[@akamomto7]

Well, Peter, I'm sure you've heard this many times but since I first discovered your videos, I am driven to watch them all before I die. I am almost 89 and I can't remember being so fascinated with any other videos! The first was Titus. I just fell in love with the way you relate to folks everywhere.....drawing them out. The Ukranian series is the last few that have kept my attention! You have a gift and thank you for sharing the world with us.

[@dennisp3314]

I must absolutely agree ! Peter has a REAL talent

[@sanja1015]

Just found your channel and I’m binge watching .. very sad to think these poor people probably had to leave their home again. Heartbreaking 😭

[@campbub]

They did From what i know they left to avoid the war, and are safe..

[@GospodinJean]

God bless this family man!. this series really touched me!

[@mgysgtk8835]

Your Ukraine videos show such a human side of Ukraine. Perhaps you can get them back up to the top of your playlist, for the Americans to see.

[@jaroslavstratiychuk4425]

На щастя, Пітер набагато розумніший більшості коментаторів тут. Він розуміє, що те наприклад, що вони самі вбивають тварин, яких їдять, ніяк не пов'язано з жорстокістю. Валерій мабуть із задоволенням купував би все в крамниці, якби мав для цього досить коштів. Дуже благословення сім'я!

[@iua3374]

Да нет у них потребности в магазине покупать. В Авдеевской многоэтажке они гусей не держали. Так что знают магазинный ассортимент. Мне кажется, они кайфуют от своей органичности, близости к природе. И Питер сам об этом говорит: "Они очень близки к своей еде". И ему, непосредственному наблюдателю, это нравится. Хоть сам он так и не смог бы. И дети их уже, видимо, не смогут. Глава семьи прошёл трудный путь, заслуживает уважения. Жена - молодчина. Дети славные. Присоединяюсь к пожеланиям добра этой семье.

[@tanyatanu1]

Jaroslav Stratiychuk 👍🏻❤️❤️

[@PeterSantenello]

Yes, an amazing family. Many people (including myself) can learn from them )

[@Julyachop]

Может и не купил бы. Может, у него такой стиль жизни. В Авдеевке он как жил? Явно не шиковал и ходил по ресторанам.

[@vadymvv]

Не думаю. Валерій теж має кудись застосовувати свою природню жорстокість і це найкращий спосіб для цього. У 1000 разів краще ніж бити дружину, займатись розбоєм на вулицях, задовільняючи цю потребу.

[@EricYodis]

I love how this family has so little, displaced by the war and yet they still give to their neighbors! They are the standard we should all live up to! The father's laugh after slaughtering the animals reminds me of what my language teachers would tell us when we first moved to Ukraine, they said, "We laugh so we don't cry." I think he jokes to cover up how it must feel to kill a living thing. It must be hard, but it is reality and life for his family. Thanks for another great episode.

[@PeterSantenello]

Yeah, truly amazing! Yes, beautiful role models in many ways. I'm glad you're liking the show. Thanks for watching :)

[@starsoldier3643]

Killing to eat is ok kill to kill is not ok. It's that simple.

[@Samoanhulk24]

Hi Peter. Do you know how this family is doing these days. Got hooked on your alpachae series, now watching from the start. Blessings to you man

[@bittersweetua]

You go, Peter! Love watching your experiences. Can't wait to watch another episode!

[@PeterSantenello]

Thanks for the support )))

[@tanyatanu1]

Unbelievable family and story! I am proud of this family and the guy that he found the strength. I also know how hard it is for people like them to survive in ignorant and traditional environment where people aren't used to think outside of the box. Please give them my regards and let them know they have support too ❤️❤️👍🏻. Peter, as always, great video, you are an awesome storyteller.

[@PeterSantenello]

Yes, they are absolutely amazing! Thanks for your support with the show )))

[@alijasim3332]

Much love and respect from Bahrain to Ukraine

[@sandrahoffmann6711]

This family is amazing! Wonderful people! Wish them all the best!

[@alijasim3332]

Very beautiful, i love how you’re sharing your experience in that original and authentic way.

[@TheSwordOfDarkness]

I don't think that this is typical Ukrainian country family.

