Youtube comments of Monica Song (@monicasong427).

  1. A true reporter who actually shares necessary information that does not just revolve around humans. Fellow animals have such a way of bringing out the most beautiful smiles in fellow humans.
    2900
  2. If caring for someone like a dog means love and respect, then we should care for all fellow animals that way.
    73
  3.  @AshFord-oi6br  Human are from the same biological kingdom as other animals.
    36
  4. Caring for fellow animals is directly caring for fellow humans.
    36
  5. Species like bears, wolves, etc have such a vital role by making wildlife move. In doing so, the soil is able to regenerate and the hooves of wild horses, deers, etc make the soil more aerobic. It is the existence of such native wildlife that makes a sustainable ecology for all.
    27
  6. Native wildlife are vital for human health. Protecting and caring for native wildlife and plants is directly protecting and caring for human beings.
    26
  7. All cows exploited for brief entertainment in rodeo are always killed or sent to slaughtered. When the intent is to use a fellow animal for ones personal gain, there will always involve violence.
    21
  8.  @kornut420  North American slavery was started by Northern European neocolonizers.
    17
  9. Imagine being a gentle pig arriving at a disease ridden slaughterhouse. At least vital carnivores such as owls need to eat other animals to survive. Especially when it is absolutely unnecessary for us to consume fellow animals.
    16
  10. All non-humans, really.
    16
  11. @soccergal30ful  There is a difference between how slavery started in North America vs. being the first non-white to own slaves.
    13
  12. Vital carnivores need to eat other animals to survive. Vital carnivores are actively seeking individuals that are sick, weak, and injured. Thereby, carnivores are increasing the health of the species gene pool they prey upon. No act of human hunting has ever brought a species back from the brink of extinction or increased the health of the species gene pool.
    13
  13. Their existence is our well-being.
    12
  14.  @brianclemons5375  Surely, however wild horses have acclimated here to a point they actually bring more benefit than harm to the surrounding ecology. Please note, it is disrespectful to accuse someone of drug use simply because one is intolerant of the information shared.
    11
  15. For all the fellow animals, let's go vegan.
    11
  16. Please reconsider vegan to channel the greatest power to preserve life.

  17. Thank you for adopting a rescued senior animal and not rewarding breeders to exploit an animals body for profit.
    8
  18. Until we reckon with the root cause of anthropogenic GHG emissions: disease ridden animal agriculture--- this is just treating the symptoms.
    8
  19. We are only as healthy as the environment. A healthful environment requires the presence and abundance of vital native biodiversity. Their existence means our well being.
    8
  20. No act is greater than going vegan. Encourage farmers to grow organic polyculture crops to feed humans directly vs. Farmers growing toxic GMO crops to funnel through exploited animals.
    7
  21. If one eats dead animal products, don't you dare call yourself a conservationist. (Former rancher, Howard Lyman)
    7
  22. The most disrespectful act toward all lives is our needless desire to eat fellow animals. Disease ridden animal agriculture is the greatest destructive act.
    6
  23. Human fishing is the most destructive act against vital marine ecosystems. Rethink paying for such abuse.
    6
  24. Caring for vital native wildlife is directly caring for humans. A healthful environment requires the abundance and diversity of vital native wildlife.
    6
  25. Rodents are vital for healthy living soil by making it aerobic and allowing for the soil to hold water. Toxic invasive monoculture lawns do the exact opposite and harm everyone downstream.
    6
  26. It is time to align our actions with the respect we hold for life by going vegan. No greater act is more powerful in conserving vital ecosystems than eating a bean burrito vs. A dead cow burrito.
    6
  27. The best way to protect vital wildlife is by going vegan. Everybody wins---it is better for you, the environment, and of course the fellow animals who do not want to be slaughtered.
    5
  28. There is no such thing as overfishing. Fishing is destroying the waterways.
    5
  29. Respect life by going vegan. Disease ridden animal agriculture is the most destructive act to all. Reward farmers who feed humans directly vs. Ranchers funneling crops to transgenic exploited animals.
    5
  30. Bullying is not limited to humans. We seldom recognize eating the bodies of fellow animals and their bodily secretions is an act of bullying by placing might over right. We all have to eat but none of us need to eat animal products to survive. When a fellow animal does not need to and want to die, how do we kill their lives without the act of bullying?
    5
  31.  @jonhaynes1577  Please, there is no need to ridicule others. Instead, I kindly ask, one stays focused on the subject matter. Why not make clear, what was actually stated that is ignorant and not knowing?
    5
  32. Absolutely. Our wellbeing depends on their existence. It takes enormous amounts of vital native habitats, scarce fresh water, and plants to funnel through the bodies of exploited fellow animals vs. Feeding humans directly. They are worth going vegan.
    5
  33.  @colinmaharaj  Food addiction is similar to drug addiction in which one may experience coming off the drugs made them feel worse. However, that does not mean it wasn't a good decision for ones health. When we transition away from toxic animal products and junk food, our mind and body is going through a similar withdrawal of addiction. That is why, the individual being interviewed offers a free 21-day kick start program at Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. As some needs time to readjust their taste buds and cravings from harmful products. I kindly ask to reflect back to when one did try to go vegan and think of what was actually eaten. For many consuming unprocessed vegan food, they find themselves not eating enough calories. Please try to incorporate plentiful of legumes, whole grains, vegetables, fruits, seeds, nuts, herbs, spices and fungi into one's body. Because, you deserve to the best. And the best happens to be the healthiest, sustainable, and compassionate to all other life as well.
    5
  34. This is exactly how we treat vegans.
    5
  35. Just as the USDA has as an obligation to prop up disease ridden animal agriculture industries; National park reserves and channels such as PBS are harshly influenced by organizations that promote activities that exploit vital wildlife. No human hunting has ever saved a species from the extinction.
    5
  36. The most powerful act to create and preserve viable habitats is by eliminating dead animal products. The loss of wild areas to animal agriculture is the leading cause of the current mass extinction of vital native. wildlife. Considered the most comprehensive analysis between farming and the environment, without meat and dairy consumption, global farm land use could be reduced by 75%. An area equivalent to the U.S., China, EU, and Australia combined---and still feed the world. (Source: Oxford University, 2018- Reducing foods environmental impacts through producers & consumers) A win-win for all.
    4
  37. We are taking everything from vital native wildlife. A healthful environment is only possible with the abundance and diversity of vital native biodiversity. Our homes, we have taken from vital wildlife, only benefits us when shared as a source of food, shelter, and corridor.
    4
  38. If I may, I would highly recommend going to Barnard medical center even via telemedicine to speak with Dr. Neal Barnard and thousands of physicians and dieticians who actually study evidence based nutrition and medicine. Meanwhile, please make sure one is actually at an unhealthy weight by checking ones BMI. Additionally, please make sure one is getting adequate daily calories. Lastly, try to incorporate more nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains into one diet. Except for wheat, barley, and rye since it was shared that one has gluten sensitivity.

