Hi,

I dont know if anyone has seen this or heard of this but i can seem to find a thread on it so i guess not.

I urge you all to watch this documenatry narrated by Joaquin Phoenix. Go to www.earthlings.com and the trailer will instantly pop up, you will then have the option to watch online. It s also on google video.

WARNING: This film is not for the faint hearted, it is pretty brutal. But it IS reality.

At least watch the trailer and take it from there.

THis film really changed my life.

Let me know your thoughts and opinions please.

Cheers x x

What’s it about, dare I ask?

aaronstevens134, I assume you’re not invovled with the making of this movie? Please provide a description of what it’s about and maybe why it changed your life.

Well, curiosity got the better of me. Looks like slaughterhouse and puppy-mill footage designed to make me feel guilty about the treatment of animals.
I’ll mull it over while eating a sausage pizza.

Hi Bryan, yeah sorry!

It’s about the way humans take advantage of animals in many different arenas such as food, clothing, entertainment and science.

It’s an eye opener.

6

Marley, sorry i do apologise.

No, i have nothing to do with this movie at all. I have left a mini descrption on the thread with Bryan.

This is the film that turned me Vegan, which has been a big lifestyle change as you could imagine.

Sorry again!!

Well, I already knew that humans take advantage of animals in many different arenas such as food, clothing, entertainment and science. I’m not sure trying to gross me out about it will accomplish anything, but I can only speak for myself.
By the way, one of my all-time favourite threads on this subject.

Bryan, its not designed to make you feel guilty. It is designed to inform you about how animals are being treated by ourselves, whether directly or indirectly.

Sure, you are entitled to your opinion and thats fine. It only grosses you because you dont want to open your eyes and realise where your food etc, comes from.

You should at least watch the whole documentary before judging it half-heartedly.

I have seen it and i believe it is my duty to inform people of there being such a film and try to encourage them to watch it.

By the way, one of my all-time favourite threads on this subject.

Thanks Bryan, looks interesting. I will read!!!

11

Oh, I’m not as delicate as that. I have no problem watching nature shows in which a lion pulls down a gazelle and rips open its abdomen to get to the intestiny goodness within.

12

You must be a city boy. Bless your heart. Us country folk, who grew up hunting, fishing, and with some exposure to farms already have a pretty good idea where food comes from. Tasty, tasty animals :smiley:

13

Sure, but your food isnt made by Lions is it Bryan?

Where does YOUR food come from?

14

Only if you start with the assumption that we’re all ignorant and blind.

15

Supermarkets.

Run by lions.

16

Yes, a city boy indeed Oak. Nice to meet you!!

Look, its like this. I have been eating meat all of my 28 years up until recently and now my feelings and beliefs have changed. And as with anyone who has certain beliefs, it is there right to share them with people, etc.

Is all i’m doing.

17

And all we’re doing is exercising our rights to share our feelings back at you.

18

I would never assume such a thing Smeg, it was an eye opener for me my friend.

And you? What do you think?

19

Look, the fact that people can thrive quite well without recourse to eating meat, seems to suggest that the main reason we eat it is due to conditioning.

Bryan, you are right sir. I am not here to fight. Just here to spread the word as i see it and discuss what comes my way.
