I wanna also thank deeply to Valery who gave me this opportunity to stand here in front of you tonight
and have this lecture.
Before I start, I'd like you to turn your mobile phones on silent mode,
and please keep your questions until the end.
you can write them down so you won't forget them.
For some of you who may not know me, I am Idan, I am 26 years old today.
-Congratulations-
Thanks
I have been a student here for about 2 years or so, and I have been vegan for about five and a half years.
Over the last year, I've started being an activist on and off, and recently I've started doing it on a weekly basis
Today I am going to talk with you about one of the biggest industries
that the biggest corporations do not want us to know about.
which is the animal industry.
Now, I want to clarify that I am not here to judge you nor preach you or something like that.
Choosing veganism is not like joining a cult, nor changing your religion or something like that.
All I want is to show you the evidence,
the truth which is being hidden from us, so you could reconsider your lifestyle.
I am going to start with a short video and then we'll continue.
-Yeah we apologizing that it's too slow, be patient-
-Sometimes it does that-
That was an intense video.
While you watched it, I looked at your faces and I saw that some of may have felt bad, angry or sad.
And it's good! Because this is what I want to focus on. The compassionate side of you, the humane side of you.
And the good thing is that we don't have to be that guy who destroys and ruins Earth and kills its creatures.
Today I am going to talk with you about the law in Israel against animal abuse,
the industries, ecological effects, vegan diet, and what can we actually do.
Does anyone know what the law in Israel says about cruelty against animals?
Anyone?
Well the law says that: "A person shall not torture an animal, he shall not be cruel to it,
nor abuse it in any way".
Now I have a question.
To whom does this law apply to?
Is it only for some people? when some people can torture and some cannot? Or dose it apply to anyone?
Allegedly, it's supposed to be to anyone, it's above the judge and even the officers .
However, we can see two kinds of harms, yet one of it is out of our awareness.
The first one is the domestic harm.
We all hear about these kind of harms in the media.
About a guy who hit a dog, punched a cat, killed an animal.
And if we see this kind of harm on the street, we'll try as much as we can to do something.
To get involved, maybe to call the cops. And we can see how these vicious people will go to custody, the court.
We can see the law is being upheld.
However, there is another kind of harm which is being hidden by the institutions and the government itself.
Which is the Institutionalized harm.
This kind of animal abuse ...
*Sorry, I had a blackout*
is approved by the government and it let hundreds of corporations, institutions, and companies practice it.
And it doesn't really matter whether it's a goose, a cat, a sheep, a tiger or an elephant in Thailand.
They are both feeling the same pain.
And just to clarify your thought, while there are thirty thousand cases of domestic harm,
there are three hundred million cases of Institutionalized harm.
Now I believe that you are not a number in the statistics of the domestic harm, god I hope not.
But in indirect way we do pay for these people, this institute, to make these (animals) suffer for us.
He doesn't do it because it's fun, because we pay him to do it.
Now once again, it doesn't really matter which animal is it. They are all feel the same suffer.
Does anyone know which basic needs and rights do animals have?
Any guesses?
Well. Their basic needs are: Freedom from violence, satisfying basic needs,
appropriate environment, to be socialized and have a family.
And surprisingly, these are also their rights. To have this freedom of violence, and so on..
To have these basic needs.
I'm going to explain about the industry, I'll start from the biggest industry
which is 220 million chickens for meat, to the smallest industry which is about 600 thousand mammals.
cows, sheep that come from the meat and the milk industry.
The logic that stands behind this is while a chicken, a fish is a small animal
that one person, two people can eat it, for a whole cow, a goat you need several people.
The poultry industry
For the poultry industry we need both male and female chicks.
And like in any other industry, we need an appropriate stock,
we need to sort the damaged one and to get rid of the damaged stock.
and by saying get rid of them I mean, kill them.
They throw.. they kill them by throwing them into the garbage and then they let them suffocating.
The chicks in the bottom will die from the massive weight that crushes them.
That was a humane way to kill them until a couple of years ago.
Now the humane way is to grind them up alive in a crusher.
I have a question, by raising your hand who do you think is older?
who think is it the right one?
who think is it the left one?
Only you?
It's ok -who is older guys?-
who is older?
Who is older? Which one is older?
The right one or the left one?
The left one?
Ok, so most of you said it was the left one, the right answer is neither of them. They are both 42 days old.
How is that?
By using a technique that called "Artificial selection".
This is a technique that is used to create new strains of animals,
by only breeding certain animals with certain traits .
In this example, only chicken which has large breasts were bred in order to be..
to create new chickens that are naturally meaty for the meat industry,.
They are overfed by playing with their bodies.
A chicken in the nature eats in the day light and sleeps at night, so the technique here is to bring them food,
turn on the light, let them eat and after a while to turn off the light.
And once again, they turn it on and over and over again.
Same thing with turkeys, you can see the lights on the side.
Again you also can see the massive density where they have to live.
After about two years...
no, sorry.
You can also see the consequences that they can't barely stand, barely walk properly.
