Animal factories and the abuse of power: Wayne Pacelle at TEDxManhattan

www.tedxmanhattan.org/2012talks
As President and CEO of The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), Wayne Pacelle leads the nation's largest animal protection organization with 11 million members and constituents. The organization is the 155th largest charity in the United States. During his tenure, Pacelle has nearly doubled the size of the organization and, through corporate combinations with groups such as The Fund for Animals and the Doris Day Animal League, built unity and greater efficiency within the animal protection cause. He has led successful efforts to pass hundreds of new state and federal laws to protect animals, expanded The HSUS's animal care operations, and worked with dozens of corporations to enact operational changes that benefit animals. Pacelle was named one of NonProfit Times' "Executives of the Year" in 2005 for his leadership in responding to the Hurricane Katrina crisis. A graduate of Yale, he is also author of the New York Times bestseller, The Bond: Our Kinship with Animals, Our Call to Defend Them.

    I was totally on board with this until he started talking about the levels of welfare of the animals within the industry and how we should start demanding the farming of animals who somehow have a "better life". Who are we to determine how happy an animal is to be slaughtered? Once again people are getting this wrong. Buying meat or dairy that is "free-range" and "grass fed" means absolutely nothing to the animal. That only satisfies YOU, not the animal. The animal is still killed and the environment of the world and the people in it still suffer.

    what an idiotic interpretation of the speaker's message. he did NOT even imply anything about the emotional state of an animal being slaughtered other than placing that obviously "one bad day" (just as OUR last day would be a bad day) as a very reduced ratio to the normalcy and happiness in a more natural living space environment which for example a traditional family farm provides to animals. We -humans and animals- ALL die , but it's the QUALITY of life ,over a long drawn out miserable existence ,which should be prioritized.

    The answer to showing other animals the respect they deserve is not to treat them better whilst we exploit them in farming etc. If they are are worthy of moral consideration then we shouldn't be using them at all. Going vegan is not hard. The dairy industry was the disgusting industry that opened my eyes to what we are doing to other animals on this planet. This planet is not here for us.

    While I appreciate the move this talk is pushing towards, it's hypocritical for anyone to say, "I believe animals have rights, but not the most basic rights to bodily autonomy and life." When members of the animal rights movement tell people, "It's okay to continue eating meat, just make sure it's the right kind," they ignore the primary objection we should all hold- that it's wrong to exploit other animals. This video is a nice foot in the door for discussing animal rights, but the most effective way of helping animals will be encouraging everyone to go vegan (even if it's baby steps, like shown in the video). Overall, it was worth watching, though.

    There's an obvious disconnect in logic here. You just can't claim that we should think about an animal's welfare on an individual level, then still advocate for the commercialization and objectification of their bodies. You can't have respect for an individual all the while plotting to slaughter them as soon as they hit the "most meat per cost of keeping it alive" mark. Also, even if you don't believe it's unethical to treat animals in horrible ways, animal agriculture is not sustainable. We can't sustain the population of almost 8 billion and growing with meat, whether or not the animal suffered just a little or a whole lot.

    The trouble with these more compassionate systems and I would argue that no system where animals are eaten or confined is acceptable is that they cost money and the meat industry has some of the strongest lobbyists who know where the bodies are buried and can get these proposals junked before they even get a chance. Sadly money comes above compassion for too many.

A person on the Internet says that even Vegans contribute to the suffering and deaths of countless animals!? How can this be?! As a part-time farmer even I can attest to the countless animals my plow and harvesting equipment has sadly suffocated crushed, impaled and cut to pieces as I go through the fields. All of the fields I have worked on have been organic. So let’s discuss then the pesticides and herbicide used on most conventional crops; which kill off the bio diversity of our planet and create inhospitable environments for many animal species and has been a Huge contributing Factor in the decline of our honey bee populations worldwide. Let’s not also forget to discuss the clearing of forest to make way for cereal crops and other plant-based food stuffs all which contribute to the destruction of animal habitat and territory and out right suffering and killing of many animals.

    We are not carnivores. We don’t eat the anus, nose, brains, tongue, genitals and intestines. We have to heat meat up to ingest it, what other carnivores selectively eat meat like humans? Our intestines are the same length as every vegetable eating sentient being (30+ feet long) unlike carnivores (15-20 feet long) because their bodies have evolved to push it out faster. We can move our jaws side to side like every vegetable eating being. Carnivores can only move their jaws up and down. What other sentient being drinks milk outside of its own species let alone past adolescence? It doesn’t naturally exist! You think eating meat is natural then please point me in the direction where the lions have zebras in a meat processing facilities. Get it through your thick skull that we are not meant to digest meat. Look at the health statistics of meat eaters vs. vegetarians vs. vegans. Do your own research and pull the veil that has been placed over your eyes. I guarantee if you met me you wouldn’t know I was vegan based on looks and conversation.

