Cruelty Of Ignorance.

This video I'm about to link you to is hard to watch. It's graphic in the sense that you see live animals slaughtered without anything blocking your view of their pained eyes or the evil sneers and smiles of the people who work their jobs with joy. Even if you think you don't want to watch, you must, because ignorance is part of our weakness as a human being. I hope you will spread the word of this video, because it's something we all need to watch.

"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," by rkaufmann.

i have a question. so, after watching this compelling documentary, would it help if we turn ourselves into vegan? joaquin phoenix is. so does moby.

Ill watch soon...But for now...

Hm. Vegens...yes...If everyone in the world ate at a lower trophic level, world hunger would at least be eased a bit. Im not sure it would be solved, since eating lower would destroy the food source for some of the higher levels, but itd be worth a try, I think. Even myself, who is a carnivore, would be willing to give it a try.

you're absolutely right. the key here is respect, how the animals were treated and all. after watching the documentary, I'm tempted to become a vegan myself too. I guess I could try... since I don't consume beef and not much of a meat eater anyway. XD

world hunger is a good point. but the supplements part (for vegan) would be another problem I think.
