"Using hidden cameras and never-before-seen footage, EARTHLINGS chronicles the day-to-day practices of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit."
Narrated by Joaquin Phoenix
I watched this and I am very surprised, shocked, and appalled! It was tough to watch, but really opened my eyes about what goes on "behind the scenes" of things from day to day. It's terrible, and I do agree everyone needs to know what is really going on in the world in which we live in.
ReplyDeleteWOW!
ReplyDeleteI started watching this movie with the intent to finish it, but I didn’t make it past the first part “Pets”. It got to the point where they where gassing the dogs and they just throwing the lifeless bodies around like it was no big deal. I don’t understand why they feel the need to take dogs off the streets if they are just going to kill them. I don’t know how someone can go to work every day and do that. One day our species as humans will fall to our own demise, and it will all be a ripple effect of what we are doing today. What happens when there are too many people to feed and not enough food?
OMG! Me too! It seemed like an inspirational video, but I also couldn't make it past "Pets." Believe me, I'm sure you don't want to know what happens -__-
DeleteAbby, I'm glad you tried. Yes, very hard to watch at times. I definitely had to build myself up to watch it, and I had to look away at times. We need more laws, especially farming laws. It blows my mind that we sit back and allow this!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I do agree that we should have more farming laws. I have also heard of this movement where one only buys things that are made within 50 miles of them. This would include your clothes, food, and other every day things. If this was the case if feel as if one would know more about what they are buying and how it was made. Therefore I think that more people would know what is really going on behind the scene.
ReplyDeleteI tried to watch this and got about half way threw and I had to stop. It made me phyically ill and I couldn't stop crying. I am an animal lover. There isn't one type of animal I don't find an instant love for and this just tore my heart out!! We fight for equal rights for humans we need to start fighting for equal rights for animals also. This was their land before it became ours and they have the right to live free without the worry of becomming harmed or killed. Just simply heart wrenching....
ReplyDeleteI have watched that movie several times and, at that time I feel sad for the animals. As soon as the movie ends I forget about it and resume my lifestyle of eating meat. I haven't seen enough of this kind of cruelty to make me change my lifestyle. If this was something I seen everyday, maybe I would change but it is something really not in the public unless you are an advocate of this kind of treatment to animals.
ReplyDeleteI tried the watching the movie as well and kept fast forwarding. It didn't get any better. I could never work in a slaughter house or even as a butcher. It must take some kind of will power or mental blockage to not think about the animals or the cries as they are being killed.
ReplyDeleteI guess we as a nation became so blinded as to how we acquire food or clothing and dont think about what happended to the animals for this to become possible. The movie makes you stop and think twice about how you feel towards animals.
I sincerely tried as hard as I could to watch this, so I could understand what was going on out there. I'm an animal lover and a vegetarian. As I was watching this I found myself screaming & I'm still crying. I could not watch this video anymore. That was the most heartbreaking thing I have ever seen in my life. It breaks my heart to think of all those poor helpless animals. I wish that people would see what they are doing and understand that it is wrong.. that it is so inhumane, so horrible. I feel literally sick from watching this. I can't believe that it is so bad out there for these poor animals.
ReplyDeleteGreat Movie
ReplyDeleteIm sorry i could not watch this i started the trailer and i knew there was NO way i could watch the film. I get way too emotional with this stuff i can not even sit through the commercials on tv that shows the animals with no homes and this trailer was 100x worse. They were beating the animals, stepping on them, and just do not understand how anyone with a heart could actually do this type of stuff.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Christina, no one should be able to do this kind of things to animals. Sadly, some people have no morals. Micheal Vick makes me sick to this day, any person who abuses an animal should be have to face punishment themselves. As long as we keep punishment at a minimal than it will continue. Also, the longer us as the consumer buy products - the longer it will last. So, the first step starts with us, switching brands and fighting for animals rights.
ReplyDeleteI watched the part on pets and most of the food/slaughter section. I am proud to say that my dog is spayed, up on her shots, and cared for to the best of my, and my family's, ability. One of the worst things that I've noticed even in our own community is signs advertising "free kittens" or other animals with no veterinary care. The worst thing for these free kittens is that most people trying to get a free cat aren't willing to pay for its veterinary care or its care in general. My friend's parents are veterinarians so I was able to see the huge volume of cats that they had to care for and heard first hand from them how cat populations are some of the most out of control.
ReplyDeleteI am beyond shocked and extremely sad. I tried viewing the trailer and stopped it shortly after it began. It was very disturbing to watch, it literally brought tears to my eyes. The little I did see makes me want to change my lifestyle. NO one, animals included, should be treated that way.
