I just played some SkyWars on Hypixel (I failed, of course) and went to my piano recital. How are you guys doing, what's going on? It feels so good to be back on Enjin. Also, any requests for upcoming YouTube videos? I need to find some good Minecraft mini-games and other ideas for videos. c:
*PLEASE READ* Life may be an amazing experience most days for humans, but for animals...IT IS ABSOLUTE HELL. I am being literal here. I'm not joking with the word "Hell," because every second some poor, LIVING, BREATHING, SENTIENT BEING is teased, killed, mutilated, you name it. We cannot spend our lives lying to ourselves that there are happy animals on a farm being "humanely" raised and slaughtered. There is no such thing as humane slaughter or rape, honest. Yes, people are paying others to put petrifying images into female animals' heads, take their milk or eggs, and kill their babies. When you see a piece of meat, that inanimate object once was a living non-human animal. THEY (not it) had a mother, they had eyes, they had feelings, they had ears, they had noses, they had an actual life, but it was ruined by the meat/dairy/egg industry. The only ethical way to live is to be vegan (NOT VEGETARIAN). YES, free-range, organic, "humane," all these bullcrap expressions, are all lies made up by these industries. Even if you get milk or flesh or eggs or honey or WHATEVER locally, THAT is not YOURS. COW'S MILK IS MADE FOR THEIR BABIES TO GROW TO BE 600+ POUNDS. Those things BELONG to THE ANIMALS. If it doesn't belong to you, that is called STEALING. It is morally wrong to put these animals through utter HELL for their flesh, fur, wool, skin, eggs, milk, honey, ANYTHING that belongs to them is theirs, case closed. I'll probably talk more about this in the future (being vegan [almost my one year mark!], thoughts on vegetarianism, health issues related to animal products, etc.), but right now.... just think about what most of you are doing. I don't hate you, I don't care about your beliefs, IT IS YOUR ACTIONS THAT MATTER. Make compassionate and thoughtful choices everyday, and you will be a true, good person. *SAVING LIVING BEINGS IS NOT PROPAGANDA* *DON'T FOLLOW PETA BECAUSE INGRID NEWKIRK (their president) HAS EUTHANIZED COMPLETELY HEALTHY CATS ON THE STREETS IN NORFOLK, VIRGINIA* Thank you for reading.

Gary Yourofsky's entire inspirational speech held at Georgia Tech in summer of 2010. Listen to this amazing speaker who will blow away the myths, fill your mind with interesting facts, and help you make ethical choices for a healthy heart and soul.
Thanks, Corey! You always seem to have such a calm, kind voice. Plus, you have a vivid vocabulary. I wish I could speak like that all of the time... but it's impossible for me to stay in a state of a calm emotion. Sometimes I just get mixed up with myself.
While I must agree that the manner in which the meat & dairy industries treat animals is completely disgusting, I'll have to disagree with a few of the arguments you've given here.
COW'S MILK IS MADE FOR THEIR BABIES TO GROW TO BE 600+ POUNDS.
One doesn't need to deprive cow calves of their milk so that humans can have it as well.
This sort of argument (that the ingestion/obtaining of x is wrong because x was made for someone/thing else) can be applied to the extent that it would be impossible to live life abiding by it. For example, one could argue that cows are "stealing" the nutrients from grass. An even better analogy would be in terms of carnivorous animals in general, which by necessity must take nutrition from killing and eating other animals (who very few people have a problem with solely for being carnivorous).
It is morally wrong to put these animals through utter HELL for their flesh, fur, wool, skin, eggs, milk, honey, ANYTHING that belongs to them is theirs, case closed.
I agree, though this isn't necessarily the same thing as outright refraining from eating meat overall.. I'd see very little problem with people continuing to eat meat/dairy/eggs, if animals were treated humanely (which, sadly, is rarely the case).
I appreciate the honesty in some of this comment, though I have a few problems with it, as well. The issue with saying "cows are 'stealing' the nutrients from the grass" is that plants are insentient beings, even though they are alive. Plants do not care whether the cow “steals their nutrition” or not because they don't have a brain for signals to be sent to. However, animals are intelligent, sentient beings. Please watch this video here and see this animal is intelligent and has feelings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUkHkyy4uqw
Severe health issues have been associated with the consumption of animal products (osteoporosis, cancer, heart disease, etc.; links will be down below). Our bodies cannot handle saturated fat, cholesterol, trans-fatty acids, and animal protein. We do not absorb calcium from any animal products. This is because our bones are made of calcium phosphate. Animal protein is acidic to the body, so when we it enters us, our blood must neutralize it, or we'll get sick right away. In order to do this, phosphate from our bones is released into our bloodstream. Since phosphate and calcium come in a whole package, and calcium is not needed to neutralize the blood, it is simply let out through our urine. We do not absorb calcium from animal products.
The reason the animals may seem "nutritious" is because they simply eat the crops they are force-fed. This is what I call “hand-me-down nutrition.” The vitamins and minerals are only in that animal’s body because they were fed large amounts of soy, grains, and other plants. The nutrients were in the food they were fed. Animals not fed would just be filled with trans fats, saturated fat, acidic animal protein, and cholesterol. A majority of the world’s crops are fed to the animals on factory farms, not humans. We have enough crops to feed 10 BILLION PEOPLE, but we decide to force feed it to the animals instead.

