What a great conversation! I think it makes such a difference when "known" people are openly vegan and share the animal rights message, reaching so many. Thank you!
6:10 you are fighting against a global market that feeds human beings on a scale of 8.2 billion and is not prepared for change on your time line. For thousands of years humans have been domesticating animals to consume flora and byproducts/ wastes unfit for human consumption and convert that into food for humans. Just because you are able to buy vegan burgers at your local super market, doesn’t mean that the livestock in your local area aren’t being shipped out to a country that doesn’t have the soil fertility to produce enough food resources
…..people feel threatened that they don't have ,,freedom,, to kill animals????…..I guess they do……..that's absolutely bizarre for me…
Great conversation. I agree with everything that was said.
Vegan is not a diet it is a philosophy.
You can't be a part time vegan, you are either against animal cruelty or you are not.
If you can't commit to being vegan then it's best to describe yourself as eating a Whole food plant based diet.
Whole food all plant diet is the best.
My cat eats Evolution vegan non GMO food, he is thriving on it, I highly recommend it.
I think people react the way they do to vegans because we are holding up a mirror to them and they don't like what they see so they want us to go away !
I wish someone had told me about The animal Holocaust,found out about by accident.
The human species has very little to be proud of at this point in time.
William Inge wrote "we have enslaved the rest of the Animal creation and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond a doubt if they were able to formulate a religion they would depict the devil in human form.
If you are vegan don't remain silent,let people know what is going on,let them know how the animals are suffering in the factory farms, I wish someone had told me.
No excuse for animal abuse !!
I loved this conversation 💗 so thoughtful and insightful
This is kind of ironic because for almost a decade he played a “vegan” vampire haha! He didn’t consume human blood because he found it unethical but, if he did consume would lose control and become a ripper (vampire that loses control due to unquenchable thirst). Paul seems like a good guy lots of different projects , writing and producing, still have yet to try their bourbon -Brothers Bond bourbon with Ian Somerhalder his screen vamp brother❤
My family went vegan when I was 6. It was always easy for me because as a kid I didn’t like milk, eggs,hated the gross iron fiberouse texture that’s left in your mouth after chewing meat. And didnt like the smell of cheese and oils! When I was older and we started eating more vegetarian the dairy grossed me out but I would find ways to tolerate it and ways I could MAKE myself like it. Once I started going to public school and eating more school lunch I gained weight and was sick. I ate foods because my friends did. By the time I was 17 I went fully vegan and went back to a healthy weight, hormones balanced and my athletic abilities went WAY up! I allowed myself to be in touch with how disturbing I found animal consumption and OWNED it!
LOVE Paul Wesley here (never knew of him! ❤️✌️), but Robbie, you’re dead wrong that we shouldn’t “push ppl towards veganism”, but rather just “show them the way”… Clearly you don’t understand the role and impact that various forms of activism has on social change. (edit: and how ineffective “showing them the way” can often be) Really disappointed to hear you say this…
There are no such things as "rights" human or otherwise.
I wonder what a vegan activist would do if they had become an Immortal Vampire 🧛🌱
Great interview that covers so many difficult subjects for vegans, for example pet food.
Having HSV type 1&2 is not the end of life, I got cured after using DR ALAHO OLU on YouTube herbal supplement. He cures HPV too.
when was the filmed please??
I'm a big fan of Vampire Diaries now even more so
I was always a fan, but now I am a HUGE fan. It's not easy being vegan with a majority of the population that just doesn't want to understand. I have so much respect for him being in the spotlight and wanting to influence people for the good of the animals, people, and planet. All of us vegans have that responsibility even if we can influence 1 person. Love this!
What a super gratifying conversation!
Paul is a very nice, clever and friendly person, thanks for sharing
THROUGH THEIR EYES
by Vivian Chinelli

I look at suffering through the animal's eyes.
It's not about me or not about you or how we feel or what we do.