[@NazarAdamchuk]

I would say there is no ''typical Ukrainian country family". Every family is different as well as every each human. Maybe I'm wrong. I would here your opinion of definition of ''typical .... family". Thanks! Regards, Nazar

[@daviks.267]

Why slaughtering domestic animals and eating all parts of them is normal Ukrainian family's lifestyle in the countryside. We eat meat, and intestines and eyes and brains of the animals. We use even bones to make jellied soup. And we make sausage with the meat, fat, lard, the insides, and intestines, too. It is normal for a peasant to cut the throat of the animal or bird. Though nowadays, many of peasants would prefer paying somebody else to do this job, that's true... But as for Valery's life history, yes, that very unusual. Normally such kind of people doesn't live up to 30 years here. Valery is a special guy. I pray God would give them all the best and protect them from the bad things. They deserve it.

[@SilverBlade001]

I think they look like some kind of unorthodox religious sectants. Quite harmless however.

[@tanyatanu1]

TheSwordOfDarkness I can speak to that as I grew up in the village and know the drill. In fact, I can relate to this family in many ways. The eating habits are interesting indeed, but that varies by the family and the region, the traditions they had. But it doesn't surprise me. Slaughtering is normal for the village. Being a Protestant Christian is still met with hysteria from some traditional ignorant people. But otherwise, this family is like any other - live off what they grow, sell it, share with neighbors. Kind, simple and none-greedy people. They are much better than 'typical' family, as you say. Because typical will judge you for everything, disgusting habit that I absolutely despise. Typical people are stuck in their traditions and don't respect personality or anything that is outside of the small box they live in. That is sloooowly changing in Ukraine. But meanwhile, this family will have to face judgement every day, whether it's in the village, or here in the comments. Life is one, and every person can live it how they want ✌🏻

[@TheSwordOfDarkness]

Tetyana H exactly. Nobodu judge them or tell that they are worse then someone else. Maybe they are even better in some things. But they are not typical and hardly can represent regular ukrainian country family.

[@dannytoledo9723]

You are the man Peter, keep up yourawesome experiences and thanksfor sharing them

[@ambermcclamrock6056]

Binge watching your shows in between my online studies to be a teacher! I came from nothing… these videos bring me back to my darkest moments as a child and reminds me how far I’ve come, yet no where near was I ever in this lowest place as these beautiful people 🥰

[@andriyfedorets2408]

I am from Ukraine and it seems you enjoy this 'vacation' 😁 nice videos, really nice to see it all over from side that you are shoving to us. Молодец😊

[@PeterSantenello]

Thanks Andrey, I'm giving it my best. I'm glad you enjoy :).

[@starsoldier3643]

God bless Ukraine. Russia knocking at your door. Get your woman and children to safety. Fight those bastards.

[@choppdahumies]

this family never ceases to amaze me

[@sharonpiper2253]

All these have been so interesting. Thanks again for sharing. We, here in America, need to realize how blessed we are.

[@dennisp3314]

So this video says 6 years ago. I sit here (safe in America - for now) & wonder what has happened to this most wonderful family I have been watching. This terrible terrible war that seems never ending. I hope they have found, or are still in a safe place. Are you still in touch with them Peter, in the Fall of 2023 ?

[@tetianakolodchenko]

