I looked at the information, and it is exactly what I suspected...propaganda for the train of thought that humans are no more superior than any other animal on the face of the Earth. I personally do not think "my" God intended me to be on the same level as an ant eater...humans in my opinion actually ARE superior over animals and are therefore the caretakers of this planet and everything that inhabits it. This entire theory of all creatures, including humans, are all on the same level, with no one species superior over another, is not anything I can be sold! This is the same ridiculous idea that was used to justify representing animals in our legal system and courts complete with attorneys, if they (the animals!) felt their rights had been trampled on by humans. There is a difference between "animal rights" and "animal welfare"!!! Thank the stars above, saner heads prevailed and that idea was laughed off the front page! Now, they are baaaack, trying to promote this notion again....I have included some quotes I copied and pasted from the movie site:
it is a must-*see for vegetarians and omnivores alike, and anyone interested in philosophy, social justice, nutrition, medicine, and just about anything else!
- It’s the best of the animal rights documentaries.”
-Yes, there certainly are serious issues involved with factory farming and animal rights, and that’s precisely why the documentary is funny and entertaining. Instead of being a dour conversation, it follows my adventures investigating these issues. By being funny, entertaining, and engaging, it reaches people who might not otherwise enjoy an animal rights documentary. -In 1975, a young writer published a book arguing that no justifications exist for considering humans more important than members of other species. It slowly began to gain attention. . Today, a quickly growing number of prominent individuals and political activists are adopting its conclusions and have termed the assumption of human superiority speciesism. And, as a result, they rank these animal factories among the greatest evils in our history. Speciesism: The Movie brings viewers face-to-face with the leaders of this developing movement, and, for the first time ever on film, fully examines the purpose of what they are setting out to do.

This last sentence above, says it all.....be afraid, be very afraid.
