Your all a bunch of fucking little pussies (i don't mind girls bitching about animal cruelty but when guys do its like wtf), I didn't grow up on a mass production farm but I grew up on a farm I have shot many animals sometimes just for fun and I will continue to do this. I eat meat because if I didn't I would find it very hard to sustain enough protein for my body. Animals like cattle and chicken are products for us. Why care if they suffer? why eat lettuce and celery as a diet, FUCK THAT!
I wouldn't advocate being a vegetarian if it wasn't for fucking people like they show in earthlings.
I just cant /live/ with myself knowing that I am supporting someone who treats animals so crudely.
Not that I have any prejudice against any meat-eaters, it's just that what goes through your mind as you watch this? How do you justify going home to eat your freshly grilled burger or fried chicken? I would be more open to eating meat if it wasn't for cruel treatment like this.
From my humble point of view, the problem does not lye in not eating animals. It is to make them suffer the way we do before they get to our mouths. If we could only treat them the way they deserve before eating them, like would be a little better.
I'm not by any means a liberal, or an animal rights activist, but I just watched this movie tonight,and I gotta tell ya, it's very disturbing. Now, I'm not advocating being a vegetarian, but we really need to change our consumption habits. And as far as some of the cruel way these animals were being treated, I just don't understand why we have to add so much senseless pain to the process.
Plants can regenerate itself, a liveforce that cud live thousands or million of years fm a single seed to protect mother earth and provide food to all earth hibitants, directly or indirectly. Appreciate & Love animals, they're also mammal who hv blood cells in their body just like human. give live birth & nuture their young with love. You can make a diiferent to this world.. our mind & taste bud wud adapt to vegetarian food if given a chance. try for few months, u will find vege tastes as good

@manjunathmadabal I know what you mean only 2 well. Even tho we know is wrong to hate ALL, cause its only a specific group of ppl doing it, Somehow you just develop this sense of hate. I have "earthlings" on my pc and i'm still thinking if ill watch it or not... for the same reason. its gonna probably mess with my head and ill probably develop a huge sense of hate towards many...
Okay vegan. Go hunting, shoot an animal.. Gut and butcher animal. Eat said animal. Let me know how you feel. You'll probably come back with a feeling of being closer to God, closer to your world/natural habitat, have a greater appreciation for all living things, greater respect others opinions and find out that you do actually have a pair of balls afterall. And WOW your not a bad person for having done so. I love animals but I'm a realist... and a hunter.
Wow! There are still primitive people that think like you. It's NOT about being vegan. it's about the way we treat everything that lives on this earth. If you REALLY care for animals just look at videos from PETA's website and I think it will affect you. The dead remains of animals (so you can have a nice fat juciy hamburger) are polluting us and the planet. Too bad it's illegal to hunt humans.
Primitive... You're the one talking about hunting humans. Animal remains don't pollute the planet, they fertilize it. ... I thought that was obvious since about 3rd grade. Primitive. You piss me off.
The dangers of factory farming include animal cruelty, environmental destruction, natural resources depletion, increased animal & human health risks. Because of high population density within farms, the widespread use of antibiotics and pesticides to mitigate the spread of disease and pestilence exacerbated by these crowded living conditions has become common. Intense concentrations of animals are susceptible to diseases like avian flu, swine fever, hoof and mouth disease, and mad cow disease.
Is a wolf wrong for eating a sheep? Is a bear being bad for cruely mauling an Elk? How about a pine beetle that, along with his thousands of brothers and sisters explode from a mighty pine tree leaving a dead and rotting thing...
A human Being was not meant to be a vegan. Nor was a coyote, or a bird, or a frog. How about instead of "DON"T EAT ANIMALS" we start saying "HAVE LESS CHILDREN" because really the issue is HOW MANY animals we eat and how we have to mass produce said animals.
Animals live they way they are. They don't have a conscience to judge what they do, they survive and there is no cruelty in it. Humans create their own world, and by supporting fast food industry and exploytation of nature we activly support torture and suffering. Everytime you eat meat, you kill an animal, that is a faczt, it does not matter if it comes in fancy box or as a bloody peace of meat. Many people would not eat meat if they had to kill the animals they eat themself.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I despise you PETA and ALF members/ supporters. Not only do you take for granted all the procedures and medicines developed from animal testing, but you attack the ones that provide it to you. And this biased documentary will undoubtedly display the most horrendous cases of animal "cruelty" ever caught on tape, and imply that it goes on everywhere every second of every day. Revealing only a portion of the truth is not exposing any truth at all.
Obviously you have never been to a farm for mass production. Example: A failure in the air conditioning killed hundreds of animals, nobody recognized for three days. Animals which never see daylight in there life.
I haven't and thats sick. See my other comment about too many people to feed on the planet.... BUT I have killed big game and processed the meat myself and I can tell you its a very pure experience and not one that anyone should be ashamed of. God filled the world with predators and prey. Nothing wrong or immoral about the predators. Just too many people to feed so we mass produce farm animals. Sick. How about DON"T HAVE SO MANY DAMN BABIES!!!!! Less mouths to feed inan already overpopulated pla
Well in this day and age that's true that a lot of people wouldn't eat meat if they had to kill the animal themselves but thats because today, almost everyone relies on the system. 200 years ago your theory would be shot to hell as most people DID kill the game they ate. I think the arguement is not whether eating meat is good or bad, it's simply that there are too many people on the planet to feed so we resort to these methods to feed them all. Its sad.
Ok so plants don't feel pain right? So would there be opposition to eating animals that have no concept of pain? Lobsters for example. Of course there would be opposition, so that argument that " well, plants don't feel pain" is terribly misguided.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
If you can't figure out the point to that sentence, then there is no hope. My point is that "pain" is not a good reason to not eat animals. Because not all animals feel pain. There are many reasons to not eat animals, but that isn't one of them.
Are you joking? Of course lobster feel pain. Almost every creature does, thats a part of self protection for their bodies. That poor bastards simply cant yell or make any noise, like fish drawn out of water and left to suffocate. Don't be fooled by this. Would a painless creature give us the right to torture and butcher it? I believe not.
@PadrinoDonLindo Besides the pain issue, there is something called the balance of the eco-system. This documentary addresses the problem of the over-fished oceans. Just like the movie Gorillas In The Mist points out there are only about three hundred mountain gorillas left -- humans' closest cousins.

