The 2012 Veracruz murder of journalists is about the disappearance, murder and dismemberment of three journalists and a woman who worked in public relations whose bodies were discovered in Boca del Río, Veracruz, Mexico.[1][2] Their bodies were recovered from a canal on World Press Freedom Day, or 3 May 2012, and showed signs of torture and mutilation, which prompted calls for investigations into links with organized crime. The gruesome murder followed other murders of members of the press in the Veracruz area and during the Mexican drug war, and highlighted the danger for working journalists.[3]

Hey there, I'm going to be breaking my cardinal rule for this video. As you may know all of the Bite Size Vegan Nugget videos are 5 minutes or less. This video is obviously more than 5 minutes. But I hope you know that I would not break this rule if it wasn't for something really important. And this video definitely qualifies. If you don't already know him I want to introduce you to my friend and mentor Gary Yourofsky. Gary is a rock star of the vegan activism movement. He travels around the world, giving speeches at schools and universities about vegan-ism. And Gary has veganised literally thousands upon thousands of people. The following video is actually a newer version of Gary's speech, and it's shorter than the original. So it really is kind of bite sized. Now even if you're already vegan, I really urge you to take a moment and watch this video. I personally have gotten so much of my inspiration for my activism through Gary's work. At the end of this video there is a link to a Q&A session that Gary held directly after the speech. So hop on over there when you're done with this one. Now sit back relax and let the education wash over you. Okay, I'm going to take you guys on a journey today. And like all journeys in life there's going to be ups and downs, high and lows. You're going to like certain parts and then dislike other parts. In other words you will love me and hate me today all at once. But if you listen with an open mind I promise at the end of this speech the love will outweigh the hate. The first 30 minutes will be very intense. I'm going to make you feel angry, frustrated and guilty. Fortunately the last 15 minutes will be like a comedy roast.  So we're going to laugh and giggle and you guys are getting roasted by the way. So I'm going to speak for around 45 minutes. And then we will do a Q&A session after. So hold your questions until the end. Right now I want you to think about how you would feel if the moment you were born, someone else had already planned the day of your execution. Because that's what it's like to be a the cow, a pig, a chicken or a turkey on this planet. They're not born free, they're born to be murdered even though freedom is supposed to be a birthright. A God given right. I mean no God would be a slave master, a torturer and a killer of his animals, his babies. If he was, then he wouldn't be God. He would be the devil. If that statement shocks you or brings up feelings of animosity towards me, the problem isn't with me and what I just said. The problem is that humans have victimized animals to such a degree, that they aren't even considered victims. They aren't even considered at all. They're nothing they don't count, they don't matter. They're commodities like TV sets and cell phones. We have actually turned animals into inanimate objects. Sandwiches and shoes, it is the greatest magic trick ever performed, the animation switch. And besides the money made from selling their flesh, and skin, and the things that come out of their bodies, there isn't even decent value on them as in an inanimate objects. The American flag for example, which is nothing but a piece of fabric. The Bible, which is nothing but a book comprised of ink and paper, stir up more emotions than the murder of animals. If there were a barbecue near campus today, and if people were cooking up steaks and hamburgers, man there'd be a party. People would actually celebrate the cow who was killed, the person who killed the cow, and the chef that seasoned her dead body. But if someone poured gasoline on the flag or a Bible, struck a match and set it on fire, Lord have mercy there would be an angry mob ready to kill somebody. These lifeless, inanimate objects, the flag and the Bible, are more sacred than animals? Living, feeling breathing beings. Animals are victims. The most oppressed ever. And if you're having a tough time grasping this fact, maybe it's because the only time you ever come into contact with cows and chickens and turkeys is when they're cut up and cooked on your dinner table. So good afternoon everybody, my name is Gary Yourofsky. I'm a vegan animal liberation activist. I am not a politician, and I'm not a salesperson. That means I've got no lies to tell you and no books and no DVDs to sell you. Before I continue I want to define the word vegan for everybody, V E G A N. Vegans, just like vegetarians, do not consume the meat of any land or marine animal. Vegans however, unlike vegetarians, also refrain from eating cheese, milk, eggs, honey, any animal product whatsoever. We also don't wear animal skin. No fur, leather, wool, silk or down. I want to let you know that I was not raised vegan. I ate meat, cheese, milk and eggs for around 25 years. And like most people I always thought that I cared about animals because I love dogs and cats. Or chipmunks and squirrels. Until one day after seeing some animals backstage in a circus, chained up and caged up, I not only realized that I was witnessing a slave show, I realized I was a hypocrite. A bigot. A speciesist. Just like a racist who believes that their race is more special and more important than all the other races. As speciesist believes that humans are more special and more important than all animals, and therefore have the right to enslave and kill any species they choose. But if you honestly place yourself in the animal's position, looking