Earthling Ed (Ed Winters; birth name is Edward Gaunt) is a UK-based animal rights activist and educator. He is co-founder of Surge,[1] which organizes The Official Animal Rights March, and runs a popular YouTube channel under the moniker Earthling Ed.
He also runs The Disclosure Podcast,[2][3] in which he interviews both vegans and ideological opponents. He has appeared on national news outlets, such as BBC, speaking about veganism.[4][5][6]
Activism
[edit]His activism involves speaking tours at universities, as well as Socratic-style discussions with ordinary people.[7][8] In 2019 he gave two TEDx talks about veganism.[9]
Earthling Ed focuses much of his activism engaging in open conversation with non-vegans.[10][11] He has also done exposé work on animal agriculture, including filmed protests at farms and a 2017 documentary Land of Hope and Glory.[12] At the time of writing (2024), he has over 435,000 subscribers on YouTube.[13][14][15]
Personal life
[edit]Winters turned vegetarian in May 2014 after coming across a news article about a chicken truck crashing near Manchester.[16][17] Upon reading that many of the birds had died, he realized "the animals we eat have the capacity to suffer, and therefore they wish to live a life free from suffering."[18] He then became vegan in 2015[19][20] after watching the documentary Earthlings.[21]
Books
[edit]Earthling Ed has written two books:
- This Is Vegan Propaganda: (And Other Lies the Meat Industry Tells You) (2022) ISBN 978-1785044243[22]
- How to Argue with a Meat Eater (and win every time) (2023) ISBN 978-1785044489[22]