It's seeing things from their point of view that keeps me being vegan.
THREE MEALS
By Vivian Chinelli
September 9, 2022
This morning he ate his pig and said, "She was a yummy meal, of course!"
For lunch, he plans to eat his dog and for dinner, he'll eat his horse.
He will say, "I need them for protein. Plus I gave them a good life," and yet, you probably disagree with Meal 2 and Meal 3, and are outraged by those choices, I bet.
But a pig is a dog, is
a horse, is a child. And we all feel joy and sadness.
So be vegan and see the connection between us. Let's work to end all this madness.
As far as lab grown meat is concerned from what I have seen online at the moment is far from being cruelty free it is absolutely horrendous and barbaric.The more people that go vegan the better,we need to think of the suffering of these poor animals
All the best to both of you 🌱🌱💖💖
What a treasure of a human.
Vegan activists don’t have a logical plan to feed 8.2 billion people. With millions of people starving in north Ethiopia and Eastern Europe due to war. This is a war on food security that would create intentional starvation. Anthropomorphism is a serious mental illness that is trying to embed into our global politics
i relate to how he feels about when you bring up the word vegan to friends or anyone they do get offended…ive been vegan 2 years and i love it!! 😊
An excellent interview, thank you for making it.
Actually since most people are vegetables, vampires are vegan.
Omg I didn’t know you had a podcast!!!! Yay!! 🎉❤
The recipe for one of Bramble's (25+ year-old vegan dog) regular meals is in Dr. Pitcairn's "Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats." Dr Pitcairn's guide is a well-known book on holistic vet care. Interestingly the latest edition included recipes and information on vegan feeding, and now a lot of non-vegans are angry about the change.
This interview is very relatable, almost therapeutic. I think want to be a large animal vet, but in order to do that I would have to use discarded animals for training, which depending on what the situation was for them I may or may not be okay with, but I’d also have to do many other things like learn how to slaughter an animal. There’s also this training cow that each student gets. I’d have to inseminate them, birth and separate the calf, take the mother’s milk, take tests on when to stop milking, how to increase milk production, when to slaughter etc, and then my cow would get auctioned off and killed or eventually get killed. There are many other things too. So many questions in my head. Is it worth it? I want to work at a farm sanctuary I don’t need to know how to slaughter an animal or farm them for their milk, but then by doing these horrid things it would allow me to help animals and sanctuaries. But then again I could be a caregiver or something. But then again i know how much the veterinarian shortage is affecting the animals. Idk idk idk. It keeps me up at night. On a more selfish note, how could I live with myself knowing I did that to an animal? Idk..
Yes ofc as long as he consumes human blood yes he can be vegan.
The best podcast I´ve ever heard.

So truee
Paul is my favorite vampire and now I love him more 😍
I've always been a huge fan of Paul, and the fact that he's vegan is so amazing! I wish more celebrities were like him. Love how he recognises the speciesism and is so focused on animal rights. Great interview, although I disagree with the host that 'showing people' is the best advocacy. I followed Earthling Ed for years but stayed a non-vegan. I hated 'preachy vegans', but then I saw Gary Yourofsky's speech. I was angry at first, then realised how hypocritical I was. That initial stubbornness does go away, and just because people are angry doesn't mean they'll never change. Focusing on the health/environmental aspect might make it easier for people to listen, but animal rights is what veganism is about. If we don't treat it like an urgent moral issue, people don't take it seriously
Can u stop pretending to care abt animals if u support peta?? They literally euthanize almost all of their rescues.
If ur truly vegan don't support peta!!!
So poetic that the actor of Stefan, a 'vegan' vampire', goes vegan in his real life.
This is BIG win my mother basically worship this dude always watching vampire dairy if she realizes Paul is vegan she will be fully done. She already is near edge vegan but rarely eating because others put meat in front of her. But if she has to be reminded everyday that her dream man is now vegan oh yes that should do it.