  39.  @brianclemons5375  They are far better than any mega machinery such as tillage equipment that only destroys the structure in the soil by creating compaction.
    4
  40.  tyhon nubret  The important question to your statement, "you think a few horses walking around is going to cover 1% of that"---Why are there such few horses? That is because, the Bureau of Land Management works along side animal agriculture by rounding up over 10,000 horses every year. The horse's are cruelly sent to other countries to be slaughtered and eaten by nations such as France and Japan. Wildlife cannot survive against us constantly exploiting other animals by bringing them into existence. Lastly, when looking at rain forest systems, rain is the number one cause of compaction. Each diverse plant has a role in breaking the droplets of rain before actually hitting the forest floor. That is why it is ever more vital to not have bare dirt on farmland which is commonly seen in-between monoculture row crops.

  41. It is always beautiful to hear from fellow humans that they adopted from a rescue shelter. In doing so, they are giving a chance for another individual to be rescued.
    4
  42. Go vegan for all fellow animals.
    4
  43.  @georgeridden1705  For example, replacing non-human animal use with human simulators. It is important to understand that over 99.6 percent of disease drugs that succeed in non-human animals fail in humans.
    4
  44.  @vatrweaver5169  Certainly there is. There are called primitive homosapien primates called humans.
    4
  45. Unlike humans, other animals never harm randomly. Attacks occur when we invoke fear and threats for vital wildlife to self defend themselves.
    4
  46. @MBMCincy63  War is not essential. It is essential for vital carnivores to eat other animals.
    4
  47. Vegan is a great way to start.
    4
  48. Fences are disrespectful. All animals including humans have a right to use the lands as corridors to move safely. Please consider a diversity of native shrubs and trees as a healthful barrier.
    4
  49. Let’s extend consideration to all fellow animals by going vegan.
    4
  50. Non- human animals never harm unnecessarily. Fear only exists with a lack of understanding.
    4
  51.  @michaelt8388  Oh yes, Michael T. Hope you are as well.
    4
  52. There is no such thing as a dangerous dog. They are merely traumatized and require time to lower their guard.
    4
  53. Abuse towards fellow animals will only lead to abuse of fellow humans.
    4
  54. All coral reef ecosystems that came back from the brink of extinction have one thing in common: banning fishing. Animal agriculture is the greatest ecologically destructive act.
    4
  55. Please rethink pure bred. Rape is not limited to humans. Forcibly penetrating semen into a female animals is rape. 70% of all dogs in solitary confined shelters and kill sites are pure bred. (HSUS) Meaning, it was us that intentionally brought them into existence.
    3
  56. Our species is great at concluding to assumptions without any reason or evidence. Rather than pointing at other species, it’s time to hold some humility on how cruel and destructive our kind is. For example, how many pay to destroy marine ecosystems to unnecessarily taste the bodies of dead fish?
    3
  57. Exploiting dogs in conservation only leads to increasing dog populations at shelters as they are dumped when no longer useful. Dingo dogs have adapted to their surroundings where they provide more benefit to the native ecosystems. Diversity of vital native carnivores are essential for healthful ecosystems.
    3
  58.  @owadenvironment  There are no regulations for military working dogs when the dogs are no longer able to carry out their expected duties.
    3
  59. @tanglemangle3091  In the beginning of the documentation, the 3 industries called out causing the most destruction to the environment was coal, timber, and unsustainable animal agriculture. Animal agriculture creates more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire world's transportation sector combined. (WHO, 2006) Veganism was not stated as the only solution. However, the elimination of dead animal products is the most important factor for ecological sustainability. We seldom realize the cheapest foods are also the most healthful and sustainable for the environment by consuming legumes, whole grains, vegetables, fruits, seeds, nuts, herbs & spices, and fungi.
    3
  60. If one thinks about it, us eating other animals is the same as poaching them. Both are unnecessary and cruel.
    3
  61. Vegan. Try it. It's worth it. Even if it's just for individuals like them.
    3
  62. Respecting vital wildlife is directly respecting humans.
    3
  63.  @brianclemons5375  It is important to look at the root cause of the matter before just pointing to symptoms. Who caused the hogs you speak of to become a non-native wild species to begin with? More importantly, as shared previously, it is not the wild hogs but the mega machinery that destroys the the soil structure. Thereby, having a significant role in causing disease, pathogens, and pests with reduced oxygen conditions in the soil.
    3
  64.  @therespectedlex9794  That is not a reasonable justification to needlessly exploit the lives of other animals to make a profit. More important, it would be more ignorant to do so at the expense of ecological destruction for all.
    3
  65. @RealFarknMcCoy  It is important to understand that most vital native species are pushed toward extinction due to the loss of wild areas. This is the same reason why many indigenous people are also facing extinction as they are forced out of their indigenous wild lands. All while, dead animal products are a class 1 carcinogen for humans. Eliminating dead animal products is simply a win-win for all.
    3
  66. @mr.commonsense  Please keep in mind, it takes enormous amounts of land, plants, and scarce fresh water to feed the bodies of exploited animals vs. Feeding humans directly. If plants are of concern, it would be even more imperil to be vegan.
    3
  67.  @RealFarknMcCoy  The loss of wild areas to animal agriculture is the leading cause of the current mass extinction of vital native wildlife.

