      Earthlings, Human Cruelty is narrated by Hollywood’s own Joaquin Phoenix. It tells the story of how humanities uses animals as food, pets, entertainment, scientific research and clothing. It features music by renowned musician Moby. Practicing vegans, Maggie Q and Shaun Monson produced this riveting film.

      In this eye-opening documentary, Phoenix takes viewers behind the scenes and into the history of animal cruelty. He covers puppy mills, pet stores, factory farms, and animal shelters. Not a stone is left unturned as Phoenix even dives deep into the medical and scientific profession, sports and entertainment industries and the leather and fur trades. With the use of hidden cameras, Earthlings observes the daily practices of some of the biggest industries in the world that rely on animals. It is said a picture can say a thousand words, but in Earthlings, Human Cruelties it draws a thousand emotions.

      The disturbing film won several awards in 2005. It won Best Documentary Feature when it premiered at the Artivist Film Festival. From there it won Best Content Award at the Boston International Film Festival. It also won two more well-deserved awards at the San Diego Film Festival. It took home Best Documentary Film and narrator Joaquin Phoenix took home the Humanitarian Awards for this extensive work throughout the film.

      I had to stop watching this not even half way through. Humans are crazy and even more ignorant of their craziness.

      Vegetarianism is the way to go.

    • Mercury

      I think I seen this documentary before, but this time only 18 minutes because it's just so horrible.
      I remember the first time i saw this I was traumatized for a month maybe.
      I can't understand it…
      As soon as the the food part began I had to stop.
      Last time i really felt disgusted by meat and was considering a vegetarian diet.

    • Tristan

      It is horribly immoral to eat meat in my view. There's really no reason to do it other than the taste of the animal's dead flesh in your mouth being liked. There is only the question of animal protein, and that is easily solvable with a vegetarian diet. I hate how nonchalant meat is, especially in the US. Don't people think? It's bad for you, it's immoral, and we don't need to do it.

    • SomeOne

      Vegetarianism is the way to go!! be the change that you want in this world!!

    • kcusuoyon

      don't even leave a comment if you didn't finish watching this film
      you all gonna go back to eating meat after couple days anyways

    • james gough

      Most graphic portrayal of how human's effect this planet…All people should watch this,maybe then positive change will begin.

    • Tristan

      Only if you're a terrible, ignorant human being. Or only if you're too cold to care.

    • Adrian

      Yeah, we should just cook animals while they're alive… like we do with plants…

      Vegetarianism is horrible… you take things that are alive and boil/cook them…

      "Well, they don't feel it like animals"… Says who? do you speak plant?

      At least animals are dead when you eat them….

      "omg humans are so cruel"… live with it… it's life… you can't save all the creatures…

    • Travis

      WHILE I will agree that there are many cases of cruelty in the animal killing process, the fact is it happens so little in the big scope of things. The majority of animal processing companies take care to be within all aplicable laws and kill the animals with as much humane care as possible……BUT

      While you have a right to feel as you may, it does not make your beliefs the way for everyone. And the fact that some of you result to name calling towards a person who chooses to eat meat invalidates any argument you may have had.

      While all fo us need to be against animal cruelty in any form, there is nothing unhealthy, as another stated, about eating meat. In fact we were born, or evolved for those of you who buy into that hogwash, with teeth designed for meat consumption. There are positives and negatives no matter what diet you choose and that includes vegeterian and meat eating. Spend a life in excess in either diet, and you have issues. But that fact is scientist have found problems with excluding meat in diets and have found problems with including meat. But with the inclusion of meat, the main issue they found was nto solely th econsumption of meat, but the excess consumption of it or consistent intake of fatty meats.

      If you want to be vegetarian, so be it but do not ever believe that because fo your diet you are better than the rest or better off for your diet, because that is not true nor is it backed scientifically.