at this issue from the victim’s point of view, being denied your freedom and the right to live a long healthy life. And imagine yourself confined in a concentration camp truck on your way to a slaughterhouse so someone can slice your throat and cut you up into pieces. I am pretty sure you would understand why the psychotic addictions of meat, cheese, milk and eggs must be abolished. If you eat animals and the things that come out of animals you are intentionally causing pain and suffering, and polluting your soul with the blood of innocent beings. Humanity's main focus should always be extending compassion to others. Not engaging in rituals and traditions that are based on cruelty. There is a massacre taking place right now. It's the world's largest and longest running massacre of all time, because every second, of every minute, of every hour, of every day, female animals are raped to impregnate them. So we can steal their babies, separate families from each other, so we can kill them and sell their flesh and skin. If that's not the definition of injustice, of an atrocity, then I would like to know what is. You do realize that if you went to the nearest cow or chicken slaughterhouse, and remove the animals, and then replace them with human beings, all of a sudden it's a tragedy. Auschwitz is resurrected, slave ships sail again. And don't think I'm the first person to make these valid comparisons. Civil rights activist Dick Gregory once said "When I look at animals, held captive by circuses, I think of slavery." Animals in circuses represent represent domination and oppression. They wear the same chains and shackles. Isaac Bashevis-Singer, who escaped Nazi occupied Poland, once condemned our speciesistic world when he said "What do they know? All these scholars, all these philosophers, all the leaders of the world. They have convinced themselves that man, the worst transgressor of all the species, is the crown of creation. And all the animals were made for us to be food and pelts. To be tormented and exterminated. In relation to animals, all humans are Nazis. For the animals it is an eternal Treblinka." Now I know these statements sound pretty harsh and controversial to you, but that doesn't mean they aren't true. The fact that anyone would fight against vegan-ism, against animal liberation which means you are against compassion, just proves how completely irrational meat, dairy and egg eaters can be. Vegans are only asking you to change what you eat, not who you are. Stay Jewish, Christian or Catholic. Stay Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, atheist, agnostic, stay left or right in politics. If you honestly place yourself in the animal’s position, there is no way you can justify the things that we do to them, and walk away from today's speech saying that you don't care. The ethical compass that most people use to gauge right from wrong is the golden rule. Do unto others, as you would have others do unto you. Since no one in this room wants to be treated the way we treat cows, pigs, chickens and turkeys and fish, there's no need to search for an excuse today not to be vegan. 60 billion land animals, 90 billion marine animals are killed every year on this planet for a sandwich. For addictions of greed and gluttony. What kind of society justifies mass murder? Stop thinking that animals aren't victims, because they aren't human. It's the mindset of the victimizer that's wrong. And this is what needs to be examined and corrected because it never changes no matter who the victim is. Have you noticed it always goes something like this - no you don't count. No you don't matter. No I'm more important than you. I laugh at the suffering I inflict on you. I'll kill you and your family whenever I want however I want. Prove to me why I should be kind to you. It is not your right to deny someone else their freedom and their rights, so you can harm them enslave them and kill them. That's not what rights are about. That's injustice. There is no counter argument to vegan-ism. Accept it. You can't be right all the time. Apologize for the way you have been living, make amends, and evolve, move forward. Now all throughout history there's a pretty good reason why most people, most good people, have always been on the wrong side of what's right. And that's because the truth has never been accepted overnight. It has always had to pass through three stages. First it is mocked and ridiculed. Yeah, people always make fun of something they don't understand especially when it involves being kind to someone else. Second stage, denial and violent opposition. People refuse to believe there's an atrocity taking place, and they fight tooth and nail to keep the status quo as is. Third stage, acceptance. There is no longer need to explain it because we all get it. Now unfortunately it usually takes hundreds, sometimes thousands of years for the truth to pass through these stages. I'm going to try and do it today in around 45 minutes. And in order for the truth to be accepted and understood, we do have to witness the atrocities. The five and a half minute video we're about to watch - that footage was taken throughout America, Britain and Israel. And if you feel the need to turn away or close your eyes during this video, you should probably ask yourself a question. If it is not good enough for my eyes, then why is it good enough for my stomach? And before I press play I have to say something about all this humane meat, humane milk, humane eggs bullshit that's going on in our society right now. That stuff does not exist under any circumstances whatsoever. Even when animals reside in cage free, free range, grass fed, local organic, antibiotic free facilities. By definition alone, slavery and slaughter are radically cruel and can never be humane. So don't be so gullible with slick marketing ads that want to convince you that animals enjoy being on the menu. As if they're all saying "hey stab me, yeah kill me. Sure take everything from me because that's why I'm here, just for you." And if for some reason my foresaid words in this video we're about to watch, aren’t proof enough of the terrorism claims that I am hurling at the meat dairy and egg industries, maybe the dismembered bodies of 150 billion animals annually could count as proof.  (Slideshow of animals) I am forever embarrassed to be a human being. To stand upright like that is something to be proud of. Do you ever wonder why McDonalds and Burger King and Wendy's never use those images in their TV ads? No severed heads, dismembered limbs, corpses, blood, guts? Always showing you a happy, singing, smiling cartoon caricature instead. Lying to you, brainwashing you, and programming you not to care about things you would normally care about, things that you used to care about when you were young innocent and uncorrupted by societies lies. So how come if the animals in that video were dogs and cats, people would be outraged? And if they were kids the world would scream bloody murder. Instead the victims are cows and chickens and fish and all of a sudden it's okay? So I'm a little confused here. Is the slaughterhouse the problem, or is the problem just who's getting killed in the slaughterhouse? Because it's a house of slaughter. Why does it even exist?  Especially when peace begins at the dinner table, with what you put into your body on a daily basis. Good people don't talk about kindness, they practice it. And they certainly don't pray about love on the weekends for an hour or two. They actually give it all the time. I know you have the capability of understanding right from wrong because you all hate people that harm children. Why not hate people who harm animals? It’s hypocritical. Why protect one victim and then violate and ignore the other victim when neither victim wants nor deserves the abuse? They just wish it would end. Stop praising the innocence in children, and then ignoring and making fun of the exact same innocence in animals. And everyone has to stop making these idiotic claims that humans are the only ones who are capable of being rational and aware, and that animals operate on instinct only. Can I explain something to everybody in a pretty simple way? Breathing is instinctive. Everything else is a thought attached to an action. It is not an accident that animals can build a home if given a chance, and return to that home. If they can care for their babies, if they can find shade on a sunny day or seek warm when it’s cold. Figure out when to sleep or stay awake. Locate water to drink. Fly in a V formation. Hide when they don't want to be seen. Defend their territory. All these actions prove beyond a reasonable doubt, that animals have the capacity of being rational and aware. The human animal is the only animal that spends the majority of time not thinking. Eating at Steak and Shake and a Golden Corral, an Applebee’s and Long John Silver's, is not rational thought. But this isn't a competition of intelligence or awareness. This is about justice. When we were kids each and every single one of us, when our parents or grandparents sat us down and read a story, that story was about animals.  And when that story was read to us we smiled and giggled uncontrollably. We even mimic the noises they make, their language. We wanted to play with them so badly, not have someone shove a knife in their throat and cut them up into pieces. What happened to you along the way? Who stole your compassion, your empathy and your conscience? Because they stole mine too, and they got me good. But I got it all back. And that's the only reason I am here today, to try and help you get yours back as well. All I'm asking you to do is something normal and natural. Eat what comes from the earth. What the ground pushes up and what the trees drop down and give us. Every single vitamin, mineral and nutrient that exist's, protein, calcium, iron, potassium, all of the B vitamins they have an original source, and it ain't the animals. I know you're aware that people eat animals after the animals have already eaten things that come from the earth. People eat cows after the cows have eaten up all the grass, some of the soil, then we ship them off to a feed lot, and we feed them most of our corn, wheat, oats and soy. Then we take even more of the corn, the wheat, the oats and the soy, we shove it down the throats of pigs, chickens and turkeys. Stop filtering your nutrients through someone else's body. It’s irrational. Go to those sources directly. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, grains, legumes like lentils. These things cannot harm you. Cannot cause a disease, and most importantly they never intentionally harm anyone else in the process. But when we consume what walks and what flies and what swims, that is abnormal. Where does everybody think diseases come from? Broccol? Asparagus? Blueberries? Strawberries, peaches, nectarines, grapes, bananas, avocados, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers? And I'm well aware that many other factors can lead to a disease. Stress is an absolute killer. So is lack of exercise and lack of sleep, and excessive amounts of empty refined carbohydrates like white rice, white bread, and sugar. But animal products, because of animal protein, remain the main cause of every major disease. Check out the all about veganism section on my adapt.org website. I now have links to more than 50 medical studies proving that veganism by far the healthiest way to live. And let me destroy these lies about B-12 and the hereditary factor for disease. Now first, B-12 comes from bacteria that live in our mouth and intestines. That bacteria also exists in the mouth and the intestines of all the animals and in the soil. So you can let your body produce B-12 naturally which is what we and the animals always do, or you can eat some unwashed organic vegetables once in a while with some dirt still on them like carrots and celery, and