Joaquin Phoenix Is Drowning

Actor Joaquin Phoenix thrashes underwater in a video that asks people to try to relate to frightened and panicked fish who die a painful death after being pulled from the water. Fish don't want to suffocate on land any more than we want to drown in water. Take the pledge: http://peta.org/joaquindrowns

So you are telling us to drown our selfs ?!

[officialpeta]

Of course not! We're telling you that fish slowly "drown" when fishermen pull them from the water. These animals suffer a slow death, akin to what we would experience were we to drown. The best way to help fish is to not eat them.

Please explain exactly how killing another living sentient being ever humane?

IT IS NOT ABOUT BEING VEGAN... IT IS ABOUT BEING HUMANE. Eating animals is an individuals right BUT being HUMANE is the key. Visit a slaughter house. Watch them kill cows and pigs... It will change the way you view everything. I eat meat but I believe in rights for all living creatures, this is not a paradox. -Dr.SS

ill go vegan wit u

[officialpeta]

Thanks for the comment. The difference is that we can choose. Millions of people refuse to eat meat are are thriving. The choice is easy, and it spares countless animals from suffering.

Because it has been going on since the beginning of time and is normal.Your ignorance is unbelievable,along with many other peta supporters.Are you going to say when a bear kills a deer that the bear is being unhumane,bears are ominivores just like we are.So they have the choice to eat either berries or meat.A human has the right to eat whatever they want no matter what.Alot peta values the life of an animal over that of a humans,which is pretty hard to believe.Peta please dont block this thanks

Because if your vegetarian you can still consume dairy and other animal based foods.

People do far worse to each other as a species, humanity begins at home.

I don't get why vegan? What's wrong with being vegetarian?

Don't you think it needs the Harlem Shake music?

Its not killing them because they taste good, or for entertainment, its killing them for nourishment and to survive. Since the beginning of time living things have eaten and been eaten. Its the circle of life. It may be sad but its life.