ReplyDeleteI watched the trailer i could not watch the movie. I feel these cruel things are happening all around us and no one takes action to it. I know down the road from my house there is a slaughter house like five minutes down the road and i feel so bad whenever i ride by and see the animal trailer pulling down that long lane. Also there is a butcher shop pretty close too. I dont understand how people can have these occupations and feel no shame. I dont understand how someone could step on an animals head and make blood come out of its nose and not feel the least bad. I feel these things are inhumane and need to be addressed with force.
ReplyDeleteI watched the trailer, but I knew I couldn't even stomach to watch the movie. This is disgusting and simply sad. It is cruel and needs to stop. Its hard to even comprehend how someone can do such a thing. I agree with Burgandy, how do these people feel no shame? This was disturbing...no one should be treated with so little respect. People act like animals are like a table. Inanimate, replacable items with no meaning. I don't understand, I never will.
ReplyDeleteI have watched this movie twice. Once with my wife and once with my kids to see what they had to say about it. I do feel that the issues we face today to educate the world on the humane treatment of animals but this movie shows only one side of the story and that could be considered irresponsible journalism. It would be like showing how Micheal Vick treated his dogs and saying all dog owners are this way and its just not true. My grandfather was a cattle farmer and pig farmer his whole life and he has never nor has any one ive ever known treated their farm raised animals this way. I have lived around it my whole life and the worse i have seen is how stray animals get treated. I think that those that commit these crimes agains nature should be punished but the attack should not be damaging to people who do it the right way. We need the help of people who have been raising farm animals humanely too but i dont think that they would be very willing if what is being done hurts their business as well.
ReplyDeleteI actually didn't watch the whole movie,but while watching the portion of the movie that I did, it made me think of animal cruelty in a different way. I can't say that it was enough to stop making me eat the type of animals that I already do, or that it made change my life style, but it did open my eyes somewhat.
ReplyDeleteI watched all the way to wear our clothing comes from. The prior was enough for me. I realize that there is always going to be meat and in order to have meat there's going to be slaughtering of animals. The way of slaughtering being done is so inhumane. There has got to be a better way with none to very little suffering for these animals. They basically kill them alive! Alot of the animals are still alive even after they have their throats cut open to bleed to death which takes time. That was disgusting...We can put men on the moon, there's gotta be a better way so these animals aren't suffering so badly.
ReplyDeleteMalissa
OMG, unbelievable!! I can't watch anymore. I never knew animals were treated this inhumanely. These animals are abused in the worst ways. Can't believe that people treat animals this way. From euthanasia to gas chambers, to slaughter houses.
ReplyDeleteI am through eating animals. Done!
I made the decision without question that no more meat for me. The way they slit open these animals there is no way I can every eat meat again. My decision was easy. Had I known that this is the way animals are treated I would have given up meat longer.
ReplyDeleteWow carol, great to hear!! Thanks!!!!
ReplyDelete@Frank, for sure there are good farmers out there...of course, I still don't agree with killing animals for any reason, BUT there are people who have grown up on farms or around that kind of stuff their whole lives, so it's all they know. Usually the local farmers are better than the big factory farms. There is no reason to have a loooooong torturing and killing process. People who do eat meat should try to buy locally.
ReplyDeleteafter seeing the trailer in class, I'm not too sure if i could watch the whole thing. the small amount that i saw was sickening and sad. i knew in the back of my head that stuff probably happened like that but it is way different actually seeing it.
ReplyDeleteTaShanna Parker
Just watching the trailer and a few clips already has my mind racing on ways to change my way of eating. I'm trying to become a vegetarian one step at a time, I've narrowed it down to just fish and chicken so far, and will continue to strive. I can't just quit cold turkey. (no pun intended) I really don't think I could stomach watching the entire movie. I even left the little packet we received in class at my friends barber shop to help spread the word. I don't understand how stuff like this is published and no law enforcement is taking action to stop this madness completely !
ReplyDelete-Bria Kinder
This film is very disturbing and I am shocked at how people treat animals and just go on like it is okay. These people make me sick! I think everyone should watch this movie, and become aware of how animals every day are being abused and killed harshly.This film gives animals a voice, and they are screaming HELP!
ReplyDeleteFrancis Yangello
i agree with frank this film is disturbing bt i gives u the harsh reality of how people treat animials every day
ReplyDeleteNicole KNight
After watching this film in class i think anyone that even has a thought about harming a animal should recieve the death penalty. This film is to inform all them rappers and rich people that are going around bragging about their thousand dollar fur coats, they just paid thousands to kill a sheep off old McDonald's farm.
