And I understand people being angry because they feel angry, and that is okay and I get it. But he has honestly been helping to feed a community struggling with feeding itself for decades.

He never said he was never going to sell meat. He was saying that sh*t about loving them about a year or more ago, and at that time he was probably not doing those things. The yaks in the pictures might be ones he keeps as pets, we don't know. Changing your mind and evolving your business based on that change is not lying - it's just stupid. Jeffree is a strange and problematic person, we know that. I don't like him but this critique is sloppy. Naming an animal meant for slaughter is not uncommon. That's what's happening on those small scale farms you seem to like. They don't get names in a large-scale meat-factory. You can make one vegan product without being a vegan company. It's also very common. Please don't get into the whole GMO-debate. GMOs are not bad by default and genetic modofication has been done to every crop regardless if you grow it in your garden or if it's grown in an industrial setting. You claim to be uncomfortable with trying to influence other peoples ideologies but huge parts of this video is you being naive and talking about how some things feel right and some things feel wrong regardless of the facts behind your statements. You are ill-informed about so many things regarding agriculture, farming, animal husbandry etc and still that is largely where you seem to base your arguments. In ideological and subjective feelings about things you know very little about. You are good at discussing tea, and this is not tea. This is reaching in my mind.

[@freyaalinaceleste]

This comment here is EXACTLY my point. I don’t like Jeffree myself, he is a problematic person, but having grown up on, and spent a lot of time on many a farm this is just how farming works. Most natural farmers treat their animals like pets, they care about them and want them to live a good life until their time comes. Even dairy cows often end up in the slaughter when they’re past it and go into animal food etc. That is just how it works. I can’t explicitly say, oh he didn’t lie, but have these people never had an idea after their original one? He trademarked every area, are they gonna cry when he starts selling yak wool ponchos? No. I think people just have a vehement need to hate everything he does. I understand the people that are anti-meat in the first place being upset, they’d be upset if it was any farmer, but how does everyone else think their meat comes to their plate..? Would they prefer if it was all factory farmed with no quality of life? At the end of the day, people are just heated because it’s Jeffree and it’s a hot topic. Had any other person opened a farm because they were interested in the animal, then later researched produce related to that animal and pursued one of these routes then no one would bat an eyelid. But it’s cool to hate for the sake of it.

[@cccc7534]

I used to see his beautiful yaks on his snap story and then once i saw the meat i immediately felt sick to my stomach, how could he kill these beautiful innocent animals for money when he’s already super rich?! it’s just sick people like that will do any and everything for money not realizing money is not the key to happiness.

I've commented this on another video about this, but for some vegans him having a meat company on the side will absolutely be a big deal and rule out his makeup company, even if it is vegan. Personally I don't care, but when I'm looking for vegan specific makeup that kind of this is make or break. Also either he was lying when he got the trademark, because thats when he would need to be getting yaks for pets and yaks for food and seperating them, or hes lying now about the ones that were slaughtered for meat were his pet and he only just realized how healthy it is, because it takes a while for them to be healthy enough to be slaughtered. I think either way isn't good at all.

My grandparents are farmers, so naming your animals, loving on them, and then butchering them is pretty normal.

I grew up in the country growing our own vegetables and we have family that actively grows and sells cows and pigs. Side note on that, they are not named and to me that would be weird to name an animal just to butcher it. We do, however if we can, buy a cow and have it processed at a meat locker or processing facility (usually locally owned and small) so we have one on one conversations about the process and are involved in it. My mom also has chickens that we get eggs from. And the difference between those vegetables, meats, and eggs is night and day from buying it at a store as far as quality and taste. But I do realize that people in cities don't have access to that and i think it should be implemented to be more readily available such as having small farms in cities similar to community gardens where people can actively learn where their food comes from. Now, coming from an agricultural background, I can say a lot of smaller farms that focus primarily on raising animals for butcher or milk treat their animals very well due to the fact that if they aren't treated and raised well, they'd be throwing away a profit because investing in livestock and the equipment is biggggg bucks. And many, if not all of those farmers and livestock producers highly protest and stand against large corporate farms due to the fact that 1. It takes money away from smaller farmers 2. It gives the industry a bad reputation and all farmers and livestock producers get lumped into that and 3. They detest the mistreatment of animals in general.

