Weird how vegans are shamed and treated like weirdos or like they are part of some crazy cult when in reality they're the ones whos actually putting an effort in saving the planet. They deserves far more credit for the will power that is needed in order to do what they're doing!
Edit: I’ve changed my mind. After being vegetarian for over 4 years and vegan for 1 year I felt so tired, low energy and sick. My blood test showed low iron. So I went back to a balanced diet with animal products 2 years ago and felt better right away. I no longer drink coffee and have energy all day. If you’re vegan then good for you, but it doesn’t work for everyone. My health is more important to me.
+asema ainy If you feel as though you have to eat meat/dairy etc, you should atleast not disrespect the ones who don't!
they are treated like this because many vegans feel its their duty to spread their veganism. They want others think exactly the way they do cause they think they are educated (after reading a few topic-related books), right and perfect in every human way possible. This is what makes them seem weirdos. vegans think they will live up to 100yesrs but who knows?- there are many other factors we cant avoid but they shorten our lives day by day. Veganism will save us? -Now tell me how to keep farming grounds full of minerals needed for growing plants, and yess chemicals too
+asema ainy I respect anyones choices but that also means they should respect mine too without telling me what is right and what is wrong and stop deciding for me
Vitaliy Zh62 Regarding what you're saying about vegans wanting everyone to think the same way as them, you seriously have to realize that the same thing goes for non-vegans.
I'm not a vegan myself, but I'm however a vegetarian. I can only talk for myself, but I personally never talk badly others eating habits unless they start criticizing my lifestyle to my face first. If they say what I do is weird or unnecessary, I'll of course criticize their lifestyle as well.
The thing is most non-vegans feel like they are above everyone else and entitled to their judgmental opinion just because they are in the majority. Which is absolutely ridiculous.
I do agree with you about how mutual respect for each other is important though.
+Vitaliy Zh62 respect is important, but when your personal choices include "someone" an animal's life. It isn't personal anymore.. did you watch the documentary. Much love to you and the planet
I went vegan exactly one year ago, after i had first seen this movie..and i just came back to this trailer, because i wanted to watch the film again.
It's unbelievable how much going vegan has changed my life over the past year.
I always thought it was hard to give up such things as meat and dairy, but it's been the best decision i've made so far!
The hardest thing about going vegan is neither giving up meat, nor having to explain yourself over and over again -
It's making up your mind and just starting to cut out all those nasty foods!
But when you finally get to that point, where you just stop buying animal products and start eating cruelty-free, that's where it becomes the easiest thing you've ever done.
+Nadia G. I hope you're right. I've just watched this movie and are beginning today to change my diet. The hardest part I think will be to change my shopping routines. Buy milk? - nah, settle with water instead! Buy bacon?- Nah, go ahead and have this broccoli. I will fight as hell to get rid of this meat addiction I have. I feel unsettled and hungry when I have eaten food without meat protein in it. I think I have to give it a month or something at first where I reward myself every weekend with a hamburger friday or saturday. My goal is to have a plant based diet where I no longer crave meat every day of the year.
+Chrys ”Redtir” Grujevsky Thanks man! I am doing this because it's the only right thing to do. It's that simple. I finally ran out of excuses for my meat based diet with this documentary. I've known about what's being mentioned in this documentary for a long time but have found small excuses to continue to buy meat. It's like with any addiction I guess. And people also find small excuses to continue with their addictions like I did for a long time. Also people's bodies change a lot when they get rid of addictions. I'm definitely not comparing meat with an alcohol or cigarette addiction. But it's not certain that you will feel that great when you initially try to change something that your body craves in a way. I think heroin is dangerous to stop using completely at once because your body crave it (might have to fact check me on that one). But what ever works! I'm glad the "on/off" method worked for you.
+Henrik Lockström Well i changed my diet over night as well..it's been a decision of 2 seconds and the next day i threw out all the meat and dairy (well I didn't literally throw it out.. i gave it to my neighbour)
and yeah it's really not that hard..and I think it's easier to cut it out all at once cause you may never get rid of the temptation to keep on eating meat 'for just one more day'
..and btw where i live i can save so much money by just buying fruit instead of meat..so it's been over all an awesome decision
+Henrik Lockström and please excuse my grammar..i tried ti write this on my phone, which is currently kinda broken
Nadia G. I didn't notice anything wrong with your grammar haha. So you're excused ;) Thanks for your tips!
This film has changed my life
This film showed me there is no reality any more its all science which The evolution Theory has been proven wrong now with the advancement of computer programs. Your theroy will also be proven wrong!
mine as well
Every person on this planet needs to watch this amazing documentary. Before its to late.
I agree with you.
+Ryan Pineda Could you please give me the name of the complete documentary of the clip above?
I only find this short clip :/ Im unsure of the nameon the full doc ..
I wanted to share the complete documentary, as some "friends" punk other people for being vegan or vegetarian.
And i thought this might be the perfect way to fire back, but i need to see it myself first.. :)
+viking woman Its no Netflix Cowspiriacy.
+RTD RD Tha Vegan It's on Netflix, the first month of Netflix is always free. So technically you can watch it for free.
+Ryan Pineda What will hapen if it's too late?
I dont think people completely understand, not everyone has to be full vegan 24/7, I mean they can if they want, I am. But if everyone who eats meat went three or four days a week without any, or meat just on weekends, then even that would make a huge positive difference
I like your view on things. I am not or do not claim to be vegan, however I recently cut my meat intake significantly, going most days without any at all. I do not wish to be a vegan but I find it unnecessary to eat meat ALL the time and agree that little steps will help massively.
Daniel Paul exactly, if everyone had a diet similar to yours, then that would more or less save the planet, of course people can eat as much of anything as they want, but I dont think people need to go vegan overnight, just change in diet
Meaning, you'll rather see global warming get worse than not eat meat? It is one of the easiest things you can do to do your bit towards decreasing climate change
+Nirav That right there is an interesting story. We are omnivores by construction, I wish to embrace that. I don't eat a lot of meat so get off your high horse and simmer down son.
