- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. When Bede Carmody tells people he has an animal sanctuary, they're often surprised when he tells them it's not for native wildlife or dog and cat rescue, but a sanctuary for poultry. Bede invites us to reconsider the way we think about these animals and what is routinely done to them within the food production system.
Bede Carmody has been involved in social justice campaigning since the beginning of 1994 after making a new year’s resolution to stop eating animals. He actively campaigns for animal rights and human rights.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
This guy just literally make me cry
Eat a good steak before he makes you starve.
I was deeply saddened to hear of Bede's recent passing. I hope others can connect with the words he has shared here and elsewhere, and be inspired by his thoughtful compassion, his sense of justice, and the example of his life. Vale, Bede Carmody.
Bravo! This should be shown in all schools as part of educating children to understand just what animals suffer in order to feed us.
barry spurr There would be such an uproar from administrators, parents etc. it wouldn’t happen.
@@suzannesuzanadana1507 You are right. That's exactly what has happened in similar situations.
"When I thought about ending my life, it was my desire to do something on behalf of those hens that kept me going." I LOVE this statement. Finding your cause and meaning makes life worth living. So much respect for this man!
Yes
Yessssss me too the animals are the ones worth staying Alive for and fighting for.... I love you just said. I've been there. Let's keep the brave work. I actually am looking to join people who rescue then from the 🚜
Great talk, thanks for helping these abused animals and creating awareness on how abusive the meat industry is.... God bless!
Amazing. I want to hug this man !!
What an amazing person Bede Carmody is. I truly admire him for the way he cares, and for his courage in telling the world how very awful humans treat their fellow creatures. With people like this, one day there may be changes in the attitudes of people. Animals and yes plants all feel in their own way. We need to come to grips with our giant egos, and realize that we are all a part of nature on this planet and need to respect it, become a part of it. Not dominate, use and abuse it.
Isca S I wholeheartedly agree with you.
so happy to hear a topic dedicated on this subject!!!! all animals should have rights as individuals. not as human rights, but as individual's rights to not be killed or tortured
Awesome, thank you Bede Carmody! Your depth and compassion come through like a bright light! Wish more people "got it", thank you for all your work! I saw factory farm footage on nov 10 2013, it and my life changed forever. Vegan (not perfect. ) but dedicated activist.
I have tears in my eyes.
Beautiful testimony😘
So happy I am a vegan 🌱
Love this talk.
My friend Dusty, an Americana hen, fully approves of this video!
What a moving speech, so full of love and appreciation. Thank you. :)
Great video! Wonderful person!
As some others have said: the education system should be more than just tests and grades that don't apply in real life. This stuff is real life and it took me awhile to really learn just how cruel some of these industries can be. = { . .. Well done talk. We can all do better!
Thank you so much for doing this great work!
Rest in Peace Bede, may we continue your legacy of education, protection and love of these birds as companions in life.
Amazing guy, what a moving story. Thank you for sheltering and saving so many lives, and influencing others to change.
this man is a straight up boss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Appreciate You doing this for others and wherever that takes Us for the better
Omg! This is HORRIBLE! Great to know! & love your shirt! We must stop this horror! How wonderful what you are doing! 💕
Found a copy of THE JUNGLE by Upton Sinclair which was first published in 1906. What I find most shocking is how much it parallels the more recent FAST FOOD NATION by Eric Schlosser. Man's inhumanity to man and animals driven by greed and protected by the corruption of those who should be preventing it is still doing very well in our time.
However, Thank you for your efforts and your bravery.💚
Lovely! Thank you so much!
vegan right here! any more? :)
Me too. Vegan for the past 2,5 years.
Vegan for 13 years 💜
nice
Vegan for 5 years :)
here! 💚
thank you
Love you Brother !!!!!
Keep preaching the Truth !!!!!!
Oh wow, this talk is so provoking!
Thanks for voicing the pain of these fellows
That was perfect!