I posted this in a thread of comments, and I will post it separately here too as it might be a controversial opinion on the topic. I kind of disagree about the vegan & cruelty-free makeup being a contradiction to selling yak meat (or any meat in general) *IF THE MEAT IS ETHICALLY SOURCED*. Ethical sourcing is necessary of course. Let's consider: why is vegan & cruelty-free makeup a necessity for many in the beauty community? It's due to some makeup being tested unethically on animals; the make-up isn't meant to be vegan in the sense that "no animals or animal byproducts are used" usually. I understand that does include it being vegan in general, but the heart of this issue is to protect unjust testing on animals (hence "cruelty-free"). It's literally a marketing point. And again, if the makeup issue was SOLELY about it being vegan in the sense that "no animals or animal byproducts are used," how can you justify ANY make-up influencer, brand person, etc NOT being vegan but selling vegan makeup? Almost everyone in this community be eating non-vegan food and fast food on the regular. And no judgement, I'm not vegan myself. I think eating meat (personally) is okay. But that's my point: most people think so as well; yet we support and call for vegan and cruelty-free makeup to not support brands that test on and otherwise harm animals. So if we're okay to eat animals or animal byproducts, and if we care about that makeup issue to just protect animals, then animals raised well &ethically used for meat should pose no real issue or hypocrisy. Now, if it turns out he's mistreating the animals, or if he turns any of his actual pets into food, that is wrong. It is also wrong that he lied for really no reason other than to seem noble. Like I said, what he is claiming to do now is not really morally wrong necessarily, so why did he lie? Maybe to cover up a darker truth; I wouldn't put it past him with his track record. But as the information we have stands, I don't think anything here but the lying was bad.

i have to comment to expose myself there... i grew up in a farm... and i didn't know (and found out at my middle school cafeteria) that you could buy eggs in supermarket... i just... never thought of people who dont have chicken and just go outside to find an egg TT-TT also i cant describe the absolute joy on my baby niece's face when shes walking around the garden surrounded by cats, dogs, chicken a random pidgeon... its like in snow white ahahah

[@Charmynox]

I was raised on a farm. We had beefalo. I would go out into the pasture, climb into their hay container, and give all the cows (beefalo) kisses and snuggles and stuff when they surrounded their hay container to eat. I once tried the meat that came from them but hated it because at that point, I was so used to the beef from grocery stores that had all that added stuff in it so I never ate the animals we raised. I did name some though. I got to name two calves, Tobi and Arabella. As for my diet... Meat tends to make me feel icky. Especially red meats. Like sometimes I'll eat it and just get sick after. But unfortunately, I am borderline anemic so I was told by a doctor that at least like twice a week I have to have a meal that involves red meat because of the iron in it. But on top of that I do have two conflicting EDs as well as depression so trying to make an actual meal with meat, or just a meal in general, is a struggle for me. Then to add to all that I'm diabetic. So basically, food/meat and I have a horrible relationship, thanks to my adoptive mom putting me on weight watcher's as well as diet pills at 14 years old. :D

[@anikasmucker3208]

As someone who has grown up on a farm I agree that it's cruel to befriend the animals then butcher them. We have beef cows and I know if I ever befriend them I would want to keep the cows so I don't try to tame them. Also yes, living on a farm is amazing. During a meal my mom will often say ”everything on this table is grown from our garden”. Just walking out and picking fresh fruits and veggies for lunch is the best thing ever, and you will never properly understand what carrots, peas, or corn actually taste like unless you try it fresh. It will change your life.

[@ariahanna9775]

My friend sheep farms on a small farm in NI and she names all her lambs ect but she also sells them for meat. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I couldn't do that personally but its very common for farmers to do. I don't know why he lied about it though he should have just been up front about it

[@MikeilaMadden]

I swear every time he gets called out for shady shit he deflects and invalidates people’s opinions by saying “something really big is going on right now how are you focused on me”. Like he doesn’t care about these issues he’s just using them to deflect and guilt trip

[@jinnyweaver]

I was raised on a farm and during the summer we grew every vegetable we could, and traded with other farmers in the area for veggies they grew that we didn't. Now that I live in the city, I still have a small garden but my parents are my main supply for veggies hahah. Of course we still have to buy from stores a lot of the time because we can only freeze so much produce. As for meat, we never owned cattle but would buy chickens from our neighbours who raised and butchered them. Our chickens were only laying hens, we didn't kill them. I don't have it in my heart to butcher animals and my parents were the same way. They both grew up farmers and will die farmers but they HATE killing animals. Its very typical for farmers to hunt for deer and moose but my dad didn't have it in his heart to do so. Still bought meat from the stores but I wouldn't have him any other way!

