This short comedy was inspired by a claim chickens were slaughtered towards the end of their natural lives. I tried to keep it fun rather than labouring points (like pigs being smart). People seem keen to let me know when they think I’ve failed, but clips from the film have had tens of millions of views across socials, and at least one person stopped eating meat after watching it (the biggest win). The reference to Chinese, like the reference to Japanese and Canadians, refers to inhabitants (and the Yulin Dog Meat Festival specifically) rather than the Han ethnic group.
COMMON ARGUMENTS AGAINST VEGANISM:
This article explains why meat eaters feel the need to defend their behaviour/attack vegans:
I didn’t address these arguments in the film as I was unaware people used them to justify their support for animal suffering (while the aliens are surprised humans would still eat animals).
“Other animals eat other animals!“
Other animals have no choice, lack moral agency, and act on instinct. Other animals routinely commit infanticide, while some eat their young. The logic of basing your behaviour on what other animals do is clearly flawed, or we should have no compunction in killing or eating babies with our genitalia out (which I believe is frowned upon). Here’s a great drama short that imagines humans copying the natural animal behaviour that is rape:
“We’re meant to eat meat!“
We evolved as omnivores, but there is now no need to consume meat. That’s just a fact. Please read and , which address the meat made us human myth. The scientific consensus is that a meat-free diet is the healthiest with research dating to the 1960s (Adventists). The Southern States also made similar arguments for maintaining slavery: that it’s perfectly “natural“ (Stephens). Slavery existed for millennia and the majority thought it fine so, clearly, neither a historical norm nor the majority view is necessarily the correct or moral one. Rather, your ethics are likely formed by cultural ethical relativism (Einstein referred to meat eaters as being imprisoned by delusion).
“Eating plants is no better!“
This runs along the lines of plants being “alive“, “sentient“ or having “feelings“. Plants are alive but are not sentient and do not have feelings. If you can’t see the difference between a cow and cowslip please read this paper - - which debunks the research that has led to some meat eaters claiming plant sentience in a desperate attempt at deflection (while ignoring that more human-edible crops go to feeding livestock than directly to humans). It is worth noting that trees bear fruit specifically to be eaten (no livestock wants us to eat them), while the argument that eating one life form is no worse than eating any other life form is to also argue people should be eating golden retrievers: calling vegans hypocrites for distinguishing between the plant and animal kingdoms while distinguishing between different orders of mammal is absurd. Indeed, this whole argument is so embarrassingly inane I’m surprised I have to address it.
“Animals are killed growing crops!“
Animals are killed harvesting crops though the data is poor (they count populations before and after harvesting so do not account for animals that simply leave when the combine harvester approaches). However, not only is killing animals not the purpose of arable farming (and tens of billions more animals are killed in animal agriculture each year) but more human-edible crops go to feeding livestock than (directly) to feeding humans, so meat eaters are still responsible for more of these deaths than vegans (even before the animals are slaughtered for their meat). If you’re concerned about creatures being chopped up, veganism would be the best course.