get all the B-12 you will ever need. If you check out the vitamin section on my website, I have links to 3 essays written by doctors including John McDougall, one of the world's top medical professionals, who states that vegans have a less than one in a million chance of ever developing a disease from a B-12 deficiency. You can also see my blood work in that section, because I got tired of people saying stuff to me over the years like, "hey Yourofsky bet you got no B-12 levels. You’ve been vegan way too long. I bet your B-12 levels suck." So in October 2012 I went and got everything tested. Your B-12 level is supposed to be between 271 and 870 I checked in at 543. At that time, 16 years vegan now 17 years vegan, still haven't taken one single pill because I don't believe you can find health in a pill. But with this being said, if you decide you want to become vegan today, and I hope everybody does, and your parents or your doctor insist that you take a B-12 supplement, then do it. Who gives a shit, it takes two seconds. I'm not an anti-vitamin activist. I'm an anti-cruelty to animals activist. I'm just trying to give you some good information so you can save yourself 25 bucks on a bottle of pills that you don't even need. And the other myth is that we can't do anything about our health because it's already programmed into our genes. "Hey Gary that's a great speech man but heart disease runs in my family. Breast cancer keeps running in my family." Nonsense, don't you know what runs in people's families? You should by now. Meat, cheese, milk and eggs. It doesn't count as hereditary when our parents and our grandparents and our great grandparents ate the same disgusting unhealthy things that we still eat. Actually that's the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over and always expecting a different result. Baldness is hereditary. You can thank your mom's dad for that. Eye color is in the genes. Cystic fibrosis, down syndrome, that’s in the genes. Heart disease and cancers are not. Now I want to break this down for you even further. I am going to show you exactly who's been lying to you all these years. Because according to the dairy industry itself, the main reasons they exist are so you can get protein and calcium. Now unless you plan on starving yourself to death, which I do not recommend, it's impossible not to get protein. You couldn't even do it if you tried, because every single plant on this planet contains protein. Even fruit is around 5% protein. Vegetables have plenty of protein, nuts and seeds and grains. Beans and lentils by the way, 25% protein. One cup of tempeh, tempeh is a meat-like substance made from fermented soy, 1 cup has more than 30 grams of protein. And the seaweed spirulina, 79% protein. So again unless you're planning on a starvation diet, it's impossible not to get your protein intake for the day. As for calcium, which is abundant in the plant kingdom like every nutrient that exists, that's where nutrients come from. Plants, not from the animals. The best sources of the calcium by the way are almonds, broccoli, parsley and sea vegetables, seaweed. But check out that vitamin section on my website, I now have a detailed list of the best sources for more than 100 nutrients. But the dairy industry boy they love to say eat some cheese, drink some cows milk, strong bones strong body, milk build the body good, happy cows. Got milk? Most people eat dairy products 3 times a day. You can't even get a sandwich anymore without cheese. People put cheese and meat on salads too. And by the way if you're eating a salad with meat and cheese on it, it’s not a salad. Stop that shit it’s a sandwich without the bread all chopped up in little pieces put inside of a bowl. Spare me the chicken salad, tuna salad crap. A salad is comprised of vegetables and plant products only. And if you're lucky enough to find this vegetable only salad somewhere, what's the first thing people have to say to the waiter like an addict? "Hey can I get some ranch or some Thousand Island?" Can you please pour some dairy all over these vegetables for me? So in or society everybody is hooked on dairy. I mean hooked like it's been laced with cocaine and Percocet. Most people can't even fathom one meal, let alone one day or a lifetime without cheese. In fact if you want to know why vegetarians never become vegans, cheese. Cheese on a baked potato, cheese on a broccoli, cheese on everything, and even lactose intolerant people eat cheese. So, we have all these animal products come in to our diets for breakfast, lunch and dinner every single day without exception, snacks too. Did you ever wonder why nearly every other commercial on TV has something to do with pills and illnesses? And why are parents and grandparents having to take multi vitamins every day? And why there's a drug store, drug store, on every street corner pushing vitamins and pharmaceuticals on everybody?  After all we do live in a meat dairy and egg eating world. You think maybe people need pills and people become sick because meat cheese milk and eggs are pure and utter garbage, with very little to no nutritional value whatsoever? And let me mention something quickly about the environment and world hunger, because a lot of people keep telling me that they care more about humans than animals. So they can never become vegan. As if eating some tofu today instead of a hamburger is going to mess up your human rights activities for the day. This is especially puzzling to me in many ways, but mainly because meat, dairy and egg eating societies are the main cause of world hunger. As they continuously feed 50% of the worlds crops, back to 16 billion land animals that we kill in the meat dairy and egg industries every year, and the tens of billions of marine animals that we kill on fish farms every year. Instead of using those crops to feed 7 1/2 billion people. You can do the math on this one yourself, you don't have to be Einstein to figure out this