    3
  68. @AJWRAJWR  We cope in many ways. We seldom realize that by consuming rotting flesh, lactation breast milk from another mother species, and period eggs of female birds only fuels ones own impotence. As altruistic motives don't appear to be an option, here is one just for oneself. Erectile dysfunction and heart disease can be two different manifestations of the exact same root problem: diseased arteries—inflamed, oxidized, cholesterol-clogged blood vessels. A diet abundant in anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cholesterol-lowering plant and fungi foods improve sexual functioning in both men and women, as well as reduce risk of our #1 killer: heart disease.
    3
  69. Another consequence of human hunting. An eagle does not choke other vital wildlife when hunting out of necessity.
    3
  70. @ToughieTheRabbsFringeLimbedTre  The documentary stated anthropogenic climate change is the greatest threat. Disease ridden animal agriculture creates more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire world's transportation sector combined. (WHO, 2006) To make matters worse, the loss of wild areas to animal agriculture is the leading cause of the current mass extinction of vital native. wildlife. Considered the most comprehensive analysis between farming and the environment, without meat and dairy consumption, global farm land use could be reduced by 75%.

  71. ​@georgeridden1705 There is absolutely no need to use non- human animals to study human animals. Especially when human relevant methods of research clearly exists.
    3
  72. For most of us, we would try to do something if a fellow animal in need came our way. The best way to help a fellow animal in need is to not buy their body parts as food. The flesh of chicken is the #1 contributor to weight gain in the human diet.
    3
  73. Coral reef ecosystems evolved for over a billion years. For an ecosystem that thrived and evolved for over a billion years, is it reasonable to conclude that it is natural for an ecosystem to collapse in a matter of decades?
    3
  74.  @sandro327  There is nothing about rotting carcasses, mother cow/ mother goat lactation breast milk for her calf turned cheese products, and period eggs of female birds that promote human health in any way.
    3
  75. Go vegan for the individual.
    3
  76. The acidification of the ocean is not a matter to take lightly.
    3
  77. Disease ridden animal agriculture is the greatest invasive species. Go vegan to stand for all native biodiversity.
    3
  78. At times, we may feel helpless to assist and care for others like these incredible wildlife rehabilitaters. Yet, day by day when we choose to not eat other animals and their secretions---one makes the greatest contribution to all wildlife.
    3
  79. @Pizza Pasta Lasagna Spaghetti Meatballs  Certainly. However, similar to rodents, Shrews play a vital role in making bigger pores and structures in the soil. Thereby increasing soil biology to stand against any erosion.
    3
  80. @eklectiktoni  Please provide the scientific evidence that is stating such assertions. Be that as it may, the exploitation of fellow animals (disease ridden animal agriculture) is the largest consumers of fossil fuel. For example, feed crop production, pharmaceutical drugs, transport of GMO crops, transport of innocent animals, slaughterhouses, packing facilities, and the constant refrigeration for decaying flesh and other bodily fluids.
    3
  81.  @forcedge2302 Anthropogenic climate change was never part of the natural order. For example, animal agriculture creates more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire world’s transportation sector combined. (WHO, 2006) We are only as healthy as the environment. A healthful environment is only possible with the abundance and diversity of vital native wildlife. Vegan is as healthy as eating chunky bean chili vs. chunky carcasses chili.
    3
  82.  @forcedge2302  It wasn’t stated that anthropogenic climate change causes hurricanes. Anthropogenic climate change certainly intensifies and increases the pace of climatic catastrophes.
    3
  83.  @markosgelos3321  Because, there is no difference between dogs and other animals. The preference for dogs come with time shared together compared to other animals. However, personal preference cannot be a reasonable justification to not treat other animals with respect and love.
    3
  84. So many of us have so much compassion in our hearts. The greatest act of compassion one may do for a ecologically sustainable environment, wildlife, non-human animals continuously brought into existence for slaughter, and each others health is to try and go vegan.
    3
  85.  @colinmaharaj  The very study you cited stated, "The results of this review provided evidence that fat consumption increases large, buoyant LDL and/or decreases small, dense LDL particles, and therefore, influences CVD risk." The #1 source of saturated fat is dairy and animal products. #1 source of trans fat is animal products. As the Institute of Medicine stated any intake of saturated and trans fat above zero increased cholesterol concentration. Therefore, it is the elimination of animal flesh and their by-products that reduces the #1 risk factor to our #1 killer: heart disease.
    3
  86.  @colinmaharaj  Without any credible evidence to support your statements, simply pointing fingers at others is not respectful. There is nothing about eating the carcass of other animals and their by-products that promotes human health. Lastly, it will never be safe to consume animal products when it is the greatest threat to biodiversity and humanity.
    3
  87. Rethink nuclear power. 1. No greenhouse gas emissions. 2. Most reliable source of energy. 3. According to IPCC, nuclear power is the safest and killed the least human lives.
    3
  88. @ Vital is used to exemplify the essential need for native carnivores for a healthful ecosystem. Obligate vital carnivores need to eat other animals out of necessity. Whereas, we have no dietary requirement to eat decaying flesh, mother cow/goat lactation breast milk for her calf turned dairy products, and menstruation eggs of female birds to promote human health. Our needless desire to eat fellow animals and their bodily secretions is pushing vital native biodiversity to extinction.

