00:06you see the animals have existed since long before us so we are actually nobody
00:14to grant them rights right when we say animal rights it sounds like a matter
00:21pertaining to animals it sounds like animals problem they were here since
00:28billions of years mankind the human being as we know the thinking animal has been
00:35here only since some 50 70 thousand years we were not there at all so their
00:41rights are existential because they exist they have rights and they will never
00:46assert or proclaim their rights the question then is not about animals the
00:51question is about the human being who is exploitative and violent and is violent
00:57not just towards animals but towards everything on the planet and in the
01:03universe including the self the body the mind everything the wife the kid the pet
01:11the nation the environment everything and everybody animals rights should will have
01:17to be seen in context of the one who who violates their rights if the violator is
01:24not there animals do not need rights against each other do they animals also
01:30don't need rights against the weather the climate the river the hill animals need
01:35no rights at all so the discussion must shift to man not animals the discussion
01:43must bring the spotlight on man and man mean humans including women why is man so
01:50violent and what is it that is that is special among in the in the homo sapiens not the
01:57elbow not the lip not the nose not the hair we share all these with animals so
02:02what is it that that makes us special and therefore so violent that's the thing
02:09called the ego and that is what the entire corpus of wisdom literature seeks to
02:14address right what is this ego why is it never satisfied and because it is never
02:20satisfied with what it has it always wants more and more and more and that
02:24implies exploitation we exploit everything and everybody and if the
02:30other one is weak how are you not exploiting animals just being vegan is no
02:36guarantee that you are not violent right the ego is intrinsically violent and once
02:42that is taken care of no rights are needed because what will prevail is a is a
02:47simple harmony and that simple harmony can be called as love and in an
02:52environment of love nobody wants to proclaim rights