equation. Every 2 to 3 seconds some human on this planet dies from starvation, that's a fact. Here's another fact: chickens, turkeys, pigs and cows, they never miss a meal. Meat, dairy and egg eating is the worst form of human and animal abuse. And when it comes to a pure environmental destruction, air pollution, water pollution, deforestation, nothing competes with animal agriculture. There is no such thing as a meat, dairy or egg eating environmentalist. But check out the two environment sections on my website for more detailed info on that, because I want to spend a little more time right now condemning the dairy industry. Because when it comes to cruelty, I think there's more cruelty in a piece of cheese in a glass of milk, in yogurt, than there is in meat. First of all most hamburger meat comes from the dairy industry. When cows can't produce huge amounts of milk after 3 to 7 years, slaughterhouse. If given a chance, God forbid, cows can live to be 18 to 25. And cows are like all female mammals. And listen I don’t mean to be speaking down to anybody if that's how you're taking this. It's just that when I'm talking to addicts about their addictions, addicts have a tendency to become irrational and illogical. I know you understand this concept, you just never think about it when it comes to the animals. Female mammals can only produce and give milk during or after pregnancy. So once a year every cow on every dairy farm is raped to impregnate her. Long steel device, shove it in her vagina to inject her with bull semen. Sometimes they just use a bare hand to do it. Got to get that milk flow going on somehow. And later on after she gives birth, her newborn baby is stolen away. A couple months later they repeat the process all over again. One of the worst screams I have ever heard, and I've heard them all first hand. I've been to slaughter houses, vivisection labs, behind the scenes of every circus and roto that would pass through Michigan. One of the worst screams I've ever heard, stealing newborn babies from their mothers. And why do they still newborn babies from their mothers? Well the dairy industry can't have calves sucking up all that milk that was meant for them. They would rather sell it to you instead. Every time you have dairy, some calf does not. And mother cows make milk for one reason, for their babies. Case closed forever. No debate, no discussion, the jury is in. They certainly don't make milk for baby elephants and baby orangutans, and baby hedgehogs, baby rabbits, baby rats, baby humans, adolescent humans or adult humans. This body of ours has absolutely no need for cow milk like it has absolutely no need for giraffe milk. And zebra milk, and rhinoceros milk, and hippopotamus milk, camel milk, goat milk, horse milk, pig milk, dog milk, or cat milk. The only milk that we ever need comes from our own mother. Our species that’s it. And after the first few years of life, we never need one drop ever again. But if you want to include some kind of milk in your diet like I do, it is finally time for some good news. Because I can see it on some of your faces, I can sense it in the room. You're like damn did you drive all the way from Michigan to New York to verbally abuse us? Lighten up man. Actually I came here today to show you what you've been missing, because everyone's got those blinders on nice and tight. Everything you like to eat and drink, the taste, the smell, and the texture, we've got a vegan version for you. It’s been vegan-ised. There is soy milk, rice milk, almond milk, hemp milk, coconut milk, oat milk, hazel nut milk, sunflower milk and flax milk. You can mimic the taste and texture of meat with tofu and tempeh and seitan. Plus we’ve got all those vegan meats made from plant products, not from chemicals. What about ethnic food? Middle Eastern food. Falafel, tabouli, hummus, lentil soup. Asian food, stir fried vegetables and tofu. Just remember when ordering Asian dishes, always order those dishes without fish sauce added to it. Indian food. Aloo gobi. It’s cauliflower, potatoes and curry, it's delicious. Chana masala, chickpeas and tomatoes. Mexican food, rice and beans and guacamole. Italian food, pasta, spaghetti and pizza's, without cheese. Bet you've got a cool place in town and New York has many, that have vegan cheese on the menu. Ethiopian food, split peas and lentils. Check out my website for tips on what to eat and where to eat. I have a restaurant section, I have a recipe section, I have a veg shopping guide and an athlete section too. And don't think I don't want your faces when I’m up here, that's what I do I'm preaching. I’m watching all of your expressions. How come when I talk about tofu and pizzas without cheese, boy catch a couple people in every classroom start to wrinkle up their nose's a little. Eyes get a little wide and bulgy start glancing around the room with your friends like, tofu? Is this guy crazy? Tempe? He must be out of his mind. What the hell is seitan. Seitan by the way not Satan, Seitan. It is a wheat meat. It is meat it is made from wheat. So how come tofu, and even fruits and veggies are considered gross to most people, but meat, time to break meat down for everybody. You've got five components to meat. Blood, flesh, veins, muscles and tendons. The cut up corpse of a dismembered body. How does meat not qualify as disgusting and gross to everybody? How in the world is a liquid, a liquid that oozes out of a cows udder, a secretion that is loaded with pus that drips from an animal's body, how is this not considered gross? Oh and let me tell you about the pus in the cow’s milk it would be my pleasure. When you hook machines up to the udders of cows three times a day to suck them dry, those machines cause massive amounts of infections and irritations on the inside and outside the udder. Then when you add all of the bovine growth hormone, and all the genetic engineering that's been done to a cow's body to make sure she produces huge amounts of