Recently I saw a documentary called Earthlings.
It is basically a close-up look at what happens to animals to make the meat we eat, provide the pets we have, the animals products we wear, testing of the drugs we take, etc.
It is extremely violent and one of guys I first saw it with turned vegetarian as a result. Some of the footage looks quite old, some of it more recent, and the film is edited for maximum emotional impact.
This documentary has ended up on Google Video which is great as it makes it more accessible, but the quality suffers as a result.
I debated about linking to this. It will upset some people I think. But I can’t claim “it’s not for everyone” because that isn’t true. If anything, it isn’t for young children. But I think for adults, the less you know about how pre-processed meat hits your plate the more you should watch this film.
Perhaps ignorance is bliss. But I found this film morally affecting & challenging. Perhaps you will too.