    I worked under them at Black Beauty Ranch. Unfortunately they do not follow their own teachings. There was a vet and vet tech who worked at BBR and they were quite inhumane with some of their practices. Funny how the pot is calling the kettle black. I watched a horse there die inhumanely. They brushed it off and said that they needed to do what they did and that the horse dying at the expense of their actions was apart of protocols.

I want to add the following to you saying that cockfighting is illegal everywhere in the US: it still goes on anyway in under the radar fighting rings; and secondly, breeding fighting cocks isn't illegal. So what the breeders do here is breed them and then transport them to a place like the Phillipines, to fight them and sell them there. Andits big bucks, too. You can count on three things in a Filipino town: a Catholic Church, a town hall, and a cockfighting ring,

    @BiancaBeth Euthanization is unfortunately necessary. As much as I hate it it is a humane way to deal with the problem of dog overpopulation. Between 9,000 and 10,000 dogs have to be euthanized every single day in America. Where do you want to store all these dogs? You'd have to create huge warehouses of nothing but cages. Cages stacked on top of each other to the ceiling and everyday you'd have to figure out how to store another 9,000+. Some situations in life are actually worse than death.

    The comments for this video are deeply upsetting and problematic. The people that bash this video are who hold back the animal rights/welfare movement from reaching and interesting omnivores. And omnivores are exactly who need to be reached. This rational and thoughtful speech includes meat eaters in the fight for animal rights. Starting with animal welfare. It allows meat eaters to see how they can help. Many meat eaters hate the way animals are treated in factory farms- but all they ever are told is that in order to help stop it- they have to go vegan. that's all you ever hear- go vegan, go vegan, go vegan. So instead of finding ways to help the movement- they just repress it because you will NEVER stop all humans from eating meat. And you sure as hell wont get them to overnight. Those that spit at meat eaters are the reason that omnivores hate and reject any form of aid in the movement. You will never get all humans to stop eating meat. More may turn vegetarian or vegan, but all humans will not. The fight- is for equal rights- government and law protection so that regardless of those that eat meat, and those that don't care- the animals still have proper care and rights. And each law for animal welfare inches animals closer and closer to rights. Each new law and regulation changes the attitude and platform for future changes. It changes the wordage in the laws themselves to allow animals to be seen as worthy or rights- by way of recognizing that they have basic needs that must be met- and they have suffering that must be acknowledged. To believe you will make every single human stop eating meat- is ridiculous. And when an omnivore hears you talk like that- they turn away from everything youre standing for. If the omnivores were fully on board of animal welfare- we could be looking at a society in the not too distant future where all animals are free range. truly free range. And yes- killed and eaten at the end of their happy lives. But you wont stop meat consumption- so do you not see how important it is to create a balanced and healthy way of supplying that consumption? Cant you see that these animals suffering right now need you to stop bullying people and stop spitting on people- they need you to get them out of their cages, they need you to help them live as healthy and normal as possible. You will lead more people to see the light of your choices- if you stop shoving your hate in their faces. Work with them and they will work with you. Veganism can, and more than likely will- grow. Vegetarianism will grow. As a society- as a whole- it will grow- as we slowly learn to see the welfare of animals as important- and once we start to see that- once the law actually tells us its important- the human animal can start to look at the non human animal as equal. Animal rights start with animal welfare. It starts with showing people- look- look and see that this is suffering. And they begin to understand what suffering means. THis is how a world changes. Its not overnight- its not everyone drops everything and completely changes all at once. Teach people whats going on. Be a voice- show people whats happening- and show them how they can help- no matter what diet they have, no matter what type of lifestyle they have. Nothing gets accomplished any other way.

    Vegans need to listen to the actual message and not criticize. It is true that if everyone go vegan, it would be 100% better for the animals. Yes, it would not cause any animal suffering if everyone switches their life style vegan. But not everyone can go vegan, and not everyone cares enough to go vegan. The majority of the population has been raised to be omnivore. The extreme switch to vegan would be almost impossible for some; while others can totally switch to vegan. And again, not everyone is willing to go vegan. What Wayne Pacelle suggests is the next small step to help the animals. If everyone can do the no meat Mondays, then there would be less slaughtering/breeding. There need to be more vegan product available in America. There's cultural differences too. For example, I grew up in Asia. I didn't eat cow cheese or drink cow milk. But with Western influences nowadays, there are cheese and milk in Asia now. America might want to adopt coconut milk from Asia, or Banana milk instead for children. Animal cruelty need to be educated in schools too, if not at home or in religious sessions. You need to look at successful vegan diets culturally. India has a very successful vegan/vegetarian culture (food wise, many Indian families only eat vegan food).

