"Your Mommy Kills Animals" Has anyone else seen this? My DH and I just watched it last night and it was so hard for me to watch (there was animal abuse and graphic photos shown in some parts). It opened my eyes a lot though to the real issues going on within the animal rights movement that are often hidden by the media -- some good things, some bad. I just was wondering if I was the only one who saw it -- I couldn't find it anywhere so I had to Netflix it. Here is the trailer/myspace for the movie but it is probably graphic in some parts so it may not be work safe or if you don't like seeing those things, you may not want to watch it. http://www.myspace.com/yourmommykillsanimals |
Wow, I don't even know what to say. |
I haven't ever heard of it...I haven't been keeping myself up to date on the animal rights issues that I care so much about. What is it about? |
Quote:
It went into showing all the sides of the situation -- different organizations beliefs, the sometimes forceful tactics that some animal rights groups use to get their message across, ect. It also includes celebrity interviews and shows their viewpoints as well. It really opened my eyes to a lot of things and I liked that it showed all sides evenly. It didn't have a "side". |
I had never heard of ALF or the SHAC movement before...they seem pretty outrageous to me:thumbdown I'm all about animal rights and loving animals, but I think this group is pretty rediculous. I just watched a couple of the clips on the myspace page. |

In the movie it also was showing the difference between animal rights and animal welfare which I never even thought how different they are. It was so much to think about. I'm still not even sure how I feel about all that I saw. |
I watched the trailer on Myspace and I am honestly SO confused! That was so random! :confused: |
So watched the little clips- so I think it makes a little more sense. Was this on TV? What a random, odd title for a movie. ETA: Who is the old man with the cane? |

Not sure why they used it for the movie... It's not on tv, it was in theaters and is now on dvd, but I had a hard time finding it anywhere so I had to order it from netflix. I didn't see the old man w/a cane in the trailer or was he in a different clip? |

The older gentleman came out of the building (not sure who he was) and smacked one of the protesters w/his cane so he was arrested. |

After doing some google I found that the two men from SHAC that are being interviewed in the clips are in jail (along with a few others). |
Peta's head quarters is located here. There are many many things that make our local news, but not nationally. What people assume is their premise sounds like a good thing, but not necessarily everything if you do some research in their objectives. To tell the truth I don't believe PETA even approves of owning any animal. |

My understanding is that PETA believes that there should be a law requiring ALL pets to be neutered. In a very short time there would be no domesticated dogs or cats which is how they think it should be.:eek: It's such a shame when groups that are founded on a good idea get so extreme that nobody can relate to them. I get a lot of great information as a vegetarian from PETA sites and my daughter has used them for reference on companies who test on animals but I would never want to be affiliated with them because IMO they have totally lost their minds.:rolleyes: I haven't heard of that movie so I'm going to go watch the clip. |

I think I got signed up for them because I requested the Vegetarian kit. I had to email them several times for them to stop. Like you said, they could do so much good and get across their point so much better if they didn't do such extreme stuff. They have a lot of great resources like a list of places that do and don't do animal testing. |

Not too long ago...two of their employees traveled to NC with the pretense of picking up shelter animals to find them homes. What they actually did...was euthanize them in the van and toss their bodies into dumpsters. The shelters weren't aware of this obviously and said the animals...which included puppies and kittens...could've certainly found homes. |

But I try to be "meat free" for 3 days a week. I've also cut out most types of meat completely. I haven't eaten beef or pork for a couple of years now. I've never been big on most meats so I've never had lamb, duck, etc. I only have chicken, turkey, and fish. So I guess it's better than nothing!! :) |
I've seen this. It did not change my views and beliefs at all. I am not a big fan of black/white extremes in any field; religion, politics etc. I am not a vegetarian but do believe that the animals I eat are entitled to live healthy, respected, happy lives before they end up on my table. Including their last moments. This is why I will be raising my own, beef, sheep, poultry etc and have a year round solar heated greenhouse. Also knowing that my food sources are organic and free of steroids, antibiotics and anything else I wouldn't choose to ingest. I am also a part of the growing group of working americans without health insurance. It would cost $2,000 a month to self insure and that doesn't include co-pays etc. I invest in organic, whole, clean foods instead. How can we hope to think how we treat each other will ever change if we allow how Butterball, Tyson, Perdue etc treat out food sources? |