ReplyDelete^^^that last post was mines
ReplyDelete-Dominick Perry
I never watched the movie but the trailer alone made my skin crawl. The especially gruesome thing about the movie is to see Americans doing the bad things. Seeing someone from another country doing the tortures sort of removes you from the emotionally charged scene; however, seeing someone who you could associate as being your neighbor, friends, family, etc. doing these things makes it a lot more personal and hurts you even more.
ReplyDeleteAlso to reply to someone's statement up top, my grandfather was a butcher. I asked him if he killed the animal right there in the shop. He said that they were all shot a single time in the head; not a single one suffered needlessly.
ReplyDeleteWhen I watched the trailor for this movie in class I was shocked. It makes me sick to my stomach that people can do things to animals without thinking twice about it or without thinkiing its wrong. After I watched it i wanted to become a vegetarian without a doubt.
ReplyDeleteK.Ballentine
I just can't imagine doing anything so horrific or cruel to an animal. I enjoy my pets entirely too much, and to see what these animals have went, or is going through is something I just can't get out of my mind.
ReplyDeleteMelinda Wine
I did not watch this movie, but from what was shown in class I was throughly disgusted. I have already decided that for Lent i will be giving up meat, and if I can do it for 40 days, then i can continue to do it. These animals need a voice and if it helps I will be one less mouth they need to feed. The way that these animals are tortured, killed, and throwen around is horrifying to think about. Hopefully one day people will get the same treatment that they gave to these animals.
ReplyDeleteJessica Immediato
The movie Earthlings seems very graphic. Ms. Norbeck showed our Ethics class a trailer and I don’t think I am brave enough to watch the full movie. The images that were recorded made me very upset and I felt horrible for all the animals in the video. Since I am not brave enough to watch the truth, I urge you to watch it. I know every day millions of animals are being treated with disrespect. They are killed in awful ways and for what. It’s not fair and even though I can’t watch the movie I’m glad these people had the courage to make this eye-opener film. For several years now, I have taken beef and pork out of my diet. One of the main reasons is how they brutally kill the animals. I feel the procedure is unacceptable. I try to urge my friends and family not to eat it as well, but maybe this movie will finally allow them to stop there bad habits. I am aware nobody is perfect and people have to make a living but it just comes down to a level of ethics and morals.
ReplyDeleteCamille Nicole D.
this movie is grossly appalling yet shockingly entertaining. EM
ReplyDeleteI can't bring myself to watch this movie.. i've watched clips and i can't watch the entire movie.. it's horrible and it makes me sad more then anything. I can't believe that people can actually do what they do to innocent animals. It's not fair and it literally makes me sick to my stomach. I can't imagine waking up knowing that my job was to go and torment an animal. it's sick.
ReplyDeleteTaylor
I'm still debating on whether or not to watch this documentary. I was disturbed enough by the preview that I'm not sure I could hand an hour or more of the same images. I know in my mind that terrible things happen in this world to both animals and humans, so I don't think seeing actual video of these happenings is going to make a difference to me. I think cruilty towards any living thing is bad, not just animals. So I already know where I stand on this subject and think the movie might just be a little bit of an overkill for me. The images I saw in the trailer made me seriously nautious and I thought about it for days. So maybe watching the movie just wouldnt be a good idea for me in particular.
ReplyDelete-Ashley Morris
I have watched trailers for this movie and yet I can not bring myself to watch the movie. I love animals way to much to see them being treated in a horrible way. I also unfortunately love meat way to much to watch the movie because I know that I will stop eatting meat not only because of the way they are treated but also because its disgusting. The trailers for this movie is enough to know that animals are mistreaded and killed for unreasonable reasons. People are sick to do these horrible things to animals, they are just like us, just aren't able to communicate in the way we do. Even though I can not watch this movie I will tell people I know to watch it beacause it is a good movie and people should know what they are eatting and the way animals are treated.
ReplyDeleteTiffany Yeich
After Watching the trailer I know that I can not Stomach or handle this Movie. I love animals and think that they should be treated as gently and as kind as you would treat a person. Knowing that I am someone who eats meat and did not know that this was going on makes me upset. We as people don't know how what we are eating gets on our plates, we just know we like it. People should be informed and know how animals are being treated. I really hope that more people watch this movie and take a stand so that these animals aren't tortured anymore.