@JDIceCold You are an Idiot. I study Zoology and I can tell you that Animals, all fee pain. You would have to be born without a nervous system, a brain, nerve cells and neuron transmitting connectivity functions. We are animals. We are part of Animalia, meaning we are related to all animals as we all share similar characteristics. The only living things that cannot feel pain are plants, prokaryotes (bacteria), fungi, amoeba, and virus's.
@ryuuwyvern90 You probably need to study a lot harder. In the 2005 study “Sentience and Pain in Invertebrates”, published for the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety, biology professor Lauritz Somme from the University of Oslo concluded that “it is unlikely they [lobsters] can feel pain”. The professor argues that what may look like pain – a lobster thrashing about in a boiling pot – is actually a reflex to stimuli.
@JDIceCold Actually Lobsters do feel pain. Tests done on Lobsters in boiling pots show elevated hormone levels that would be interpreted as pain by the Lobster
@JDIceCold I don't know if lobsters feel pain or not, but even if they didn't, eating them like people do nowadays (the cuantity I mean) will make the specie extinct. And that is wrong... speciesm as we know it, like racism and sexism is WRONG!
@JDIceCold Even if it had nothing to do with torturing animals, plants are a much more efficient food source because in order to feed a cow enough to feed people, you could have fed so many more people with the plants the cow had to consume. The further something is down the food chain, the less efficient it is to eat it because think of how much goes in for those animals at the end of the food chain. If you eat a lion, that lion ate gazelle, which ate grass, which absorb sunlight and water.
@JDIceCold Argue all you want. The wealthiest and most powerful people on the planet agree with this movie and it's warning to the half of the world that still eats animals of any kind -- "YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW". As in the Grim Reaper.
Wow, quite a list you got there. I've seen all those movies and they're really good. But I was using the word relevance when talking about earthlings and I don't really see how any of those would apply today.
Oh and great argument about how hair has relevance to the character of a human being. Pretty smart guy.
so because a plant doesn't have blood or internal organs it's ok to eat? that's the distinction you all are making, and it's ridiculous. get off your high horses and let people live their lives. just because you eat like a rabbit and others eat like the OMNIvores they are and don't try to be something they're not. shut up you self-righteous snobs. get a life
plants do not feel pain. therefore they cannot suffer when they are destroyed/eaten.
would your dog suffer if you hung her up by her back legs and slit her jugular?
i think it is far more self-righteous to act like you are superior to every other species on the planet and "have the right" to cause immeasurable suffering. i would dismount from that high horse before it's too late, if i were you.
...And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered...
I am vegan. I don't know why I watched this, (I don't NEED to.) I have NO IDEA how I made it to the end without vomiting or crying. This film should be compulsory viewing in EVERY SCHOOL on EARTH. But no.... certain censors and/or people who deal in a currency of animal violence for their own personal riches, wouldn't allow that now would they?
You'd NEVER catch me watching this again. I just recommend it to ANYONE I know who isn't vegan or vegetarian.
Not to our schools, thanks. My friend's vegan she recommended this to me. I just told her I might as well have watched an hour long playlist of the outdated footage that PeTA throws in every now and then. It's got some good points that I like, but how people go about it I do not like.
If I want to be vegan I would research it myself and CHOOSE to be vegan, not be shocked into it or force fed to it..eeh nice try though.
If you can eat meat after watching this film- you have no soul. My whole family has gone veg now. I can not justify supporting an industry that causes mass suffering.
Denial goes a long way, and it's hard to break through a lifetime of conditioning for most meat eaters. Not to defend them, but nearly everyone is conditioned in some way. It's just that speciesism is a particularly destructive form of conditioning.
Do you pay taxes? Then you justify it. Sorry, mate. It's how life roles. You can't be totally 'animal-cruelty free'. I watched this after eating leftover turkey a few hours ago, to be honest.