A very lovable human. ♥️💙
Great presentation. Very moving.
so powerful! 👑
I ❤️ you! Thank you for seeing animal’s feelings. Corona/Karma now..😞
Beautiful
A tremendous loss for this planet, humans and all animals 😢 RIP Bede
Every creature wants to live.
It is not our right to decide when and how they die.
I am very proud to be Vegan.
Always will be.🥦🍄🥑
Indian wrestlers that won gold at common wealth were both vegetarians
Your point?
Awesome
I used to believe i need chicken or meat daily. Now this video made me Thinking about to be a vegetarian...
Go vegan!
If it’s hard for you to become vegan right away, begin by being vegetarian
@@campanda1875 It's definitely hard. But maybe i just didn't try to be a vegetarian. I just can't say no to good foods. I don't know
@@Brisbaneview replace all your meats with starchy foods like potato, beans, corn, whole grains etc and have fruits and veggies on the side.
@@Brisbaneview it's not hard it's easy it's just you don't care enough
The best vegan t-shirt I've ever seen.
Go Vegan!
Wonderful speech, got me in tears. Thank you.
Be vegan.
Rest In Peace Bede, we got this now x
Did you know Kentucky Fried Chicken was made during the Great Depression 1952 and it saved america mostly? I found that interesting. Oh . . . Uh, yeah the speech honestly was amazing, im not joking this time.
i bet the world is SOOOOO glad it saved America
Stop teaching science in public schools and start teaching what really happens in the world
I agree with the last part. But... stop teaching science? Are you stupid?
Biology: Central Nervous System: the most important thing we humans have in common with all the mammals, birds and fish we confine, exploit and kill.
I’ve been looking for an animal sanctuary to take my grandson to, so that he can see that we don’t have to visit petting farms and then eat them, and all rescue places are for dogs and cats!
Let’s wake up and see the connection between animals and food. Let’s go beyond of Carnism. Going vegan is the way to save many animals lives and the Earth! 🙏🌱
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great stuff. This would make me give up eating poultry immediately if I weren’t already vegan.
Aren't there already plenty of poultry farms where they advertise chickens, ducks etc that are free range animals and that are not caged? Surely your argument is already being implemented on a large scale across the western world as I watch this video. Good ideas to make sure people know about though if they haven't heard them already. Great talk!
you missed his "idea" entirely, his idea is why do we love and cherish some animals like dogs, cats etc and are extremely callous and even cruel toward others like cattle, pigs and poultry etc? his idea isnt lets farm them better, because he doesnt want them to be killed for food at all, we dont need them for protein, we can thrive from plant based diet. all those free range places, well they are still very small scale compared to battery type farms
What comes to mind when you hear Free Range is a far cry from what can legally pass to qualify for that label. Look into it.💚
free range can mean a massive barn stacked and crowded with thousands of chickens with one small door to a small yard outside
He spoke about free range. Free Range is more about making humans feel better about how poultry are treated. The level of cruelty the birds in that system endure is still not ok.
Eggs are better if they are free range best if you can get you own chickens and let them say with you until they naturally die
those birds are still bred the same as those in cages - their lives will be shorter from mineral deficiency - they also get egg bound from artificially being bred to produce nearly 300 eggs a year - birds naturally have at most couple of clutches a year maybe 5 eggs at a time
amei o video
If you do by hens buy ex battery hens they will look terrible skinny little things past there best but if you give them a good life they will bounce back and be great
The conscientisation is a wonderful thing but this is complicated to be vegan and the other thing is, the vegan food is much expensive. People should have references on how to cook easy vegan meals. Thank you so much for your message. I wish I could help too.
hi, actually unprocessed vegan foods are the least expensive. poor countries barely eat meat. Go for grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits and nuts.
on social media you will fins tons of easy vegan recipes. you can do this. :) been doing it myself for over a year and never felt better/prouder.
You telling me that beans and grains and fruit and veggies are more expensive? Not true, veggie meat is the same price as the murdered meat... you just gotta look a Lil further
vegetables are not expensive nor are rice and pasta
❤️🙏🏻✨🌱🐷🌍🐝🐮
we do not want to eat any animal that was kept suffering or killed inhumanly, its why we contract deceases.