On top of that, some of the healthiest diets worldwide (the mediterranean one included) include dairy and white meat a couple of times/week and red meat once/10 days. All those enviromentals problems come from farming factory meat, which is used by fast food chains and supermarkets.
right now I'm a vegetarian but when I move outta my parents house (I'm 16) I'm gonna be full time vegan
I'm literally in the same situation. Age and everything
I was in the same situation when I was sixteen (I'm now 17) and I attempted to wait to become vegan but, before I knew it I was Vegan and loving it! I hope that your parents are understanding and support your decision :)
Tegan Watson they're like in the middle they keep trying to make me eat fish and making smart remarks about my decision but I really don't care
kai kai My parents are used to the fact that I don't eat meat anymore. But the rest of my family are like: "Try this meat dish I made, maybe you'll like it and you'll change your mind. You know eating a little bit won't hurt anyone" -_-
elizabeth foxword yeah when my parents make meat dishes they joke about me eating it and stuff and honeslty it pisses me off but, hopfully it wont be awkward on thanks giving since literally every dish my grandma makes has meat in it also I'm black so they make ignorant comments on how "black people eat meat" and stuff...cant wait till I move out ...lol smh
I made my meat-eating parents watch this with me. My mother just got frustrated and yelled "but we need meat to survive" even though I've been meat free for 6 years now and I'm clearly still fucking alive (and much healthier than when I ate meat).... And so she stopped watching and left the room.
And the main thing my father said was "the real problem in the world is overpopulation, not livestock" and when that was addressed in the documentary he was silent and had nothing to say.
The most disturbing part for me though was that my parents were both commenting on how cute the pigs and cows were and they both turned away in disgust when the ducks were slaughtered.... BUT A FEW FUCKING MINUTES LATER THEY ORDERED CHICKEN WINGS AND PORK?????? People who cannot kill animals for food themselves let alone just watch it happen on tv shouldn't be eating meat.
Children need meat
That, my friend, is due to food manipulation for years. If you notice closely, we don't eat "pigs". We eat "Pork". We don't eat "cows". We eat "Beaf". Many searchers have proved that, the human brain uses different words in order to differentiate two different categories, therefore not feeling the same for one or another. That's why they started using different words, in order to make us numb and unconscious towards what we're actually doing.
Stonecold Parkin no they don’t... there’s nothing in meat that can’t be found in plants
@@mollyoxy protein
@@mollyoxy dude my cousin was a vegan as a child he died at age 8
The U.N. recently advocated a vegan diet for environmental sustainability. The U.N. Thanks to these brave film makers for this film, which is well made, and brings out not only the importance of the environmental impact, the the humanitarian concerns as well. Thank so much!
Why don't you all move to your own Island and live the way you want to

HOW much pollution does a 747 make when it's importing that plant sludge?
@@theantiveganchannel3596 way lesser than animal husbandry and poultry farming does
I'm not a vegan but there are just facts bruh
People that comment on this without seeing the movie should see it first and comment after. I've been a vegan since I viewed it 3 months ago. And I will stay vegan the rest of my life! I want to wish all you people that are right now becoming vegan the best, you can do it it's a great healthy lifestyle. /peace
+Acekorv That's awesome. Well done for having the courage for matching your lifestyle to your values, while giving the Earth and all it's inhabitants a chance.
+Acekorv I haven't eaten one fiber of meat since I saw this movie over an hour ago.
+Acekorv Earthlings is another documentary that can turn you into a vegan or vegeterian over a night.
I haven't seen this documentary yet, but I feel like this is the best time to be vegan as there are so many vegan products and food and more to come! But where I live, doesn't really sell any vegan products here. Like there are literally NONE. NOTHING. I'm sure there are some vegan restaurants..but very little. It's hard to be vegan here. I'm not vegan but I would like to try!
(Sorry if my grammar is very terrible)
+MySweetieCupcakes Vegetables, pulses, fruit and nuts are vegan. You can get that anywhere.
Here are some facts
80% of corn grown in the USA is fed to animals to produce meat. 95% of oats, 87% of all agriculture land is dedicated to support and produce meat. 1/2 of all the water used in the US for agriculture is used for meat production. It takes 5000 gal of water to produce 1 Ib. Of meat By the way meat includes beef, chicken, lamb, pork . All animal flesh contains fat, cholesterol and no fiber.
It only takes 25 gal of water to produce 1 Ib. Of grain.
Fact if the USA just used 1/2 the land mass used to grow feed for meat to grow grain it could feed the WORLD.
I won't go into global warming and the major cause (beef) do a Google search about the amount of methane gas produced by cattle, more carbon monoxide than all the vehicles and planes that exist.
I am not advocating that you stop eating meat, . All I am advocating if people want to be healthy and active long into their advanced years and vastly reduce the incidence of cancer and heart disease change to a whole food plant based diet and save the planet while you are at it.
Why don't you advocate that people stop eating meat, when that can save the planet? Is it only the young who are courageous enough to take a stand?
Merle Lefkoff
If you are suggesting that people become vegans and live on a plant based diet for the sake of the planet, probably because most poeple do not believe it is true or care. However if you suggest that people eat only grass fed free range animals, that might help because the true cost of the animal flesh would elimate many from that culinary fare. If the truth were known, we as humans are not meat eaters and eating meat causes nearly all the major ailments we now are faced with. If you truly want vibrant health and a long life do as the longest living animals do. Eat only plants!
Your FACTS are laughable at best. 80% of corn is NOT FED to animals bozo. Do you even know how much corn is used today? If you did, you wouldn't make such a lame statement with a straight face. Corn is in everything even gasoline. Are you suggesting that 20% of corn is all that is used to produce all of the products that use corn? Do you even know all of the chemicals that are derived from corn? Or all of the products that use corn to some degree? 3 out of every 4 grocery items you buy use corn. Think about that for a moment. Food items too numerous to list, aspirin, shampoos, toothpaste, glues, gasoline, cologne, vitamins, vegetable oils, vanilla extract, baking soda, plastic bottles, (Yep that water you drink is contained in a plastic bottle which has corn in it.) paper products use starch made from corn, spark plugs use corn starch in making the porcelain used on spark plugs, paint and varnish, maltodextrin is sprayed on instant coffee and tea, Corncobs, when finely ground, are relatively dust free and very absorbent. This absorbency makes corncobs useful carriers for pesticides, fertilizers, vitamins, hand soaps, cosmetics and animal litters. - See more at: www.glutenfreesociety.org/gluten-free-society-blog/hidden-corn-based-ingredients/
Anyway, with just a few minutes of reading you will see how it is IMPOSSIBLE to feed 80% of all corn produced to animals. But don't let real facts get in the way of a nice propaganda piece.
