[@Choucheeeenn]

I'm vegan since 2009 and (obviously) I don't eat honey, but I don't like most of the justification about the reasons not to. In Western Europe, I never witness gasing bees, or horrible semen collection and harming queens. That happens in crazy massive places like in the USA. The reason I don't like this argument is because it seems similar to me, as anti-vegan that talk about how almonds are grown in the USA (monoculture, billions of bees brought there to pollinate etc...). Yes, almonds culture in the USA is absolutely mad, destroying nature and animals and should be banned, that doesn't make almonds a horrible product. In Sicily, they grow beautiful almond trees, other plants grow around and they don't use bees. In the same way, If you have bees and want honey, you have layered hives, and you leave them in the first layer (instead of replacing it with sugar that is obviously bad), and you only collect additional layers. There is no reason to kill any bee or to gas them (and they won't go anywhere, they are too happy in an adapted structure). Bee products (honey, but mainly propolis) have remarkable properties, so even in a perfect vegan world, I wouldn't be against having bees (with high standard rules) for pharmaceutical needs only. The only argument I thought was strong against bees, was from Earthling Ed, stating that bees aren't great pollinators and that they're competing against other insects which are better for the environment.

[@36ELRIC]

@@Choucheeeenn My sister worked as an ethical Bee Keeper. The only problem with it was you would often kill bees by accident when taking out the layers. Also the Queen is sometimes killed and replaced by another

[@dank5285]

I've been vegan for about 2 1/2 years now, and will never look back. I admit I first did it for the health benefits, but the ethical side comes into play not long afterwards, simply because I can take my stance without being a hypocrite. No meat eater can be comfortable with what happens to animals, yet they'll turn a blind eye and continue to support it. It's rather odd.

[@erichmyles4481]

I started for the environment, 4 years in and the idea of what I was doing to animals makes me literally feel sick. There's no wrong reason to be vegan imo

[@cindy652]

Most people who consume other animals and animal products do care. Unfortunately, there actually are people who don't care what happens to the animals.

[@3Diva]

@@erichmyles4481 The goal is to get people to stay vegan though too. Sadly there is a lot of people going "vegan" (in actualality just plant-based) for their health only and they never make the ethical connection and then go back to eating meat because they still see animals as a "food". I don't care WHY someone goes "vegan", as long as they also become actually vegan (as per it's definition as a moral and ethical stance) and STAY vegan. To stay vegan for life people usually need to make the ethical connection. Otherwise it's just far too easy for people to go back to their old ways. But once you start seeing animal meat for what it is, the tragic corpse of a sentient individual that was killed needlessly, a being that feels joy and pain that didn't want to die, then eating that corpse is no longer an option. It would be like someone handing you a dead dog or cat (though, tragically, some even eat those animals). For someone who's made the ethical connection, it doesn't register as "food" anymore though, but just the dead body of someone that wanted to live. So while there's "no wrong reason to be vegan", it's definitely important for people to eventually make the ethical connection with the animals, otherwise they're very very likely to stop being vegan sooner or later. Sadly we're seeing a lot of people in the "health" part of veganism who end up ditching it because they are mainly doing it as a part of a "plant-based health movement" and never did make the connection on an ethical and moral level.

[@annoyingbutmorallyconsistent]

[@_Crumpet]

For anyone who wants more reason to be against honey: Honey bees are named as such because they're so good at making it - they collect a lot of pollen and hang onto it well. That makes them poor pollinators compared to many other species of bee or even other insects. When honey bee populations are artificially inflated by humans, it has a big impact on wild pollinators and other insects competing for pollen, which affects the surrounding plants and other wildlife as a result.

[@rebelvgan4579]

everything we do affects the delicate balance of nature

[@Silzaress]

Very true! Main pollinators are wild bees (NOT honey bees), wasps and flies.

[@nvmffs]

Are you sure there isn't enough pollen to go around?

[@TheShockedboy]

Being from northern California, there are people that run Mobile hive companies. They travel for crop to crop to pollinate the plants you eat. A side affect of this is they have a constant food source so they produce an excess of honey. Also there a ton of bee keeper groups that will remove unwanted bees from your property, rather then the hive being exterminated. So just buy local honey, and you can avoid any unwanted suffering.

[@spliter227]

Commercial honey is a big no no for me but there is a company that gently takes small amounts of honey from wild hives in the Himalayas without smoke or disturbing the bees...that being said it's probably not sustainable for the whole world and i've not really had any honey since i went vegan years ago, just didnt miss it.

