Earthlings

[Ratiocinator]

There is a documentary called Earthlings. Every single person should view this documentary and understand what happens to animals at the hands of humans. What humans do to animals on a daily basis in industry, for sport and entertainment, and in vivisection laboratories is abhorrent; it is barbaric and unnecessarily cruel.

If only people would take a little time out to consider the cruelty done in their name:


"Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight."
- Dr. Albert Schweitzer

Earthlings highlights, through multi-source video footage capturing real-life animal treatment, the usual way mankind behaves. This documentary shows the regular way man treats animals. The cases it highlights are to the greater part not isolated, and not unusual. That is what makes the situation here on Earth all the more harrowing.


"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated... I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man."
- Mahatma Gandhi


It is not my intention to start any heated debates here, merely to bring to your attention this documentary. There is plenty of information on the issues it illustrates available for those who are serious about learning of them.


"I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men."
- Leonardo Da Vinci


I challenge you to make the connection.

The thing that I always think about concerning this issue is if animals have been humans in the past or if they will be humans in the future. It's really mind boggling. The way we treat animals in general makes me so sad I can't think about it.

EARTHLINGS is a feature length documentary about humanity's absolute dependence on animals (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and scientific research) but also illustrates our complete disrespect for these so-called "non-human providers." The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix (GLADIATOR) and features music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby.

I dont believe I have the heart to watch....if it's like those "peta" videos! :mad:

We absolutley DO treat animals WRONG.

I have picked up many little birds in the woods that were dying from things, and they have died in my hands.

And me crying profusely. I watched as they struggled to live but in vain.

There is no easy answer to this issue, but as for me, I will not eat them any longer and I suggest many do the same!

I agree very much with this as well and truly love animals.

I have to say, i love animals so much i would not be able to watch any of those videos. The images would stick in my mind and i would be VERY sad and angry.
It's a subject i feel very strongly about, and, well, i cannot stand to see suffering to any animals, even though i eat chicken, which i should not do really, i probably would not eat it if i saw what their lives were like before we eat them.
But it is good you bring it to the attention of people. I think most people would be aware of how awful we treat animals without watching the videos. But it is good to be reminded of it now and again.