Keith Tauber you are right kieth I miss spoke that 80% of corn is fed to animals I should have stated that 80% of corn production goes into the production of animals used for food. that would include the transportation, energy production etc. Also thank you for calling me a Bozo I would much rather be a clown who makes other laugh than a jerk who just get off calling others names.
Kevin Steigner
That is true, sorry for the bozo comment. I just get tired of all the misinformation and propaganda being spewed sometimes. I get we are all passionate about this stuff. Thanks for helping me to see that.
watch this movie then watch Forks Over Knives then finally watch Earthlings. After watching all 3 documentaries your mind will transform ;)

LOL
I'm a vegeterian for almost 8 years. I was considering going vegan and I think I'm going to do it. I'm ready
good luck for that.
plants are missing over 50 nutrients only found in animals (bcs they are animal nutrients) and humans have a VERY carnivorous digestive tract. 91-98% of plant matter we eat, comes out the other end as waste. Plants in the diet of humans is the cause of human methane emissions. (as well as all other digestive issues)
cant link sources w/o getting comment auto-shadowbanned.
@Madeleine Marceau never said that humans are not omnivores. But so are cows and sheep and wolves. All animals are omnivores. That doesn't say anything about what they specialize on eating.
I said that we are highly carnivorous animals. That our entire digestive tract is carnivorous. That doesn't mean we are not omnivores. I don't think you fully understand the definitions...
And who said anything about torturing animals? There doesn't have to be any animal suffering involved to eat animal foods. Plus foods such as oysters/mussles don't even have a brain or nervous system.. they are like mushroom and have most of the animal nutrients. Yet your religion... veganism forbids it. (without a single valid argument why)
There is a lot of concrete un-debunkable evidence that humans are carnivorous animals.
1. Our stomach ph acidity is 1.5 like dogs and cats
2. We have the largest small intestine and the smallest colon of all primates. (the small intestine cant digest ANY plant matter other than juices) And our colon can only digest 2-9% of fiber. The rest goes out as waste undigested.
3. We have a small gut(belly) and large brain, the characteristic of all hypercarnivores like wolves and lions. (look at pics) Whereas all herbivorous/frugivorous animals have a large gut and small brain relative to size.
4. Unlike herbivorous animals, our pancreas produces no enzymes for the breakdown of fiber/cellulose.
5. Our intestine is also acidic
6. Our intestines and saliva is 95% putrefactive bacteria which are all about digesting animal protein and fats........
7. We have a gallbladder which is all about digesting large amounts of fat. (which at the very least proves humans are not meant to be strict vegetarians)
And like I said.. plants are missing MORE than 50 nutrients only found in animals.
And you are going to have the argument that they are not essential and that we can convert them. However I have all the sources for debunking each claim for each nutrient you claim we can convert in sufficient amounts.
How long you'll last as a strict vegetarian depends on genetics, stored nutrients in liver/fat, your bone density, your muscle mass, your lifestyle (sedentary or athlete), your gut microbiome.
@Madeleine Marceau You've a hard time accepting that you've been fooled and even brainwashed your entire life. Obviously. This applies to everyone who is wrong about anything. So subconsciously you reject anything that goes against your core beliefs.
When you first go vegan, you reverse insulin resistance and allow your body to eat itself.
If you don't get 50+ nutrients, where does you body gonna get it from? (considering studies prove humans cant convert the plant nutrients into the animal nutrients anywhere near the required amounts)
I'm assuming you experienced the benefits of veganism with your own body, so how can it not be real?? but realize that we cannot avoid eating RAW MEAT. Every single time we sleep(or don't eat anything for 5 hours) we go into a state of fasting.
Fasting = Autophagy = Myself + Eat = self cannibalism.
You cant avoid eating raw meat. It's literally impossible. Which means there is no such thing as a "strict vegetarian". Because your entire body is LITERALLY made out of animal nutrients.
So you can survive for quite a while... but that has nothing to do with optimal perfect health. If you've never tried the ideal human diet, then how can you possibly understand what you've been missing? It's not possible.
You don't know how much better you could feel and how much more clarity, energy, and strength you could have if only you followed the primal diet by Aajonus Vonderplanitz.
And yes, all animals are omnivores, you can confirm this with your own eyes. Watch a video called "Herbivores Eating Meat Compilation - All animals are omnivores - The Vegan Nightmare"
As well as "OUR GUT: Unlike The Other Great Apes, SPECIALIZED for Eating Meat, Not Plants" and this explains what I was saying about omnivores/carnivores/digestive tracts/stomach acidity/ etc etc
I never said that our digestive system cannot digest ANY plant matter. How many times do I have to repeat myself? It's apparent that you're not well mentally.
And why would all nutrients be found in plants? are you saying that plants require animal nutrients?? How ignorant is this claim.
And we don't have to pay anyone to torture animals to get animal foods. I simply have my own regenerative animal farm. And buy from small local farmers who I know and don't mistreat their animals. You sound like someone who doesn't have a clue what you're talking about. You've seen too many vegan animal torture videos.
I'm completely against animal factories myself... so your claims are just ignorant. Are you claiming that the only way to get animal foods is from animal factories??
And lastly... can you give me a single nutrient found in pasture-raised organic raw meat (or wild meat) which is unhealthy? How can meat be unhealthy, even tho we are literally made out of it and eat it every single day via fasting? You make these bold claims, but it's all coming from beliefs. You need to work on becoming a little more rational dear.
And it's okay to lose an argument, don't feel bad about it. It gives you the opportunity to improve.

Evelina Stankevičiūtė thank u very much! I will share it too!
:) you're welcome my friend :D
+Mariah Monique i love this movie, but i don't wanna be a vegan :D
+Amaru Sun Bey :D calm down dude, being a vegan it's the only choice? sorry it's not. there's many way to save this planet, to love the animals. if you being a vegan, please be it. i respect that. i just choose the other way.