[@rachellaity4276]

I love your take on meat and veganism/vegetarianism! You're not pushing anything, I totally hear what you're saying!

[@katsumainu]

He could've just sold yarn but ig that's not profitable enough 🙄

[@MadHatta555]

I've heard simplynailogical talk about copyrights and thought it was a bit fishy to get copyrights for an entire catagory. That's a lot of money just to protect a name and honestly Jeffree has enough money behind him to block a copyright that would be in the same catagory.

[@Soozelove]

I was just thinking about this! I knew he was lying when he posted that he was trademarking it to protect his brand....pft

[@nataliepavlova14bg14]

To be honest - I'm not surprised at all. Great video btw 😊 Lots of love from your fans from Bulgaria

[@aliceolivia2419]

I’m vegetarian and tbh this has made me really angry. I rather someone was honest (even if I don’t agree with their believes) rather than pretend to be “all for the animals” then kill them. We need people who are animal activists not trying to support the meat industry. I’ve still been supporting jeffree throughout all of the past things but this has really done it for me. The whole “evolving and changing” is never going to happen if high profile people like him publicly LIE about the way he treats his animals which will only result in people replicating him. I don’t believe he “changed his mind”. If you think of anything you consider your pet then someone comes up to you and tells you why they think you should give them up to die and be turned into food, how would you react? Now, compare your answer to what jeffree said. Welcome to my brain😌

[@jahnig5327]

Star: yaks are friends not food Also stat: jk

[@LifeOfTheAngels]

Also, I’m not vegan, but I’ve made the conscious to not consume as much meat as I used too, it wasn’t doing me any favors, I mostly eat chicken and seafood, there was actually point in time where I didn’t eat meat for a whole month and it was pretty refreshing, I wanna try doing that again

[@CWazBroadwayBandGeek]

First and foremost I DO NOT support Jeffree Star. However…I see no problem with him selling meat. As soon as he bought the ranch. I had a feeling his business was going in that direction. That is the purpose of most live stock farms and people need to stop over reacting about that because that’s what most farms do in the west and Mid-West. And frankly he never claimed to be vegan, so the uproar is unwarned. And to add on, to give benefit of the doubt, I HIGHLY doubt he would ever kill the Yaks he named. He treats them as well as he treats his dogs. He has some Yaks that were specifically for meat, like he said in his story. As long as he’s doing it humanly, I see no qualms. Good for him if he wants to source healthy products and live healthier.

[@b.oconnor3745]

I’ve been a vegetarian for over 12 years and would personally never eat meat, but, if you are going to eat meat i think eating meat from animals that were given a comparably good life if the way to go. But that’s not the issue. The issue isn’t that Jeffree is raising meat. Who cares. It’s just that he lied about it and is trying to cover his ass. That’s what’s gross here. If he, from when the butchering trade mark stuff came out, was like “yeah I’m working on creating a holistic farm that produces meat in an ethical way” it’d been fine w me 🤷‍♀️

[@thalinamarie2377]

He specifically said in a video that he wasn’t butchering any of his animals that have been shown online. He has a place in the very back fields for them, as far as I know they’re cared for but aren’t loved on the same. He said that himself.

[@thalinamarie2377]

This video is wrong. He loves on his yaks that are his animals yes. They get brushed, layed on etc. not the ones he’s selling for meat 🙄

[@bantumangcu6770]

the energy of this video, i LOVE IT 😭❤️

[@mafthew1813]

I don’t think there is anything wrong with the butchering but I only care that he lied because that just doesn’t make him look good

[@Demmyj]

the few times I got shit for being vegetarian my instant reply was "that means more meat for you!" and got some surprised looks but once they realized I wasn't going to try and convert them we just ate our food. I'm the friend that will get a traditional breakfast plate, and give you my bacon peices

[@BowTiesareCool12]