У будинку спекотно, тому що порушена технологія будівництва, або дім вже якось перебудовувася. У моєї бабусі з дідусем у хаті ніколи не було спекотно влітку, навпаки. завжди прохолодно. При тому що вікна не відчинялися. І в принципі раніше вміли будувати так, що тепература була завжди комфортна. Адже кондиціонерів не було. спеціально для цього коло будинку саджали дерева, щоб був затишок. Козячі та курячі очі ніколи не їли, їх викидали. Так само як і гівно, кишки та інший непотріб ( але кишки свинячі іноді використовували для кров,янки) У їжу йшло сало, деякі субпродукти та кров - але лише свіжа, і у невеликій кількості. І звісно, ніхто з забою тварини не робив розваги. Робили це швидко, та професійно. Забій корови чи свині - то взагалі ціла історія. Не кожен господар витримує таке видовище. Моя бабуся, наприклад, під час забою свині ніколи не була присутня бо їй було важко на не дивитися. Коротше, дуже дивна сімейка. Я думаю, що у Пітера великий стресс) The house is hot, because the technology of construction is broken, or the house has somehow been rebuilt. My grandmother with my grandfather in the hut has never been hot in the summer, on the contrary, always cool. Even though the windows did not open. And in principle, before they were able to build so that the temperature was always comfortable. There were no air conditioners. specially for this circle of a house planted trees, that was a cosiness. Goats and chicken eyes never ate, thrown them away. Like gland, gut and other unprotected (but the guts were sometimes used by the pork for blood, the Yankees). The food was salty, some by-products and blood - but only fresh and in small quantities. And, of course, no animal was slaughtered. They did it quickly, but professionally. Slaughter of a cow or a pig is a whole story in general. Not every owner can withstand such a spectacle. My grandmother, for example, had never been present during the slaughter of a pig because she was having difficulty not watching. In short, a very funny family. I think that Peter has a lot of stress)

[@Зубо-ЗубоЗубоґайль]

Погоджуюсь з кожним словом. І щодо забою: у мене дідусь з бабусею теж не могли скот від кози і більший сами вбивати. У них в селі було заведено просити когось із сусідів те робити. Бо воно ж тебе знає, довіряє! А кози - вони ж розумні як собаки і хозяїв люблять зазвичай - їх взагалі дуже рідко хто забивав, навіть коли старі ставали. Шкода, що Пітер здобув саме такий досвід. В українських селах досі дуже багато сімей, що живуть "від землі" і годують себе тим, що сами вирощують. Але таких як ця серед них ще пошукати треба. Щоб місце для криниці шукали маятником (Пітере, так не роблять нормальні люди! У нас є геологи, агрономи, апаратура і таке інше! І в наших селах не шукають воду за допомогою магії! Ну принаймні більшість - розумніші!) Щоб брали у своїх дітей їжу, що їм держава (з наших грошей) дала щоб діти може менше проблем з розвитком мали, і віддавали ту їжу іншим людям, а своїх дітей натомість годували тим що впіймають (я розумію - доброта, альтруізм - але на самій картоплі і равликах діти здорові не виростуть, їм потрібні і різні крупи теж, регулярно!) Щоб розважались очами забитої кози... Мені шкода, Пітере. Це не те, що було тобі потрібно. Це не те що взагалі комусь потрібно.

[@rezalshik]

За те ті вікна стають у пригоді взимку, а на рахунок кози, то декотрих областях України саме так і їдять

[@Валентина-я7й3й]

@@Зубо-ЗубоЗубоґайль я з вами взагалі не погоджуюся. А ви не бачили що той рис варений стоїть на плиті і їсти самий рис теж не дуже. Я знаю що кажу. Валерій така людина з якої можна брати приклад. Хай їм Бог допомогає, вони класні.

[@yuriimarko7317]

I'm Ukrainian, but I never saw in my entire life that someone eating goat eyes, that's disgusting. 🤔

[@ДенисКораблев-н6д]

Well, slaughter seems quite shocking for the first time. The next time it would be a routine )) This is the real life in a village. Simple life, simple rules. You eat what you grow.

[@AdstarAPAD]

When i was digging my well we put a vacuum cleaner down the hole and had a hose connected to it running up to the surface.. This was to suck in fresh air.. Because there is a danger of oxygen depletion when you are down in a hole like that..

[@Vloggerino]

Hi Peter! Thanks for these videos, what a unique side of Ukraine they show! Are you still in touch with the family?

[@dimalirick9894]

really sweet video. =)

[@mpoltav2]

Очень интересные серии. Смотрю с удовольствием.

[@PeterSantenello]

Спасибо!!!

[@West-rn-showvn-ist-chick]

Ukrainian women are the best.. I know I’m one of them, and I was raised by a strong amazing Supermom!

[@smengine]

It's not enjoyable but it does make you respect where your food comes from and not take for granted and you don't have to do it just respect the one that does

[@dvar1370]

The mystery with the ventilation of the house is strange for me, who is also Ukrainian but lives in the city.