I've been a vegetarian for seven years. I have recently watched Cowspiracy and stumbled across Gary Yourofsky's videos, and have decided to go vegan (it's been three days now). I was naive to think eggs and milk were fine, but it's not, an animal is still being hurt whether it's being murdered or not. It's hard don't get me wrong, but I know that when you're dedicated to something, the dedication opens up a whole lot of accessibility, and that's powerful. Most people have told me that being vegan is unhealthy, I'm going to be unhappy, I'll become green (lmao), and that I'm still a murderer as I eat plants. What I'm basically trying to say is, to anyone who thinks veganism is hard; it's not. The hard part about veganism is having to deal with meat eaters' constant judging comments. DON'T LISTEN TO THEM, BECOME VEGAN, EMBRACE LIFE, SAVE THE PLANET AND THE ANIMALS! ♥
YOU people believe in slaughtering babies but not animals your minds are taken over by demonic spirits
Veganism is the future. We either adapt, or perish together as fools.
Kill all the cows! Let their corpses rot on the grasslands and serve as a warning to the survivor bovine- No more water wastage! No more CO2! We stand for the oceans, we stand for the air, we stand for the EARTH.
You are joining two separate issues. It's not about meat eaters vs vegans. It's about the poor livestock and water management practices being led by both factory farms and the larger majority of agriculture, even organic agriculture is a joke. Monocropping and poor animal/water management is what made most of the deserts on this planet. Holistic Grazing is how we regenerate grasslands and ecosystems.
Oliver Hart "Monocropping and poor animal/water management is what made most of the deserts on this planet". Please post a link for all of us unlearned folk can read about this "theory" Hmm, I wonder how the deserts in the middle east got started way back in Biblical days? I wonder why on Earth we have places called the tropics that grow tons of foliage and plants? Maybe they are not allowing any mean and nasty cattle to be farmed there that's why? hahahaha. Did it dawn on you that perhaps, it could be related to the climate that it is in and how much rainfall it gets each year? Nah, it must be the farmers raising cattle that is creating deserts.....hahahaha. My side is hurting haha. I guess Abraham must have raised millions of cattle in tight spaces 3,000 years ago and so poorly managed that flock that it caused the Earth to suddenly stop raining like it once did and now only a few inches per year there and over time the Sahara desert popped up. I wonder why S. Florida gets so much rain? I see a lot of cattle free ranging all over the place on land down here....Hmmm. Should we expect a desert in Florida anytime soon too?
Thanks for making meat cheaper
Nah, it's bugs and lab grown meat. Bugs for the poor, lab grown meat for the rich probably.
i watched this documentary two years ago, and the day after watching it i started a vegan diet. It's been two years now with a healthy vegan lifestyle!
It makes me feel so good because i'm doing my best to reduce this climate crisis and animal suffering! It's definitely a good feeling and 100% recommend it!
Thank you so much to the creators of this film, it helped a lot of people to open their eyes and see the truth!
tell us how you digest the plants when you don't have a fermentation chamber? if you want to talk about a climate crisis lets talk about the 747's using 65,000 gallons of fuel to bring you [insert a plant name here]

No you dont need a lecture just read the news.
People are evil except when they acknowledge and work to rise up to higher levels by awareness.
I watched the film. It was quite convincing. Even if you disagree with it there's many other reasons (ethical, health-related) to go vegan or vegetarian. It's something you can't really go wrong with.
I haven't watched the movie. Is it very cruel? I'm rather sensitive. I am already vegetarian though, because I saw a documentary on how fish were treated by fishermen and ethically I found that so disgusting. To literally treat an animal as an object is simply wrong. However, now I am into documentaries that go further, but I'm too afraid I might have a panic attack just looking at them. - I can btw understand if that sounds funny, but I'm actually not joking, my empathic skills are extremely well-developed and it is way too easy for me to feel another animal's pain (whether human or not).

This is an absolutely brilliant movie. I was shaking by the end of it, consumed with a passionate need for others to see this, educate themselves and look toward eating faux meats and a plant based diet. Our planet is dying people, this is real. Please watch this movie and share with all you know. This movie has the power to change the world.
I went vegan after watching this documentary and I have been vegan for 5 years! I honestly feel happier and healthier without any meat or animal products and I have gotten so many family members and friends to cut down and cut out meat from their diet :)
@ZOSHKILLZ vegan gains forced his pitbull to go vegan. I don't think it comes up on his channel anymore
Finally convinced myself to watch this documentary and I don't regret it. Upon first thought giving up and hour and a half of my time to a documentary that I was controversial about wasn't something I was interested in, but I am glad I watched it. I now have a completely different outlook on the world and how I and others around me make an impact everyday.
I've been vegan for about a year now. It was a good decision. I like how people hate vegans because they say vegans are to intrusive when telling meat eaters that theyre "better" people. But let's face it. Animal and Human lives depend on it. To be honest, wouldn't you be a little intrusive if life as we know it is depending on it?
SOME OF YOU YOUNGER PEOPLE ARE SO DIS INFORMED its a shame of these people to do that to you . Most people in there 60 plus have lived on meat all there life. I guess your parents were really ignorant people right?
@@alangrigo9388 get help, the truth hurts
hello i'm meat
Have they provided the references for the research they point to yet?
We emailed them weeks ago and they said they would provide it on their website but we cannot find it there or anywhere online.
The film is worth watching even though the conclusion seems to be quite fallacious.
Knowing where your food comes from and how it is produced is really important which is one thing vegans seem to understand. Not enough everyday people seem to care about sourcing their food locally.
We've actually had the reference page up on the website for over a month. Please check out www.cowspiracy.com/fact-check.

People are learning and this is a great movie to learn from. I'm an older person gone raw vegan and it's a fantastic lifestyle, you just have to learn nutrition. I was a carnist and then vegetarian, but when I realized what I was doing to the animals, the planet, and my health, I changed for the better. Namaste!
eating meat is less work and i still get a complete nutritional value you get nothing from plant sludge..

This documentary changed my life. Watched it last weekend and I'm reconsidering my eating habits now to see how I can transition to a lower carbon diet. We have to change the way we do things to save our planet, or else we along with all other living things will suffer.

made me feel good about not eating animal products :)
One of the best documentary I've ever watched. Made by a true modern hero. I won't eat anymore cheese, meat or dairy products.
Save the world, save ourselves.
I really want every person in the US to watch this documentary. Before it's to late......
