myrna's yen friendship butchers are
demanding police protection to deal with an increase in violence by antique meat groups but who are these vegan activists and what drives relevant vegans breaking a few sharp windows windows that can always be replaced what we think should really show people is butchers putting on display dead dismembered animals [Music] violent images may hope to change the hearts and minds of consumers our jury to what was happening in Smithfield I think they'll be supportive so the big question is gonna be is the judge going around right whether or not they'll allow the video as admissible evidence a peaceful demonstration but some more violent activists go a step further according to one Union since the start of the year activists graffiti dallbrooke the windows of around 50 stores for your cause that's not a problem but you're scaring people with all this value the property which is less than you know a candy bar is lit I get chips at a kid Mike steals my groceries one nowadays relax what any people there's a number of individuals and organizations whose only goal is to destroy an entire path of French culture fit destroy the expertise of our butchers breeders fishermen when cheese makers one thing that's gonna give me a lot of time a lot of people are continuing to fight the fight plant outside yeah hopefully some of them will be a little inspired if I have to bear that I do that often getting once again to jail for taking a baby take nine we are going to send people to jail happy to be the first because the John Force Mike yeah an entire industry is in danger as veganism enjoys a search in media coverage tell you what's given you nobody is banning people from eating vegetables they can do what they want but please could they leave meat lovers alone only 3% of people of vegans but this 3% is trying to impose their way of life on the rest of the population that's the definition of a dictatorship and their methods are more akin to terrorism than defending their cause so could other forms of civil war most of us share the exact same sentiment I'm ready to go to jail and like I said mostly people I know are absolutely ready to go to jail and take a beating whatever it takes - its civil rights it's what it is it's civil rights for a different species other than just us this time yeah this is just how it is we got to be laughed at mocked thrown in jail just that's just how it is you know it takes persecution to change the world sadly [Music] no one has ever been arrested at one of our days about my overall experience with drag - and everywhere is that they're an institution based on lies built on lies they lie constantly about what their own methods are what their own objectives are what the organization is why would they lie about people being arrested when very clearly there are arrests going on our protests are always nonviolent and we do not target individuals or employees at the places that we protest we have people trained to deal with the police and no one has ever been arrested at one of our days of action and if you just google direct action everywhere and arrest you will find on their same website almost boasting about the fact that so many people have been arrested this one specifies arrest warrants issued most of us share the exact same sentiment I'm ready to go to jail and like I said most of the people I know are absolutely ready to go to jail [Music] Eruzione