Their chest is getting forward, the leg is very small,
the reason is because we don't eat the feet, but we eat the chest.
After two years old..
After 42 days they will be violently transported to the slaughterhouse in a small cages.
To make the job easier, the workers will shake the cages. Sometimes the body parts....
stuck behind the bars. And body parts can torn off .
The fish industry. I wrote here that the fish industry responsible for the cruelest kill.
Why is that? because for some of you may not know, fish do feel pain. They also need oxygen.
for some of you who have an aquarium in your house needs..
he also needs to buy oxygen, and also to replace its water, because they live in the same water.
Do you think this fish has oxygen?
He is suffocating.
Moreover, he lives in a crowded space. We can compare the size of this space to a bottle of water
Plus they don't replace their water, so they still live in their own filth.
We can dived the fish industry into two. The aquaculture which is fish ponds and sea cages.
While from distance it may seem spacious and clean, but inside this pool, they are thousand of fish.
They are all crowded, and in this kind of aquaculture, once again we use the artificial selection.
These two salmons are at the same age, only that one was raised in the fish pond.
the other technique is the commercial fishing, to throw a net into the ocean.
Whatever comes to the nets goes up and they are all suffocating when they are not being in their natural area.
Not only fish get inside these nets but also other water animals like seals, dolphins, sharks, turtles, and so on.
Another victim are the pelicans who come from Europe and they want to go to Africa.
They want to have a break and eat from our fish , but we can't let them to eat our goods,
so the solution is to shoot them.
The egg industry. People may ask what is so wrong about the egg and the dairy industry?
because there is no animal that was died for it. Let me refute this claim.
For egg we need a female chicken that will lay this egg.
The male chicks are not appropriate and they are not profitable.
So? what we are doing with an unprofitable product?
To get rid of it. All the male chicks that were just hatched go to be ground up in a crusher.
This is the humane way. The female chicks...
This is about fifteen thousand chicks per day .
the female chick will get her beak cut by a hot metal blade heated to 700 degrees,
this is so they can prevent violence when they'll put her in a battery cages.
A battery cages is a small place, we can compare the size of the space to a half size of A4 paper.
This is all the place she has. If one chicken wants to turn, the other chicken must change her position as well .
The battery cages' floor. As I was saying, it's a slanted battery cage made of bars,
the reason for it is for the egg can roll, and their feces will fall to the ground and they won't live in their own filth.
After two years, when they cannot lay anymore eggs, they will be electrocuted.
Their meat will come to our pet food or they will just bury it.
Does anyone know How much a hen, a female chicken lay in nature and how much does she lay the industry?
Any guesses?
While in nature she lays approximately between 12 to 30 eggs per year,
in the industry, using the artificial selection, she lays about 300 eggs per years.
The dairy industry. It may seems clean and harmless industry. But I want you think about it for a minute..
To whom does the milk belong?
-Cow-
cows, the baby cow right
To the baby, to the calf, to the kitten, to the puppy, to any mammals who need to nurse from its own mother.
how did we make it possible to drink from another animal? We are to only species who does it.
This milk has lots of hormones inside so it gets this calve to be a bull, to be a cow, to get to tones.
And we drink it instead of it? have you have seen a dog who drinks from a rat? A pig that drinks from a dolphin?
No. we are the only species who drink from another animal, from goats, from cows.
So If you go to a random cow, which is not from the industry and you press its udders, there will be a zero percent
there will be milk inside. Why is that? because for milk you need pregnancy. How do they do it?
They take a sperm from a bull, and they artificially inject it, put it, into the cow.
this is called an Artificial insemination.
After 9 month, like us humans, the cow will give birth, she will lick it she will clean it , she will try to protect it.
But after no longer than half an hour, the calf will be taken away from her.
The mother will try to scream, she will mooing she will do anything she can. but there is nothing she can..
If it's a male calf , he will be put in a crowded cage , he will eat a lean substitute of milk,
so its mussels will be soft, and he will be slaughtered for veal.
if it's a female calf, after half a year, she will live like her mother, be over milked and over impregnated.
Until her udder will be huge, full of infections, blood, and other gross things. In the end we drink from this.
She will eventually collapse, she lives in filth.
This cow was held like that so the farmer could inject her , so she cannot resist.
A cow in the past produced about 8 liters during her whole life.
Now she produces about 30 to 40 liters during her whole life.
Eventually she will die, she will live near death.
Does anyone know for how long a cow lives in nature and how long she lives in the industry?
Any guesses?
-20 years-
20 years yeah, 20 years she lives in nature. And she will die..
she will transported to the slaughterhouse at the age of 5 years old,
when she cannot produces anymore milk for the meat industry.
The meat industry consumption is divided into two. We have 35% that comes from fresh meat.
And 65% which is a frozen meat from South America.
The distribution of fresh meat consumption is divided into three,
we have the calves and cows that from the dairy industry, what we spoke about right now.
The herds, 13% of herds of cattle and 47% from the live shipping.