  90. Dogs forced to race. Horses forced to race. When we use a fellow animal for our own personal gain and profit—there will always be abuse. Why pay to keep them alive when they are no longer useful to us. Just like a mother cow who can no longer get pregnant so we may take her breast milk are killed for hamburgers.
    3
  91. We are taking every source of food from the orcas. All while, we are destroying and polluting their home. Respect marine animals by keeping their bodies out of ours.
    2
  92. If one finds themselves in a situation where vital wildlife and other animals are used to scaremonger the public, it is important to keep in mind that non- human animals do not kill randomly. For example, in the U.S. human hunters have murdered millions of wolves in the last century. On the contrary, there are only 3 credible records in North America of wolves taking a human life in the last century.
    2
  93. Please stop spreading doubt. There is no such thing as sustainably exploiting fellow animals in agriculture. Let's not wait for others to align their actions by going vegan. The greatest loss of vital native biodiversity is animal agriculture.
    2
  94. We are far more empowered. There is nothing more powerful in mitigating our greenhouse gas emissions than by going vegan. Everything we need comes from plants and fungi. By eating the source of all essential nutrients directly--- we can protect non-human animals, the environment, and each other. A win win win for every body.
    2
  95. We have a moral obligation to be vegan. Disease ridden animal agriculture is the #1 cause of poverty and extinction of vital native biodiversity.
    2
  96. @KevinUchihaOG  We are only as healthy as the environment. It is only with the abundance and presence of vital native biodiversity is a healthful ecosystem possible. It takes enormous amounts of land, plants, and scarce fresh water to funnel through the bodies of exploited animals vs. Feeding humans directly.
    2
  97. It would be wise to show some consideration. Most of the food products eaten in Minnesota are grown from areas that are going through ravage ecological destruction by our neglectful choices.
    2
  98. @igotfriendsinlowplaces2971  There is no need for assumptions. The long winter months in Minnesota make it impossible to grow food, especially if one eats animal products.
    2
  99. Absolute respect. Considered the most comprehensive analysis between farming and the environment. The loss of wild areas to animal agriculture is the leading cause of the current mass extinction of vital native wildlife. Without meat and dairy consumption, global farm land use could be reduced by more than 75%. An area equivalent to the U.S., China, EU, and Australia combined. All while, still feeding the world.

  100. It's hard to adore the live animals when so much tortured dead animals are laid on a plate.
    2
  101. Absolutely. The best way to protect is by going vegan. Animal products are a class 1 carcinogen. Eliminating dead animal products is a win-win for all.
    2
  102. Do not let media scaremonger about vital wildlife. The immense number of innocent individual bears that are cruelly killed every year by human hunters in the U.S. alone is hardly a comparison to a few human lives that are taken every year. Especially when it is us taking everything from wildlife.
    2
  103. The calf will always be separated from their mother since we are consuming the calves' mothers lactating breast milk. Just like us, a mother cow tends to give birth to a single calf--- lactating breast milk for her baby.

  110. Cruelty free products are also a human rights matter. Humans deserve modern human relevant methods of research.
    2
  111.  @timc333  In many ways, I understand where you are coming from. For example, it is always disheartening to see someone with a pool---knowing how scarce fresh water is and the amount of toxins that is used within such pools. All while, the harm these pools bring to individuals such as these dogs, wildlife, human children, and of course, the environment. On the other hand, every time one chooses to reward breeders for exploiting a non-human animals body for profit---a fellow animal at the shelter is more likely to be sent to kill shelters or left living inside a cage. As most fellow humans still choose to reward such exploitation, it was just a small way to highlight the importance of adopting from (credible) rescue organizations.
    2
  112. @fleetingfacet8028  Please be kind to oneself, too. If altruistic motives are not enough, here is one for oneself. In the U.S., heart disease is our #1 killer. American cardiologists Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn reversed heart disease without any drugs and surgery. This was only possible by fully eliminating all animal products. To make matters worse, the destructive act of human hunting is the #1 cause of lead pollution and poisoning today.
    2
  113. @RealFarknMcCoy  Our opinions does not disprove the facts. Disease ridden animal agriculture is the #1 cause of ecological destruction worldwide. (NASA)

  114. This is the consequence of exploiting a fellow animal for profit. We genetically manipulate sheep to have excess skin so they may grow more wool, endlessly. Forcing the sheep to be dependent on us for survival. The wool industry can no longer be ethically justifiable and ecologically sustainable.
    2
  115. Let's create awesomeness by going vegan. There is no greater destruction to life than our needless exploitation of fellow animals.
    2
  116. Human hunters are the #1 cause of lead pollution and poisoning today. In the U.S. alone, human hunters dump millions of pounds of lead into the environment every single year.
    2
  117. Wild dogs actually increase the gene pool by hunting sick, weak, or diseased individuals. Human hunters do the exact opposite by creating extinction within the species. All while, destroying vital ecosystems.
    2
  118. Caring for fellow animals is directly caring for fellow humans.
    2
  119. We cause so much harm towards fellow earthlings. It’s time to show our consideration toward fellow animals starting with the individuals we pay to have killed 3 times a day plus snacks. Rethink vegan.

