Earthlings

Hello

I found this documentary, its horrible and unbelievalble. we are discustings race..the worst in the hole universe..sorry my english is bad i know, iam from germany. I copied the text of the Movie-->

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 .

warning (strong pictures)

This film has shown me once again that we have "human" lost on this planet anymore. It is easy to imagine how we treat other sentient. I could no longer simply places to look, I've cried during the movie .. and I was depressed all day.

I will star and flag your thread, but as for viewing the video, I will not as I have studied all the subjects listed in your Op about the video content.

Could you post your personal opinions of what you get from the video?

Your English is just fine.

If someone wanted to move to Germany, what would it take?

Kill to eat, to feed to provide was once brutal when there were no other means.

Now we ignore those better ways and methods because profit would be effected.

We used to need, now we greed.

Oh really ? Could please point me to the direction of the evidence you have to back up such an outlandish claim ?


Don't worry i will wait

I watched Earthlings not so long ago.

From the first scene to the last scene fat salty drops of tears ran down my face... I was physically ill after watching it...

Yeah - some humans just really suck.

It made me change my diet - I went from vegetarian to full flat-out vegan. Couldn't face any animal products after that documentary.

This was the movie that made me choose to go vegetarian. I haven't eaten any animals since I saw Earthlings; it completely changed my life. That is to say, it is one thing to KNOW something with your intellect (in my case it was knowing that, for me, eating meat was wrong). It is entirely another thing to be confronted with the brutal realities of our heartless and monstrously evil animal food industry. It cemented a lot of things in place for me and was the deciding factor in a gigantic lifestyle change I am still undergoing. Eventually I plan to go from vegetarian to vegan, again, thanks to this movie.

I am watching this again for the second time in my life. I will not support this action, I will not eat meat. I cannot condone the behaviour. I would eat grass first, rice for the rest of my life. I do not agree with what humans do. We have no reason to act this way, no way to justify the behaviour.

This movie makes me cry.. every time I watch it...

You can't win a war by running away from it. Not all animals that are eaten, or killed are treated horribly, or cruelly. You want to stop the cruelty, do your research, find the places and people that provide animal products and do humanely. Spend the extra money to get your products from them, in fact do your best to help these people promote their products. Tell your friends, your friend's friends, even if you refuse to eat it yourself, buy it anyway, makes meals from it for your friends, feed your dog a really good treat, anything to make sure the businesses that do it right get the revenue to promote the proper way to do things.

All not eating meat does is take you out of the equation, it makes no point and solves no problems. If you say you won't eat meat because you can't stomach how animals are treated, but won't eat meat even if the animals were treated humanely all you're really saying is, I'm not going to eat meat even if you do change your practices, so my opinions don't really matter because I am not and will not ever be a consumer even if you meet my demands.

You're not fighting the good fight, you're not making the world a better place, and you are completely ignoring the reality of the system, and the battlefield upon which the war is waged. At best you're making yourself feel good because you yourself aren't eating any animals. But I have news for you, that's insignificant and irrelevant to the bigger picture. More meat goes to waste than would have been consumed by you anyway. Perhaps less meat might have been wasted and fewer animals would have been tortured for nothing. No animals are saved and no suffering is alleviated by your not eating animals. Zero, zilch, zip, nada, none, not a single one, is complete irrelevancy. Ultimately being a vegan or vegetarian is selfish as the only purpose it serves is to make you feel all warm inside and as if you have some kind of moral high ground. It's an ego boost, nothing more.

If you really care about how these animals are treated, if you really want to stop it, accept the world and system for what it is and actually do something about it using the tools inherent to the system to make it happen. Help make cruelty to animal unprofitable and reward those who do right by making sure the money instead funnels in their direction. These greedy money hungry bastards only care about one thing, the bottom line. So if you really want to change things, hurt them where they care about it and make it clear that change can be profitable. As is, they serve no real purpose in doing anything but write you off. Does it suck to them they lose you as customers because to go vegetarian or vegan? Yes, but since you pretty much make it clear by ignoring their competitors that try to do right you aren't going to by their products either, you simply demonstrate that even if the meat industry did change, you're a lost cost anyway, so why may I ask should they bother?

They aren't humanitarians, they aren't good people, and is pretty clear they don't care how their animals are treated. Only thing that matters to them is making a profit. So stop trying to combat them by appealing to their conscience and stop trying to fight them making irrelevant financial statements that don't actually matter.

Is it annoying to them any time you convert another customer away from them? Sure it does, but frankly you aren't making enough waves, and they're having trouble keeping up with the current population anyway. A few less customers does not really hurt them right now. Giving the money to their competitors however does, it means their meat is going to waste without any profit, while their humane competitors are seeing a profit boom.

They speak money, you really want to make a difference, learn to speak it yourself, communicate to them in the one language they understand and will not ignore. Otherwise you're nothing more than a lazy self-center, self-righteous ass that really could care less about actually doing something about the problem and only want to feel better about yourselves so you can sleep better at night cozy in the thought that at least you're not part of the problem. You're the people that walks by a woman getting raped and does nothing and tell yourself at night that hey, you didn't rape her and you're not a rapist, so you're not a bad person and did nothing wrong. Well I have news for you, you did nothing right either, you just avoided the problem and hid from it.