      The root issue here should not be " I am better because I eat no meat" or vise versa, it should be a combined effort to deal with the minority of companies and people that abuse animals for fun or for profit! The basic fact of life is that without the killing of animals, their population would grow so rapidly that they would starve each other out and with the influx of disease, most would die in agony. If you do nto believe it, look up the horrible conditions that occurred in Michigan to the deer population after the leftist animal protection groups were able to greatly decrease the culling of. It only took a few years for the law to be repealed due to the hundreds of thousands of deer laying on the ground in the snow starving to death after the food sources depleted. Not to mention the horrible effects of TB that the deer had to die with in agony. After the law was repealed, deer starvation went down to nearly zero, deer hit on the roads went down greatly, and TB was brought, for the most part, under control.

      Sympathy is one thing, lack of sound knowledge is another. And when well meaning people force laws that make no sense nor have scientific backing, the very animals they meant toprotect, end up harmed!

    • quoo

      I had to stop watching this after about 45 mins, it seemed to be too radical and childish, and lacking any pragmatic approach towards the problem.

      … as per my opinion regarding the subject, I completely agree with Travis

    • k

      Fact, plants do not have a central nervous system, nor do they have pain receptors…and as far as the scientific world can tell, plants do not have a consciosuness; they aren't aware of their own suffering, but all animals that are eaten, do. When a pig is about to have it's throat slit, it becomes scared, when a chicken's beak is burned, it feels that pain.

      I am a vegetarian but I don't beleive that I am better than anyone, even those that chose to eat living, breathing creatures. I do beleive however, that as a society we are too far removed for the raising + killing process. When we buy meat it doesn't look like a pig that had it's throat slit, it looks like a pink, fleshy substance wrapped in plastic and paper.

      I think this issue gets messy because by virtue of your dietary choices it places a moral judgement on those that are opposite to that particular diet.
      That being said, I think it IS a moral choice to not eat meat (because we don't need it survive, therefore it becomes a pleasure/tradition issue, not one of necessity).
      That being said, there are certain facts that cannot be ignored, such as the fact that it is possibile to live a completely healthy life without any animal fats. Yes, there needs to be accomodations (such as B12 vitamins, flax seed oil, etc..), but the argument that one NEEDS to consume meat to be healthy, is nothing more than a justification. It is a choice we make, not a necessity.

    • Bill

      I have a hard time buying into the animal rights movemnet when the vast majority of humans on earth have no basic rights themselves. Anyone associated with the animal rights movement are just being oblivious to the real problems facing this world. And prehaps one day when the greater issues are solved we can dive into the animal rights dilema. But now is not the time.

    • k

      Since when can't we handle more than one issue at a time? That seems like a bit of an excuse. So what, if we are dealing with the recession, we can't handle pollution also? Solving an issue isn't conditional to having a prior one solved, moving the world in a more moral direction can take place by dealing with multiple issues at one time.
      Also, not really sure what you mean by saying "oblivious to the real problems facing this world", since when did anyone involved in the AR movement ever say anything about negating other issues like human rights, if anything, they are more inclined to be sympathetic because the AR movement has to do with understanding the suffering of others.

    • Eric

      Its hard to stop eating meat, even after watching this. Because I always did.

      Its also hard to be more caring about nature and animals. Because many people are so ignorant. I have experienced some people admitting they are vegetarians and caring about nature and then being teased and even hated by other people that are so ignorant and uncaring about everything than themselves. They call Greenpeace for hippies and all that kind of bullshit, or should I say "human"shit instead of "bull"shit?

      I want to make a change but I can't. I don't know, but I am not proud of it, it just seems so impossible.

    • http://www.safwco.org.pk aziz ur rehman

      simply eye opening !
      yes, we can change our thinking . It will benifit all of us " the earthlings". Secondly, the proverb " as long exists the slaughterhoused , so shall be the bettle fields. It is great contribution by the director of this documentry . I may not have understood it word by word , but i am sure this messege is not going to harm us ' the human kind".

    • George

      Have these "people" ever been punished by the law ?

