Animal in the animal Rights arena apart from Giving lectures, Mr.
Roffe's keys best known for his approaches in which to get his point across such as breaking into a faux fur
Farm in liberation 1500 soon to be murdered minks for reasons such as this Mr.
Yurovsky has been arrested numerous of times and
Has been banned from entering the United Kingdom and Canada?
Well, Mr.
Yourofsky means of putting an end to what he calls an animal holocaust
His message has reached millions of people all around the world and has
Influenced many in changing their perspective of the food industry good evening
And thank you very much for coming to our studio. Thanks for having me, so
I will start like we said you
affected Millions and millions of people around the world
Why is it so effective here in Israel? How come that is catching in Israel?
I'm not clearly sure why but the only thing that I can figure out is that over the years as I've talked to
Tens of thousands of people I've noticed that people who have been oppressed
Jews
hispanics women blacks they always respond better
To this revolution that I'm involved in because they understand oppression they've been through it
they know what it's like to be treated like nothing like their lives don't matter so
That's what I think is going on here jews have been an oppressed people for thousands of years
We understand oppression and we're supposed to not support it
so I'm just
Pointing this out to everybody because people don't realise how much they're harming animals in their daily lives so as I point out
The stake the hamburger the chicken sandwich that you're eating the schnitzel okay these
These pieces of meat came off the bodies of living animals who didn't want to be murdered who
Didn't want to suffer and die who didn't want to be tormented so once I pointed out to people most people
Same people logical people make that next step to veganism. You know
For the last few days or for the last few months I see a lot of demonstrations in Tel Aviv
Of people demonstrating against the murder
and slaughtering animals and
eating animals and
But I pass by and I look at their shoes and they have leather shoes, and I say okay. This is like
Let's say it's you have two meetings here. It's like you have this I'm not eating, but I am wearing
are they aware are they do they know or, it's
by moral
standards now I don't think they're wearing other shoes they appear to be leather shoes because you have
Synthetic leather that looks just like leather like you have mock meat. That looks just like real meat
I think most people falsely accuse animal rights people of having leather shoes
But they're not I just couldn't have animal skin on my body. It made me disgusted
I think that you're saying animal skin and not leather, and what's what it is. See We'd like to use euphemisms
Which is why these atrocities take place, so we always want to say leather when it's cow skin
and we want to say even even the terms bacon with what's bacon you mean pig flesh, so
Once you start thinking about what we're wearing, and what we're eating again
Is why I say same people will make a choice towards veganism
it makes no sense because if you put it this way
I like to explain how this is the biggest holocaust that has ever existed people get upset at those times
I have to tell you that I am upset about hearing like holocaust comparing the holocaust to
Like every single person that heard your lectures and to hear this
Holocaust comparing it to animals
It's a little bit imagine. You know what and I'm not even Jewish yeah
But it's hurt me it let me explain how this at this holocaust is actually worse
I'm offended that we compare human holocaust to the animal holocaust which is the biggest holocaust in the history of human kind if
You went to the nearest cow or chicken slaughter house and remove the animals and replace them with Jews
You have now recreated Auschwitz. There's no difference. You have a building that exists to
Dismantle to torment to torture and murder innocent beings let's play a time game or a time war pain guts go back
60 70 years you go back to Auschwitz or you go back to Birkenau. You remove the jews and replace them with cows and chickens
You still have a holocaust taking place this in fact we learn how to kill Jews in
the
holidays it because they studied what the meat industry was doing we've learned how to torture and kill each other because we
practiced on the animals first
But animals are eating animals so much all the 75% of animals on this planet our herbivores
but it's part of our circle life notice the circle of torture and death when you see a
Lion eating a Zebra. that's poo and your butt
I notice your clothes on and I notice that you have a cell phone
And you have a computer it is unfair to pick one thing that lions do that
You want to mimic when you don't want to mimic anything else
They do when lions walk up and greet each other they sniff each other's ass when I came in this room
You did not kneel down and sniff my ass
Okay lions sometimes kill their young when they're runts
Okay
if a human being killed their baby because they didn't want him we arrest them and charge them with murder could you go to a
Courtroom and say hey, but your honor lions kill their babies. Can't I it's an honor father
It's an unfair comparison
You're not a lion and just so you know lions are carnivores humans are not we are herbivores 100% up and down
You put a two-year-old child in a crib with a bunny rabbit and an apple
Let me know when the child eats the bunny rabbit and plays with the apple. We are purely herbivores
we have no Carnivorous or omnivorous instincts whatsoever and
physiologically if your jaw moves from side to side in a grinding motion and you chew your 100%
Herbivore if you are a meat-eater like a lion your jaw would only go like this up and down rip and swallow if you sweat
Through your pores to cool yourself your herbivore. What is your main purpose because most of the world won't become vegan
It depends on which day ask me the world injustice can't live forever the world will become vegan one day
just like every woman on this planet will one day have their equality with men just like one day
all oppression will fall by the wayside. Injustice doesn't live forever, and it seems insurmountable don't get me wrong
I mean, I'm in the trenches believe me. It looks like and seems like it can't happen, but remember it took four
hundred years to convince white people in America
Not to own black people you can see why this is taking so long
We can't even treat each other with kindness
let alone treat the chickens and the pigs and the turkeys and the insects of the world with kindness
But I think we can treat each other with kindness one day once we learn how to treat the animals with kindness
You know I'm feeling a little bit uncomfortable because I just had a steak for lunch and I
and it's done not convinced convinced 100%
That I should stop eating meat for the rest of my life
It's not that I'm eating meat every day, but I do love my steak on the plate
once a week
So you have now two minutes to try to convince me eat meat once in once a months
I don't want to convince you to do it once a month. I want to convince you never to do it, okay
You have to put yourself in the animals position imagine that you
Were raped to impregnate
yourself
Okay, somebody raped you to impregnate you you gave birth to this baby this baby was stolen from you at birth that baby was
fattened up with corn and soy and wheat and oats that baby was put on a
concentration camp truck sent to a slaughterhouse hang upside down fully conscious in front of all of her own species
Screaming terrified and fear knife shoved into you know her throat cut up into pieces
Where's the justification for this and it's not your state. You said my stake
I'm very big on language that stake was never yours, okay. That stake is a euphemism by the way
That's cow flesh that flesh belongs to another living being
Where do humans get off
Owning and control living beings where do we get off thinking they were the most special thing that has ever existed on this planet?
