Congratulations, unless you are a complete idiot you are now a vegan.

I absolutely love this one, it's very powerful. Makes me wonder whether some of them stopped consuming meat afterwards.

Yeah, what volenta said. Everybody would be vegetarian if they had to watch their meat get killed.

where do people think their meat comes from? One thing that bugged me about that video was the fake laughter added to the background. Sounds like a short laughter clip repeated too many times in short order. Sounds fake.
Nonetheless, a good example of hypocrisy.

I've seen that video before, but I hadn't thought about it that way.

Absolutely, these people are idiots. I doubt any of them went vegan after, though, they just don't want to see where their meat comes from.

Weren't they using real meat for the video though? Was this actually a statement against meat or was it meat humor intended for aeat-eating audience?

I think it was the latter. When I first saw this, I just thought it was disgusting. But it's interesting to look at it from another perspective. You could probably do something like this with vegan sausages and make it a bit of an outreach method.

Hey, the outreach method is a good idea, then you could actually show people how tasty vegan sausage is. :D