      They need to be excecuted in electric chair for killing in such painfull way the poor animals.

    • Allyson

      I think it's hilarious, and also disturbing, how many bull shit "facts" some people will come up with to prove animal rights activists wrong. I mean Travis, I hardly believe you've done any research compared to the people who made this film. Give me a break. No one who knows anything about this issue will defend the factory farms.

    • Josh Lines

      I only watched the trailer for this film and it changed my views, I was on the fence about being vegetarian and more caring to what I consume/wear/do. I think everyone needs to just think about what they are doing and what animal has been affected.

    • Josh Lines

      And I am now a vegetarian!
      (dont eat fish either, everyone who watched this should watch the end of the line)

    • Jack Holmes

      Ate 3 cheeseburgers while watching this show, 'nuff said.

    • Matt

      I'm sorry I don't care.
      Just because were smart enough that we figured out a way that we don't have to hunt down out food and bash it to death with a rock doesn't mean what we do isn't perfectly natural.
      It isn't nice, it isn't pretty, it's nature plain and simple.
      If we as a species didn't kill and eat other lesser animals our brains wouldn't have had the fuel to evolve to the point at which we could even feel anything let along sympathy for food.

      Think about it before you get up on your high horse about being a vegetarian.

    • Manicardi

      The message in this documentary is real and irrefutable; cruelty against animals is wrong, immoral and can not be accepted. But I question the means used in this documentary to depict this message. Instead of providing a coherent and rational account of the problem, they sensationalize it, turning this paramount issue into a snuff movie. Perhaps their intent was to raise awareness, to shock people into questioning their relationship to the exploitation of animals, which is a merited accomplishment. But this documentary has no narrative it is just a catalogue of atrocities without articulated solutions, it has missed the opportunity to educate people on how to realistically avoid been part of this horrible atrocities, it has failed to make any reference on new forms of agriculture, like organic farming and small hold farming, where animals’ welfare are their foremost priority, or the countless charities that for decades have champion animal rights. It is a passionate subject and should be taken seriously and rationally, only by people changing their consumer habits and demanding to know the origins of their food and be willing to spent more money, to make sure the animals welfare is respected, only then the industry of carnage will cease.

    • mikesmtx

      Animal abuse-bad…….animal use-fine. I have quite a few vegetarian friends and no vegan friends. There's a big reason for that. Most vegetarians are down to earth open people and most vegans are just plain insane. What the hell was this that I just watched, besides a sickening scare tactic. It's pathetic the lengths people will go to to make everyone else just like them. I've never abused an animal in my life, I do however use them, just as vegan and vegetarians use plants. Everything is made up of the exact same stuff and it all deserves our respect and appreciation. Not everyone will show that respect….and that's something we must live with. From rape, murder, child abuse, animal cruelty to toxic dumping, there are bad people out there that are going to do even worse things to this planet. All you can do is try and not be one of them. But no one should have a problem with using the resources around you to sustain your own life.

    • Anonymous

      Darwinism at its finest. As the superior species on this planet, humans reserve the fight to do whatever we want to any other inferior animal. This is merely the course of nature. It's nothing terrible or unnatural, "animal cruelty" is perfectly fine.

    • habler

      All you vegetarians and vegans should go share a lettuce sandwich with a hungry wild lion or tiger. As your being eaten alive you will have time to reconsider your hypocrisy.

    • Nelson Whittingham

      this is the worst documentary ever made

    • Tay

      we like to concider ourselves as more than animals, but the fact is that we are. and like any predator we subjugate the ones that are under our chain. its the way it is. and anyone assuming that animals are somehow better, consider the 'animals never had a war' thing that people quote. they have never had to. they eat whatever species is below them on the food chain. sadly we have the responsibility and the power to eat all those below us. its simply an art we havent mastered yet. but it is our reality

    • http://philosophyislaughter.wordpress.com Jack Mackenna

      of course. that's why you posted this anonymously.

      perhaps you should have put "Sociopathically" instead.