[@Kent7775555]

Эти старые дома имеют очень толстые стены, до 1 метра в толщину, которые построены из материала - саман. Это глина с камнем, деревом и соломой. Стены как термос очень хорошо удерживают температуру дома. Летом а них не жарко, а зимой не холодно. Но небольшая проточная вентиляция все же нужна. Хотя бы одна-две небольшие форточки должны быть открыты летом. У меня есть такой старый дом в селе.

[@GiGi34347]

Is this family ok? Can you provide updates, are they all ok?

[@H3ARTSTARS101]

it's even sadder now..

[@bryanfox2735]

That’s just life on the farm. Natural life bro. 🇺🇸💪

[@zzargenrumzzzzargentumzz9769]

Судя повсему сменили окна в доме на пластиковые, наглухо запертые, от того и мучаются теперь, тот случай когда новшество повредило. Не разу не мучался в таком доме от жары или холода. Каждая новая серия вызывает удивление. Гастрономия конечно шикарная, но брутально как то с подачей. И можете долго меня бить -но не украинская это семья... А так, лайк за видео :)

[@daviks.267]

Да как не украинская-то? Я думаю, окна они просто купили самые дешевые, поэтому они не открываются. Окна с форточками дороже стоят. Кроме того, уголь и дрова тоже не копеечки сегодня с подачи наших "олигаршат" стоят. Поэтому они и утеплили дом сразу, к зиме - чтобы как можно меньше отверстий в доме было. Правда, у нас вентиляция обычно решается за счет москитной сетки или специальной решеточной дверки на входе. Но, может, у них нет денег или они к такому не привыкли... Интересно, а крышу они утепляли? Если нет, хорошо было бы, чтобы Питер им посоветовал. Надо чердак накрыть фанерой, а под ней стекловату или еще что-то. Очень сильно утепляет дом! И да... Кажется, в Сан-Франциско немного прохладнее, чем в среднем по Калифорнии. Плюс, они привыкли к кондиционеру. Поэтому Питеру и сложно выжить. У нас многие селяне спокойно такие температуры переносят. А если Вас их частые молитвы удивляют - так они ПРОТЕСТАНТЫ. Вы, наверное, просто с такими религиозными людьми не знакомы. У протестантов такие молитвы и песнопения и даже танцы под пение псалмов - ЭТО ОБЫЧНОЕ явление. Можете даже не сомневаться, что эти люди 100% украинцы. Я очень рада, что у нас есть такие протестантские церкви, которые помогают людям, оказавшимся на САМОМ ДНЕ жизни, выкарабкаться наверх. Странно, что Питеру такие люди не встречались. У них, вроде, протестантизм очень распространен. По крайней мере, среди афроамериканцев Южных штатов - так 100%.

[@zzargenrumzzzzargentumzz9769]

Davik S. Дело не в деньгах,а в том что такие дома не продаются без окон, пошкуренные старые и покрашенные были бы в разы лучше нежели дешевые пластиковые! И на счет утепления, очень часто в таком доме как минимум стоит "груба ",або піч..далее на волю фантазии и судьбы...Твердотоплевний котел =уголь тонна угля купить при таком хозяйстве, возможно, а ее хватит на весь сезон. Не знаю как у Вас, но у нас в селах називают таких людей сектантами и не общепринятое явление, я бы сказал редкое. И не церковь востанавливает людей а их вера, тобишь люди исцеляют сами себя! А что касаемо протестантов как вы говорите, то чаще всего что я видел это тупое облапошивание людей в той или иной форме. Как то так. Без обид ,если что :)Але, напишу що думаю і що бачу, нехай на мій чуб чортів нашлють. Так от, батько мій і дружина його, дід мій та дружина його, прадід мій Петро та дружина його, жили в схожому будинку та не мали клопоту, не було колись підлоги деревяної, клали трави щоб блохи не їли і піч була і груба і чан для води грівся. І важко працювали всі і старі і малі і корова була і кролі і птиця різна, та мали повагу до себе та сусідів, як старий хто і не міг землі вскопати то всі ішли і не стояла земля в бурьяні. А як важко було то старих людей на зиму до себе брали і годували, а в літку несли все що земля давала та руки. Ніколи не їли не равликів не жаб тих клятих, бо не мали не звички не потреби,бо повага і праця до землі годують краще ніж баптисти. І Бога нашого єдиного славили тихо бо ікона в хаті завжди була, а як совєти приходили то і в стіни замуровували ті ікони і молилися до них і в церквах гвалту не здіймали. І багато що можу сказати, але нема в тому істини, бо не бачу я предків їхніх не бачу любові, та коріння не до землі не до людей, для мене то Турецький беріг, але не звинувачуючи їх але і погляд не затримую.Вибачте якщо образив та дякую за розуміння.