  120. We are only as healthy as the environment. A healthful environment is only possible with the existence and abundance of vital native wildlife. Their existence is our wellbeing.

  121. @ToughieTheRabbsFringeLimbedTre  Animal agriculture is the most ecologically destructive to all native biodiversity. Does it make sense to participate in the most threatening act towards the species one is attempting to conserve? All while, animal products are a class 1 carcinogen for humans.
    2
  122. @ToughieTheRabbsFringeLimbedTre  Animal agriculture is the most ecologically destructive industry. The exploitation of fellow animals causes the most air, soil, and water pollution.
    2
  123. @ToughieTheRabbsFringeLimbedTre  Until we reckon with the root cause of ecological destruction: animal agriculture---all one is doing is merely delaying the extinction of the species within the geographical location.
    2
  124. @ToughieTheRabbsFringeLimbedTre  It is important to understand that destructive industries such as animal agriculture exist due to our demands. It may not be us directly stabbing the individual animals and poisoning the lands to feed the non-human animals, but there is no difference in paying others to kill and pollute on our behalf.
    2
  125. @ToughieTheRabbsFringeLimbedTre  The greatest use of land is the exploitation of non-human animals. Transitioning confined animal feed operations, factory farms, slaughterhouses, dead animal packing facilities, and mega refrigeration facilities to slow down the decaying process of dead animals to credible sanctuaries would not take any more land. Our consumption of dead animals and their bodily secretions is the #1 cause of species extinction worldwide. Contributing to the #1 cause of species extinction is not saving a species from extinction. For example, Coca-Cola company sending out a team to pick up some plastic bottles is not tackling the root cause of plastic pollution. Palm fruit containing products is only found in junk food. According to the USDA, over 85% of all palm oil is used in animal products. Thereby, the elimination of dead animal products drastically cuts down the consumption of harmful palm oil. Generating income is not a reasonable justification to destroy the environment. In the U S. alone, human hunters dump millions of pounds of lead into the environment every year. Making human hunters the #1 cause of lead pollution and poisoning today. It is far more admirable when individuals align their actions to prevent the root cause of harm rather than just treating the symptoms.

  126. @ToughieTheRabbsFringeLimbedTre  Every GMO cow, chicken, pig, turkey, sheep, duck, and most fish are fed crops. The same land that is used to grow feed crops for exploited gentle non-human animals can be better used to grow crops to feed humans directly. There is no denying that the way we treat the soil could (should) certainly improve. Although it is not necessary to consume avocados and cacao, it actually provides human health benefits. Eating local 7 days a week can not rival the environmental benefits of eating vegan for 1 day. (Carnegie Mellon University, 2008, Weber & Mattew)

  127. @usa4ever711  Thank you for sharing the truth about fellow animals exploited for needless food products. Please consider extending the thought to all animal products. The very exploitation of non-human animals will always involve violence. In the U.S. alone, human hunters dump millions of pounds of lead into the environment every year. Making human hunters the #1 cause of lead pollution and poisoning today. We seldom realize the harsh cruelty involved in killing and betraying a fellow animal who actually enjoyed their life and wanted to live. Everything we need comes from the sun and the soil. All minerals come from the soil. Vitamins are made by plants and fungi. Vitamin D is a sunshine hormone. Vitamin B12 is a bacteria found in waterways and the soil. Omega-3's are only made by plants such as plant algae and flax seeds. The elimination of all animal products aligns our actions with the respect we hold for fellow animals. All while, promoting environmental and human health. Win for all.

  128. Please reconsider vegan by not paying others to kill fellow animals on one’s behalf.

  129.  @ACommenterOnYouTube  If plants are of concern, it would be even more imperil to be vegan. It takes far more land, scarce fresh water, and plants to feed exploited animals vs. Feeding a human child directly.

  130. Animal protein consumed by humans is the #1 killer in the American diet causing heart disease. Keeping dead bodies of other animals away from our mouths, keeps loving individual animals out of slaughterhouses.

  132. @wasntme7845  If one is attempting to make a racist remark, it would be wise to focus on the subject. Diseases that cause pandemics are from exploiting non-human animals. Why is one cherry-picking the fields of science, when we all use, and trust science. For example, we would never allow anybody to feed children arsenic, no matter how much the child's guardians self-proclaimed it to be safe. That is because we have extensive scientific evidence showcasing arsenic causes cancer in humans.

  133. The greatest threat toward vital native wildlife and the humans safeguarding nature is ranchers. Cows, sheep, pigs, chicken, fish, ducks, and others require far more land, scarce fresh water, and plants vs. Feeding humans directly. Try chickpea hummus with toast vs. Lactation from another mother species turned cheese on toast.

  143. Animal agriculture is the #1 cause of anthropogenic climate change inducing greenhouse gas emissions. (WHO, 2006) If fellow animals are not enough, go vegan for humans. It takes enormous amounts of land, scarce fresh water, and plants to funnel through the bodies of exploited non-human animals vs. Feeding humans directly. Vegan is as healthful as eating bean burritos vs. Rotting carcasses burritos.