ReplyDelete~Stacie Hill
This video literally makes me sick to my stomach. I can't understand how people can be so oblivious and inhumane. It is a horrible feeling knowing what they actually do to these poor, helpless animals. No one should be able to do these kinds of things to any animal. I saw that some people talked about having laws against this type of torture and I 100% agree. However, until people start taking notice to the horrific things going on and stop buying the products it will continue.
ReplyDeleteThis video is absolutely disturbing. It shows the cruel and evil side of the human race. How can humans treat animals so unfairly? This video reals makes me question why am I not a vegetarian. I would not want to contribute to the cruel torture and slayings of the animals being bred for food.
ReplyDeleteJoseph Tighe
This movie is CRAZY... i mean we all know that our food and a lot of clothes and things come from animals, but to see the torture and abuse that goes into the slaughter of the animals is just wrong. If an animal has to die to for us to have food or clothes then it has to die, its wrong but we cant stop people from killing animals. What needs to stop is the treatment, the terrible living conditions, the mistreatment and abuse, the starvation, the suffering, i mean you can go on and on. Just get it over with if your gonna kill an animal, do it and be done its easy dont half-ass it,(exuse my french) and watch as the animal is hanging and suffering right in front of you. Its amazing how people can wake up and go to work everyday knowing this is the kind of stuff they will have to do. After watching this movie i will for sure thing differently about everything, food, clothing. Everyone should watch this movie or atleast know about what goes on.
ReplyDeleteThe movie changed my mind on what i buy,eat and how i feel about animals.it is a shame to see human beings putting animals in so much pain.I promise to care and not eat meat,buy fur and the list goes on and on.Let everyone watch and share the movie it will change peopleS attitude toward animal products.
ReplyDeleteMercy K
I watched the trailer and I could not even get through that completely. It is very disturbing to see animals being treated like this.
ReplyDeleteLyneisha Watts
I have watched the movie and truly can't believe some f the footage that was shown. Skinning animals alive, slitting the throats on the dolphins, and going after those poor baby seals is just down right ignorant, selfish, and disturbing that people do this and are able to sleep at night. Its ashame our world is based on selfishness, greed, and money. I can't believe people have the heart and mind set to do the cruel things that they do to fellow "earthlings". I wish these people would wake up and realize the pain and fear they inflict on these animals is wrong and should be taken care of differently or stopped completly.
ReplyDeletePaige M. Johnson
I truly believe everyone should watch this video. They not only deserve to know how our food clothing and more is being made but should come to the realization that we are the ones promoting all this inhuman activity towards animals. Its horrible to think that we have not a care in the world about the chicken or beef that we eat because we just think its a qucik and easy process. If mor epeople realized what factories were doing to the animals we eat, i think majority would eventually turn to a vegetarian lifestyle. Everyone should take a feww of their time to at the very least watch the trailor.
ReplyDeletePaige m. Johnson
From the trailer alone it seems like its really sending a mesasage. Having a famous actor in on this, like Phoenix, makes it all the more impactful. I think on this subject if you want to get your point across you have to show some horrible things. This seems like its doing that.
ReplyDeletei couldn't get through the whole movie because it was so appalling. but from what i saw it has been very disturbing and impactful watching how humans torture,kill and abuse animals.
ReplyDeleteYou get the idea from just the first few minutes of the movie. I don't understand how your average human being can simply do these things to these animals. It's almost as if these people get a thrill out of torturing the animals the way they do because I know there must be much much much more humane things that can be done. For example, instead of skinning an animal alive let it live out its life then you can do that.
ReplyDelete- Robert H.
Just by watching the trailer, I know I could never get myself to watch the whole movie. I will never be able to understand how a person can enjoy inflicting so much pain on an innocent animal. It is absolutely ridiculous. The torture that these animals experience is for the provision of our clothes, shoes, and food. If Americans chose to wear clothing and shoes that are not made from animals, the cruelty of animals may start to decrease.
ReplyDeleteEmily Murschell
Ok Ive watched the trailer for this movie. Im a guy and I can honestly admit im a little intimidated to watch this movie. Especially by seeing all these different posts. Ill guess Ill man up tonight and watch this. I really dont wanna turn into a veagen.

This is a tough video to watch. People who can do these things to helpless animals deserve to get punched in the face multiple times. There needs to be more laws to enfore this from NOT happening, if not then this is just gonna sadly continue.
ReplyDeleteZach McDonough
i agree with you... somebody needs to be punched in the face or punished somehow for doing this to animals... its one of the toughest videos ive ever had to watch... almost impossbile to watch... just sad to see that things like this happen and that no matter what they probably will continue....