No disrespect to your family, but if you go veg just by outdated footage of the most diabolical situations on earth, then I can probably tell your family that mermaids exist and seem to show a credible source and come up with 'mermaidism' and have everyone pledge to save the mermaids.
I'm vegan. I didn't need a film to encourage me. It was just a decision I came to collectively after many years. There were books, life experiences, (good and bad) and movies too.
You are correct Slade - one cannot be totally animal cruelty free. But that does not mean I'm going out to have a steak. Even a personal revolution of one - is still a revolution.
Now please- wow us with your credible source of mermaidism you, wanker.
Don't be offended, hun. I wasn't supposed to offend anyone but the gullible minds of the younger viewers that think they should be vegan just by watching a video. :) I apologise again if I offended you. <3
And we evolved fish, there are things called genetic mutations, and one genetic mutation has sex with another, boom. Another one. There's a whole freakin' population down there and our irresponsible oil spoils are KILLING them. :(
Apology accepted. It was only the 'leftover turkey' comment that sparked my reply. All's well. In regards to someone turning vegan just by virtue of one video - well yes, that's a little unrealistic - it takes some planning and research for one thing. One has to educate themselves in regards to the ingredients derived from animal by-products for one thing. However - a video like this can most certainly INSPIRE one to pursue becoming vegan. And there's nothing wrong with that. :) Cheers!
You watched this^ But no, I was just saying that you're outdated argument is rubbish. You can eat all the meat you want- just don't be ignorant to where it's coming from. I mean I/m sure it's only one slaughter house from the 80's that treats animals like barbarians.
I actually state quite clearly when I said that SOME are not outdated but MOST are. Perhaps humans shouldn't be so darn gullible and believe the rubbish we see every day but instead going to a slaughter house to see what it's really like and decide on having a different lifestyle by EXPERIENCING instead of SEEING.
I'm a firm believer on we were raised to have a balanced diet from said experience.
i don't need to go to a slaughter house to know that animals can be scared, feel pain and deserve to be treated with respect. I have 2 beautiful dogs that lick my face when I come home! I know through EXPERIENCE and SEEING them everyday that animals are not objects and they are not food.
Aw I have a dog too. :) Yet, I know no source from when or where these videos were taken, therefore I cannot be gullible as to change my diet completely.
I'm not even going to argue on how skewed your last sentence is though. haha. As stated, I have no disrespect toward vegans..but I have a lot of disrespect for PeTA.
It's not a publicity stunt. They had so much trouble finding a production company to promote and sell the film, Joaquin Phoenix had to throw his own money into producing it. This film LOST money overall; the reality is, people don't want to see the footage. And something that no one wants to see is not best for anyone's pockets.
weather or not its a publicity stunt [and it probably isnt] ppl dont wanna watch this due to its graphic nature. ppl know what happens. you dont need to make a video of cows getting slaughtered, and killing of animals. its just not... wanted, if you will. and as to why you would show this to a bunch of squeamish 1st graders is beyond me... basic biology points out that meat is a must. i learnd that as a freshmen.... meat is needed one way or another.
Did you learn to spell "whether", 'weather" as a freshman as well?
All joking aside, you may think meat is "needed" one way or another. Fine. It's not a question of whether it is needed or not. It is a question of how much longer this will go on. Meat production simply is not economically or ecologically sustainable.
Also, please stop spreading this lie that it is "needed". It may be WANTED, but it is by no means needed. I have a friend who is vegan, and he is in perfect health.
@AsSomedayItMayHappen Its true. I try and tell people the truth in animal industries and they block their ears and say " I dont want to know, im happy being ignorant"
@ryuuwyvern90 The point of the film was not to make you feel like human beings are uniquely "disgusting" but that we're just like everything else that we exploit. Human beings are no more or less disgusting than any other species, we just have powerful means to exploit. And, of course, with this power comes great responsibility; responsibility that is often ignored.