In both dairy and meat industries they use the same technique to marking them.
They use hot blade to number them. They take out their horns by using caters and caustic powder.
This female calf is a half years old calf that was go back to the cowshed so she would live like her mother.
She still have the instincts to nurse from its mother, But she has a nose ring. So if she tries, the cow will kick her.
In the live shipping, when they come from Australia and Europe. They will be transported in a..
It's a journey of about two weeks to a month in this crowded boat. Where they have no place to breath,
to drink, to eat. They'll live in their own filth.
Some of them will die during this journey, and the ones who died will be thrown to the ocean.
Sometimes we can see bodies of calves on our beaches. on the way, it also pollutes the ocean.
. When they come here they will violently transported to the slaughterhouse, they will do anything to make them
move. The will use shockers. And I saw once a technique that one of the workers drug a calf from his
leg and made the other pack of calves to chase him, and that how he made them move.
In the end they will be under the sharp knife in the slaughterhouse.
Now I want you to think about of the word a slaughterhouse. A house of slaughter.
we've actually built a house where we violently put innocent, loving, feeling creatures, and we kill them for us.
Because of taste? Tradition? Habits maybe?
Is that really worth it ? Is that really the right thing to do? and the only way to exist?
Some people will say that animals do not feel pain, and they have no awareness.
I want to show you a great story from the Freedom Farm Sanctuary,
here in Israel that made a reunion between a mother sheep and her two lambs.
Well, that was a relief. I want to go over quickly about the ecological effects.
You can see that while all human being weigh 300 million tons on Earth, all domesticated animals weigh
700 million tons. More than double! you can ask yourselves how come the consumption of the meat is so
huge? I mean it wasn't at all like it used to be in the past. One of the reasons is greed.
We have it, and we can eat as much as we can. Sometimes it can effect illness like obesity and other
illness. On the way it's also..we can see a massive of wasting food. And if you think about it for a minute
These animals need to eat. 70% of the world's grain goes directly to the animals in the farm.
We can use this agriculture properly, maybe we can solve the hunger problem.
If we use this energy, we can use this water to ourselves. Also as you could see from the life shipping,
It also pollutes our ocean, the water sources where we drink, the sea, where we are swimming.
And it also contributes the global warming.
A funny fact is that a cow's fart that pollutes methane gas,
in this kind of amount pollutes much more than the whole transportation industry.
So what do we have?
We have over consumption of meat that can cause illnesses like cancers,diabetes,strokes, and much more.
The hunger problems - we can may solved it by using agriculture properly.
Food that is been wasted,
water pollutes,
cutting rain-forests
global warming
and of course the suffering of innocent animals.
So over the years people ask themselves:"Ok what can we do?"
So they tried to avoid and to reduce animal products, and it made dietitians and nutritionists to see if this
avoiding is really good for us. And they found that it is possible. One of the great example is the position of the
American Dietetic Association that says that : "Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals
during all stages of the life cycle". A balanced vegan diet contains all essential nutritional values like zinc, iron,
calcium , protein, ,vitamins. For some of you who may concerned about vitamin B12.
This vitamin is grown next to.. it's a bacteria that grows next to plants. Vegetarian animals get it when they eat
plants, but the animals in the industry get it throw injections or they get this supplement in their food.
So this is the only vitamin that we need to take as a supplement.
There is also a saying that vegans are weak. But like any other thing in life you cannot generalized things.
For example, these athletes are vegans and they achieved amazing scores
So the bottom of line what we can we actually eat?
Legumes like beans, chickpeas, lentils, soy.
With soy we can do all kind of great things like milk and tofu, vegetarian cream, cheese, yogurts,
and also drinks, milk from oat milk, coconut milk, rice milk, almond milk, and so on.
Grains, fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts, with all of these great ingredients we can do almost anything!
like burgers, I ate this one last week. our national food! The Falafel, Hummus, Shawarma
made of soy and mushroom, and on the top is not fat it's onion. Seitan, omelets that made from lentils flour
and chickpeas flour. Veggie "meatballs" and salted pastries ,sweet pastries, sandwiches, ice creams,
and of course all the restaurants. Every restaurant that respect itself has a vegan option.
And of course sites! technology! just Google whatever you want, any dish that you want, you have the vegan option for it.
And don't be afraid of being different .Over the years people have made this change and they've seen these
advantages. And if you're still unsure on how to do it. There is a great solution for it , which is Challenge 22+ .
I'll give you this flair after it, this Challenge 22 is on Facebook, and also on Whats'app for teenagers.
where you can get professional help by professional clinical nutritionists and also vegans, you can speak with
them , talk with them one on one, and they will help you, whatever you want.
Whether you're an athletic or you have a pregnant, anything.
We are not alone in this battle, we are a many. And in the bottom line you should to live according to your heart.
Said Gandhi: " Be the change that you wish to see in the world".
When you have the option, please explain it to other; share this information.
To save life, to save our planet, to save yourselves.
In the name of all animals – thank you so much for listening, I really appreciate it. Have a great night