I couldnt even watch this whole video what them cows are having done to them is so mean. It is for us to eat and have milk but it is so wrong.

if that video is what i think it is, i could never watch anything like that. it would hurt too much to see animals actually get hurt. its one of those things that i would rather not be aware of
ReplyDeleteoh my god! i couldn't even watch the full trailor. This is horrifling and its upseting. If you need fur or food and most kill the animal, than do it in a more humane why than stepping on a animals head!!!! Put the animal to sleep instead of torturing them while their alive! This makes me sick and angry!
ReplyDeleteBrianna Ottinger
I could barely watch this.. I agree with Brianna there are much more humane ways to kill and even then they should only be used for necessity. Furthermore, they should not be wasteful after killing. I have a new found respect for animal rights activists and all they do.

I watched half of the movie. I don’t really know why I stopped watching it, but its just sadness me to witness such things in this world. I guess its moments like these that changes ones outlook on like. I understand that we need food to survive, but I will never understand greed. That’s what it all boils down to in the end. They use nail guns, rather than something quick, and painless because of money.

ooh my God!!! They took their skins out before they even die. They really crazy people. How can we stop them no to do that? I love to eat meat too, but how can I know the different between any kind of meat if I want to buy it because they really makes me feel sick.
ReplyDeletewhatever it was that was skinned in the trailer, when it blinked I almost threw up...
ReplyDeleteI wonder how the human do anything to live a better life without care or even think how it would hurt any body else like animals.
ReplyDeleteI also wonder how can I buy or eat meet from any store and knowing that this is the way they kill the animal.
It is awful that animals have to get skinned alive! That is unneccessary torture. If you are going to kill an animal (even though I do not agree with it), you should at least put them out of their misery before painful torture.
ReplyDeleteKarly Turner
This things people do for money make no sense, and it is not fair to animals who do not even live under the concept of money. We are all equal and this should be respected. No species is more privileged than others.
ReplyDeleteI have seen many of the videos of slaughter houses on Peta2.com. I haven't watched recent vidoes though because they are just so hoffic and they would just ruin my day. I have been a vegetarian for many years and I am always being asked why I am a vegetarian. I always respond with I dont want to eat dead animals.I ask them if they have seen what slaughter houses do to these animals. I agree, everyone should be required to see this movie.
ReplyDeleteI AGREE THIS HAS CHANGED MY MIND ON ALOT AND I COULDNT EVEN WATCH THE WHOLE THING.
DeleteI, can not watch this movieI'm sick to my stomach.please someone has to do something.

ReplyDeleteTHis was crazy, but i eat meat. All kinds of meat but pork. I do not eat pork. So i guess im wrong to say that i would not wear fur, but i eat steak. This was a graphic film.

It is tough, humans must eat to survive, but I agree with Jessica Z's statement that they should be given some pain medicine. I never really looked into not eating meat.

ReplyDeleteI really dont understand how people could harm an innocent animal. People like the ones in the video make me sick to my stomach that they can do such horrible things to animals and live their life like its okay. I wish I could find these people and do exactly what they do to animals to them.
ReplyDeleteIs unbeleivable how people can hurt animals, but sadly i have seen someone be this heartless. There was a lost dog in my yard once and it was cut up on his face,neck, and paws due to the chain that he was on. So when i relized he was gentle i took wire cutters and removed the chain. The SPCA came to take him to get a medical evaluation and to see if they could fnd the owner. Well they did and he wanted to sue me for cutting "the perfectly good chain." After that I was glad to find out the dog was not returned to him, but placed in a better home.

This happened to my Uncle's neighbor! The neighbor's dog was abused and in a tight chain most of the day. Finally, my uncle called the SPCA and ended up getting full ownership of the dog.

i'm sorry i have high-blood pressure and i could not continue to watch it was too much for me. i have never thought of animals being treated like this. i have two cats that came from my husband's friend. so they were not from breeders. also because i Muslim i eat halal meat. and in islam the animals must not go throw any abuse also when killed they must feel the least amount of pain also non of the animals are allowed to see the knife when being killed and no other animal must see another animal being killed.
ReplyDeletei watched the trailer of this movie and i'm not sure if i will be able to watch the movie. this behavior toward animals is just not right. the part that really got me was when they were skinning the animal alive. that was just too painful. we humans need to show love and respect toward this animals. these animals need to live and not die the way they are in this movie.
