Ed💗 I love you for your role in my journey and I am eternally grateful that you helped open my eyes

[@hcat3110]

They look so scared 😢 I can’t believe I’ve been lying to myself for so long.

[@pennative]

I'm very proud to support Ed's activism via his patreon. I am so happy that I can contribute to his important work. Please consider supporting him, as well. Chuck him a couple bucks a month.

[@NikhitaPrabhudesai]

I hope you know that that incident 4 years ago has resulted in you changing so many thousands of lives, and save so many beings. Thank you Ed for being so amazing.

[@danielbrown8737]

@Earthling Ed i live in Manchester and i see that ian hosey van every single week. i am vegan and it tears me apart to see these poor beings sent to be unnecessarily killed, Everyone involved in activism is doing an amazing job we should be proud x

💔💔💔💔💔heart breaking

[@healingwitharchangelhaniel2074]

absolutely amazing and beautiful to see these animals

[@marje2025]

The consequences of consumption.... so true. If there was a short video of the gas chambers we could all share I think it would be powerful, a lot of people do not know they have to endure this torture 😭😭😭😭

[@xoxanimefangirlxox]

@earthlinged yes please make a short video of just the pig part, I know if I share a long video most people won't watch sadly... 😞

[@raelynfortier8576]

Binged through your channel recently and have spent the researching and feeling this intense desire to change my lifestyle. Thank you for your content, your passion and resources you provide!!!

[@irasemamartinez2222]

What a beautiful connection you have with those sweet birds :) so special you met them. Lots of love to you Ed. The 21st century is vegan

[@bruisley709]

I am being 100% honest in saying that this video and other videos like this has made me put my foot down and become vegan so sad I cant bare how much pain they would be feeling

[@LouisGedo]

A VEGAN WORLD. ...it's happening!

[@savannahdexter368]

Louis Gedo yes it is. ❤❤. Your suffering is going to end soon animals friends

[@LouisGedo]

patriarchy AKA patrick archie manson , every damn time! ;)

[@planetofthevegans880]

Yes, we thank GOD that a vegan world is happening! ❤

[@brothertn708]

Louis Gedo no it’s not! All vegans are turning to meat and animal products because they finally see that animals do wonderful things to human health...

[@brothertn708]

veganism for the win, you silly little rabbit! Of course all stores offer vegan foods at ridiculous prices so the few vegans that stop by can buy those expensive products, it’s called marketing and works quite well on weak minded people. And that does not mean that the world is turning vegan! If anything the world is turning Keto/Carnivore because so many people have gotten sick on vegan diets! My sister in law began getting seizures after going on a vegan diet so she stopped being vegan. And there are many ex-vegans on KZbin turning Keto/Carnivore too and they look amazing!

[@JoseRomero-vy9ey]

It’s beautiful what you’re doing for all the living beings Ed. Thank you so much for all your efforts. You’re really making a difference ❤️

[@zoehill3656]

My heart breaks tears i can’t comprehend this - look in their eyes hear their screams please please let this stop

[@123Luke456]

Keep up the good work!

[@RaeLikesFroot]

♥️♥️♥️ I really want to bear witness but I get so emotional even watching footage of animal abuse

[@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094]

I know what u mean... :_(

[@withgoddess8300]

I can't. You can only do what you CAN do.

[@vegangelo_29]

Ed, thank you so much. Thank you, thank you so much.

[@InMyRepEra.13]

Never stop what you do, thank you Ed.💜💚🌱🌏🐖🐄🦃🐑

[@mathdon1106]

Don't burn out man! thanks for your hard work, i want to join you the next time you are in London,

[@ed.winters]

I won't man, don't worry :) surrounded by some very good people who keep me strong. Hope to see you at an event soon!

[@animalsareourangels93]

Hell on Earth for these Innocent sentient animals!!😢. Cookie is so very precious!!!!!

[@aleisha414]

Ed, what’s also so beautiful about the vigils are the vibrations of love that those poor animals get in their last moments; even if it’s one of the very few times they have felt love or the only love they have ever felt. Watching that man reach his hand up to allow the pig to smell him then caressing his snout...that was beautiful and important. If the tables were turned and I was the one caged up and tortured, I would be so grateful for that man, even if he couldn’t save him I’d take that love to my death. The love that is shared, the acknowledgment of pain the compassion that vibrates from every human to every pig, that is important.

[@theantdog4947]

Your videos always have a way of touching my heart and sparking my will to be more active in my communities. I learn a great deal watching you interact with people and seeing you experience these things just the way your able to articulate so profoundly. Thank you so much brother!

[@katrisspriordeen1735]

Oh my goodness, that Manchester thing was appalling! It's like gassing a young child to death! This is why I'm vegan. That one man sounded genuinely sorry for the animals, but at the end of the day we can't justify what they do in there can we? Those screaming pigs ripped my soul out, i wish i could rescue them all! I would like to know if you're against keeping pets though.

[@biancakekoa1363]

Katriss Priordeen it is, these animals that are going in there are babies. If they were left alone by humans, these poor sweeties would have still been by their mothers side

[@Miss7LU]

Thank you for everything you do. You an an angel from heaven

[@regipearce92]

I have binged watched many of your videos in the past few days. I admire you soooo much for what you do. Your tone, your words, your demeanor, and points that you make are spot on. Your name will always be on my list of heroes.

[@Braddha]

I have been vegetarian for 52 years, and vegan for four... Much of that time being ridiculed for my moral stance. So glad that the climate is finally changing, and immensely proud of your committed activism... Thank you.