  144. @lastEvergreen  It is important to understand that toxic GMO crops are planted as feed crops for the gentle non-human animals exploited for our needless consumption.

  146. Fellow animals, including each other, are worthy of respect regardless of one’s usefulness to another. Most puppies forcibly brought into existence will not be fit to carry out their expected duties for our own personal gain. Therefore, human created pure breds only increase the population at kill shelters.

  156.  @eklectiktoni  To add, animal agriculture is the most ecologically destructive industry. The loss of wild areas to animal agriculture is the leading cause of the current mass extinction of vital native wildlife. Considered the most comprehensive analysis between farming and the environment, without meat and dairy consumption, global farm land use could be reduced by 75%. An area equivalent to the U.S., China, EU, and Australia combined---and still feed the world. (Source: Oxford University, 2018- Reducing foods environmental impacts through producers & consumers)

  157. @eklectiktoni  It was never stated as a magic bullet. However, it would be wise to tackle the root cause of ecological destruction: animal agriculture. We all have to eat, but we certainly do not have to consume the bodies of fellow animals and their bodily secretions.

  162. @thebeatnumber  It is not a proud moment in history where non-whites emulate the work of abuse and torture. A back of a horse is not a seat or hauler for humans. As with human slaves, exploited horses are also harshly abused to be used as an amusement park ride.

  163. @Terrance-uz8rh  Rural Africans have one of the longest life expectancy. All while, rural Africans have one of the lowest rates of chronic disease. Dead rotting animal products were funneled through slaves. Today, African Americans have the highest morality rate of all races. It doesn't take much to understand why, as the inner cities of black communities are littered with glorified factory farm products and junk food.

  164.  @colinmaharaj  Consistent evidence from a variety of sources unequivocally establishes that bad LDL cholesterol causes atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, strokes, and heart attacks—our leading cause of death. This evidence base includes hundreds of studies involving millions of people. Cholesterol is the cause of atherosclerosis, the hardening of the arteries. Source: Low- density lipoprotein cause atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Evidence from genetic, epidemiologic, and clinical studies. A consensus statement from the European Atherosclerosis Society Consensus Panel.

  165.  @colinmaharaj  One had mentioned that "you can't under any circumstances reduce cholesterol, since all hormones start with cholesterol"---however, we can start by not consuming other animals since only animals produce hormones. It is important to understand that it is the livers of animals that make cholesterol. Thereby, cholesterol only comes from an animal. Lastly, light large buoyant LDL still significantly increases our risk of dying from our #1 killer. As the latest review on the subject concluded, LDL cholesterol has been clearly established as a causal agent in atherosclerosis, regardless of size. Study for reference: Dietary cholesterol from eggs increases the ratio of total cholesterol to high- density lipoprotein cholesterol in humans: a meta- analysis.

  166.  @colinmaharaj  An influence toward cardiovascular disease can only be negative.
    2
  167.  @colinmaharaj  If I may, where is one getting the evidence to support such false assertions? The Paleolithic period, also known as the Stone Age, only goes back about two million years. Humans and other great apes have been evolving for the last 20 million years, starting back in the Miocene era. During the Miocene era, the diet is generally agreed to have been a high-fiber plant-based diet. For the vast majority of our family’s evolution, we ate what the rest of our great ape cousins eat—leaves, stems, and shoots (in other words, vegetables), as well as fruits, seeds, and nuts. On average,150 grams of fiber is similar to what populations in rural Africa used to eat—populations almost entirely free from many of our chronic killer diseases, such as colon cancer and heart disease. Just another reminder that we are a plant eating herbivore.

  168. Human hunters bring so much needless harm toward fellow animals such as bait animals like lotus; breeding by bringing more dogs into existence then dumping them; and the very animals slaughtered from hunting. If that's not enough, human hunters harshly harm all other life by dumping over a million pounds of lead into the environment every year in the U.S. alone.

  169. @Xanthate1845  The exploitation of non-human animals is the most ecologically destructive.

  171. Toxic monoculture lawns are everywhere. If one takes land from others, please reconsider the health of native biodiversity that only make healthful ecosystems possible.

  172. Who are we pointing at other animals for being dangerous? We fragment and fracture vital native habitats—Only to pollute and encroach the remaining of vital native wildlife territory. We ruthlessly slaughtered and ate the bodies of other apes such as chimpanzees, spreading AIDS to each other. Chimpanzees are essential for healthful ecosystems. Harming fellow apes and other vital native wildlife only harms us.

  175.  @Kaikaifilu1994  Legislations are only effective when enforced. Human hunters are notorious for clearing lands to make way for such destructive activities. Vital native carnivores actively seek weak, injured, and sick individuals. Thereby, increasing the health of the species gene pool they prey upon. Human hunters needlessly target the largest, strongest, and most robust individuals only to weaken the gene pool leading the species to extinction.

Human hunters kill the strongest, healthiest, and most robust individuals. Leading the species to extinction and ecological destruction.

  181. Toxic pesticides such as herbicide fertilizer and other pesticides have been found in all areas of the earth. As pesticides carpet the soil leaching to waterways and volatile into the atmosphere, it harms everyone downstream. Especially vital wildlife. #1 Source of toxic pesticides is by eating the dead bodies of these gentle animals---the body of an animal stores the highest concentration of all toxins and pollutants.