    • Ben

      When considering moral implications, its really more of a philosophical question than anything. Yes animals do feel pain as us but one may argue that the exploitation of animals is just an inevitable factor of their position in the food chain, with some of the methods (especially of intensive farming) illustrated in this film proliferated by our ever increasing population and need to exhaust the calorific carrying capacity of the earth.

      The whole 'human career' has depended upon the death of animals. Of course watching the death of some entity considered sentient is generally not a pleasureable experience, especially for the majority of people who are hidden from this and are not de-sensitised to killings graphic and brutal qualities.

      If animals werent used as pets, or in farming they would most likely become extinct in the way so many other species have by the gradual minimilisation of their habitat and the expansion of ours. One may argue however that the extintion of a species is more humane than keeping it alive in a constant state of suffering, but of course here ethical questions will also arise.

      It may seem like im trying to defend the visibly cruel practices in place, but im not. In fact im not trying to make an argument either way, im just trying to express how i feel about this issue. I am shocked by this film even though that was obviously the intention, but my desire to eat meat and wear leather supersede my guilt over the matter, and as an earthling that is my decision.. i just hope there is no such thing as reincarnation.

    • Maisam

      Islam Has told us a lot about how to treat animals kindly and with a sense of mercy…
      watching this documentary shows how Perfect Islam is…

    • Unknown

      Poorly devised economic systems, no regulations … Max profit by any means. Our social backbone is apparently built around irrational destruction.

    • J

      I'm not sure this is the right place to make that statment….
      Maybe if the doc was about religon, but it's not, so your comment is quite irrelevant!

    • A. Bubbleburster

      Some could call it a comment
      Others might say it's propaganda.

      My "Opinion" = Let's all try to eat a little less meat.

      In doing so, we'd contribute to reducing CO2 emissions, tons of methane, and as a Bonus, we'd also help reduce cruelty towards animals.
      It's a win-win-win deal.

    • a

      parts of this made me want to vomit

    • me doing me

      not fair to say its irrelevant at all, its his/ her opinion, not your theres, it may not exactly be about the subject but it is related in idea of message and thus, is very relevant !, dont hate appreciate, over and out pce :)

    • Imperien

      Congratulations, Travis! You are officially in the running for the Dumbest Comment of 2009 award!

      Six bloody paragraphs prattling on about how unscientific everyone else is. Yet without even skipping a beat you managed to slip in the following:

      "… we were born, or evolved for those of you who buy into that hogwash, with teeth designed for…"

      How dare you tell others that their statements are invalid because of a few expletives when you spew such blatant bullshit with a straight face?

      Positively shameful! Even the Allah worshiper is more credible than you.

      "Lack of sound knowledge" indeed!

    • Steven

      Speciesism? If speciesism is favoring one's own species over another species, then every single species is speciesist, and rightly so. We are here to compete, if you have a problem with that, evolution offers the answer of removal of you individually, and if your species overall shares your lack of speciesism, your species itself shall be removed. Welcome to Earth. We've been doing this for billions of years.

    • Steven

      This documentary employs the use of a great deal of brainwashing. It draws parallels between animal and human suffering. It devalues the suffering of humans. Shame on the creators of this documentary for directly comparing cows and Jews. How horrible.

    • Jack Kebek

      Being a regular doesn't give you, or anyone, the right to be rude to any visitor. This isn't "your home" and this isn't a fighting arena, it's a forum to exchange ideas and knowledge.

      Respect is a minimum anywhere in society, Mr Imperien.

      Thank you

    • Imperien

      Tell you what, Jacques… When I see you going from thread to thread admonishing anyone and everyone for not being nice enough to your liking then, perhaps, I'll take such comments from you seriously.

      Until then, however, I've little option but to assume that your ego is still stinging over the embarrassment from the ADD video and comments such as these are no more than misguided (not to mention unnecessary and more than a little futile) attempts at saving face.