would your dog suffer if you hung her up by her back legs and slit her jugular?
i think it is far more self-righteous to act like you are superior to every other species on the planet and "have the right" to cause immeasurable suffering. i would dismount from that high horse before it's too late, if i were you.

Without doubt the most moving and powerful film I have ever seen.

I am vegan. I don't know why I watched this, (I don't NEED to.) I have NO IDEA how I made it to the end without vomiting or crying. This film should be compulsory viewing in EVERY SCHOOL on EARTH. But no.... certain censors and/or people who deal in a currency of animal violence for their own personal riches, wouldn't allow that now would they?
You'd NEVER catch me watching this again. I just recommend it to ANYONE I know who isn't vegan or vegetarian.

Not to our schools, thanks. My friend's vegan she recommended this to me. I just told her I might as well have watched an hour long playlist of the outdated footage that PeTA throws in every now and then. It's got some good points that I like, but how people go about it I do not like.
If I want to be vegan I would research it myself and CHOOSE to be vegan, not be shocked into it or force fed to it..eeh nice try though.

If you can eat meat after watching this film- you have no soul. My whole family has gone veg now. I can not justify supporting an industry that causes mass suffering.

You have a beautiful family!
Denial goes a long way, and it's hard to break through a lifetime of conditioning for most meat eaters. Not to defend them, but nearly everyone is conditioned in some way. It's just that speciesism is a particularly destructive form of conditioning.

Do you pay taxes? Then you justify it. Sorry, mate. It's how life roles. You can't be totally 'animal-cruelty free'. I watched this after eating leftover turkey a few hours ago, to be honest.
No disrespect to your family, but if you go veg just by outdated footage of the most diabolical situations on earth, then I can probably tell your family that mermaids exist and seem to show a credible source and come up with 'mermaidism' and have everyone pledge to save the mermaids.
Possible.
SladesApprentice145 2 years ago
I'm vegan. I didn't need a film to encourage me. It was just a decision I came to collectively after many years. There were books, life experiences, (good and bad) and movies too.
You are correct Slade - one cannot be totally animal cruelty free. But that does not mean I'm going out to have a steak. Even a personal revolution of one - is still a revolution.
Now please- wow us with your credible source of mermaidism you, wanker.