[@daviks.267]

Откуда Вы знаете? может, именно с такими окнами им дом и продали.:) Мы в карман не заглядывали, может, им есть кого кормить..)) Насчет протестантов - Вы правы. В селах их редко можно увидеть. Они в основном в райцентрах или в областных центрах проживают. Именно из-за того, что селяне их "сектантами" прозывают. Увы, невежество, нетерпимость и ксенофобия по-прежнему наше ФФСЬО.((( Протестантские церкви разные бывают. Не всегда это кидалово. Хотя конечно все помнят казус Аделаджи. Но я лично знаю и ДРУГИХ протестантов. И мне приятно, что Валерию встретились именно они. Человек увидел смысл в жизни. Очень многие даже истово верующие православные всю жизнь проживают - и его не находят, застревая в болоте рутины как бы "пасочки и бутылку вина не забыть посвятить на Пасху; новый офис святой водой обрызгать "для успешного бизнесу"; хорошо бабла на крестины отвалить куму "шоб люди видели, шо я подходящий крестный"; да и самому на причастие прийти к "самому главному ихнему попу, шобы точно было все харашо и все-все грехи отпустились" и т.п.".. У многих протестантов такого нет. Это реально меняет людей

[@PeterSantenello]

I'm glad you like the videos )))

[@tri-el521]

Zzargenrumzz Zzargentumzz, та ви всі вже задовбали (вибачте за емоційність)! Ці люди аж ніяк не баптисти, тож якщо не відрізняєте деномінацій, то не показуйте свою безграмотність. Соромно що українці досі не відійшли від совкової безграмотності і для них кожен віруючий - сектант. (((

[@rustemlevchuk7761]

Hi Piter, i watched all your series of "Fish out of water" and i can say, that this family isnt simple. In our country not even every 10 pray every morning. Life in the most of villages arent so hard - most of them have water as ib town, and dont grow much animals at home. Usualy its a few pig, a dozen of chikens, and sometimes 1 goat or cow. In bigger villages, they have a new houses with good condition and big windows. I live in small town, and most things that you shows, i do offen(exept diging a well of course))) But i realy liked your show, and go on!

We have it so easy here in the U.S. Even the poorest here has so much. I would be starving, because I don't know if I could eat that. Having said that, I've never went hungry, so I would probably change my mind. This family has taught me so much about survival, they are happy just to be living life. Appreciate your work and love for strangers.

[@nancycharest1700]

So I stared watching you about a year ago I moved from Connecticut born and raised my husband and I and we moved to Pennsylvania I started watching because I saw your series on the Amish I am in the middle of Amish land and I wanted to learn more about them now the other day I saw your stay in the Ukraine and it's amazing I was just curious if you have kept in touch with the family you stayed with are they ok I pray because of the war and all

[@walkingaround360]

My grandma used to have chicken in the back of the house and they kill the them to eat them too, and I'm Argentinean (Spanish family). In Morroco they sell the heads of the goat in the markets.

Если бы смотрел без звука - не поверил бы что это Украина. Да, дичи у нас конечно хватает, но в моем пгт, куда я езжу летом отдыхать, такого треша нет. Есть магазины с довольно широким ассортиментном и терминалом, есть профессионалы, пускай и самоучки, которые могут забить скотину, вырыть колодец и т.д. Как конкретно мои родственники забивали скотину - не знаю, потому что пока я был маленький от меня это скрывали, а когда стал старше - ничего кроме курей, пасеки и рыбалки у нас небыло. Проще же у других купить)

[@alwayspete]

It's food. You have to kill it and cook it to eat it. Not as glamorous as sitting in a star hotel and being served a dish with a fancy name! But this is the real deal.