1) I’m vegan because I don’t want to be mean to any animals: not dogs, pigs, cats, cows, chickens, turkeys, lambs, rabbits, or anyone at all! 2) I’m vegan because I like to help the environment by not depleting the oceans of fish or to take the whales out and force them to do tricks in swimming pools.3) I’m vegan because I don’t want to pay anyone to burn down the rain forests to grow crops for cows who we created in the first place. I’d rather not rape cows into existence to begin with. I’d rather eat the plants directly instead of filtering them through an innocent animal who doesn’t deserve to die. 4) I’m vegan because I don’t want to pay anyone to pin down mother cows & force them to be pregnant and then to kidnap their baby boy cow for the purpose of murdering them, just so people can steal their milk and sell it in stores to use for their taste pleasure. 5) I’m vegan because, if I don’t feel right eating bacon, sausage or ham, because that means paying people in the pork industry to cut the tails, testicles & teeth off baby boy pigs & kill them at just 6 months old. I just don’t want anyone to do that to them. 6) I’m vegan because I don’t want to just say that I think animals have moral value. I want to show it with my actions. 7) I’m vegan because if you were the victim, I’d also protect you. 8) I’m vegan because I believe in telling the truth, in learning and in trying to undo the harm I did in the past.

Situation today is different a lot of alternative food choice is available however being too harsh on myself would not make it better. i tried my best to allign my actions ASAP and did steady steps towards same finish line - healthy life and limit partcipation on suffering, deforestations and animals cruelty. if anyone can do it faster, or quit from one day to another even better, deep respect🙏 converting to vegetarian🥈 - vegan🥇 has been deeply rewarding ever since🏆✨

He's a very kind man. He'll become Vegan 🥗❤️🥰

[@judysimmance657]

Is there a video with quick clips like the one you showed the guy here. It would be good to have quick clips on the phone ready to show people on the spot, this is the life and death of pigs or cows , chickens etc. Well done you are brave.

[@jonjonwp]

He's a great guy.

[@x-latetv-x6816]

Did you go fruitarian yet or is it too inconvenient, I completely understand if you don't because been fruitarian would be massively inconvenient.

[@Nick_Lyston]

Fantastic, Joey.

[@JL-zm6md]

I like this guy a lot. He's definitely going vegan

[@FurryTailor]

Carnage was what flipped me to going vegan overnight, fantastic film, I needed the comedy and to see how good the future could be

If more people were like him, Joey would be out of a job really fast! hehe

Oh Joey would be on to bigger and better things :-)

[@sarahdeshay1394]

Vegetarian since ‘76, vegan since ‘16, don’t take any supplements and haven’t seen a doctor since I was a small child. 61 years old and in great health and physical condition. Animal products and processed food are making humans fat and unhealthy.

[@harveyplantharvester1502]

People really have to get goaded into caring nowadays. The chemicals in the food and the pharma drug/shots they get since birth fill them with apathy. But Joey is the ONE to do it! Thank God for Joey, he wakes 'em up!

Just checking to see if I'm being shadowbanned for questioning B12.

Hi Joey, I am already Vegan (because of you actually. I used to be Vegetarian, until I saw you and Ed Winters in separate appearances on This Morning and listening to you both talk), so I had to stop the video at the footage of the pigs in the farrowing crates, I am already traumatised, I don't need anymore. But thank you for all of your activism work.

[@Johny40Se7en]

This was bloody magic. It's almost like you've asked a vegan person to sit down and ask you questions 😆 The level of openness in that person is so wonderful. And about the "I heard all the arguments under the Sun, like, don't plants feel pain? Isn't a tomato as sentient as a pig? It's vegan propaganda!" 🤭😅 What exactly do vegans have to gain by sharing such information with people? It's almost as if the people who consume animal products, believe that vegans show them that stuff to get a kick of seeing them in a state of disgust, or anger. Shame that a person don't flip those arguments, and instead question what the animal farming industry will lose, if a person was to go vegan 😉

Earliest I’ve made it here. Hiya Joey!

[@allibird]

Great video! This guy seems very reasonable and nice. I wish meat products were less accessible and people like this would be vegan in an instant.

@ShapeShiftingVegan Why are you?

@@Cowz19999 The fact that he can sdmit that eating animals is wrong and he should do something about it

[@Cowz19999]

@@PauIdenino In what world is this a sign of intelligence? Having the same morals as you makes people intelligent? Sounds like a no true Scotsman fallacy to me. Morality and intelligence are 2 different matters.

[@PauIdenino]

@@Cowz19999 That's a strawman fallacy. I never said that having the same morals as ME makes someone intelligent. I said that this guy is smart and my reasoning wad that he can admit that eating animals is wrong and that he should do something about it.

[@Charliesmum2016]

Joey is right, I was so deficient in Vitamins prior to being vegan. My iron and Vitamin D were extremely low when I was eating meat and the only thing that fixed it were supplements.

I don't hate vegans and I agree that some places do torture their animals before they die, and that is bad, but I really don't care if we kill an animal to get food, no matter how we do it.

[@mrwallygator501]

@@MrBCB Then you are a sad sad person (like most) that does not care for the suffering of others. your two comments just make me think you are a little troll just looking for attention, and this is all the attention you will be getting from me. Again, try to go vegan and make the world less crappy for the animals, yourself, and everyone else :) Have a good one!

A man who’s heart had already sensed the path fwd, but simply needed confirmation. You, Joey, were that gentle nudge. If this were the only fruit yr activism was to bear, wouldn’t it be worth it? I think so.
