Really great area to discuss! Life is not without suffering, I think we should reduce suffering where possible. We are in a position to help others and we should do so. It is a moral obligation of those with the capacity to help, to help. Integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is watching.

in principle, I agree with you, except for the part where you state that it is a matter of moral obligation. what's your claim based on? how did you move from 'we should' to 'we must'? moreover, the context in which you placed the moral obligation is unclear. would you mind clarifying?

@ As thinking, sentient beings, humans possess the unique ability to reflect, empathise, and make conscious decisions that transcend mere survival instincts. This capacity not only defines our humanity but also places upon us a moral obligation to help others in need. The foundation of this obligation rests on three interrelated principles: the inherent interconnectedness of human existence, the ethical responsibility derived from our shared humanity, and the transformative potential of compassion in shaping a better world. Moreover the moral obligation to help others should not be limited to humans but extended to non-human animals, as they too are sentient beings capable of experiencing pain, suffering, joy, and contentment. Our capacity for rational thought and moral reasoning demands that we include animals within the sphere of ethical consideration. This extension of moral responsibility is justified through a further three extended principles: the recognition of animal sentience, the interconnectedness of all life, and the transformative potential of compassionate stewardship toward non-human creatures. All humans have a choice and every choice has a consequence, to not choose is to chose the side of inaction and therefore perpetuate the suffering that could be avoided if we choose to intervene.

God created the earth as Eden the paradise and utopia. The bible said they were vegan. The end of the bible said that the lion shall lay down with the lamb. The bible said Jesus would return and end the suffering and evil on earth. It's was sin that brought corruption into the world. God gave people free will. There is a fine line between interfering and respecting people's free will even if it's for their own good. But people can pray to God for help. And of course if people wanted to sin then they would abuse the animals too. Making animals and other people have to defend themselves, be in fear and paranoia, be taught the same selfish corruption, and create a false scarcity that caused people and animals to fight over resources or eat each other. Some ways false scarcity was created was a few people hoarding so much and destroying and causing desertification to a massive amount of land. Which causes famine. Even if people don't believe the bible, I was just telling the story of what the bible said and answering the OP. Check out Christspiracy. Watch videos of Kameron Waters and Kip Andersen. Such as on David Ramms. Kameron spoke with Lifting Vegan Logic.

The billionaires are billionaires in the first place because they don't care about humans, let alone non-human animals. You have to think further though, no individual life can be "saved", only prolonged. If animals are "saved" from one method of horrible suffering and death but left in the wild, it will just be postponed and replaced with another method of horrible suffering and death. If not sterilized, exponentially more suffering and death would have been created, most dying as infants.

Part of the blind spot is rights-based ethics, the idea that all this suffering in nature doesn't involve rights violations, so it's not a problem. Animals dying of disease or predation in the wild don't care whether a moral agent 'violated their rights' or not, they just want their suffering to stop

Great talk Jack! Both in regards to content and execution. I don't dispute at all the empirical data you present, or the fact that wild animals are suffering unimaginably. It is a really important topic and we need to discuss it more within the vegan movement. However, I don't think that I agree with your crucial point half way thorugh, that we have an obligation to help wild animals. Your argument could be presented in the following way: Premise 1: I have a moral obligation to help people in need, whose suffering I did not cause. Premise 2: It is speciesist to not not help wild animals in need, whose suffering I did not cause. Premise 3: Speciesism is wrong; I have a moral obligation to not be speciesist. Conclusion: I have a moral obligation to help wild animals in need, whose suffering I did not cause. I agree with premise 3, but I think that I reject premise 1 (and therefore also 2 and the conclusion). Tentatively, I just think that premise 1 leads to practical absurdities. How would I even function in life? I am aware however that my reasoning here needs more thinking and elaboration. But even if premise 1 is false - this doesn't mean that it's not a virtue to help others who are suffering, it most certainly is! And even though taking care of wild animal suffering is no obligation, perhaps this virtue should guide our decision making in some way?

@ LOL, my wife is not “plant-based”. I wouldn’t be married to her if she were! It is animal suffering that motivates her not to eat animals (she doesn’t wear them either, the way plant-based people do). She argues that because nature is such a “fine balance” (or whatever), it would be madness for humans to intervene in it. For the reasons Jack has outlined before, though, this seems like an unwarranted assumption, and a poor justification for inaction, especially given how much suffering is currently happening in the wild.

People think of nature as something spiritual, romantic, peaceful, wise and idealistic, and it quite simply isn't. It also isn't conscious, it doesn't have a mind, it doesn't have ideas, and it certainly isn't a mother. This is just anthropomorphism, again, its thinking of it as a spiritual entity when it isn't. It isn't nurturing us like some sort of benevolent parent or spiritual guide, in reality it is hostile to life, and the only reason most people are ignorant to all of this is because we are the apex predator and don't even spend any time in nature these days but live in a societal bubble.