So I've trained 14-year-old Max who has an interest in journalism how to operate the camera. So when I'm in the shot he's shooting. Most of the other shots are my work.

[@tanyatanu1]

That's great! I bet he will appreciate the practice.

[@PeterSantenello]

Yeah, He has a natural talent. And 1+1 is taking him to Kyiv to show him the studios. Also he'll have his name on this series. I feel like if Max wants it enough he'll achieve great things. Thanks for caring )

[@PeterSantenello]

I'd like to cover more stories on Ukraine (and the rest of the world). Perhaps something in Western Ukraine. I like to tell my stories through human connectivity. So I need to find something very interesting there. If you have any suggestions, let me know.

[@denysorlyk]

Peter Santenello , I live in central Ukraine, but I have some friends from west side, I'll ask them about some interesting places over there and I'll let you know then.

[@AlexanderPongo]

Peter Santenello you should do same episodes in Western Ukraine - Zakarpattya (Transcarpathia) - trust me, you will be surprised in a good way of true village life in here. Zakarpattya is a mix of people of different nationalities (Ukrainians, Hungarians, Romanians, Slovakians) that living together in peace and working hard every day to make the next day better. I'm not saying this isn't Ukrainian family but it's not real Ukrainian village reality. I feel your stress but anyway you did a great job 👍🏻 Good luck to you and to this family.

Hello, That would be very cool. Actually after the last episode I'm going to work on getting them running water in the house, a bathroom and a kitchen. So would you like to send some things? If so let me know and I can ask the family and get an address.

[@jeffreyd508]

Great job on this mini series! You still learning Russian? Its a soul crusher. Not to scare you, but it becomes more complicated the more you learn lol! Theres 292 possesive pronouns and 57 ways to say 'this'. Knowing them is half the battle. Now know WHEN to use each one....

[@PeterSantenello]

Thanks Jeffery! Yes, but it's a slow go. Yeah, Russian grammar tables scare me more than a hooligan with a knife in the back alleyways of Mexico City.

Max, the 14-year-old son of Valerei and Anna does the camera work when you see me in the shots. The other shots are mine. In the first two episodes Vova Demchenko did the camerawork.

Im a bit confused why Peter was so shocked about seeing the animals get slaughtered? I mean really, how is it any different in America? Okay maybe here they would have stunned the goat, but the only major difference is that you don't see it happen. And also to add, the convulsions are a normal thing in decapitated animals. It's just involuntary muscle spasms.

[@tanyatanu1]

May A the difference is that in America you won't see it anywhere, unless you go to a farm, and even then I'm not sure they do it in front of you. I think Peter had never experienced it, hence the reaction.

[@PeterSantenello]

So we didn't show much of the slaughtering of the goat. It was a very long and slow death. Perhaps you're immune to it, but it was pretty gruesome.

[@SilverBlade001]

First time it's always hard to see. Children often so shocked by death of their pet animal, that they can't eat meat of it. But usually people growing and become stronger. )

[@EricYodis]

I lived in America till I was 30 and had never seen an animal slaughtered, not even a chicken. On my Grandfather's farm he took his cows to a meat processing plant and came home with packaged meat. Until moving to Ukraine, I had no idea a chicken could fly away (very far!) after it's head was chopped off! It's very upsetting! lol

[@amay304]

That's just the point I'm trying to make. Just because you don't see it happen, doesn't mean it does not happen. It is sort of sad to think how disconnected some Americans are from their food, especially when the demand for meet is so high.

What does the Bible say about generosity to the poor? She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy. Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.

[@nr1785]

Can you put a warning on this video that it involves the killing of an animal. It was horrendous. The poor goat.

[@2B34ever]

They are really close to their food. This is the way it should be for everyone world wide. Sterile supermarkets disgust me as there is no respect for what it takes to put food on the table. Also others would not be abele to stave us if we all grew our own foods.

