I tried to keep it fun rather than labouring points. People seem keen to let me know when they think I've failed, but others have embraced meat-free diets after watching. In case you're confused, the aliens are aware of predation but are surprised humans would still choose to eat animals. The reference to "Chinese" obviously refers to the inhabitants (and specifically the Yulin Dog Meat Festival) and not to an ethnicity. COMMON ATTEMPTS TO DEFEND EATING MEAT: I didn't address these in the film, as I was unaware of how many people used them to justify their support for animal suffering, but thousands of repetitive comments later... This article explains why meat eaters feel compelled to employ blatantly fallacious arguments: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-motivated-mind/202307/14-ways-meat-eaters-let-themselves-off-the-hook. This animation explains the suffering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sVfTPaxRwk "Other Animals Eat Animals!" Other animals have no choice, lack moral agency, and act on instinct. Other animals routinely commit infanticide and rape, while some eat their young. The logic of basing your behaviour on what other animals do is clearly flawed, or we would have no compunction in eating babies with our genitalia out (which I've learned is frowned upon). "Plants Are Alive Too!" Humans can choose between eating animals and plants. Plants live (as do bacteria) but are not sentient like animals. They do not have brains, pain receptors or feelings. If you really can't see the difference between a cow and a cowslip, please read this paper debunking plant sentience: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8052213. Since a diet containing meat necessitates killing more plants than a vegan diet, this argument is also a self-defeating tu quoque. Of course, many trees bear fruit specifically to be eaten, while the argument that eating one life form is no worse than eating any other life form is to also argue people should be eating golden retrievers: suggesting it is hypocritical to distinguish between the plant and animal kingdoms while distinguishing between different orders of mammal is beyond absurd. "We're Meant To Eat Meat!" We evolved as omnivores, but there is no longer any need for most people to consume meat. Please also read https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/does-humanity-have-to-eat-meat/ and https://edition.cnn.com/2024/04/30/africa/morocco-ancient-humans-paleo-diet-scn/index.html regarding the meat-made-us-human myth. The scientific consensus is that a meat-free diet is healthier: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002916522033524. It's worth noting that the Southern States made the "natural" argument to defend slavery, stating (truthfully) that humans had kept slaves for millennia. Clearly, neither a historical norm nor the majority view equates to an ethical action. Rather, ethics are shaped by cultural ethical relativism (we treat norms as ethical). The vegetarian Einstein referred to humans being "imprisoned by delusion" in their inability to recognise animals as worthy of compassion. "Vegans Kill Animals Too!" Animals are killed during crop harvesting, but the data are poor: population counts ignore displacement, so animals that simply move (research suggests the vast majority do move) are not counted. Regardless, not only is killing animals not the purpose of arable farming (and trillions more animals are killed in animal agriculture each year), but more crops go to feeding livestock than humans in developed countries, so meat eaters are still responsible for more of these deaths than vegans (even before the animals are slaughtered for their meat). A vegan diet results in far fewer animal deaths than other diets.