+Peter FFyOU It too late to apologize. It toooooooo late
What do you do for a living Peter?
do you only care about the us
Best documentary I’ve ever seen. I’ve watched it three times and have recommended it to hundreds of people who told me how much they learned from it. It’s on Netflix. *Go watch it now!* You know you want to. :)
I am loving the response of this documentary. You guys inspired many to adapt a vegan life style. Thank you for your hard work and dedication! Beautiful film. Bravo!
Kip Andersen (and whoever in the film making team) and Netflix really should have all our respect to stand against the vast legal resources of the government and the meat industries. I made the donation this film making company before I even finish the whole documentary.
Wow, what an amazing film. I'm hugely passionate about the planet we live it and it makes me happy to know other people are too. We need to make a change now, a drastic one, before it's too late. The future is in our hands and I really hope we can try for a better one!
"The Voiceless" (By Molly Biehl)
There's problems in the world today
Too many to explain
And if someone doesn't like something
They're entitled to complain.
But what about those who have no voice,
no words for us to hear.
They never get to have a choice,
They live in pain and fear.
They are the animals of the world;
No one can hear them cry.
But just because they can't speak out
Should they have to die?
'They're not as intelligent,
They aren't people! What's with all this fuss?"
What if a person isn't very smart?
Can't he feel pain like us?
Can't he feel and suffer and think?
Or doesn't he have a soul?
Something has got to change.
This world is out of control.
Until we protect the most innocent ones,
Those who cannot fight,
This cannot be a peaceful world
This world cannot be right.
What about the unborn child that is slaughtered you are telling me they don't feel the PAIN BE RIPPED APART
Glad to see the obvious being exposed. I live in cattle country and beyond the environmental destruction, the cruelty culture that it is will make anyone want to switch to carrots.
You probably have a government job that gets it s tax dollars from that rancher. SORRY NO CATTLE NO MONEY TO PAY YOUR SALARY!
I've been trying to reduce my meat and cheese consumption and i no longer drink cow milk because of this documentary.
Good job, one of the best documentaries out there.
check out the statistics of how many vegetarians there are percentage per company, its small, less than 1% in most countries and meat eating is on the rise. Wow think of your childrens future, humanities future, do you care? Most are so selfish, all they care about is themselves. All the pain inflicted on these animals will come back , karma, and its real
+Mehlinda Heartt I know. It's so sad!
Actually, as far as I know 12% of England (or Britain's) population is non meat eaters.
+TheGentleBoy3000 yay because their burgers are 22 days old. Give them real meat and then 99percent will be meat eaters
I eat meat, my ancestors ate meat, everyone I know eats meat, I'm from a 1st world country and there are literally like 0.4% of vegans here, oh and you still believe in karma? Grow up, it's the 21st century.
+Liam Harris couldn't agree more!!
What a fantastic film. I flinched at the beginning when he praised Al Gore for opening his eyes (Al Gore has as much to do with caring about saving the "planet" as he has with "inventing" the Internet)... but don't worry, Al Gore's photo gets ripped off the wall later on and replaced by brilliant people like Howard Lyman and Will Potter who live how they preach.
+blakmira although you could be right to certain extends, why blaming Al Gore so badly? I mean, even if he is not vegetarian or whatever, I still think he did a great job in brining up environmental problems and everything related to climate change.
ps: i loved this documentary minus the vegan part as its not supported by enough scientific facts. A single doctor claiming he's been vegan for over 30 years and he can run does not reflect anything on a big scale. The main point to me should be that everyone should enormously reduce their meat consumption, perhaps something like 1 portion of meat every 2/3weeks. There is no need to drastically stop the consumption but there should be an imposition in greatly reduce the consumption and do it now.
Cristian Curtis Al Gore was nothing more than a paid mouthpiece for propaganda. You need to read up on the background of Al Gore and Maurice Strong, conmen who hijacked the "pollution" movement and set up private bank accounts to profit from "global warming/cooling/climatechange." (see link below) For Al Gore's role in playing the "fall guy" in 2000 that ushered in the 100%-riggable Diebold machines for presidential voting, he was promised a Nobel Peace Prize for *doing nothing* (which they gave to him in 2007) and a role as "messiah/narrator" in their Inconvenient Truth BS that mentions NOTHING about corporate pollution (including oil spills), the effects of diet (meat-eating) and Monsanto (terminator seeds) on the planet, nor does it offer alternative fuels (it never will). Al Gore is a total CONMAN - and richer than Satan.

al Gore is enjoying his beach house it should have been flooded by now that the oceans are 50 feet higher /s
this documentary changed my life.
There were some facts left out, like for example when he visited the sustainable pick farm: grass-fed cows produce much less methane than their industrialized counterparts because the cow that live on grass are actually eating the food they stomacks have been made for.
Also, because of the grazing method and how many animals are managing are certain amount of ground, the cow dung is incorporated back into the fields - there is no overproduction that needs to be carried away.
I just went vegan a few months ago so I never paid attention to stuff like this before since I was a lifelong meateater. This is truly mindblowing. Thank you for sharing.
I'm not a Vegan nor vegetarian but I don't eat meat every frigging day! maybe once a week at most, but I know people who can't take a bite out of their daily meal without meat( poultry, meat, seafood, meat by products) I just find it ridiculous.
What about mines, computer factories, cars, etc.
Agriculture is what made countries able to survive. If farmers and ranchers went on strike then people would know.
This documentary is changing lives, and slowly the world. It'll lead to important discussions. The truth can be ugly/scary.. But it will set you free.
FALSE DOCTRINE
You can't have infinite growth on a finite planet, and this new documentary COWSPIRACY: the sustainability secret provides a worrisome example of why that is.
Please see "Open Source Ecology" and their efforts if you don't already know about them.
Not sure whether this argument is totally true. Well, in a mathmatically way, sure. But just think about the digital revolution. Facebook, youtube, google... they all gain so much money and growth and they are just virtual (okay, energy. right. But there is the possiblity of renewability). Marx also predicted the end of growth in the 19th century but he oversaw the shift to a service economy which now is one of the most important job sectors especially in the US and Europe. Growth doesn't necessarily needs raw materials. Nevertheless i agree that the growth addiction especially in politics and business should not be the way.
