像物產的對待他們 在許多情況下奴役他們

and in many other cases they murder them with premeditation, and without penalty.

和在許多其他情況下 沒有刑罰地預謀殺害他們

And understand something essential about discrimination!

It is NEVER OK to be picking and choosing which forms of discrimination to be opposed to...

And which ones to say are evil: Racism...

We cannot have this one both ways, it doesn't work like that.

I want to ask you, to use some empathy right now.

我想你們現在運用一點移情心

And when I say 'empathy', what I'm saying is: place yourself in the position of the animals,

當我說"移情"我的意思是: 將自己的立場和動物的作個換位思考

and start to view this issue from the animals' point of view.