milk which always leads to another infection, the machine doesn't know what not to suck out. Pus and mucus and infections right into the milk. And yes milk is pasteurized, but exactly when did pasteurization become a removal process? Last time I checked it was a sanitation process. Meaning you are only sanitizing pus. And if you want to look this up online, well you don't think the dairy industry would ever use the word pus, when they write about this problem in their own trade journals do you? No, they are going to deceive you again. Look up the scientific term for pus. Somatic cell count, S O M A T I C. Oh and let's talk about some other disgusting thing that you guys love to eat. Did you know that the backside of a bird is called a cloaca? C L O A C A. It was the opening scene in the video. We can pop that back in if you want to see it. It's one hole. It is one hole, but it serves many purposes. It's the poop hole, it's the pee hole, it's the vaginal fluid hole, and it’s the hole where your omelets and scrambled eggs come from. Yea I remember back in the day I used to love my scrambled eggs with shit sprinkled, urine splattering goo juice all over it too. Because you know when you crack shell over the bowl, all those microscopic particles fly every which way. And if you guys think it’s normal and natural to eat something that has been marinating in feces and urine for hours and hours, I've got a brand new challenge for everybody. I always like to have a new challenge every single semester. It's the egg challenge. When you get home from school later today, I want you to go to the bathroom. Fill her up every day, don't flush though. Then I want you to stroll on over to the kitchen, open up the fridge, grab yourself an egg, take it back to the toilet, drop it in. If you even have the courage to stick your hand in there and grab it back out, and you can wash it when you're done, bleach it do whatever you want to it. Are you still going to want to eat it? And that's your own shit. That's your waste. Now you're talking about a hen and you don't even know her butthole? And what about vomit? Come on you guys love vomit. You adore some vomit in on and all over your food. Better give this one a pretty name. No no one's going to want to buy and eat vomit, unless we call it honey instead. Honey comes directly from a bee's stomach. It's regurgitated right through a bee's mouth. You can look that up with any wildlife biologist. But nobody wants to eat bee vomit nut Cheerios, we want Honey Nut Cheerios so we lie to ourselves and play euphemism games. The standard diet of a meat, dairy, and egg eater is blood, flesh, veins muscles, tendons cow secretions, things that come out of a hen's ass and bee vomit. And we're not done yet, I'm not going to let you off the hook that easy while I got you here today. Because we top it all off in my opinion, because every single year when people start cooking turkeys for the holidays. People take a dead turkey, carve out a really big hole in that dead turkey's ass, take some stuffing, and shove it inside their dead empty ass, and use their little dead ass as an oven to bake some bread. Somebody else’s dead empty bacterial laying ass to make bread? Ass bread? And people think vegans are weird because we eat tofu? I tell people one of my favorite meals nowadays, yams and barley. Hook me up with some yams and barley for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and I'm a happy guy. Most people, I told them this and they are like, "what? You just eat vegetables and grains for dinner? Yeah I don't know man that's kind of weird." Okay but somebody else's rib cage sitting on your plate, that's not weird? Severed legs, sliced up thighs and mutilated breasts on your plate isn't weird and doesn't make you think twice? Is bestiality weird to anybody? Doing sexual things with animals? Because I used to think everybody thought so but not even close my meat, cheese, milk, eggs, loving friends. Because you engage in carnivorous bestiality on a daily basis. Sometimes multiple times a day. You eat things that come out of a hen's ass and shove things into a turkey's ass. You eat breast, legs, and thighs, and then you pay somebody else to sexually molest a cow and squeeze her nipples for you so you can steal her milk? Man you guys are obsessed with bird asses and cow tits, enough already. Seriously. Is it possible to step into the 21st century and stop mimicking the behavior of cavemen and cavewomen? You've got a choice today .When you leave this room you can choose to become radically kind. To never intentionally harm another animal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner ever again. These animals have never violated you, or taken advantage of you in any way. The least you can do is return the favor. Or stay radically cruel. Keep the status quo as is. Make sure animals have their babies stolen from them. Make sure their horns are cut off, beaks sliced off, testicles ripped out. Make sure they're raped. Make sure they never experience one drop of human kindness, and make sure there is a knife in their throat every second, of every minute, of every hour, of every day, for eternity. I hope you make the right choice. Isn't it rough enough being an animal on this planet with us around? Because we claim everything for us? The land is ours. We pollute the air, the water, destroy the forest and the mountains. Do we have to maximize the cruelty that they already endure by eating them on top of it all? You wanna talk about pouring salt into somebody else's wounds. 98%, and I want to leave you with this stat, 98% of animals who are abused and killed on this planet, are abused and killed by the meat, dairy, and egg industries. The least we can do is minimize the cruelty by living a vegan lifestyle. I want to thank you guys for listening, I do appreciate the open minds I saw out there today. Let's do some Q&A right now, I think we still have about 15 minutes for a Q&A session.