"Cowspiracy may be the most important film made to inspire saving the planet."
Dairy Farming is the number one industry in my country and it's having a devastating impact on the land and water ways. Makes a lot of people very angry, myself included.
+A.I. Ozymandias
Thank you for your comment. Yes, truly and important film, one that needs to be shared and shared.
Active supporter of our dairy 'industry' here. Haven't seen the film, but I see no argumental, factual comments here. Only comment how great and awesome this film is. So I'll break it up. First myth, argument used a lot by you guys: several gallons of water needed for a gallon of milk, so this is 'wasted'... MYTH, because water doesn't just disappear like that! Water ends up in manure, which is distributed to fields. A great deal of water ends up in the cyclus. Same goes for agriculture of course.
you're in denial and you know it, people like you are too dumb to understand that this industry its not sustainable and it will end one day even if its in a bad way.
philltitanium It's people like you whom, in 99% of cases, have never even visited a farm that proclaim the most bullshit. You don't even know what happens at a dairy farm. You don't even know how anything works. You know nothing about harvest, milk production, manure management, equipment, innovation and developments. Still people like you claim you know it ALL by saying dairy is not sustainable.
im refering to meat and diary industry, im not speaking about how good the equipment or the farms are, i mean is the world population is allways growing and there's not enough land for all the cows and the harvesting exclusively for cow's food.
Oh my...and obviously you're not aware, that we are hitting on ancient aquifers for our water...
The ignorance of some of the people posting here...is breathtaking.
Ultimately...the denial you're existing in, absolves you of taking any responsibility towards it...
There's a hoax alright...bit it's not Climate Change, or Global Warming...Greenhouse Gas/Carbon Emissions continue to be our greatest threat to our environment...compounded by Industrial determination to foul our water supplies...
I'm 61 at present...if I have 20 years left...that may be a lot...
I'm selfishly hoping, things remain viable just long enough for me to get out of here alive. lol.
So consume away you mindless f_ _ _ers...mess it up all you like..."I DON'T CARE ANYMORE"...it's 'Your' Childrens future...not mine. You really are a special kind of stupid...
Hoolio
You worked on one dairy farm, only 1, and did that one dairy farm make your perception of dairy farms. I been on so many dairy farms (Europe) there is not one the same, off course there are some bad ones, but that's in every business, look at dog owners. There is no need for punching cows with sticks and such. Cows produce and health the best at regularity and ease, cows reflect your own mood.
This film turned me vegan on the spot. I am forever grateful to everyone involved. Rewatching right now to get inspired for my speech on veganism and sustainability at a local high school here in the Netherlands!
amazing to get a mentaI lIIness on the spot
I wish all the people on planet Earth will watch this film! Thank you, guys!
Great job guys!! I am going to the Australian Premier this weekend and taking a friend
Looks rather superb. However, it is our monetary system and a lack of changing to a resource based economy, that is destroying everything on this planet. Destruction equals profit. Looking forward to this though. Thank you kindly!
Agree, but we can act today on that shift by becoming Vegan. All the best from Portugal.
Jim, understood.... but NOT in the case of local food systems. I'm 60, i remember a time when we grew our OWN FOOD on the outskirts of the cities. We processed that food, we further processed that food in town. We made shoes, clothing, jeans, ONLY LOCAL FOOD will recreate "VALUE" and thriving metro and rural economies across every state. Currently, we are dependent on long distance food. That food demands a lot of fuel. If we return, slowly, to a local food system, through the demand of our local customers, we will begin to turn this Global train around. We will once again know local food security, a local economy with jobs, improved local health, local fuel conservation AND, ultimately, local food price point stability.
Ruell Chappell Sure Ruell Chappell but morally do we have the need to do such thing nowadays? Gary L Francione has some good clips on this issue. Please have a look. Best regards.

I think, this documentary was one of the most important things i ever watched, amazing work, congrats. this deserve to be shared. thank you
Watched it and this film is just mind-blowing. Never thought it would have such an impression on me. But seriously, everybody (and I mean it) should watch this movie before deciding anything about their lives. A huge thank you to everybody who was starring or producing this masterpiece.
It's now on Netflix Germany aswell and you should watch. So far I was only vaguely aware that meat is one of the biggest problems of the climate change but this docu comes along with actuall numbers and it's freaking scary. So many more people need to know this. I already know so many vegetarians but all they ever say is 'oh you can't kill the poor animal. It's a living being too' Tbh Im an asshole enough not to care about that (like most people do) I wont be sad about a dead cow if it's yummi. But this argumentation goes so much further and If people would know about all this so many would change their livestyle and eating behaviour. This film scared the hell out of me. And that was a good thing. A cow may not made me cry but I could not help it when I saw what that single cow does to the planet to be bred and fed. If we keep this up then bye bye earth. While watching this, somehow all the little information one can read up here and there came together and it all made sense. For example years ago I read that germany spends most of its taxes to subsidize farmers (unknown by most people, who still wonder why less and less money is put in education etc) I knew this but it always seemed so weird to me. Why would we have to do that, and why would be do that even. How could this be true. I knew the fact but i did not know the why. it didnt make any sense to me. Now I know and its disgusting.
This is one of the most current informative documentaries on sustainability and meat-eating. If you love your children and grandchildren---due to the population of the planet going vegan seems to be the only responsible way to go!!!
omg i am getting constant goosebump.. This doc must be mindblowing.
