Movie Review: Earthlings
Earthlings is one of the most  talked about documentaries in vegan and animal rights circles.  I  avoided watching it for a year after going vegan because I thought I  ‘knew it all’ already. Little did I know that I still had something to learn.  I learned that  no matter how many facts you know, how many books you read, how many  rallies you attend or how many recipes you look at, nothing, NOTHING  compares to actually seeing an animal suffer.
This documentary uses a lot of what some people call ‘emotive’ images.  I  call them truthful images.  It goes through all of the various  industries that we humans have created that exploit animals and use them  as commodities; fashion, food, pets, circuses, research… I recommend this for anyone who is having trouble connecting what is on  their plate to something that is a living, sentient being that is  capable of feeling pain and knowing suffering.  WARNING:  This movie is very graphic. The movie is available to watch online for free.

Watch this if you’re brave enough to confront the truth.

    If you’re vegan and have never seen it, watch it. If you’re vegetarian, watch it. If you’re neither, watch it.