when in reality, we're the most
Unspecial thing that has ever existed on this planet
Are you aware that if humans were removed from the planet the extinction of humans would benefit everything that exists are
you also aware that if the bees died off as we've been talking about this for about ten years in the news
the whole system collapses if the ants
Were exterminated the whole system would collapse this is how important special ants and bees are to the world
Why do we think we're better than they are when they
Serve a vital role, and we serve no vital role whatsoever we are tormenters we are oppressors. Where do you think it's coming from?
the arrogance? yeah
I'm not sure. I don't know. I don't know what has gotten into us besides death and torture and murder
I think when you put violence in you get violence out you consume discrimination and death, you're gonna
You know exude...Because some people may say the same thinks about you
Because some people may say that he's arrogance. He thinks that he knows better
He thinks that he's better than us, and actually we're all actually
We're all let's say
How can I put it?
I'm the one to be charged and you are the the judge who is judging me right now. Yeah, and well
There's two people in this world. There's there's people that judge and people that lie about judging
We judge people every day we judge child molesters we judge rapists
We judge nazist we judge murderers, and I noticed a shock to the meat dairy and egg eaters of the world
but Vegans are more ethical than
They are hands down and of course just like a person that doesn't rape is more ethical than a person who does rape Also Hitler was vegetarian
Hitler was not a vegetarian as a complete lie a complete and utter lie from gurbles his
Propaganda Minister
Hitler did have a lot of power didn't he if he had all this power that he had why didn't he mandate veganism if he
were a Vegan or a vegetarian?
do you know that Himmler the guy that constructed all the gas chambers was a chicken farmer?
He wasn't running to slaughter Jews because I had another idea complete another idea two of his biographers Albert Speer and Robert Payne
Talked about Hitler's love for liver dumplings and pigeon which is known as squab his main chef dion Lucas wrote a book in
1964 the Gourmet school cooking book and she wrote his favorite recipes which were all meat based recipes
This is the power of Propaganda the power of Gurbles still alive and well. Do you know why people think Hitler was veg?
Gurbles wanted to make Hitler seem as peaceful as somebody else in the world at that
Time who was loved and adored and his name was Mohandas Gandhi and Gandhi was vegetarian and Gurbles was "Wait! Hitler is just like Gandhi!
He loves animals too!" And he's peaceful to the animals and he's a vegetarian he's not and just so you know all the
Concentration camps did have animal slaughterhouses there, too
and when the allied forces came in to rescue the jews and the gypsies
They left the animals behind this is why I call this the world's largest and longest-running
Holocaust the animal holocaust was happening long before the Jewish holocaust during the Jewish holocaust and it's still happening today
Every second just so you know of every minute of every hour of every day
Female animals are raped to impregnate them every second animals are being killed every
60 billion animals every year do you accept or do you understand or the people are calling you terrorists sure?
What else are they Gonna? Call me?
you couldn't sleep at night if they call me a compassionate human being because I'm calling them out and
As we go back in time and look at all the other people that we adore now collectively we all agree Gandhi and Dr.
Martin Luther King and all these people Rosa parks and Cesar
Chavez you know they were not loved during their time they were despised. They wanted to make change massive change. It's only later on
That a society looks back at revolutionary activists and says oh
Man, he was great. He was just trying to break bring peace and justice. I'm trying to bring compassion this world
It's amazing that I'm called a terrorist, and if I'm called a terrorist for saving animals
What do we call people that kill animals and torture animals and eat animals?
One last thing before we have 30 20 seconds. What did you have for lunch?
I had a vegan schnitzel and a vegan burger from the Vegan Shwarma place in town my favorite restaurant
Vegan Stencil Vegan Shwarma Vegan Schnitzel a Vegan Hamburger
