Netflix helped me go vegan 5 years ago. Thank god.

I’m one month vegan thanks to Netflix and you tube and wish I’d done it sooner - thank you so much for your education and inspiration 🙏❤️ real eye opener x

Bravo Chris! I donate monthly to his organisation ‘wild justice’ which is combating habitat and species destruction in the uk in the courts.

I agree, thought covid would make people more aware about diet and consumerism but they aren’t. People around me get angry at me for speaking the the truth. For upsetting them. Denial is insanity Happy to hear a clear voice speaking truth. We need you. All of us who are silenced

I’ve always liked Chris Packam’s TV programmes. He’s got a lovely, amusing way about him, and he’s absolutely right about our politicians. Now I find he’s vegan! What’s not to love? And no more lobbying? Absolutely.

Love Chris Packham - he speaks so much sense.

He speaks such common sense it’s so clear and understandable but unfortunately there are too many human being just not getting it 😩

Always loved him as a TV presenter, love him even more as a vegan advocate

I wish I could make people everywhere understand - you dont NEED meat dairy eggs and fish. NOT AT ALL.

Massive respect for Chris Packham. Thank you for this interview

big fan of Chris

Good interview! Glad Chris is now Vegan x

Great point about it not being an "extinction" so much as an extermination and not losing species but simply killing them.

Factory farming changed my mind as l thought that being vegetarian was ok but knowing the sadness of the cow having her baby taken away to be slaughtered for my milky coffee was hard to see.

Such a well spoken and learned fellow, very enjoyable to listen to.👍

impressive brilliant thanks

Another hurdle to overcome is that there's money to be made in extinction. Mitsubishi have a huge warehouse full of blue fin tuna, enough to supply the market for the next 10 years plus but they are still hunted, there population has declined by 97% If they stopped hunting them, then the population would grow but this will devalue the blue fin tuna. Now, one blue fin tuna sells for 56,000 dollars...Source, Captain Paul Watson, Sea Shepherd.

I just wish Chris was the government frankly. We have a few brave, hard working but lonely voices trying so hard to save this precious planet. Being vegan is so easy and yet so overlooked across the media and the population at large. Having spent my youth chomping my way through my own body weight in cheese and meat I can safely say that if I can become vegan anyone can (and I'm much healthier too!).

What A great discussion, two wonderful people we are very grateful to . I think that most people do not know the reality of ham and bacon and chicken nuggets or simple don’t want to look and listen . And when they look at milk, they see a cow munching grass in a field living a beautiful life . Sometimes when you talk to people about dairy they only think of milk and don’t even think about cheese and ice cream. People are so good at walking blind and ignoring and suppressing anything and can’t imagine life without certain things . Unfortunately we are a small country . When most of the world doesn’t care , China, russia, India, south america etc I don’t think there is much global hope for anything living on this planet but as they say we have to all keep going and trying and keep coming together to empower and encourage and keep fighting with whatever hope we can . It’s hard to fight money , power and greed and convenience and cheapness and spending power but we all have to try as much as we can, time is exponentially running out . Thank you both to be so wise is a gift

“Mass extermination” wow that hit hard.

So many great points in this video...especially around the issue of personal power and governance structures. My personal feeling is that large nations with centralised governance don't serve anyone best, but if it's broken down to smaller levels (which is already a trend, and will probably continue with independence for Scotland, Northern Ireland, maybe Wales, Basques, Sardegna etc.) we need them operating within a peaceful global framework, so that things like the SDGs, Paris Agreement, telecoms, transport etc can all continue.

I love this man and all he does

The Dutch government does not want to advise people stop/reduce eating meat to mitigate global waming, because it thinks it is too controversial…

That's sad we are in a mass extinction

This was brilliant! Thank you thank you.

Thank you Chris, for this thought-provoking expression of your views. Thank you, too, Juliet for highlighting these immoral and unethical practices. We wish that we had a government that was ethical and morally minded - rather than one which condones many poor and destructive practices as acceptable; a government that is complicit in perpetuating animal cruelty by grants. subsidies and maintaining the status quo. Rather than examining and evolving a healthier and sustainable system - a government that should be acting on the expert advice given them rather than responding to profit margins and maintaining the old world order. The only way each one of us can detoxify our lives of this pandemic of animal cruelty is to go vegan, and cease the unnecessary killing of creatures that have a right to exist on this planet with the same respect and dignity we like to attribute to ourselves. We have a world of plant-based food - we don't need to torture, kill and eat animals. Scientists inform us that the world's population can all thrive on a plant-based diet more fairly - why are governments still perpetuating a destructive animal-based diet. Governments have been privy to the destructive nature of this animal-based regime for years, why have they done nothing? You are what you eat and nobody in their right mind would say that animal diets are just or even necessary. Unfortunately this is not the only area of animal farming that processes the life of a creature into a unit of coin. The insidious fact that reveals itself here - is that this intensive factory farming, devoid of ethics, morals and reason, does not end with the death of these sentient creatures, but continues through a chain to ourselves. We become as objectified as these animals for the sake of profit alone. These practices are awful, the end product is unhealthy and we are getting sick with diseases attributable directly and indirectly to an animal-based diet. Have we - humanity - reached the age of reason yet ? or will this last global catastrophe, borne of inaction and complacency, be the fatal legacy of this generation. Don't wait for governments to change - act now, make a stand in whatever way you can to make a difference. We are conscientious objectors - we are Vegan.