Especially when we ridicule, demean, and shut down any conversation and action showing consideration toward fellow animals. If altruistic motives are not enough, here is one for oneself. In the U.S., heart disease is our #1 killer. American cardiologists Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn reversed heart disease without any drugs and surgery. This was only possible by fully eliminating all animal products.

If you look at Amazonians, at a minimum, every two years they move to a different location---seemingly aware the soil and plants need time to regenerate. In doing so, we primates are also wonderful seed spreaders. Another aspect that makes us move would be our desire to mate---creating healthier genes through diversity rather than incest. Perhaps, another would be to avoid conflicts of any form within the tribes. Thereby, joining or creating a new tribe with less conflict.

  242.  @Luke_Skywalker1836  It is our constant cruel demand to eat the dead bodies of fellow animals, mother cow/ goat lactation breast milk for her baby turned cheese products, and period eggs of female birds that fuels the supply. Female animals are systemically raped to bring more life into existence to replace the fellow animals one has just eaten.

  243.  @ACommenterOnYouTube  It takes far more land, scarce fresh water, and plants to funnel through the bodies of exploited gentle non-human animals vs. Feeding a human child directly. We all have to eat but none of us need to eat the bodies of other animals and their bodily secretions.

  244. Stand for all wildlife by trying and going vegan. There is no greater impact one can make for our distant cousins than to not consume them.

  245. Here’s another powerful way to benefit one another: Considered the most comprehensive analysis between farming and the environment. The loss of wild areas to animal agriculture is the leading cause of the current mass extinction of vital wildlife. Without meat and dairy consumption, global farm land use could be reduced by more than 75%. An area equivalent to the U.S., China, EU, and Australia combined. All while, still feeding the world. (Source: Reducing foods environmental impacts through producers and consumers, Oxford University, 2018) Vegan is as cheap and healthy as eating bean burritos vs. Rotting carcasses burritos.

  248. @Digger-Nick  Quite odd, isn't it? When all pandemics came from the exploitation of non-human animals. All while, it was the Europeans that domesticated the first non- human animal. As a leading nation, it would be wise to set respectable examples rather than point to other nations who are just following the examples.
    1
  249. Absolutely disrespectful. We are taking everything from vital native wildlife. Disrespecting fellow animals only leads to disrespect to each other.

  250.  @carrow2250 As a start, nothing is mine. As an individual, living humbly is worthy. And go to neighbors that are struggling and see if I may be of help.

  251. If one wears wool, one is intentionally paying for this type of suffering to continue. Rethink fashion: vegan, organic, local, reuse, recycle, and reduce as much as possible.
    1
  252. The greatest hypocrisy of our kind is to claim to respect nature and all the inhabitants that make nature possible. Yet, when asked to consider the unnecessary harms brought on by our demand to eat fellow animal bodies and their bodily secretions—how dare we eat bean burritos vs. rotting bird carcasses burritos?
    1
  253. Let's go vegan now!
    1
  254. We seldom realize our needless desire to plant the same tree row after row and the same grass acre after acre, harshly weakens the soil---then, we resort to more toxic pesticides to somehow reduce the spread of disease. To only, cut all the trees down anyway and create more dead zones. Please stand for native diversity of both plants and wildlife. So, individuals such as this red squirrel do not have to resort to ones concrete walls.
    1
  255. Our desire to eat animal flesh and their secretions as food is increasing conflict among wildlife. The greatest act we can do for wildlife and their habitat is to take other animals out of our diet. Go vegan for mother nature.

  256. Choosing to eat something else vs. someone else requires no sacrifice from us. The humility of vegan with a bean burrito.

  258. That is a slaughterhouse truck. When fellow animals are raped into existence just to be mercilessly killed---there will always be harm to human beings.
    1
  259. In the U.S., heart disease is our #1 killer. American heart surgeon Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn reversed heart disease without any drugs and surgery. This was only possible by fully eliminating all animal products. It’s as easy as eating bean based chili vs. Rotting carcasses based chili.
    1
  260. Yet, how many of us just pass by fellow animals that was killed by our kind?
    1
  261.  @koolflash310 Absolutely disrespectful. Increasing the population at kill shelters harms humans as well. The well being of other animals directly impacts human health.
    1
  262. Every time we needlessly eat the carcass of another animal, we are paying others to rape more lives into existence. Thereby, the main cause of pushing vital native wildlife into extinction. Always remember, everything we need comes plants and fungi. Eating rotting flesh is only recycling plant nutrients.
    1
  263. An important message that was shared that must be considered by the rest of us---the fellow animals were rescued animals. Not one that came from a needless exploitor that cruelly breeds another animals body.

  264. Humans breeding other animals must stop. 70% of all dogs in kill shelters are pure bred. (HSUS)

  265. Be a hero to wildlife by going vegan. U.S. tax subsides pay for this to happen so we may cruelly eat the rotting carcass of fellow animals, mother cow/ goat lactation breast milk for her calf turn dairy products, and period eggs of female birds.

  266. What kind of fear lingering music is this? We encroach into the homes of other animals and blame their defense as dangerous.

  267.  @JohnDoe-s3v2v  Me too, friend. ^^

  268.  @brendaknox7568  Certainly, there is a way: vegan. Animals agriculture is the most ecologically destructive act and the #1 cause of vital native habitat loss worldwide. (NASA) There are no dietary requirements for us to consume rotting flesh, mother cow/goat lactation breast milk for her calf turned ultra processed cheese products, and period eggs of female birds. By eliminating the consumption of animal products, we make the greatest contribution to vital native biodiversity and the climate. Support crop farmers feeding humans directly vs. ranchers funneling plants through exploited gentle animals. As slaughterhouse workers suffer immensely as well.
    1
  269.  @brendaknox7568  The human population will not end the needless demand to eat animal products over night. Thereby, ending the demand to eating animal bodies and secretions by no longer forcibly impregnating female animals to bring more life into existence to replace the fellow animals one has just eaten. As lands become freed from the systematic enslavement of transgenic animals, native biodiversity can start to restore and revitalize the lands to once they used to be.