      Have yourself a wonderful day! ;-)

    • Imperien

      "It draws parallels between animal and human suffering."

      You say that as if it were a bad thing. *scratches head*

    • Jack Kebek

      Please, just be respectful, or go tell daddy you need another "tangible consequence" for being disrespectful.

      Have a nice day you to

    • Sinncier

      Very well put TRAVIS. I believe your comment travis was a statement of facts and drew no assumptions. You gave points to both sides of the equation. And the fact that eating plants is just as bad as animals makes sense seeing as though we DONT speak plant. Either way there IS no way of rationalizing this topic exept for the fact that if we choose to survive meat or vegetable makes no difference. Its the uncruel and only nessasary way of doing it for survival that can rationalize what we do. As long as we stick to compassion (a trait that in itself makes us human in the first place) and feed in the most respectful way possible, i'm sure we can find rational meaning in our thought process and actions.

    • Sinncier

      Imperian the simple fact that instead of giving solid arguable facts you waste your time critisizing makes anything you say invalid, bias, and not worth reading. How can anyone take what YOU say serious when all you have the mental capacity for is to make rude remarks towards ones views instead of towards the topic. I love this comment: habler
      All you vegetarians and vegans should go share a lettuce sandwich with a hungry wild lion or tiger. As your being eaten alive you will have time to reconsider your hypocrisy

      Thats is SO true. This is about survival and animals will just as well eat us for survival as we do them. THE POINT IS in which way we do it. It SHOULD NOT be done with CRUELTY because thats what makes us different from those lions in the wild. We have the intelligence and compassion to do it with what we call decency. Anyone who thinks this is cruel (including myself) should watch what a animal would do to us in the wild. At least we are not eating them alive, and feasting on them while they are still screaming. But then again thats what we have our brains for to not be that…..cruel.

    • Sinncier

      Its true what we have all just watched is cruel. But it doesnt mean we shouldnt eat meat. It just means we should not support animal cruelity and if we have to feed, do it in a way that reflects the intelligence of our race. We should not support what we just saw.We should boycott, prepare our own meat in a way thats not cruel, WHATEVER so that we can justify feeding in a way that doesnt make us feel guilty. Period.

    • MarkT

      I was a vegetarian for about a decade, and while I do eat the occasional meat based meal these days, I still have in my mind where the meat came from and how it is produced. What I find troubling about animal processing is the scale to which we do it. It's not a denial of how we as humans evolved into omnivores, that much is obvious, it's that we seem to have this idea that we can take as much as we want while experiencing little to no consequence for doing it.

      I also think it's very unfortunate that people use Darwin's observations about the natural world to justify the disgusting practices of the factory farm. Darwinism shouldn't be used to advocate the idea that humans, by virtue of their big brains, have the right to abuse the environment and everything in it. If that's the case, then Darwinism becomes a religion.

      Factory farming is just another corporate industry that manages to avoid accountability for its shady and destructive practices.

      Just an observation… I often felt that people who ate meat had more of a problem with me not eating meat than I did with them eating it… and I never really preached it or threw it anyone's face.

    • kfed

      20 min into the doc. i was almost in tears and wanted to turn it off.

      we live in a F*cked up world.PERIOD

      i understand that people need to work for a living, but for someone to get up everyday and go to these slaughtering factories and treat other living beings in this manner is just astounding to me.
      i would really like to know exactly how many of the people that do this for a living actually eat meat. its such a heartless, disgusting process.

      this just makes me wonder why so many people believe in a god… if there was an all knowing, all loving, omnipotent being watching over all of us, do you think he/she would allow this to go on?

      we are all animals sharing this earth. just because humans have the ability to communicate in a more intelligent(for lack of a better word) fashion doesn't mean we are any better. the human species has actually devolved in my opinion. we depend on factories like these shown in this documentary to supply our food for us, millions of years ago they would have went out and hunted their own food. we depend on electricity, running water, shelter and all this new advanced technology to get us through the day. yes, we have more knowledge about "things" now, but we have lost all connection with nature and the earth and where we came from,And really the true meaning of life. humans are the most horrible species.