ReplyDeleteI could not even watch the full trailer of this documentary. I don't understand why some people treat animals so badly, this behavior is despicable and these people need to be put in jail. There needs to be laws that protect animlas from this terrible abuse. Gabrielle P
ReplyDeleteThis was cruel I don't get why people are just ok with treating animals in that manner. I think people forget animals feel pain too.

I pulled up the trailer because I knew I couldn't make it through the whole movie. That was gruesome enough for me. I hate all of these videos so much because I can't stand seeing the animals suffer.
ReplyDeleteEmily Gardiner
I could not watch this. It breaks my heart to see such cruelty. Tears are still in my eyes.
ReplyDeleteThe trailer was enough for me! How do people sleep at night? I will probably have nightmares from the small clip!
ReplyDeleteSo I had the bright idea to skip ahead of the little intro and jump right in to about fifeen minutes in, right to a goat hanging upside down, still alive, and about to be slaughtered. Then to top it all off, I seen a cow get dehorned. As much as i love steak, it might be time to go vegetarian, this stuff just makes me sick. -Vincent Fioravanti SCC
ReplyDeleteThroughout this whole video I was sickened scene after scene after scene. It never gets any better. Just all of this slaughtering never stops. Day after day it all continues. This is all just wrong and unethical. People really should put a stop to all of this.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth W.
Surprised, shocked, and appalled sums it up for me...... more people need to SEE whats really going on.....
ReplyDeleteKamisha Martins
I was only able to tolerate five minutes of this film.. Heart breaking to watch.
ReplyDeleteI actually could not watch the whole video it was very disturbing to my eyes so I watch the trailer. I honestly never knew animal went through so much harm. I can't stand seeing theses animals suffer. Tanaya M
ReplyDeleteI couldn't make it through the video. How heart breaking. This needs to be more public than it is.
ReplyDeleteThis video is very moving. I think the narrators best explanation of how we relate to the "other nations" is how we are all caught in the net of life and time.
ReplyDeleteCharles H.
The caption really does some up the movie. This was very difficult to watch how we not only treat different animals but how society treats themselves. Watching the animals be shot or gassed was very heartbreaking. I had to look away many times and look at my own pets and think "I couldn't imagine my pet going through that." Just how cruel society is, is so hard to handle. Really gave me a different perspective of the world as we know it. All this is just wrong and unethical in so many ways. More people need to watch this movie and maybe some things may change.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you. A lot of the movies I have watched made me look at my dogs and say the same thing. It is just heartbreaking how far some people will take the abuse and not have a care in the world. I don't understand how a person that would harm an animal like these people have could be able to sleep at night.
DeleteI couldn't get through more than about 40 seconds of this video. It really broke my heart. We as a society need to make changes! There needs to be tougher laws for how all animals are treated, including farm animals. Animals are living beings and they should have the same rights we have. Doing this assignment has really showed me how cruel the world is through the eyes of these animals.
ReplyDeleteI cannot understand how humans can treat animals in such a horrific manner. There was once a time when animals were worshiped and loved for what they provided. People didn't kill more than they ate and they showed respect and appreciation to the animals.When did the fashion, entertainment, and sporting needs of society become so important that we have began severely abusing and mutilating animals. Earthlings depicts how humans are quickly become far more barbaric than the animals.
ReplyDeleteBrenda L.
This is a great movie to show the horrendous issues with animal abuse but
ReplyDeleteit's something that we don't think about. We will say how sad and horrifying this movie is and then go eat steak for dinner. It just seems like it's a part of life but it needs to be under control. Seems like some people are taking advantage of abuse and that kind of makes me feel like those people have some kind of psychological problem.
-J. Keen
You never really think about what happens to the food you eat, or you try not to think about. This video has opened up my eyes. I don't think this will ever stop because people need food to survive and even if we make the conditions better for the animals, there is always going to be people who do the wrong thing.
ReplyDeleteI never really knew it was this horrible. it has really made me think twice about the things i purchase in stores. i will be the one reading lables and buyin organic with as much as i can... i couldnt even watch this all. just sad. EVERYONE SHOULD watch this.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't able to make it through the video but it made me think about how much I care about all of the homeless animals out there. I am lucky enough to share my life with five animals that I "rescued" from a shelter but really they rescue me every day with their amazing capacity for unconditional love. One of my dogs was so horribly abused even after six years of living the good life with my family he still bares the scars from wounds that he suffered at the hands of incredibly cruel people, yet he loves everyone and even with arthritis he will always get up when I come into the room just to sit by my feet and get a hug. I will always be thankful that these precious creatures have such a capacity for forgiveness that they can look past the cruelty doled out to them from truly evil people, and give love to us. It would be wonderful if humans could be that kind.
