🔴️ VIL3: The Why & How of Animal Rights & Veganism (Live Discussion)
Channel: Jeremy The Ape
Date: 12/04/2021

What does it mean to respect our fellow animals? 🤔

In this Vegan Interactions Live, Chris and I will be exploring the why and how of veganism and animal rights.  We will also talk about Chris's 'Woeigo' initiative, which is a powerful tool designed to connect us with our passion so that we can find new ways to do our part in creating a better world.

Thank you everyone who joined us.  Here's a summary of what we discussed:

0:00 Intro 
0:51 Chris's Woeigo initiative 'Optimizing how we all do good'
8:09 Chris's story (Start of AR discussion)
15:53 Is taste a moral justification?

17:10 The role speciesism plays 
18:50 where do you draw the line? (Animals vs sentience)
20:31 Should we decide who has moral value based on cognitive abilities?
21:20 Relationship between antinatalism and veganism

24:05 Human starvation and relation to AR 
25:09 'Feed' conversion ratios
34:58 Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (Chat resumes after brief tech-inspired break)
35:20 When we use our fellow animals, do we violate their rights?

36:10 Treatment vs use 
37:10 Are most people against suffering? (Animal welfare discussion)
41:00 Is it morally wrong to breed our fellow animals?
42:49 Is consent morally important?

44:07 Synthetic 'lab meat' 
46:45 Would you live vegan if you could?
49:13 Do vegans alienate non-vegans?
1:00:48 Is taste relevant to morality?

1:09:00 Societal barriers to veganism 
1:10:10 What about insects? (Is proving sentience essential?)
1:12:48 Who's being 'forced'?
1:13:54 Are humans the top of the 'food chain'?

1:15:29 If more humans respected our fellow animals are we more likely to respect each other? 
1:16:33 Do we need more time in our lives to address moral questions?
1:17:21 Animal rights and the homeless
1:19:25 Does living vegan take more time?
1:22:07 Closing thoughts

Help us to evolve these ideas by sharing it with a fellow animal advocates or someone who's interested in learning more about veganism 📲️

We will share/discuss as many of your comments as we can, so please let us know what you think throughout the show 👍

I recently 'met' someone through the comment thread of one of my videos who is not vegan.  We had an interesting exchange about the relationship humans have with our fellow animals.  I suggested it would be easier for us to explore these ideas through a livestream and they were kind enough to accept my invitation.

Similar to a conversation on the street neither of us really knows where the discussion will go.  The whole idea is for both of us to explore these ideas together.

It will also be an opportunity for animal advocates to reflect on our approach to outreach, which I know I've been missing quite a bit since the coming of the apocalypse and inability to have live conversations on the street.
