Yep!! I didn't sleep propley for a good 2 weeks after that and hated everyone. I of course became vegan for those reasons but seeing earthlings whilst being vegan made me so glad I was vegan and I'll never change. Ient it to a few people one friend wouldn't watch it cause she's likes meat and a matirialistic lifestyle to much pffff and the other went cold hard vegan!
They call 'EARTHLINGS' the "definitive animal rights film" ... "the most comprehensive film ever made about the ways people use animals for food, clothing, experimentation and entertainment" ... "the most violent film of all time ... only it's REAL."
One thing is for sure, this film has an impact on everyone who is brave enough to watch it. And now that EARTHLINGS has been released for free online, everyone can now see this important film -- and we want to get your thoughts and impressions. So whether you've seen the movie ten times over, or didn't get even past the trailer, POST YOUR STORY BELOW!
I have to say this is a horrific but a must see video.. I truly was not aware of the brutality practice on animals.. I made myself watch this video all through the end and my heart broke into millions of pieces. I did not much red meat, but a lot of chicken and turkey. I'm now a vegan for life. And I want to take action here in the U.S. and every where else there is mutilation going on in the world.. I cried all day and I cried myself to sleep on this matter. My God Bless us with the courage and the will to keep fighting for all animals to be safe and live in harmony.
i watched (most of) it and it made me feel so sad. i stopped drinking milk and eating eggs almost completely about a year ago and stopped eating meat 11 years ago, im going to stop eating animals products all together now. thats it, i'm done with increasing this unneccessary suffering!
I got two lovely quotes from the film (trying to look on the positive side and bring something good away from such horror), 'the animal should not be measured by man' and 'it takes nothing away from a human to be kind to an animal'.
My dad, who is a sometimes vegetarian, is watching it now, with his dog keeping him company... im looking forward to the outcome...hopefully my facebook friends will watch it and open their eyes.
I watched earthlings tonight and after watching it - there is no way I can go back to eating meat and I really want to spread the message to my friends and family. I have never been a big meat eater but now I really can't eat it. I can't believe how incredibly cruel humans can be to animals..
the garbage truck bit was heartbreaking ='( i had to close my eyes
but the image that will stay with me longer than any other is the close up of the poor animal that had just been skinned and was still alive and blinking ='( ='( that image brings me to tears every time i think of it, i'm crying just writing about it ='(
I watched Earthings for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I'm still having trouble keeping back tears when i think about it. before I was vegetarian planning to gradually move up to veganism, now i am determined to move forward much quicker. I wish this movie was on the high school curriculum in all countries.
I have been around animal cruelty all my life, with my parents, grandparents and step family all working in animal welfare and I thought I had a strong stomach towards this sort of stuff, but I tried to sit through just the trailer of this film and I was in tears and near vomiting. I couldn't even watch it all the way through. Since watching it I have been completely vegetarian ( I was still in the process of transistioning) and I will be working very, very hard to go Vegan.
I'm shocked and appalled that such cruelty still exists in society today. It's so very very sad.