ReplyDeleteWow! I am in total disbelief. This documentary was well planned out. I was crying and very emotional watching some of the clips. I could not watch the entire food section it was too graphic. The wrenching and screeching sounds of the piglets and the turkeys was tear jerking. I was intrigued how the documentarist used the analogy of the racism to explain specieism; well done. Prior to watching this documentary I had not seen anything like this. I did know that animal shelters euthanized when they either became over populated or if an animal became deathly ill, but not at these capacities! These realities of animal cruelty are heartbreaking. Understandably, it is only right for people to be upset and advocate for these defenseless animals. It amazes me to see the lack of care, concern, and compassion shown for these animals by their abusers. They are angry, they holler and curse at the animals. How do they sleep at night? Maybe the hostility is displaced anger and also a coping mechanism for the horrible acts of violence they must induce against these animals. Again I say how can they just view this as a job? Death by anal electrocution, really? The entertainment aspect of this documentary is also too much to watch entirely. I am ashamed of my fellow humans that commit these despicable inhumane acts!
ReplyDeleteI personally could not watch the movie... however I did watch the trailer and that itself was very disturbing and hard for me to see.. I started tearing because there is no one reason in the world for animals to have to go through that pain and suffering. That is pure torture at its highest form and it's sickening. This world has come a long way since hundreds of years ago but its not all for the best. That stuff needs to end because there are plenty of ways to eliminate animal cruelty and to save animals lives or at least end the torture and suffering!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't even watch the whole trailer. I started to tear up and I almost threw up. People are so disgusting. Not only the ones who are doing the tormenting and killing, but the ones who support it by buying the fur and the meat. I am to blame as well because i do not know where the chicken or beef somes from when i cook it. I could be buying it from a company who does horrible things to the animals. It makes so sick just thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with these people? These people deserve to have the same horrible things done to them. If you can torture an animal, you have no conscious and will harm anything- even a human. These people must have a mental illness to allow this to go on with these innocent animals.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I will have the courage to stomach this whole movie. Maybe piece by piece. Watched up to the gas chambers, but not into them. scanned to the tumors on the pigs....There is a parallel between what human do to animals and the holocaust. Just different creatures on both ends.
ReplyDeleteAs far a neutering, I know some folk that absolutely love animals, take care of stray cats living on their land. They just don't believe in neutering and spaying. I don't think they have a clue about the big picture. And what about when these folks are no longer on this earth? What is shocking is what industry is allowed to get away with just because of big business. I'm sickened.
This video is sickening never knew the things people do to animals. I just don't understand how people can sit there and support/do these things. Animals have lives too.
ReplyDelete-Vadil L
I watched about one minute of this trailer and couldn't bear to watch anymore. This is horrid! All of these animals being tortured for our needs definitely makes me feel very guilty about the things that I am using myself. I will be making some changes to the things that I buy and will be more conscientious about the things that I can help prevent. No animal should be subject to this kind of treatment. Especially not for our "needs".
ReplyDeleteI think everyone should know what really goes on behind the scenes. As heartbreaking as it is to watch the clips it's teaches a lot of knowledge about what animals go through. They were not put here to be beaten and killed for human use.
ReplyDeleteWhen I started to watch the video I had to stop. This is just terrible! You never really know what is going on behind closed doors until you really take time to research and look. Its a shame that people are still allowing such things to go on in this day and age. We are a established society we should be able to not treat animals in such a way just for profit its sickening.
ReplyDeleteIt was extremely difficult to watch the video but I managed through it. It is a mind blowing video that provides exact insight into the cruelty that animals endure. Made me sad!
ReplyDeleteAfter reading all the comments first I decided not to watch the video. Everyone's response was pretty hard to ready let alone watch the actual video. I never really realized how many animals are abused and beaten until I started to doing this work for this class. It really is ashame how people treat these poor animals. Does it make me want to go vegetarian? No but it defiantly makes me aware of buying certain products and looking on items to see what is and what's not tested on animals.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading a lot of the comments, I could not bare to watch the video. The response that everybody has said are very harsh and terrible about what was said about animals. Animals are used for food , but that does not make me want to go vegetarian. It definitely does open my eyes to what they do just to get this meat and will make me look closer at what meat I will buy though. Again animals are worth more the what they make them out to be, without animals we would not be able to have the food we have or supplies that we have.