Background

El Programa de Agravios a Periodistas y Defensores Civiles reported 580 incidents affecting the media from 2005 to May 2012, including 79 homicides, 14 missing journalists, and 26 recorded threats.[4] The number of reported incidents in Mexico has steadily increased over past years, reaching number eight in the Committee to Protect Journalists'(CPJ) impunity index.[5] Veracruz is well known for the Sinaloa and Zetas drug cartels. These two cartels fight for control of Boca del Río, Veracruz, making it one of the most dangerous Mexican states for the press. In a year and a half, six journalists were reported dead from this area.[6] The murders of Luna, Huge, Rodríguez, and Becerra brought the total to ten reported deaths.

Guillermo Luna Varela worked for Notiver in Veracruz, Veracruz and was colleagues with two other murdered journalists, Miguel Ángel López Velasco and Yolanda Ordaz de la Cruz.

On World Press Freedom Day, the bodies of Guillermo Luna Varela, Gabriel Huge Córdova, and Esteban Rodríguez, three photojournalists, were recovered from La Zamorana canal in Boca del Río. After not returning from covering a road incident, the families of Guillermo Luna and Gabriel Huge reported them missing.[7] Police found the dismembered bodies of Luna and Huge in a black plastic bag. They also recovered the bodies of Rodríguez and Irasema Becerra. Becerra and Luna were in a relationship, and she worked for a local newspaper firm.