Amazing interview!

Chris, you are one of my heroes 🙏💚

During a documentary following the twin towers disaster, there were ppl who witnessed it from their homes and offices, with varying reactions. Surprisingly, there were those who merely viewed the whole event with cold dispassion. One man actually said “What’s everyone getting upset about? We're not in there”. A perfect example of the explosion of narcissism throughout humanity. I mention this because if we can’t empathise with fellow human beings, what is the likelihood animals will ever be valued? We are all part of nature and respect for all living creatures, whether we like them or not, needs to be encouraged. They have the right to share the earth. Some of us become aware if this instinctively, others need to be reminded. Schools, I feel, is where such education should begin.

Niggle, would be good to bring Juliet's volume up to meet Chris

Thanks for the video .

Great interview. thank you!

FISH FEEL PAIN AND IT'S NOT NONSENSE!

THANK YOU 🙏🏼💙

Awesome information thank you so much

So we are exterminators. Think about it. I never did, and it make me cry and ask myself “why didn’t I put 2and 2 together?

This should be on main stream t.v

Thanks for voicing what I think! 🙏👍 If the world quit eating animals we could not only solve the ecological crisis but also world hunger and animal cruelty... can humans possibly be any more selfish?!.. Oh wait, yes they can... those with massive financial gains from promoting meat consumption 😪 ...Gates.

"Anyone who has a vested interest in keeping things the same or making them worse" are the enemy.

Would love to see a Chris Packham documentary on mainstream TV about animals traditionally considered as 'farm' animals. Similar format to a wildlife doc or the ones he usually does (think a recent show of his was called 'Animal Einsteins') based on latest scientific research on intelligence, social bonds, rearing young etc... But also touching on how the majority of these animals actually live. For example, spending a whole episode documenting the life of a happy pig and her family, maybe pigs living wild or at a sanctuary. Building up drama and suspense over any challenges or dangers they face (just like a lot of recent wildlife docs do, thinking of meercat dynasties here!) so the viewers at home have time to understand the needs and motivations of these characters, fostering a real sense of empathy for the subjects of the film. At the end of the film, sharing some facts such as over 90% of pigs raised in the UK are factory farmed, showing what RSPCA approved actually means for these animal's living conditions (a clue: not much) how old they are when they die and how they die. I doubt graphic footage would be allowed on such a show, but just stating the facts might be enough to help audiences start to put things together themselves and ask questions. Also, random side note: loved Chris Packham since 'The really Wild Show' on cbbc together with Michaela Strachan. Anyone else's fond childhood memories? 😂🌱❤️

This would make a great commercial. It starts with a mother giving birth. The nurse hands the baby to the mom and as soon as she does the doctor rips the baby from her arms. She screams no, but the nurse holds her down. As the doctor walks away with the baby he turns to the camera and it zooms in on him and he has a milk mustache and he says,."Drink milk it's good for you."

If you want to help the Earth: don't have children, be vegan, don't be consumerist, take the car only when necessary, support rewilding.

Can you please edit the sound on this? I can't hear her speak at all unless I turn the volume way up, and then his voice is too loud, distorting my speakers and hurting my ears. If I set volume to hear him properly, I can't hear her at all. I think their message is important, and I'd like to share this, but I feel people won't watch or learn due to the imbalanced recording volume quality. Thanks.

The answer is indeed to change yourself(not only diet, but mentally), but most people do not want to change, they want to learn from own experience. Those who don't want to change, let them sleep. It is only their life.

I think going a more logical choice is more convincing than emotional. People in the US are generally very closed off to their emotions and lack morals. Speaking to their health, their future health, and their home (the earth) may be the only way. I start by bragging about my eyesight and how I don't need glasses anymore and how beautiful my plate is.

oh my god...we must let animal and nature in peace....1year 9 months veg estrict.......we are arrogant and insane

Rev 11:18 says alot about its man who's destroying earth!

🔥💯👍

They are being silenced

You know Chris Packman is a workaholic when the only thing he can imagine doing on a day off is sitting down and having a sandwich 😂😂😂

regarding 20:40 we already have a revolution. it's Technology and the internet, no?

Imo technological solutions are our only hope government is useless and lobbied into submission, the people are misinformed or unwilling to change.

Fish DO feel pain, they have a brain and central nervous system etc.

pekos

We must eat natural food to human, it's natural for us to eat non animal products, no need to have degrees to understand it, don't be greedy for the taste of animal flesh, and get cheated by the food industry, big phama +++++

Eating animals is a cultural value. Changing values is not easily done