As for the carnivore/omnivore argument, yes, some animals are naturally omnivorous. People are not omnivores by instinct, we have just been told we are. We have not evolved to become omnivores. The reason we began to eat meat was because the Ice Age wiped out most of the Earth's vegetation. Before tools, fire, and weapons, there was no meat eating for humans. Humans are the complete physical opposite of carnivores and omnivores. Our teeth are broad and flattened, plus, our small intestine is about 12 times the length of our torso, just like herbivores. On the other hand, carnivores’ and omnivores’ teeth are sharp and pointed, and their small intestine is 3-6 times the length of their torso, because their bodies are designed to handle large amounts of fat (mainly saturated and trans-fats) and cholesterol. Trans-fats, saturated fats, and cholesterol do not move well through intestines of different sizes. We have flat fingernails, just like herbivores, and we sweat through our pores. Carnivores have sharp claws and pant to keep cool, but they don’t have carbohydrate-digesting enzymes in their saliva like we do. A natural carnivore or omnivore will chomp their food like the alligator (a natural carnivore). Herbivores make a side-to-side grinding motion when they chew their food. The only reason we have canines is because we need them to chew our food! Even the hippopotamus has the world’s largest canines of any land animal, and they’re herbivores! If we were meant to eat saturated fat, animal protein, and cholesterol we would not be dying of cancer, heart disease, and so many other top killers. I don’t think I’ve known of a lion that’s died of heart disease….
If you really think you have carnivorous or omnivorous instincts, next time you see road-kill, oh, you’ll be salivating away! How about you go to the pet store and purchase a rawhide dog bone (not the nylon one!)? When you get home, gnaw on it for a few hours with your powerful, carnivorous teeth! Don’t call me when you get a ten thousand do
Don’t call me when you get a ten thousand dollar charge at the dentist. If you see a rabbit in the woods, use your instincts (after all, you are a carnivore), go chomp up that baby! Eat him raw, head to toe, and then you may call yourself a legitimate carnivore. WARNING: You may die of “natural” causes. If humans really are omnivores or carnivores, we would not have such a large number of people dying from heart disease and other various diseases that are NOT passed down by genetics. Sadly, the foods many people are eating are killing people, animals, and the planet (new post will be up on the connection between animal agriculture and carbon dioxide emissions).
Finally, animals were not made for our consumption or pleasure. I do appreciate your honesty, but not your actions. By paying the meat, dairy, egg, and honey industries, you are paying others to murder living beings just so their dead body can be on your plate (yes, even animals are harmed in the dairy, honey, and egg industries, as well). As I stated in my original post, there is no humane way t-to slaughter. No such thing as humane rape exists. You cannot humanely tear apart a mother and her child. You cannot pay someone to humanely do these things. The human race has become so reliable on lies to cover up our deep, dark secrets, and I’m tired of it. When the slaughter, discrimination, raping, and teasing stops, ethical vegans and animal activists will stop, because they won’t have any reason to “preach” others anymore.

One day, I was walking back from French class to my locker so that I could put my heavy books away. When I opened my locker, I discovered something horrifying.... A BARACK OBAMA CHIA PET ON MY TOP SHELF! The sight of Obama's glowing red eyes and his stretchy smile made me faint. Luckily, my friend, Emma, had a hammer on her, so she thought it'd be a fantastic idea to whack me back into consciousness. After several attempts, she let my friends Jasmine and Ethan give it a try. Pretty soon, everyone in the hallway was lining up to hit my head with a hammer. My math teacher made a BIG face-palm. She rummaged through her closet and pulled out her shiny, red tricycle. Once she was out in the hallway, my teacher began running over my head, but that did not wake me up, either.
When the doctors arrived at my school, one of them got a japanese sweet potato, cracked his massive knuckles, and jammed the starchy veggie in straight into my forehead. The potato didn't make a hole in my head, but it woke me up! It was a miracle! I wouldn't be alive to this day if that man had not come up with such a ingenious idea.
