| Earthlings...That will change your life for EVER This Movie change my life for ever... oh how much I cry watching it. I haven't eat meat for the pass 1 1/2 month ... Now I will go for organic meat as much as I can.( When I stop feeling sick each time I take try to it some) . Ya it is costly but it is worth it... It is costly to be a good dog breeder ... So it is the same for the meat industry.. Organic meat is costly but The animals condition are way better... Is in it that worth the extra $ This movie is EXTREMELY GRAPHIC!!!! You WILL cry. I throw up. I Close my eyes many,many times. 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. With an in-depth study into pet stores, puppy mills and animals shelters, as well as factory farms, the leather and fur trades, sports and entertainment industries, and finally the medical and scientific profession, EARTHLINGS uses hidden cameras and never before seen footage to chronicle the day-to-day practices of some of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. Powerful, informative and thought-provoking, EARTHLINGS is by far the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature, animals, and human economic interests. There are many worthy animal rights films available, but this one transcends the setting. EARTHLINGS cries to be seen. Highly recommended! So here it is... Think twice before watching... again.. it will change your life. You guys are all animals lover.. so I fell like I have to share this with you all. http://veg-tv.info/Earthlings |

| I did try. I do believe that often we owe it to the animals to watch or look at the graphic images, whether or not we totally buy into the message or the messenger (for instance those that believe we should not have companion animals). But the images themselves do not lie. But I didn't get very far. It was too sad for one sitting. I may have to break it into pieces. I got through the pets section, but it was so hard and I just can't go any farther yet. I'm sad.....

| I couldn't watch it all....I only got to where they put a dog into the trash truck while it was alive. This is the worst thing I have ever watched in my life. It is making me cry. I know it is all true and I cant take that. It kills me to know that people are so cruel and heartless. This is only going to make me love and cherish my baby even more. I am so glad I got him from a breeder that loves them and takes good care of her animals. Instead of a puppy mill. They need to be shut down. Ok I cant type any more. If you are thinking about watching this, believe ChantalB when she said "think twice before watching it". |

| I watch it already... I find it on Animal Liberation Front. A really cool Organization. But they are to extremist for me. The narration of Earthlings is really interesting, so if it get to graphic.. a good option,minimize the screen for few minutes... But sometime even the sound.. is just to much.. The last 15 minutes are a good resume of the movie. Thanks guys... I sure been really affected by that movie... I Just wish I could do more... I am a WSPA member and make a yearly donation... Have switch for organic meat,milk,eggs. But that just so little... |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | we all wish we could do more - I started watching and HAD to click it off - I just can't handle it anymore - I USED to watch these things and talk about them alot here - but these last months am too emotional .....I had to stop at the poison - I just can't watch ....I came too close to throwing up and crying. ANYONE WHO HAS NO IDEA HOW BADLY PETS ARE TREATED SHOULD WATCH - but beware - (from what I just saw) this kind of movie is very very graphic and will make you cry. |

| It's this sort of knowledge that has me buying organic meats and why we will be raising our own organically raised beef, lambs, goats, sheep, chickens and produce. We start building Cill Dara Farm in about 3-6 weeks. I will rest assured knowing exactly how my food was happily raised and what exactly is not in it. |