This was so great. Amazing! Thank your for the speech! I highly appreciate it, this topic is so close to me :). When I was in high school, I talked about it a lot with science teachers and religious or atheistic teachers as well😅…. Interesting results came up with this topic 😬. Sometimes nice thoughts, sometimes ignorant cold reactions. The main problem is we can’t screw up food chain, bc it messes up the ratio a lot. But it doesn’t mean, we won’t ever have any option to reduce suffering in the wild or that we should leave a suffering animal in a fire(for example). Or it doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t help a baby animal that’s stuck, nor to not feel compassion for them and talk about it like a natural nice thing….(this one is the hottest shit) The number 1 thing we can do is support climate justice and animal rigths ( go V :) ). To reduce our bad from it as fast as possible. And help where its possible with the least negative impact

We separated ourselves by evolving opposable thumbs.. i suggest the other species do the same. Like the universe nature cares not if you live, die, hurt or suffer. The most natural thing on this planet is suffering. Once you understand that youll stop having an emotional response to animal suffering. Had we not removed ourselves it would be us, but we are not responsible for animals like we think. We are an animal. A sibling. You wouldn't ask a baby to raise another. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't care. Mindfulness of our impact on an environment is probably the best way to care for our fellow family. We are all of earth. And although it may not be nice to eat animals, It just so happens to be the way nature set things. If you do feel some way just be thankful as a human you can choose what to eat. As many animals have no choice. One disingenuous part of this talk is the farm side.. in the wild alot of these animals would suffer alot more. Farmed animals even the chickens wouldnt have the luxury of falling over and dying like that. When they would most definitely die in a much worse maybe wuicker way. But for some time they were safe compared to being wild. The nuances in this is much more extreme than he makes out. You cant look at nature through the moral lense of humanity as it built us. Think of the hubris it takes to state if an animal is happy or sad. Nothing is constant especially feeling moments like happiness. Happiness has nothing to do with survival.

Ever since childhood I’ve had an issue with the scientific orthodoxy of non-interventionism. This value is neatly nested within an ethos which generally devalues interpretations and actions which could be categorized as anthropocentric. I find the concept utterly contradictory and itself representative of a form of anthro-exceptionalism which places the value (and values) of one biotic organism (Homo sapiens) over all our sentient and non-sentient planetary cousins. A hierarchical construct which so elevates the worth, sovereignty, and ethical supremacy of humans is reminiscent of certain religious impulses. I don’t say this to condemn religious people or scientists, but merely to demonstrate what I perceive as similarities. And if you think I’m wrong and are so inclined, please don’t hesitate to disabuse me of my interpretations. Given the rather bleak quality of my assessment, I would love to be wrong.

Thats quite a logical fallacy. Animals in small numbers in nature, pitted against factory farmed animals. Thats like judging a fish for its ability to walk upright. Come on, if you want to talk about suffering animals, lets talk about all the millions of insecr that has tondie so vegans can get more food. Or the damage to the environment caused by the oil i suck out of the ground to fuel planes and boats to transport veggies not native to differing nations, to said nations

Emmm, i dont think the example of the child starving is, fair, to say the least. The conditions that cause things like that to happen are not natural, they are the result of systemic oppression and abuse. Also, i dont think that have, more empathy? with our own species is speciesism, is just another way we can survive as, well, as a species. Also i dont get the point of the comparison between humans making themselfs damage with their recreational activities and the suffer that wild animals cant control or make anything about it. There are a lot of docummentated cases of animals getting high (elephants between them) and making a lot of things that are cruel and damage themselfs and other animals without any other purpose that, recreation, to say Emmmm Idon't think the example of the child starving is, fair, to say the least.

There are many documented cases of animals like, getting high (including elephants), and doing many things that are cruel and additionally harm themselves and other animals for no other purpose than, recreation (I'm not trying to be mean, these are points that I genuinely think are somewhat biased or out of proper context and that i think it would be good to address further)