I was 3 years Vegan/Raw. Everything takes from something. The difference between existence Thriving or be to Perish resides in Reciprocity of Consistent Production that Emphasizes the Expression/lack of Vitality in All Living Things in the Vicinity as a Direct By-product of Every type of Behavior and Belief that determines Supreme Value Currency.. The Web Of Life. Raw Carnivore has Maximized the Clarity and efficiency of this Absoulute Innerstanding Understanding
for me and whether I eat plants or animals I am still taking Life. The Difference is in the Understanding that with what I have taken I will be Grateful and Produce Tenfold Value of this Investment I have made that applies With Everything since Anything Is Everything in the Eyes of Tru AwarenisS Innerstanding Unfolding and the conclusion is there are over 50+ nutrients missing in their bioavailability form than 🥩 meat and to Top it off, if you look at Dr Paul Saladino M.D. He went through it all just like us and quickly discovered the pitfalls in the Vegan diet. Look up Paul Saladino’s, “The Carnivore Code” and the Results will Certainly speak for themselves ✨✨✨🙏🏻
Great documentary! Very well done and highlighting a very serious issue. It was the last drop in my decision to try go vegan for at least 1 month and to my own surprise it wasn't all that bad. I love eating meat, milk, eggs, cheese, but having a purely plant-based diet isn't bad either. And with keeping the protein intake reasonably high with beans, lentils, soya, etc... one doesn't really miss animal products much. Plus I must say over the 1 month I was eating solely vegan food I felt somehow healthier. I absolutely recommend to try vegan food to anybody. I personally don't feel to go full-time vegan right now, but I'm planing to make every 4th month in a year a "vegan month" where I will eat only vegan food. I hope that many more people will go vegan so that for more and more smart chefs and food producers recognise the vegan market as interesting for putting their effort and creativity into it, so that we will have even better vegan products on the market. Needles to say, already the current vegan food is already pretty good.
they gives the figures out in a misleading way, this documentary is actually bullshit.
People need to listen to 'How to green the world's deserts and reverse climate change | Allan Savory', and, for their health, Dr. Anthony Chaffee.
long overdue film. we'll be talking about it for a long time. go #vegan ;)
If the data shown in the documentary turns out to be false, would you change your mind ?
@herowar what kind of question is that? The FACTS provided in the film were all conservative numbers to ensure everything was 100% accurate and that they did not show anything to be worse then they knew it could be. Are you the kind of person who doesn't believe in global warming, or what?
what if they were not accurate at all ?
@herowar I don't care. I'm an ethical vegan.
Herowar /\
i've been watching my grandfather kill ducks to cook and eat since i was a kid, so i was unbothered by it and i wouldn't say it's life changing for me. still a good film though.
"Racing Extinction" was premiered last night, and for anyone who isn't familiar with the topic, please step forward. There is much work to do to bring awareness to the human mind, so that change can happen. We are at a tipping point.
I know that things like this cost money to make, but if it is really world changing information, if people NEED to hear this, it should be free. Im sure there are wealthy people out there (vegans particularly) that would happily fund a project like this. I mean why could I watch 'The Union' for free but not this or Earthlings?
It's kind of funny and sad at the same time that after watching the film the first thing I should do is to cut my meat consumption and check where and how the meat is produced. But what did I do? Nothing. I blindly continue the same diet. In fact, this was the first time I even thought of stopping meat consumption.
So, while the politicians argue who should cut most from coal and other emissions, do I think we can cut the emissions from farming? Nope. Why? Because the world is filled with selfish people like me who, even after recognizing the facts, are not willing to change.
I do try to make change by recycling and using public transport etc. Does it help? Maybe. Does it help enough? Not in a million years.
Great documentary
Please somebody make this go viral!
Wow Cowspiracy looks like it will make people rethink anything they know!
Do you guys know where I can watch this documentary for free?

How can you tell if someone is vegan? Don't worry, they'll tell you.
Lichtblick I’m not vegan but vegetarian. I’m proud of it too
This documentary has changed my POV completely. Thanks for enlightening us.
About time this movie was free to watch on youtube. Information like this should be available for everybody and promoted as much as possible. Issues like that should be brought up and resolved if we want to survive.
the information they show on this stupid fucking documentary is shown twisted to support their opinions. and the true correct information is available to everyone, its called the interent. literally takes one google search to find credible sources
Love this documentary!! It’s so easy to reduce or eliminate animal products from your diet and it’s amazing that such an small choice and have such a big impact. 🌱❤️
I want to cry. I've stopped eating meat. I pray others will look at this.
The silence was the main thing that shocked me at first, dodging the question as if live bullets haha this is a must watch for the whole planet
Finally! A film about this, people keep wanting to sweep this shit under the rug but seriously one day it's going to be impossible to do that, you can't keep pretending this shit isn't happening. People need to wake the fuck up and actually begin to focus on the IMPORTANT issues.
I recently got to attend a screening of this film. Remarkable, poignant, emotional, and raises truly important concerns - my hats go off to Kip Anderson and Keegan Kuhn.
True visionaries.
It takes 660 gallons of water to produce 1 quarter pound of hamburger. WOW! I guess I shoud eat more tofu?
YES you better then just don't force me not to eat my steak that I want to eat!
How much water evaporates every hour in this world Jimmey?
@@navminhas412 WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE
WUTSON !!!!

One third of This world will be destroyed by Almighty God because of you sinful people .
Amazing documentary, very informative and enlightening. Thank you so much! I've become a vegan a few moonths ago and Im loving every aspect of it!
I've flown over the stock yards that supply America with its' meat. They are massive. The number of cattle head seem and almost move like water from thousands of feet up. As they funnel into the long metallic building, trucks waited and departed at the other end. No cows. I was amazed at the sheer scale of it.
This has changed my life.
i have already watched this documentary just a minutes ago and its sooo goood... i am thinking of not eating burger again. btw, i am 19 and we must act on the most practical way hehehe
See you at McDonald’s later same time?
Have been vegan since birth and recently is moving to US for undergrad and lots of peeps were saying to go non vegan . Though my parents don't want me to still I was in little confused situation to go or not but after seeing this I'm proud I haven't and never will . That last line from documentary " You can change the world , NO! You must change the world " 👌
This is fantastic. Its so good that He had the guts to put this out there. Definitely worth watching !!!
right that's it, just finished watching it. you convinced me to go vegan! job well done i suppose? :) i advise everyone to do the same. if everyone who watched this film became vegan, how great would that be? the more people who watch this the better the chance we have of saving this planet. essential viewing for anyone that cares even the smallest amount about our, and all other species' future in this world!!
***** I haven't seen this film ,but am very familiar with the facts. Cut meat consumption- agreed. Go vegan - not the most efficient use of land. The most efficient use is high density mixed perennial agriculture. An example would be fruit/nut trees, with undergrowth of other edible plants and ,say ducks eating slugs and converting them to eggs. Or a pure orchard with geese or sheep grazing the herbage underneath so one doesn't need to waste fuel and buy a machine to do it, and you get eggs in addition to the tree crops. Industrial farming - mostly grain, requires massive fossil and unsustainable mineral imports, and is rapidly degrading the soils ability to produce a crop, at the same time contributing to runoff and eutrophication. Most vegan diets are grain and bean based, which are annual crops encouraging soil damage.