    • http://www.youtube.com/user/WiseFlow28 Wise Flow

      This documentary is definitely an eye opener. I believe everybody should take the time to watch this documentary. Every parent should show this documentary to their children when they have reached a certain level of maturity. Many times when we purchase our food at the grocery store or are eating our dinners at the restaurant we fail to pay attention to all the labor that is involved in getting that meat to us and of all the pain and suffering that is endured by the animals. We fail to appreciate. We over consume, and we are unthankful. Now I realize why religious people give thanks before eating. Some may do it out of tradition not knowing the reasons why. But after watching this video and all the pain and suffering that the animals had to endure, now I see who really deserves the thanks.

      I have been a meat eater for my entire life. This video certainly opened my eyes and has encouraged me to lessen the amount of meat I consume. Walking inside of the grocery store and seeing the meat on the shelves puts me in disgust when I think about this documentary. I highly respect all vegetarians and vegans for having the compassion to give up meat and set a positive example for society. Their existence counterbalances the unappreciative over consuming meat eaters.

      Even though this documentary encourages me to become vegan, I realize that our mere existence in this world is a burden to our environment. Contemplate on all the water that we consume and use, the pollution, the killing of animals, the waste. I really believe the problem does not rest in the fact that human beings eat meat, but the problem rests on our over consumption and unappreciation. I do not condemn the meat eater but rather I look down on the unappreicate spoiled over consuming meat eater. With life there is death, death is inevitable. With the death of an animal, it supply’s us with life. If we did not eat the animal, the insects would. When we die, insects will be eating our bodies, we are all interconnected. But with that being said, that still does not give us the right to over consume beyond our healthy needs. 1 cow can provide food for 200 modest consumers and 1 cow and provide food for 1 over consumer. If we all would eat less meat, then there would simply be less animals that would have to be slaughtered for our survival needs.

      I believe it is very important for all human beings to pay attention to the burdens they are causing to the environment and living animals around them. With this awareness, it will naturally direct them towards a more modest way of living and as a result less animals will be abused, mistreated, and slaughtered.

    • Farmer Joe

      Good point, but don’t strike up the backing on science on one hand while simultaneously calling evolution ‘hogwash’ on another. Hypocrisy.

    • Christopher

      Vegetables and fruits grow back every season. Their branches can too. An animals limbs cannot. Trees do not cry, run in fear, beg for food, express joy or pain. Its interesting that you care enough to defend plants as conscious beings but why would you if your point is to eat them anyway along with everything else that moves!?

      Statistic reports have shown a direct link to high IQ children growing up to become vegetarianism. When the mind arrives at the truth illusions lose their grip. Eating an animal is a lazy way to satisfy hunger and that is all it is doing… satisfying a craving for calories. It takes some mental exercise to learn just where we should be getting those calories and other nutrients from.

      http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/59220.php

      If you want to make sense of something that confuses ask as many questions as needed to “get it”. Feelings of anger and frustration stem from confusion which is likely the stage your still at.

      It is not easy to shake off conditioning that has been programmed since childhood.
      Even more challenging when your curiosity is ridiculed by those around you who are also confused but may not care to learn any better.

      There are many more documentaries and films about nutrition and biology that would explain our chemistry and our needs to maintain a healthy body without showing graphic examples of animal abuse. They are on the web and soon to be here. The local library is likely to have many of them too.

      If eating animals does not affect you emotionally then you might be interested in this article that speaks of several highly accomplished scientists who defended vegetarianism from the standpoints of logic and morality.

      http://www.chinghai.org.tw/eng/news/160/vg5.htm

      It takes effort to become more than you are. Search for yourself until you have found enough evidence to make an objective analysis and then if you find that vegetarianism is not just an act of kindness but of intelligence you must then put the information into action so that you can experience it beyond theory.

