Today we are taking all the things we have learned this year about doing philosophy and applying that to moral considerations regarding non-human animals. We’ll explore what philosophers like Peter Singer and Carl Cohen have to say about their use, including the concept of equal consideration of interests.

I like the fact he said non-human animals instead of just animals

He presented the most common pro-meat-eating arguments and countered them with reason. But it seems like a lot of people in this comment section are not satisfied because it's "pro-vegan". I want to hear some solid arguments from the pro-meat-eating side that he didn't tackle because it seems to me that this video is more about being pro-reason and logic than pro-veganism

It always fascinated me how people (mainly of Western culture, which I'm a part of) lament eating dog meat in some Asian countries while discussing it over a burger. The thing that fascinates me it that most of them are so convinced and comfortable in claiming that it's something totally different, because cows are cattle and dogs are pets, and not even realizing that it's a human construct.

After watching this I understand why someone would become vegan

I love that he didn't need to mention the word "vegan" at all and the message went through so smoothly. This was perfect.

Alright. Going vegan.

Eating less meat reduces carbon footprint too!

Pigs are actually more intelligent than dogs

"opting out of rational discourse altogether" is such a great line

Being vegan is so much easier than I thought it would be. I really thought it was this scary impossible thing before I went vegan, but it turned out to be really pretty easy. I feel such a relief -- I was carrying around so much cognitive dissonance before, thinking that I was a compassionate animal lover, but still using animals as a mere means to my own ends. My only regret is that I didn't go vegan sooner!

This reminds me of a quote about a sentient horse having an opinion about its rider: (Source: Dirk Gently by Douglas Adams)

I love how educational channels are actually starting to talk about this! People need to hear this and stop being so hypocritical

@pogonoah99 7 лет назад

I'm probably going to become a vegan or a vegetarian when I go to college, or start living on my own. The arguments against meat eating are pretty solid but I don't want to be a burden to my parents by denying meat.

Im seriously considering some of my lifestyle choices now. Philosphy makes u scrutinize yourself and feel good about that even if u come out on the wrong side as it appeals to your reason instead of "pointless taking sides compatmentalism" that prevails everywhere among ppl nowadays.

I have been having problems with deciding if I should be a vegeterian/vegan for months tipping from view to view, messig with my own morals, ethics and definitions. Then this video came along and presented every part of my mental process as well as the arguments of my friend and family. It's like this entire course is the collectionof all my countless existential crisises listed, with words for everything, and all the details I was looking for. The feeling of having your thoughts confirmed, and explained throughout history. CrashCourse is awsome!

@DrFarazHarsini 4 года назад

It's very difficult to talk about these without making people emotional and sort of mad. You did an amazing job in bringing up these arguments in a way that I think if I wasn't vegan already I would have started considering it right after this video!

I... almost want to cry. To see such a big youtube empire say these things. It means so much to me.

Thank you so much for making me and so many others to think about animals. Since animals cannot speak for themselves, people should speak up for animals exploited in human society.
