TODAY'S VIDEO:

I couldn’t quite believe what I was hearing when Martin Kennedy, the Director of the National Farmers’ Union of Scotland, blatantly lied on television, stating that the standard practices I had just described didn’t happen in the UK. It’s hardly surprising that he would feel the need to lie, considering that what we do to animals is so horrific, a point made by the presenter. Interestingly, after I called Martin out for lying, he then backtracked on his statement, claiming that he didn’t actually say what he had said and that instead he had said that what happens to animals is not brutal and is done in their best interest. A slight 180 from him agreeing that what happens to animals is horrific.

Unfortunately, lying is something that animal farmers are used to doing. In fact, Martin made many outlandish claims that were simply untrue throughout the whole segment. The problem animal farmers find themselves in is that the truth is not what they want it to be, and if they were to accept the truth they would then need to acknowledge the harm and damage their industries cause and then change as a result. So instead, it’s easier for them to ignore the reality of what they do and then lie in the hope that they can spread enough disinformation to confuse and gaslight consumers.