    I agree that this is a small step towards the overall goal of ending slaughterhouses all together, however we have ran out of time to take such small steps towards progress. All this method would greatly reduce the suffering of the animals involved, it could only increase the environmental impact that animal agriculture has on the planet. This is a step forward in one direction and a step back in another. The solution is so simple, and we're quickly running out of time to reverse the negative impact. We're at a point now where we can't take baby steps like this, we need to run.

    The issue isn't whether it should be illegal (although I see no reason why that could never work). The issue is whether the human species could survive without eating meat. There's no reason to think it couldn't, just like there is no reason to think we couldn't survive without slavery. To say that it would be difficult to eliminate it completely doesn't mean the same thing as to say it is *impossible*. The latter implies we shouldn't even try.

    So you think vegans are guiltless of animal cruelty and death. I will have you know that is a part-time farmer I have sadly watch over my shoulder as my plow turns under countless animals ; suffocating and crushing them. This was in an organic soy field. But let me talk about the pesticides and herbicides that your food also add to the misery and suffering of animals by. How about the monocultures of food which creates inhospitable territory for animals of all kinds and has been a large contributing factor in the decline of the beep populations worldwide. And how about the combines another harvesting equipment that kill more animals? Think about these dead p, dying and suffering animals as you smugly drink your soy lattes and eat your tofu burgers.

    He's pretty much saying for these animals to have a nice death. Any death with a murderer and a victim is not a nice death. I bet he knows what the actual solution is but just doesn't want to say it. If everyone were to go vegan, and do it right, here would be the side effects: health weight loss or gain(if that's your goal), little to no chronic illness(while you're young or old), environment improves drastically(including cleaner water, no deforestation, no rising sea levels, and cleaner air), and no wildlife or any species going extinct.

Watch the male chicks suffucate or throw them away into the grinder cause even if the hens are kept cage free dosen't stop other behind the seens actions with the male chicks. I have been vegan for two months and got sucked into humanily raised bull untill I went to a local farm to see cows humainly raised and buy meat there but it helped me become vegan.

    Although Halal/ Kosher style slaughter IS EXTREMELY CRUEL. There are extremely humane ways to kill animals. The ‘bolt to the head’ for instance, used to kill larger animals such as cattle and pigs, when done correctly, effectively destroys the brain of the animal before pain signals can reach the brain. They are brain dead before they can even feel the pain of their own death blow. Next time you smugly drink your soy latte and eat your tofu burgers, perhaps you should spend a moment to contemplate the animal deaths caused by your food lifestyle. What’s that?! A person on the Internet says that even Vegans contribute to the suffering and deaths of countless animals!? How can this be?! As a part-time farmer even I can attest to the countless animals my plow and harvesting equipment has sadly suffocated crushed, impaled and cut to pieces as I go through the fields. All of the fields I have worked on have been organic. So let’s discuss then the pesticides and herbicide used on most conventional crops; which kill off the bio diversity of our planet and create inhospitable environments for many animal species and has been a Huge contributing Factor in the decline of our honey bee populations worldwide. Let’s not also forget to discuss the clearing of forest to make way for cereal crops and other plant-based food stuffs all which contribute to the destruction of animal habitat and territory and out right suffering and killing of many animals. I raise my own chickens for eggs and eventually will raise meat birds. By all means they will live a good life, will live out there natural life span before they are killed humanely and eaten in their entirety. Homesteaders who raise a small number of animals can and due in large part displace the cruelty of industrial animal farming.

    I'll explain as simple as possible why we humans should be vegan. 1. Animal products cannot be obtained without cruelty. They are all sentient beings who love to live. We should share this wonderful planet with them all. 2. There is absolutely no NECESSITY to eat any meat. All the nutrients we want, it's available in plants. Even your precious fucking proteins and vitamins. I'm talking to you, corpse muncher. 3. Tasty, juicy, crunchy, fibrous. You crave your food that way and that's why you eat meat? Veggies got you covered there as well. Just look better. I'm 25 years old. Fit and healthy. Active all of the time I'm awake. 3d artist. Drummer. Biker. Vegetarian since birth. Recently went fully vegan. (I've tasted meat. Tastes good. Not worth it. I value morality and compassion much much more.) NO NEED FOR MEAT, PEOPLE. Let's live and let all animals live peaceful, healthy, happy lives on this planet of plenty. Peace \ /