Wild animals and the starving child is comparable because both are just suffering and it's just helping about the suffering. It doesn't matter how the suffering came to be, man-made or not. And there is so much man-made suffering to animals too, like pollution. And what if the starving child was just a result of nature and lived in nature? So you think people are less able to help that child? No. Then what's the difference with wild animals? Cause humans are a part of nature too. And people can say that's "it's natural for humans to be treated like wild animals by wild animals too". Even if poverty was from systemic issues it's still feels beyond the reach of people to solve it just like how helping wild animals feels out of reach. Some people even have given up solving poverty because of that too. And the point is that if we can help we should. Which we can. The point was that specicisim is just having double standards and being prejudice to animals. Why do we have to be specicist? Just because you or others said so? Did you not hear Hancock talk about how it's terrible to just talk in terms of people or anumias just a species too much? Because you're then reducing people or animals to just a number quota to attain and causing people to not care about individual suffering and helping about that. Elephants would not make alcohol on purpose or know what that is. If they drink it it would be a accident. So idk why you mentioned it. Elephants would usually not drink alcohol and get high. The point of the recreation comparison was that it's not a good excuse for people to use that to let wild animals suffer or to pretend that animals (or people) want to suffer when no one does. Recreation is also not comparable to suffering especially if it's forced on a animal (or human), like predation. Honestly, you were just making excuses to not care about and help about the suffering of wild animals. Why would you do that?

@based-p2b You didn't understand what Hancock was saying. Most people in their daily lives are separate from wild animals and don't see them suffering. So how would people be helping them? There are millions of wild animals who suffer, such as from predation. Everyone knows that. Why did you lie about that? How did Hancock exaggerate about that? Hancock was talking about taking a proactive role to go out and help wild animals. Like how people go out and defend wild animals from preachers. Not just wait around until they see an animal in trouble in their cities. Which would be rare. If you look at the comments on videos of wild animals suffering, like from predation, there are many callous comments that said "it's just nature". So there are a lot of people who don't care about wild animals suffering and would not help those wild animals. Many people are even callous to people and won't (proactively) help them, like with poor people. There are even people who fight against helping poor people. Such as just blaming poor and homeless people for their situation and saying therefore "they deserved the poverty". So having compassion and caring about and wanting to help animals is just narcissism? You're messed up and you contradict yourself. What does this have to do with zoomers? Is that just another way you try to silence people you disagree with?

I stopped the video around minute 20 to comment! "Vegan Gains" is Absolutely Right! To Remove Predators is a Must! Why wouldn't you suggested!!!? And then we can Balance the population of the plant eating animals. You know that, right! NO worries for predators! P.S. I am not sure, that there is No Malice in cats' behaviour! I personally saw how the cat is playing with mouse before she kill the mouse. At least we can see, cats have Pleasure in Torturing the mouse. Would she do it, if she understands better? Well, we do it, so... Yes! And who knows, perhaps the cat understands something! P.P.S. No predators on the planet; one way or another - End of story!

Predation is only part of the problem. First, eliminating predation will cause the population of prey animals to explode and I hope you got the message that more "thriving" of a species means more suffering of any individual within it. Secondly, all the other ways wild animals horribly suffer and die would still stay unsolved.

I believe the most significant thing we can do in the short term is to rewild the 40% of our planet currently being used to farm animals and their food, but do so intentionally in a way that prioritizes food-bearing plants that are appropriate for the ecosystem in question. This will provide habitat and food for animals, help prevent desertification, and increase the number of wild animals so they can survive at the very least. If we can begin eradicating some of the worse diseases, viruses, bacteria and parasites without endangering ecosystems then that would be a next step, but often the healthier an ecosystem, the less susceptible the animals are to disease in general. Maybe we can eventually help predators transition to plant based diets, but that would be a much more complex issue that would be much more likely to alter ecosystems negatively.

@@v.a.n.e. He said some nonsense. Average people are not already helping animals in the wild, if you paid attention you'd know that the amount of wild animals suffering is so incomprehensible even if our entire civilization solely focused on alleviating it (as it should - suffering is pretty much the only thing that objectively matters in this universe) it would barely make a dent. We need to increase our capabilities several orders of magnitude to be even able to do something substantial about it.

I'm halfway through the video so far. And I want to mention two things. You are talking about Numbers to prove that wild animals Suffering is maybe more Urgent than the Suffering of factory farm animals. But you don't provide data about the Duration of the Suffering of wild animals. Do they Suffer all the time, do they suffer for 2 minutes? How much of them suffer all their life? And can we say that the Suffering of factory farm animals is their entire life (it varies)!? So, I think it's Not only the number. More importantly, it is about Intensity and Duration of the Suffering. And you just show ONE Elephant was suffering - what the F! About the Turtles - Ok, they die, but do they suffer immensely for a relatively Long time, like factory farm animals? Tell us! 2. The second thing. I don't think there are 100 billion farm animals at every given moment. I admit, I don't have a statistics, but I think there are MUCH LESS animals at every given moment. Again, I don't know the number, but let's say 25-30 billion farm animals at any moment. But we kill 80 billion farm (land) animals for one year! Or did you mean also fishes from fish farms? If that is the case, you could be totally Right! I thought only for Land (farm) Animals.
