I watched earthlings today, that was all I needed to commit myself to being a full vegan (was a bit off and on for a while) I was absolutely heartbroken and furious at our world for allowing such greed to take over
I'll be trying to get as many people to see this powerful doco - ignorance is no longer bliss with me around
I watched it and cried so much that stopped even realising i was crying until i felt my shirt collar sticking to me. I can't eat meat. Literally can't. It makes me feel ill. All that goes through my mind is how that poor thing died.
I watched the first part about the dogs only. I had just watched Gary Yourofsky's Best Speech ever video and really couldn't watch it anymore. I have known about cruelty to dogs and cats, gas chambers in the States etc, but the scale of our abhorrent treatment of all animals has blown me away. I am now into my 2nd day of being vegan after 60 years of eating meat. It is scary, but once you know something, you can't unknow it. I did scroll through Earthlings and do believe that it is very much something to be viewed - I'm not ready to finish it just yet.
I haven't seen this yet (I am about to) but I have seen Sharkwater.
I'm not sure how similar they are but Sharkwater is pretty awesome. Sad but awesome in that it achieves what it sets out to do with flying colours. I've shown it to quite a few people over there years. Very current considering I live off of the GBR.
Anyway, I'll probably check out Earthlings tomorrow!
I have it on DVD. First thing I ever brought online. I show it my family and friends. I always watch it with them so I've seen it many times. I tend not to cry much now, I guess I'm a bit desensitized, and I always stress to people to listen and think about what Joaquin is saying, not just go into shock from the horrifying footage. It has a very powerful and beautiful message to convey.
Omg, this video has made me hate humans even more!
I can't believe this is still legal! I don't understand how people don't have hearts!!!! This video made me cry so much, I'm almost out of tissues....
