Watch Earthlings For Free

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Should be watched by everyone in the US and to people who want to know more about how animals are treated, as the things that happen in this film happen all over the world.

This may have spoilers but to be honest that's a joke phenomenon compared with the spoiled lives of the animals within the film.I honestly am at a loss here. I don't know what to think anymore. Some reviews here say they were moved and ashamed to be human after watching it - while others feel its shock propaganda.I think somehow - juxtapositioning Moby's tunes with baby pigs squealing as some smiling worker snips its ears off kind of reminded me of the scene in "A Clock Work Orange" where the droog guy is forced to watch war footage with his eyes pinned open to the beautiful music of Beethoven. That's where I turned it off. Just too too much for me.I honestly don't know the answer here guys. OK its a collection of the hardest hitting animal torture scenes ever, and deliberately so. It's hellish. I felt ashamed. And I do mean ashamed. And humans are also the victims here. We don't know what we do, as Jesus apparently said. Do I want to be vegan? Yes of course! Can I apply selective blindness and continue to eat meat despite this documentary? I think sadly we know the truth to that answer. That is what scares me the most, my ability to choose to care or not. Would I die for this cause? Would I give my life for these animals. I don't know. Somehow the need to survive no matter what atrocities go on, can override us. We all must live with ourselves. If I killed myself and left a note saying, I died for the enslaved animals, would that be respectful to myself and the animals? Perhaps it would be. Because the currency here, is only, life. Another review said, it's just life! And to an extent I can accept that- although, you know, it's OK as long as it's not happening to you right? Or to a creature you really care about. Then it's a problem. I think personally, there's a time for feeling guilty but it's better spent trying to sort this mess out. Lets just start laying down our arms, and only offering love? Too hard right? Because if you do that, you know what will happen? You and everyone you love, will die. Just like the Native American Indians did. So live fighting or die for what you believe in?End.

This film depicts a microcosm of everything you never wanted to know about the treatment of animals worldwide, from the various meat and animal product industries to animal testing and research to the pet euthanasia epidemic.I made the transition to a vegetarian diet over the past two weeks, and I heard about and watched this movie yesterday. I cried a few times during the film; I had to pause it and take breaks because I couldn't deal with what I was seeing; and on several occasions I wanted to just stop watching. In the end, I made it through the entire movie in about three hours. This morning I couldn't eat breakfast, and tonight I am still dealing with stress and depression as I attempt to process the horrors that I have witnessed.I am traumatized. I will never look at a jug of milk, a carton of eggs, a leather belt, an animal fur, or any piece of meat the same way again.Nor should anyone.The revelations contained within this film are, without a doubt, among the greatest gifts that I have ever received in my life. I have spent twenty-nine years on this Earth living in ignorance of the oceans of blood that are spilled daily for the sake of my convenience and comfort; having now been duly informed, I have arrived at the inevitable conclusion that I can do just fine with a bit less of both. If, like me, you wish for these horrors to stop, then you need only to stop Demanding that they continue; the rest will sort itself out naturally.

Well to be honest , this documentary made me cringe in my seat and cry and saddened at parts where animals are tortured. It outlines the way in which animals are exploited in multiple nations for food,product testing etc, including where I reside (considering majority of vegans come from India).You may look at this documentary from the view as a critic or a sympathetic person, but the fact remains that we are destroying the natural equilibrium of nature around us. (No mention of poaching in this particular documentary as that also is cruel and selfish by us "humane" humans. )We can always change.. change for good and this particular documentary would make us think hard and analyze how we humans are part of a society which destroys other societies in order to just spend our lives on planet earth.Being an Indian made me default to vegetarian diet, but as I grew up I experimented with my diet and switched to white meat as I wanted to bulk up and was into bodybuilding. I was frustrated with eating vegan food and gaining bulk. Perhaps I was naive by considering that eating meat would do me good.! But now I won't and not at the cost of inhumane behavior and torture of animals . It may not be a revolutionary change but every drop added builds an ocean.