Thanks for knowing us the reality sir 🙏 I wish people go vegan, iam also vegetarian but I love to eat eggs but after watching this vedio I can't able to eat 😢 😞
💚✌☮🌱
People don't care. They want cheap meat. Compartmentalization, rationalization and cultural norms rule the roost.

If you're going to eat animals, don't abuse them.
They are giving their life for our life.
But if you're going to eat them, eat the shit out of them, and don't make a big deal about it.
+GODofMONSTERLAND hmmmm, i'd just like to ask you a very simple question.....................
WHAT PART OF KILLING AN ANIMAL ISN'T ABUSIVE?!?!?
+GODofMONSTERLAND They arent "giving their life", their life is taken away from them. If a someone is raped, did she "give her body" to the rapist?
Yeah, they are willingly giving their life like a person is willingly giving their money to a robber.... How about stop using that soft language and call things what they really are?
Stop eating them would be thr way to stop abusing me...
They are not ours for the taking
See Gary yourofsky
the difference between eating a chicken and eating a dog is we first have to feed chickens to the dog to create dog while chickens can live off grains and plant chaff
We are still omnivores. Respect your food be it meat or vegitation. Eat only what you need but make it truly delicious. We don't need that much protein and most meat processing wastes more resources than what it is necessary. Beware of fanatics on either side of the debate. Eat as your conscience directs but don't let greedy promoters (read - advertisers ) dictate your conscience.
We are not obligate omnivores though - i.e. we can eat animal products but don't have to. We are filtering our nutrients through the animals' bodies istead of taking them directly from plants and while doing so we are killing the animals, destroying the environment and letting millions of people die of hunger - all a direct result of a meat-centered diet. The fact is that the most optimal diet for humans is the plant-based one.
We are 100 per cent hervibores.... see Gary yourofsky, educate yourself
NOPE! Fanatics. We ARE obligate OMNIVORES. Just as cats and dogs are Obligate CARNIVORES. Anthropolgical and fossil
evidence proves this, not fanatical WOO WOO, religious driven nonsense. So are you going to persecute Native Peoples for their hunting and meat eating ways? Are you going to deny CARNIVORES their sustenance because YOU find it cruel? Educate yourselves!
You are so wrong. We are not omnivores, we are 100 per cent herbivores
@@JayVBear45 cats are obligate carnivores dogs are not - different digestive systems - our system is not set up to digest meat effectively or in the correct (short) 5hour timeframe, ours is 24 to 48 hour, hence most meat eaters have rotting flesh in their guts leading to bowel diseases - most people do not like meat they like the condiments and the "sides" they eat with them to disguise the rotting flesh/blood taste. people choose to eat meat, they do not need it. as supposedly modern and civilised peoples why are you comparing yourself to peoples that have limited choices for food? have you not evolved ethically and socially? apparently not. oh and you can tell a meat eater by their foul body odour, no matter how much they wash or use cologne they smell like colon.
I won't be eating any chicken tonight, because I just took it out of the freezer and it needs to thaw :P
I hope cik fil a chickens are all fed antibiotics
I watched this eating fish.. I guess I m ok.
there are fish that are raised the same in small containers.
The fish are not ok, they have lives too, they'd like to avoid suffering and death too. Be more compassionate.
Its the dme thing. It's not ok....
nope they also feel pain and they "drown" when they are taken out of the water. put a plastic bag over your head and see how they feel when they can't get oxygen
I think a chicken is food what will happen on November huh will they just eat salad I prefer a turkey instead of salad
There's only 2 options? Chicken flesh or salad? What kind of nonsense is that.
I hope you can del with your 😔 guilt and can grow a heart
@@zoefern2117 if he keeps eating meat of any kind he'll need a bypass - karma i say
enjoy your ill health then - probably have high blood pressure and cholesterol and are obese - candidate for heart disease and cancer - probs have diabetes too