  270. Just like this guardian, always adopt. Please do not ever reward breeders for taking advantage of someone's life for profit.
    1
  271. It is not the ugly act of hunting by humans that is their greatest threat. Ones needlessly cruel intention to eat fellow animals is pushing wildlife into starvation and extinction. Wildlife simply cannot compete against our species constantly raping non-human animals into existence.
    1
  272. Is this surprising? Just as cruel, we are paying others to kill gentle animals every single day, 3x a day plus snacks. Even vital native carnivores, who need to eat other animals to survive, do not eat the bodies of other animals everyday—let alone 3x a day plus snacks. Please reconsider vegan.
    1
  273. We take everything from vital native wildlife. Until we reckon with the root cause of habitat loss and species extinction: Disease ridden animal agriculture—sharing space and giving food back is an essential act of conservation.
    1
  274. We need to build corridors for wildlife everywhere along with the roads. All while, using the corridors to connect the native ecosystems. Caring about fellow animals will only increase care toward fellow human animals.

  279. Never pay others to forcibly impregnate to intentionally bring more life into existence or kidnap other animals from their home for profit. Always adopt from credible rescue organizations. This is also where to go to connect with other animals vs. Zoo’s using other animals for profit.

  282. Anthropogenic climate change is flooding natural islands while we encroach the remaining. Please reconsider vegan for the climate.

  283. Respect starts by aligning our actions. The greatest threat to vital marine life is animal products. To show our respect, try eating hummus based sandwiches vs. period eggs of female birds based mayo.

  284. It is worth reflecting on our own actions---how much our choices to eat animals is causing immense abuse? Also, there is no need to choke someone for walking faster or going in a different direction---At a minimum, please use a harness.

  285. It is time for us to align our morals with our actions. Go vegan to reduce the #1 cause of deforestation and species extinction.
    1
  286.  @eklectiktoni  The #1 use of harmful fossil fuels is animal agriculture. Disease ridden animal agriculture is the #1 cause of deforestation of vital lands. (NASA) Our absolute unnecessary consumption of rotting carcasses, mother cow/ goat lactation breast milk for her baby turned cheese products is the most ecologically destructive act.

  287.  @eklectiktoni  The greatest ecological destructive act is disease ridden animal agriculture.

  294. If we eliminate animal flesh and their secretions as food, the entire continent of Australia would be able to rewild and that's just a start. One choice has such far reaching effects.

  295. Vegan is the most effective way to challenge discrimination. When we do not view the lives of other animals as less than; it will only reflect onto fellow humans to not view another as less than.

  296. Human hunters are the #1 cause of lead pollution and poisoning today.

  297. Always and only adopt fellow animals from credible rescue organizations. Raping female dogs to bring more life into existence only guarantees increase in kill shelter populations.

  302. When we think we can own someone's life, then we can also dump them like garbage. We are not owners. Instead, we are guardians and caretakers of fellow animals and the environment.

  303. Starting from the use of land grow feed crops; the enormous amount of water to irrigate the feed crops; the water used to directly feed the exploited animals; the greenhouse gas emissions that comes from constantly bringing hundred billion animals into existence every year for needless food products is the greatest cause for anthropogenic global warming and climate change. For all the fellow animals (and plants) on the verge of extinction; the fellow animals who desperately do not want to be slaughtered; and fellow humans dying of thirst---try and go vegan. Everything we need comes from the soil and the sun---funneling essential nutrients through the bodies of other animals is cruel and the cause of chronic disease.

  304. We are taking everything from vital wildlife. Giving food back is an act of conservation until we reckon the root cause: disease ridden animal agriculture.

  305. We intentionally cause so much harm. Vital wildlife only harm in self defense.

  306. Reconsider the consumption of dead marine animals. Marine animals have the highest concentration of heavy metals. Toxic heavy metals clog the arteries to the brain, causing alzheimers disease in humans.

  307. Pure breds are purely cruel. Rewarding others to forcibly impregnate female bodies to profit off her babies only increases the population at kill shelters.

  308. In 1998, U.S. tax payers paid for the genocide of 40,000 elephants in Africa. Blaming vital native wildlife for desertification. After the massacre killings of 40,000 elephants, desertification only became more severe. Go vegan to show consideration to all fellow animals—not just a few.
    1
  309. Please think of the immense harm from creating an invasive toxic monoculture lawn. Try a diversity of low growing native cover crops instead.
    1
  310. For all our distant sisters and brothers, let's eat more array of healthful beans, fruits, whole grains, vegetables, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices, and fungi. The more one gets away from eating decaying carcasses, lactation breast milk of another mother species, and period eggs of birds---we make the most impactful contribution to the environment. Which, of course, only benefits us as well.

  311. Finally, a footage of horses that isn't being abused by using their backs as chairs. It is hard to understand the care when we continue to control rather than exercise patience by yanking one of the most sensitive part of an animal---our face.

  313. Fishermen are the greatest dangers for vital marine ecosystems. The rest of us paying to unnecessarily consume marine animals are fueling the danger. Get omega-3’s from walnuts vs. dead fish.