Journalists involved

Guillermo Luna Varela

Luna was a photographer who worked for Notiver and covered police-related stories. Six months prior to his death, he worked for the website Veracruznews, Voz del Sureste, and El Díario de Cardel. His police beat was in Xalapa and Boca del Río in Veracruz. His body was found in Boca del Río alongside his uncle, Huge, and also showed signs of torture. Luna was reported missing a day earlier by his family after not returning from covering a road accident.[8]

Gabriel Huge Córdoba

Huge's body displayed signs of torture and was found in a black bag with Luna, his nephew. He worked at Notiver as a photographer and he also worked for a radio station in Poza Rica. After three journalists of The Notiver were murdered the previous year, Huge fled from the city. When he returned, he worked as a freelancer. He disappeared on a Wednesday with Luna while covering a traffic incident.[9]

Esteban Rodríguez Rodríguez

Rodríguez was a retired photojournalist and reporter who worked for the Diario AZ. He became a welder after his retirement. After the murder of fellow journalists at The Notiver, Rodríguez temporarily fled the state and retired, returning to Veracruz to work as a welder.[4]

Ana Irasema Becerra Jiménez

A fourth body was later identified as Becerra, Luna's companion. While she was not a journalist, she worked for a local paper in public relations.

Investigation

On Monday, 13 August, the Mexican Navy began to crack the case. "The Mexican Navy announced Monday that a man suspected of being a member of a drug gang had been captured while carrying the identification cards of a recently slain newspaper employee in the state of Veracruz. The authorities link the suspect, Juan Carlos Hernández Pulido, whom they captured Friday, to the killing of the newspaper employee, Irasema Becerra. Her dismembered remains were found in May along with those of three photojournalists."[10][11]

Authorities searched the vehicle of Hernández, also known as "Bertha", when a suspicious individual was reported in a parking lot. In his vehicle, they found more than 150 bags of cocaine and marijuana, which he sold alongside illegal firearms. They also found documents and an ID belonging to Becerra, linking him to the Boca Del Rio homicide. He is accused of working for the Jalisco drug cartel as a hired murderer.[10] Hernández was not working alone.

Veracruz authorities closed the case 15 August and claimed members of a drug gang confessed to the murders. Some uncertainty about the finality of the case was presented. "But as soon as the arrests were announced on Wednesday, questions began to surface, beginning with the most obvious one. Why would the seven suspects, picked up on drug and weapons charges, spontaneously admit to far more serious crimes, in this case four brutal killings?"[12][13] Nine journalists in the last 18 months have focused attention on the investigations in Veracruz.

Further investigation, along with coincidence, linked several other cases of homicide among journalists and their families. These linked cases are not linked to the Veracruz murder by perpetrator, but by similarities in the brutality of the homicides. The following are related homicide cases:

  • Regina Martínez Pérez, journalist found strangled in her home in Xalapa, Veracruz on 28 April, Saturday. She was considered a muckraker on drug cartels and worked as a correspondent for the magazine Proceso.
  • Yolanda Ordaz de la Cruz, partner reporter to Córdova, found decapitated after her abduction by armed men outside her house. A note was found on her body, further linking her to Miguel Ángel López Velasco.[14]
  • Miguel Ángel López Velasco, a columnist, was murdered alongside his wife and son, a photographer, and found on 20 June. A traffic cop, Juan Carlos Carranza Saavedra, was a suspect in their deaths.[14]

Impact

The murders of Luna, Huge, Rodríguez and Becerra heightened awareness of the dangers for journalists in the Veracruz area. Officials and organizations recognize the need to combat the violence of growing drug cartels. Efforts are made to further increase awareness, especially with outrage from UNESCO, Article 19, and other groups focused on the rights and safety of journalists.

Reactions

Irina Bokova, director-general of UNESCO, expressed her concerned about the deaths of journalists in the Veracruz area. "News of the murders of Gabriel Huge and Guillermo Luna Varela – tortured and killed less than one week after the assassination of Regina Martínez Pérez – is deeply disturbing, and reflects an alarming state of affairs in the state of Veracruz," she said.[6]

The bodies of the Boca Del Rio journalists were found nearing World Press Freedom Day. Bokova said, “That these gruesome crimes have been committed on the eve of World Press Freedom Day – a day on which we honour the vital role played by journalists in upholding democratic values, protecting citizens’ rights to be informed and calling those in power to account – makes the situation all the more intolerable."[6]

Bokova continued in the statement to say, “I condemn these three murders in the strongest possible terms and urge the Mexican authorities to act quickly and decisively to find those responsible. Impunity is not an option."

Article 19, a group focused on the freedom of expression and information, expressed their outrage of the Boca del Rio incident, "--the Mexican authorities have consistently failed to fulfill their international obligations to guarantee the free exercise of freedom of expression and the mechanisms currently in place do not address the central problem, which is the impunity that follows these crimes."[7] They also said the authorities of Veracruz did not take the necessary steps in resolving the case.