Don't be offended, hun. I wasn't supposed to offend anyone but the gullible minds of the younger viewers that think they should be vegan just by watching a video. :) I apologise again if I offended you. <3
And we evolved fish, there are things called genetic mutations, and one genetic mutation has sex with another, boom. Another one. There's a whole freakin' population down there and our irresponsible oil spoils are KILLING them. :(
SladesApprentice145 2 years ago
Apology accepted. It was only the 'leftover turkey' comment that sparked my reply. All's well. In regards to someone turning vegan just by virtue of one video - well yes, that's a little unrealistic - it takes some planning and research for one thing. One has to educate themselves in regards to the ingredients derived from animal by-products for one thing. However - a video like this can most certainly INSPIRE one to pursue becoming vegan. And there's nothing wrong with that. :) Cheers!

watch food inc. It's cute that you think animal cruelty is outdated. Whatever helps you swallow that turkey.

Again, you want me to watch something on screen to have me change my mind? Nah.
SladesApprentice145 2 years ago
You watched this^ But no, I was just saying that you're outdated argument is rubbish. You can eat all the meat you want- just don't be ignorant to where it's coming from. I mean I/m sure it's only one slaughter house from the 80's that treats animals like barbarians.
manicmedic86 2 years ago
I actually state quite clearly when I said that SOME are not outdated but MOST are. Perhaps humans shouldn't be so darn gullible and believe the rubbish we see every day but instead going to a slaughter house to see what it's really like and decide on having a different lifestyle by EXPERIENCING instead of SEEING.
I'm a firm believer on we were raised to have a balanced diet from said experience.
SladesApprentice145 2 years ago
i don't need to go to a slaughter house to know that animals can be scared, feel pain and deserve to be treated with respect. I have 2 beautiful dogs that lick my face when I come home! I know through EXPERIENCE and SEEING them everyday that animals are not objects and they are not food.
I'm vegan and have a very balanced diet.
manicmedic86 2 years ago
Aw I have a dog too. :) Yet, I know no source from when or where these videos were taken, therefore I cannot be gullible as to change my diet completely.
I'm not even going to argue on how skewed your last sentence is though. haha. As stated, I have no disrespect toward vegans..but I have a lot of disrespect for PeTA.

wow it has a lot of impact... BECAUSE ITS NARRATED BY JOAQUIM PHOENIX!
still ok its kinda true what they present on the movie.... but i mean its a publicity stunt :D
all want what's best for their pockets
jackpaice 2 years ago
It's not a publicity stunt. They had so much trouble finding a production company to promote and sell the film, Joaquin Phoenix had to throw his own money into producing it. This film LOST money overall; the reality is, people don't want to see the footage. And something that no one wants to see is not best for anyone's pockets.

well ok i didnt know that... lol
im just too anti-hollywood for my own good
jackpaice 2 years ago
weather or not its a publicity stunt [and it probably isnt] ppl dont wanna watch this due to its graphic nature. ppl know what happens. you dont need to make a video of cows getting slaughtered, and killing of animals. its just not... wanted, if you will. and as to why you would show this to a bunch of squeamish 1st graders is beyond me... basic biology points out that meat is a must. i learnd that as a freshmen.... meat is needed one way or another.
noobletastic4 2 years ago
Did you learn to spell "whether", 'weather" as a freshman as well?
All joking aside, you may think meat is "needed" one way or another. Fine. It's not a question of whether it is needed or not. It is a question of how much longer this will go on. Meat production simply is not economically or ecologically sustainable.
Also, please stop spreading this lie that it is "needed". It may be WANTED, but it is by no means needed. I have a friend who is vegan, and he is in perfect health.

@AsSomedayItMayHappen Its true. I try and tell people the truth in animal industries and they block their ears and say " I dont want to know, im happy being ignorant"
DISGUSTING. The human race is disgusting
ryuuwyvern90 1 year ago
@ryuuwyvern90 The point of the film was not to make you feel like human beings are uniquely "disgusting" but that we're just like everything else that we exploit. Human beings are no more or less disgusting than any other species, we just have powerful means to exploit. And, of course, with this power comes great responsibility; responsibility that is often ignored.

I have seen this movie. Powerful stuff. Sickening in some parts. I couldn't stand to watch it. But i did. Its amazing!
