Earthlings (2003)

"Narrated by Academy Award Nominee Joaquin Phoenix and featuring music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby, EARTHLINGS is a documentary film about humankind's complete economic dependence on animals raised for pets, food, clothing, entertainment and scientific research. Using hidden cameras and never-before-seen footage, EARTHLINGS chronicles the day-to-day practices of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. Powerful, informative, controversial and thought-provoking, EARTHLINGS is by far the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature, animals and human economic interests."

I usually would never write on these walls but I have been so surprised about how shocking some of the peoples comments have been. This talk of the food chain, and how cows if they could dominate us if they could is rediculas. There are hundreds of animals that are stronger than un armed humans who do not eat meat, a cow would never eat meat no mater how 'dominate' it was because it simply can't digest meat. This excuse that its the food chain, and because we are at the top of it we are 'supose to eat animals" is ignorant, just because we can do something does not mean we should. Humans can live healthy with out taking somethings life away, it is a choice when people don't. And for "cdiddy7" I don't think any vegan or vegatarian would be pro genocide? It's my understanding that most people who chose ethical ways of eating are just putting in a small part, to not only living creatures, but also to our environment. The less demand there is for these commodities the less they will produce. If 100 people in a small town for instance stop eating, say red meat, the store, unless they like loosing money will stop ordering as much red meat. It is all about supporting companies that you believe in, every purchase you buy, is you saying you support how that company is run. I can't think of a single reason why I would give money to a company who would do things I don't find ethical.

Nature made us ominous so we're MADE to eat vegetables and MEAT its NATURAL. And uh... sorry I hate salads.
Going so far as saying "MEAT IS MURDER" is kinda nuts,... If your gonna be all extreme activist on us you should really be more worried about the far more important human threats like corrupt governments or genocide and things along those lines the list is long.
You know by being a vegetarian your letting animals die in vane because that just leaves meat sittng on the shelves to go bad so its kind of worse.

SICK SICK SICK- MEAT IS MURDER_I have never seen anything as cruel- Human beings can be so wicked- anyone who defends this type of treatment deserves the same done to them. Why don't you go out and hunt for your food as least, instead of letting some else do all the dirty work and then saying this is normal human behavior. How can anyone work in these places. Rotten

i am Ashamed of all the medium to rare fillets of steak that i ate , i am ashamed of living in this world were quality of life we boast about, i am ashamed of going to vote for a government which lets these atrocities happen , i am ashamed of sharing this world with humans like " Glenn"
It does not disgust me the fact that humans eat animal meat but for ch***t sake can we kill it decently at least ?
