They’ll probably see us a monsters
And rightfully so
Not probably, definitely
This man is just amazing... What he says is the fight of my life, we have to be aware... Thank God some give a voice to those who don't have one...!
He has a different accent for the word “own”.
Very powerful talk. A compelling argument that we need to do better by animals. Thank you, TEDx!
This man speaks TRUTH. If only his message could be universally realised immediately.
I got a lot of listening to this TEDx talk. It's so easy for us to recognize the bias of past generations, but how will our descendants view us? When it comes to our treatment of animals, as this great talk points out, it's hard to imagine them looking kindly on what we did.

There will be no dependents this party is over in 10 years climate crisis is just that a crisis no escape
We as generations grow treat humans better but animals worse and worse. Our future generations won’t think any differently since. All we humans care about is our satisfaction not the animals freedom or life.
Love it and agree 100%! 🙌🏽

Great speech. But he didnt propose any solutions . I think identifying the problem is a good start. But how are we going to ensure animals are treated humanely??
Well isn’t that a bit of a contradiction, animals treated humanely lol
Go vegan! And stop eating animals, eat with what the earth has provided us.
Best thing we can do is to stop 🛑 eating animals.
It won’t happen give up
Powerful
Thank You!!!

Why so many down votes. Do people really believe that the way we treat farm animals now is good enough..
Where is that asteroid!!
Is this Ben sharpio brother
nailed
As a Druid (ya know, the religion that literally worships the concepts of nature and the universe.) I love this. As of now, I am actually battling with my father about animal rights. We have cats that he consistently calls "It" and the other day he hit one of our older cats VERY hard. He has agreed to use different practices to prevent the cat from peeing on things (such as a water squirt bottle), but he refuses to apologize and recognize his mistake.
As great as his change in practice is, unless he apologizes, it means nothing. You can't change drastically and consistently without recognizing why. I hope he can change and recognize his failure in his treatment of our cat, otherwise, I am NEVER taking to him again. How could I have someone in my life who goes against one of my core beliefs? I can't, and I won't.
Of his name my name is Tommy everybody calls me Thomas but my name is Tommy I love what y'all do I love the videos that you make if I was in any kind of shape and had the money to donate no one to God I would God bless you all for what y'all do y'all are doing God's work God bless

Great talk. I'm watching videos like this one to hopefully resolve an internal conflict that I'm currently dealing with. It's been five months since I put my old dog to sleep and to this day I keep wondering if that was truly the right thing to do by her. It's common practice in the Western world to euthanize our pets when they are old and sick. It's said that euthanasia is a loving gift and that it prevents further suffering. We have come a long way from how we used to treat animals in the past. I remember reading stories about the Klondike Gold Rush while I was living in the Yukon Territory and how horses and dogs were worked to the point of exhaustion and then discarded. There is even a valley called the Dead Horse Valley near Skagway, Alaska, where exhausted horses were left behind to die. Going back to my story about my dog, while it seemed humane and in the best interest of my dog to have her killed painlessly and swiftly, I sometimes feel like I have robbed her of precious time and also the right to experience the dying process. I have read so many stories about humans passing and it sounds like the end can be really beautiful (perhaps not in all cases) with people having visions of deceased loved ones and having a sense of peace and comfort as they approach their end. I wonder if it's the same for animals. They may not have visions of deceased loved ones, but perhaps they too go through a gradual process of coming to peace with their approaching end. I sometimes feel like I have robbed my dog of a potentially beautiful moment of transitioning, even though I had the best intentions. We have so much to learn still.
Reflecting so intensely on something that holds little significance for most shows that your choice was the best you could make under the circumstances. There is no ultimate answer, but you've attempted to tackle the unanswerable question, and for that, you deserve a tip of the hat. In my opinion, every sentient being deserves this kind of consideration.
@@rick8848 Thank you. I appreciate your response ❤️.

Chit racial is kitchen

Man the first world is great. I love how we Scorn or own wealth. The knowledge produced by animal testing is without measure. Captive animals are why we know anything about animal cognition. Additionally like cheap food factory farming is the price you pay for it. Lastly I really thought with that opening he was talking about babies in the womb. Then remembered this is a ted talk so thats not going to happen.
You are reflecting on " advantages " gained by the brutal practices we have used;
Consider these gains and unimaginable others, which we may enjoy today if we refused to utilize brutality in our ongoing development and evolution?
Wrong u r misinformed
Early fetuses do no feel pain. Animals do. What’s your point?
@@frankmedrisch7451 He has no point at all, classic whataboutism and deflection of a topic with another topic. Any civilized country in the world considers abortion a choice but not one to taken lightly nevertherless. Only superstitious religious morons are against it. Next thing he will say is that plants have feelings and the right of a brick to life
“blacks”
What will future generals think of people like this making a buck off of these videos .
Good ideas, horrible speaker. Maybe I’m just in a bad mood.
So much unconscious bias
