The human body is no match for the sheer power of a large tractor-trailer, a vehicle designed to transport heavy loads over long distances. These vehicles feature powerful Cummins diesel engines that can generate enough torque to haul tons of cargo. When compared to the average weight of a human being, typically between 130 and 200 pounds, it’s clear just how much more powerful these trucks are.
A recent incident involving some vegan protesters trying to stop a moving tractor-trailer with their bodies has sparked criticism and disbelief. The protesters, who were trying to bring attention to the “10,000 daily lives” (aka animals) lost at a nearby slaughterhouse, actually seemed like they were shocked when the heavy, diesel-powered truck didn’t stop for them.
The video of the event, shared on social media, shows the protesters running out in front of the truck, with one of them explaining their plan to “stop this truck so we can bear witness.” Despite their efforts, the truck only slowed down enough to give them a slight bump, much to the surprise of the protesters.
“We’re standing in front of the… slaughterhouse, where 10,000 lives are taken daily, 10,000 innocent lives, slaughtered here, for no more than the tastebuds of humankind. Here we have a truck approaching, where approximately 300 animals are stacked into this truck. We’re gonna stop this truck so we can bear witness.”

Many social media users were quick to point out the absurdity of the situation, with some calling the protesters “lunatics” and others questioning the logic behind their actions. One user asked, “What are you going to do when someone decides to claim that they feel sorry for the veggies and want to force you to live on air?”
I mean, honestly, what are we supposed to do with these people? They are so utterly brainwashed that I don’t even know what would help them come to any sense of reality. Ideas have consequences, and while everyone is entitled to their beliefs, it is important to understand the consequences of taking such stupid actions, especially when it involves putting oneself in harm’s way.
In conclusion, it’s important to consider the consequences of our actions and not blindly follow an ideology, no matter how passionately we believe in it.
