Whether you hunt and slaughter your own meat or won’t eat anything that casts a shadow, this is the most life-affirming video on Reddit today and you should watch it.
See, little Luiz Antonio just realized that the octopus he’s eating is “real” and it doesn’t have a head because a man at the market chopped it off and killed the octopus so he could eat it. He doesn’t like that. He likes when they are “standing up” and not lying cut up into pieces on his place and he’s just not going to eat it anymore. Watch this rare moment in humanity.
Dangerous Minds is right — redditor Phormicidae sums it up about right:
His philosophy is based solely on an emotional desire. What’s so touching is such deep compassion forming so early.
Here’s the original video. It was translated and subtitled with the original poster’s permission.
Powerful viddy. Makes a relapsed carnivore feel bad, you know? I need to watch some BBC Earth and realize it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok, animals eat animals.
I sorry to say this video is wrongly used , marina is trying to use this child to promote her ideology whose is wrong, really wrong! Small children doñt have understand between difference between Fish , cows, pigs , chicken , birds etc….. I believe that the child was playing with animal figures,coulorful , nicely made , playing with animals and then when this brasilian mother has made octpus and the child compares his food with the playing animal , then OF COURSE YOU DON´T EAT THAT !! You are not going to eat a colourful bird like parrot ! Doñt you ? a smiling pig toy where in real life pigs does not smile ! … Sorry but that´s my opinion!
Pigs don't smile because of people like you.
Your opinion sucks, lighten up you internet retard.
In his book Long of Life, Honey in the Heart, Martin Pretchel writes of the Mayan people and their concept of kas-limaal, which translates roughly as "mutual indebtedness, mutual insparkedness." "The knowledge that every animal, plant, person, wind, and season is indebted to the fruit of everything else is an adult knowledge. To get out of debt means you don't want to be part of life, and you don't want to grow into an adult," one of the elders explains to Pretchel. — from Lierre Keith's "The Vegetarian Myth." Read it.
Great theory. But Marina eats meat. Try again?
Yup. "relapsed carnivore"
Peace!

What a special child and caring for living creatures is always a gift for all ages. Cruelity is unacceptable in any form…….
