Knowledge is power....dont fall in line and follow blindly any group without getting a thorough knowledge base of what you are swallowing! That is how the masses get sucked into cults and find themselves involved in movements the individuals did not realize the full depth of the agenda being pushed. Just know what this is about....this has nothing to do with the pitiful look in a puppy's eyes.....that is just the hook that is used. This particular documentary is a softball presentation....I watched it so I can give my personal critique....very few will watch this film and NOT agree with what is being presented......but this does not begin to sell the whole theory of "speciecism". Just know what you are insidiously being spoon fed, just as we do with our political and religious beliefs we cling to.....informed, educated choices, without excuses or apologies. |
I can't take anything away from your review since you went into it with a completely closed off mind, assumptions, and conclusions - and came out the same way. And how could've it been any different from that? You made up your mind
before you even saw it. What a shame that we can't just have a nice discourse about it, instead you sound so angry, paranoid, and closed off. I don't see a discussion frame of mind at all, unfortunately, so I won't go there. Nonetheless, I'm glad you saw it as I think it's a positive move. I respect the fact that you viewed it.
I think we're all capable of having our own personal definition of what a "true animal lover is" and if it's different from yours, maybe just respect that difference instead of putting it down somehow. On one hand you're preaching we should all think for ourselves, and on the other you seem to be putting down those who elect to do just that
. And just for the record, I don't believe a true animal lover has to be a vegan, vegetarian, or similar (before anyone goes making any assumptions).