      I have yet to hear or read of anyone that cured themselves of a terminal illness by eating more meat. But a simple Google Search of “healed through vegetarianism” or “healed by raw foods” will result in several dozen pages. Give it a try. You have much to gain!

      Bacon is yummy though. You cannot deny that. Debate me on this and you will find I am on the +50% side. Seriously though, bacon is frigging delicious.

    • Chloee

      This is a very emotional topic. We’re attached to food. I’m on the fence with this one.

      I absolutely adore animals, I think factory farming is cruel, dangerous and wrong, I try to buy as much organic grass-fed meat as much as I can. I eat meat because that is what I’ve been accustomed to. I have tried being vegetarian but I lost too much weight, becoming tired and doctors forced me to go back on meat. But I understand why people do it. I admire those who can do it long term and stick to it (it’s hard, it really is). I also know the impact factory farming has on the environment and it’s really disturbing. I hate it, but most meat eaters (90% of the population) are guilty of it (I’ve had a hamburger before so I am just as guilty).

      On the other hand, people who buy meat that is humanely killed, where the animal when it was alive was treated well, cared for and fed it’s natural diet and was allowed to roam around and get fresh air etc I don’t see what is so bad about that. People will eat meat whether you like it or not, human ancestors have been doing this for eons. Anthropologists have overwhelming evidence that humans hunted and ate meat as well as other foods. The concept of veganism and vegetarianism is only attributed to some humans, as most mammals are not pure vegans or vegetarians. Even grass eating animals eat some forms of smaller creatures such as insects on the grass and foliage they consume and bacteria.

      There is nothing wrong with meat that is raised in the way nature intended (fed grass, allowed to roam, not fed hormones or antibiotics, gets fresh air and sun, has adequate room, allowed to bond with it’s young or mother etc). That type of meat is usually found to be sold by small organic farmers – which we should support. Factory farms are eradicating the small farmer which is so sad. Plus the meat that is factory farmed will cause health problems. That is shown in most studies with animal protein. Even wild fish in oceans have toxins like mercury or PSBs in their flesh. Seems like nothing is clean anymore. So thats why when someone asks me “what’s a healthy diet?” I usually say eat less meat (unless you can find meat that’s raised well and killed humanely).

      Hey, wow… someone brought islam into the discussion, and proclaimed its perfection… man, they know how to do everything better. they should write a book or something. you know, get the word out

      possibly, but it is driven by supply and demand. It is not like they would keep doing these things if their stock was just piling up and going to waste. I refer back to the Bacon rule. Bacon is delicious and people will eat it. Most do not care enough where it comes from or how it was made, to change their habits.

      On a side note, pigs are amazing animals… you feed them practically anything, and it turns into BACON…. that rocks

      Thank you for the movie. I wouldn’t believe if I wouldn’t see it… I also had to stop the movie. Something has to be done or has to happen to change this situation.

    • John

      I agree with what you said but it has nothing to do with God. It is our problem having a potential for both good and evil. It is from this moment on it also became my problem since closing eyes means silent participation in this crime. It is exactly the same problem Germans had during a Nazi regime.

      i already had contempt for my fellow man. this has escalated it to unprecedented levels. unlike most of you, i watched this all. thank you to the creators for helping me regain perspective.

      wow, well i do not agree with the way that we treat animals in factory farms and by way of destroying there habitat, but comparing it to the slaughter of 30 000 000 people in Europe and the power that human kind wields compared to a child molester is out of hand. That is disgusting and inappropriate. The only person that can respond against this post would have to be someone who does not live in a city, destroying natural habitat, only eats garden grown organic vegetables, and does not have a computer, batteries are powered on a min-able substance for which thousands of people are slaughtered for in Africa and south America, and never drives in a car, because i guess according to this video if you do participate in any of these activities then you are a no good nazi child molester.

      I love this planet and everything it breathes life into but this movie stepped over some boundaries it did not need to in order to get its message across

      good stuff m’man, my thoughts exactly