Watch the whole movie and you'll see why going vegan is the only way
You ready to have your Taxes tripled to support all the farmers ,ranchers , logging companies Sawmills , Pulpmills ,that employ people. no toilet tissue made, keep using the same rag to wipe your butt. LETS get real people.
I have a few issues with the movie... as someone who is studying agricultural science who is also an environmentalist i think im qualified.
The amount of GHGs released by cows is measured in gross release, e.g. respiration and waste. however the carbon gained from feed and grass is gained from photosysnthesis and is therefore part of a cycle (just like the carbon cycle in a regular ecosystem). So really the affect which Cows have on GHGs have on this cycle is the convesion of CO2 into CH4 (this is bad). Giving evidence of purposely misleading statistics.
The water-use from cattle is said to contain the total water requirements of the grains they eat, however the grains and legumes that compose cattle feed is primarily rain-fed, meaning that this water is not taken out of wetland ecosystems. So making the comparison with leaving the garden hose on is what i believe is once again being purposely misleading.
There are a few other issues but ceebs.
+Eric Inglis Yeah this was like a one of those films that had their agenda wrapped like an enchilada only to use graphic images to win over minds.
Their GHG estimate imply livestock is responsible for 51% of anthropogenic pollution...
51% I nearly laughed and shut the film off but had to finish watching and found out it was just vegan propaganda. I think they need to visit www.EPA.gov on more recent numbers for agriculture emissions.
+TCarnage yeah as an aspiring scientist I was disappointed. Especially as an environmentalist I feel real issues weren't accurately represented
+Eric Inglis do you eat meat? And what are more accurate numbers, can you provide sources?
+Eric Inglis +tcarnage couldn't agree with this more. it's a great film, but get your facts right!
xoranginho I dont eat most forms of meat. but id like to say that im not anti vegan.... livestock farming is clearly damaging the world. I dont have sources i just read through their's and made my personal opinion.
I feel so much proud to be an indian right now
I guess the climate organisations fail to mention that fact that India is like the least meat consuming nation , and if 1.3 billion people can survive without meat i think a couple of million could thrive
So I assume this is about cow farts.
Nope.
Adrian Lopez
About cows, the idea of us eating meat means more cows, and cows being a huge factor in climate change CO2, right?
Yes, but this film covers a lot more than CO2.
Adrian Lopez
I don't think you understood the joke of my OP, then.
+Collin Berend I understood it. When I wrote "nope," I meant that it's not just about cow farts. I apologize for the miscommunication!
WOW! I need to see this, asap! Everyone does!
I am utterly disgusted with how humanity treats our beautiful animals , one day it's going to come back to bite us, and honestly I hope it does, greed and money has blinded us
And i am utterly disgusted how being vegan destroys your health. Strokes. Hairloss. Depression. Brain health. if you ppl think being a vegan is a healthy idea you are so misunderstood
@@andrewcruz3837 I don't know where you're getting your information from, but your comments are not evidence based. Try checking out the China study if you're interested in facts. Cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other chronic diseases, hair loss and neurological issues are primarily due to a heavy meat and dairy diets and nutrient deficiencies. Now, if you eat processed food of any kind, including processed vegan food, you're still going to have similar health risks as meat eaters. At 48 years old, having been a whole food vegan for 12 years, my cholesterol, vitamin and nutrient bloodwork is the best it's ever been in my entire life, with my LDL levels way below the norm. Previous to that when I was eating meat and dairy, I had calcium deficiencies, was pre-diabetic and on statins, was 40 lbs heavier and developing neurological problems as well as depression. I stopped taking statins due to bad side effects and completely healed all of ailments by switching to a vegan diet, and increased my exercise endurance, much to my former doctor's surprise. My husband had a severe heart attack and TIA a few years ago and now his cholesterol and sodium levels are back to normal since he decided to convert to veganism. Our doctor is considering reducing his meds since his bloodwork has been consistently good. Everyone in our family (many who are elderly) have been inspired by our health turnaround and have since transitioned to veganism and have all had similar positive health improvements.
It's unbelievable how much going vegetarian has changed my life over the past year.
I always thought it was hard to give up such things as meat (not fish), but it's been the best decision i've made so far!
People afraid to tell the truth? That sounds like the stuff of groundbreaking history to me. Any time someone gets scared from someone standing up for what's right, or exposing a deeply harmful lie, someone powerful will get defensive and aggressive, but eventually, the right thing must be done before disaster hits.
Luckily I am vegan😕
But everyone should watch this video!
Go vegan and save millions of animals and save the world!
Going vegan was the best thing I ever did. :-)
Commenting for engagement, everyone should see these documentaries.
Look what’s happening in Australia right now. It’s 8 degrees warmer than average in October in some areas and southern Queensland and NSW is literally on fire. Scott Morrison (Prime minister) isn’t doing shit to manage the high amount of resources that are required (Water, food land) as well as the emissions of Co2 and Methane (which turns into Co2 anyway) regarding animal agriculture because of corporate profits. Rather than being proactive by helping farmers to adapt to the future by using techniques like Vertical farming he is being reactive by funding bandaid solutions like sending water which Australia barely has!
Or we could just not fund the industries causing this and not buy their products.
It took 200,000 years for the human population too reach 1 Billion , it only took 200 more to reach 7 (approaching 8).
At this stage it’s nearly an obligation too adapt a more plant based lifestyle. Watch Cowspiracy on Netflix if you want to see a more global scale
Disturbing as this film may be, the human body is designed by nature to consume animal protein and fats. Over the thousands of years of our evolution, we have not evolved to become herbivores. We are out right Omnivores. This articles puts up the pros and cons of both, but has favour of a balanced omnivore diet - paleoleap.com/vegetarianism-bad-environment/ .
To add a question, if everyone stopped eating meat today, do we think that deforestation to grow all this wheat, corn and soy beans wouldn't happen? Of course it would. This isn't about eating meat or not eating meat. Its about balance and taking only what we need from nature to survive. The native indians did this extremely well, maybe we should look to their way of life to bring balance back. We have to get back to local, natural production - but the downside of that is whether or not we could produce enough to sustain the population.