I didn’t grow up on a farm, but my dad did for a while. I know it’s not uncommon to name the animals and then slaughter them when it’s time to. My mom still talks about a time when she and my dad were dating and there was one of their cows named Stanley that she really liked, she was invited over for a cookout and my dad’s family was like “haha these are Stanley burgers”. You just kinda accept that the animals have their purpose to the “ecosystem” of the farm and that they aren’t the same as having pets. They did definitely get attached to certain animals though (my grandma still has Stanley’s hide as a rug lmao). But it’s a lot more ethical to raise animals “farm to table” vs them going to the slaughterhouse. I’m not necessarily a fan of JS, but I do think he’s allowed to change his mind. I don’t see it as lying, so much as he had his opinions changed, doesn’t help him though to have so strongly made a point of saying they were all strictly pets. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@amy_dsc]

But his free to do watever he wants with his things, he can do bussiness with everything as long as its legal.. I get his a complicated person but doesnt mean everything he does is bad..

[@linecrochets]

As someone who eats meat, I think personally it is disgusting that he names his animals and then uses them to sell or eat the meat after... I've always find that weird. And also that he said he wasn't gonna do it and trying to shame people into thinking he was (since he trademarked it) but then 1 year later does it and again shames people for pointing it out.. He definitely can't take any criticism or own up to his mistakes..

[@alexandraburley15]

My grandparents had a hobby farm, where they raised 5-10 cows at a time. All of my cousins got to name one and got to interact with them regularly. My grandparents never told us we were raising beef cattle, but at a certain age we understood that these animals were to become food, and that we were raising them for that purpose. We gave our cows lots of love and affection. Their lives were better because we cared for them, and they provided food for our community. Jeffrey Star sucks, but this is just bougie farming

[@renee5930]

idk it’s kinda weird, like lots of people keep chickens for eggs and love them like pets, but also buy chicken at the grocery store to eat so, yknow

[@lengyelgabriella6125]

I hated the takes: IF you are non-vegan you shouldn't have a problem with this. Like no, ppl can be bothered by lies, and hypocrisy. Tbf it's also crossed my mind that how long can you keep meat in those packages, since his meat line is coming out this month, next month, meat goes bad really fast, if he is adding something to them, than what is the point... I hope it's going to be tested, so noone get's sick and stuff.

[@TheMunchkinita2509]

Meh, as much as I hate the guy, he's said that the ones he's killing aren't the ones he's named. As long as that's true this is really a non issue. It's his shit, he can do whatever he wants to with it. Better he be upfront about changing his mind than to try and hide it.. which is what I feel like he would've done before. For the record, I don't think he's "changed" per se, I just think he's better at playing the game after everything that's happened.

[@ElleEasternSuburbsMum]

I mean it’s not remotely factory farming and I’d rather the yaks live a good life and get loved on and roam around freely before being ☠️

[@ericaca88]

I literally heard him say he was gonna sell meat before this though.... And also with vegan makeup he probably wanted to give everyone the option because that's whats most wanted..idc about him & he does lie, but because people hate him, they make things put out nothing sometimes

[@crescentartdesigns]

I'm vegan too cause eating meat hurts my body so bad I ended up hospitalized and I was revealed to be irritation of leaking.

[@beckylemm3smash44]

I grew up on a farm and you tend not to name the animals however not everyone is the same and also you sometimes have a few seperate eg milk cows etc

[@xfreyawatson]

I’m vegan and tbh I don’t think that there is an ethical way to mass produce meat or even dairy and eggs- even free range can be not much better

[@karlajackson4232]

not me binging the last ten videos cuz i havent had time to sit down and watch these

[@lifewithava9958]

I’m an ag kid who raised pigs that ultimately became meet. We raise those pigs with love and respect but at the end of the day their lives are meant to become food. That being said, lying about it is what’s wrong. We go into showing season knowing that the pigs will ultimately be sold, don’t lie abt it to fans and followers

[@Lando.alyssa]

He literally has a small flock for butchering that are separated but are still kept very well and another much larger flock of yaks that he keeps as pets and will not be butchered I have no idea why people act like meat doesn’t come from animals on farms.

[@absolutely_catastrophic_]

I'm not vegan or vegetarian cause it's just not something my family can afford, but I still think what he did is super weird and messed up- like i have a feeling selling meat was always in his plan and he was just blatantly lying to everyone's faces so there wouldn't be as much drama drummed up before it launched. Grosses me out man. And keeping some as pets but not the others?? Weird. Ik that some farmers do similar, like have a few cow's that they keep as pets and not the others, but at least they don't lie about it😭