[@bencze465]

I can see why killing animals is unusual to some but can't really understand it. I mean just decades ago that was the norm everywhere. It's still probably a lot more natural than industrially processed food. When I was a kid we still slaughtered pig for a couple times, sure you felt a bit sorry when it was screaming but after all it was fed, by not rich people, so it can be killed and become food. It's normal and very natural to slaughter animals for relatively easy easy protein and fat source, people did it for like a million years. Someone already being shocked over it only because last less than 100 years it is not common to do it at home in some countries? That is a bit weird.

[@dennisp3314]

I don't think he was Shocked or surprised that it was done - he seemed shocked to SEE it done (probably for his 1st time ?). I can well understand his reaction, it is a part of this world we live in. These people are just very close to it & seem to be doing what they need to survive. A very honest account ,it seems of this families daily life.

[@7duke77]

I can certainly appreciate them being so close to their food and using/eating nearly every bit...but the goat's eye!?!?!? Really?! That just seems nasty and is there really much nutrients in an eye? I imagine it'd be like eating a tough mushroom...blech! lol

[@williammcmanaman4762]

When you give something to the poor weather money or food one is not supposed to make a big deal out of it Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing? Mt 6:3-4 But when you do charitable deeds to men, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your giving may be in secret. And Your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you Giving - Do Not Let Your Left Hand Know What The Right Hand is Doing Our God is in Secret (Mt 6:4, 6)

Это странно, потому как это тоже еда, не выбрасывать же?

[@Mimi-qh2ng]

в смысле не выбрасывать? в смысле еда? глаза это не еда

[@flchk]

Отнюдь, это еда. Если честно, я удивился когда они выбросили желудок и кишки. Бабушка их чистила и делала из них зельц и колбасу, выбрасывали только кости.

[@myedoxx]

Для некоторых народностей и пауки с жуками и червями еда.. Например, в Бразилии не едят икру, фукая в её сторону, называя её рыбиными яйцами.

[@daviks.267]

Ну не знаю... У нас нормально суп с куриной или гусиной или утиной головой и глаза едят в селе. И это реально вкусно. Помню, я в детстве себе всегда голову с глазами выбирал из тарелки с мясом. Думаю, что и козьи глаза вкусные. Хотя, т.к. мы не растили коз, то козью голову я бы не ел точно. Но, с другой стороны, и кроликов я ем с осторожностью - мне он ободранный все-таки кошку напоминает.:) Так что это дело привычки, скорее всего. Особенно, если Вы сами не забиваете ваш домашний скот - тогда Вам трудно его есть. А если вы его едите, то Вы ничего такого в этом не видите.:) Вон, в Техасе они и черепах едят, фермеры эти. И никто не теряет сознания от этого. Питер просто городской парень.:)

[@nr1785]

The sound of the animal being killed was horrendous. Very distressing. Imagine they were just innocently enjoying their lives and next thing they know they are being murdered in a brutal attack. It’s feral and awful. God does not like animals suffering. If they are killed for food it is meant to be quick and over and done with so there is minimal suffering.

[@plantpowered269]

there is absolutely no need to murder innocent animals. There are 100% vegan eco- villages in Ukraine.

[@dhananjaysshukla4741]

I have watched many of videos I developed high respect for you but when I watched this video , I lost all respect for you and also for this family , in that respect all the people who eats meat . It is nothing but pure violence for no reason . I don’t know when humans will be civilized completely ? I am pure Vegan , not by religious but by choice . And I am totally healthy . Being vegans is cheap and scientific also .

[@rpmfreak9150]

I can guarantee you that Peter nor anyone else in the video would judge you for not eating meat, so why judge them for doing it?

[@dennisp3314]

"I don’t know when humans will be civilized completely ?" - it seems to me we are not so very far along in our evolutionary journey. I believe (If Humankind survives) they will someday leave all the hate, brutality & violence behind. It's just gonna tale a Helluva lot of time, even though in our very short short lives it seems forever - it's not.

@@GospodinJean Yea, but you would have to enslave birds and take the eggs, they produce 10-11 eggs a year, so i guess you would get genetically modified ones, that produce like 250 a year. And if you had a cow to give you milk, you would have to seperate a baby from a mother if you want to steal that milk from the baby. So are you a vegan?