ReplyDeleteI only watched the trailer and after watching that I couldn't even begin to watch the movie. Just watching the trailer alone was enough for me to see how the animals were treated. I couldn't believe the one part with the cow and how it was still alive! It just saddens me how humans can be so cruel to animals and think that it is only a job to them. I know for me I would have nightmares at night and not be able to sleep and even not to have those imagines in head. I understand that we need these animals for food and other things however we as humans do not have to be so cruel in killing them and making them suffer.
ReplyDeleteI was only able to watch half the movie. I could not stomach any more than that. It's unbelievable the cruelty the animals are put through. The more I do for this class the more it makes me want to change my eating habits. Its just giving me such a different output on life.
ReplyDeleteI did not watch the video, however, after reading peoples' comments that was enough for me to know how horrible this video was. I had never looked into animals rights, and the abuse animals go through for things I may have never given a second thought to. Some of the things include the products I use or the clothes I wear. After learning all of this information I will be checking into the products, food and clothing in which I choose to purchase.
ReplyDeleteDana M.
I tried watching this video before and could not get through the whole thing. It disturbs me that animals are treated this way. My brother actually watched this whole movie and became a vegan. I don't think I could go that far but I do think there should be a change in the way these animals are being treated.
ReplyDeleteJaleesa Colon, SCC
Honestly, I have never been able to truly watch videos or look at pictures of animals being tortured and beaten. Then to turn around and say that these animals are going through this pain just for humans profit is so sad and disgusting. These animals have no say. We speak for them and I believe many people don't look at it that way. We can't change everyones mind on animal rights but we can make people more knowledgable on the topic and thats the most important thing we can do.
ReplyDeleteMeghan Dineen
The world is such a different place than what people told me growing up. I couldn't make it through the video, it was too much for me to take in. I am saddened by the power of money over ethics. The things people will do to make a dollar, using animals as dispensable chips in a wicked game of poker. How do people call this a days work? Psychologically I could not handle it.
ReplyDeletePam F SCC
Emmily H. I couldn't watch the whole trailer, it really sickened me. I just don't understand why it is ok for people to do the things they do to these innocent animals.
ReplyDeleteThis video really opened my eyes on what is going on in the world! It was hard to watch but I think it's important because not many people are aware of how animals are being treated. It's awful that people think it's okay to do the things they do to these poor animals. Animals have no choice on anything, so It should be up to us to change this and make a difference! I love animals... so seeing this makes me want to cry.
ReplyDeleteThis video was very hard to watch. I couldn't even watch the whole thing. After they threw the dog that was still alive in the trash truck and compacted it I had to turn it off. I know it's important to see these kind of things so we are aware of what goes on in the world. It is just very hard to watch and to believe. I don't know how anyone can harm people and animals the way that they do.

ReplyDeleteThis movie was not only appalling but heartbreaking as well. To see these animals tortured and killed in the worst ways possible was unbelievable. I could not even fathom what goes through the mind of someone who could do such things. They should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
I watched this movie just to see what it was all about. I almost cried, and I am not an emotional person. It is terrible what these animals go through and how we do not even think about it. Things like this shouldn't go untold.
ReplyDeleteThis was heartbreaking. It made me really sad to watch this knowing that it's really happening. Words can't describe the horrible feeling in my gut watching this movie. It's hard to believe that people are getting away with this, and nothing is being done, or even thought of by the higher ups.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't finish watching the whole movie but from what I seen it was just unbelievable sad and hard to watch what these people do to the animals. It was very heartbreaking.
ReplyDelete-Jamae P
I could not finish this video. It breaks my heart that people can get away with such horrible things. Killing animals for food will never change, but there has to be a way to make it not so terrible. I personally think that someone who is able to partake in these actions must be mentally unstable. Torture is torture, whether it is on an animal or a human. The lack of compassion, concern or care of the people abusing these animals is a shock. People do not think about where the food they put in their mouth comes from, including myself. This video truly opened my eyes. It breaks my heart to think of a helpless animal going through this torture. America needs to become more educated on animal cruelty and what can be done to prevent it.
ReplyDeleteI understand they we as the population feed off of animals, and this is all a part of the food chain. The treatment and how we go about killing the animals to get our food is one thing that kind of gets under my skin. America should create a system that prevents random people from torturing our animals. Instead the should be a company that does it for everyone, but they should only kill and feed off of the animals that are on the verge of death or elderly. So that way we give the animals a chance to live out their lives.
ReplyDeleteEarthlings are defined as all who inhabits the earth, that means all animals and living things that walk the earth. Its just crazy how all earthlings aren't treated equal when it comes to living. Animals are like humans. They just interact and live differently.
ReplyDeleteI choose not to watch these videos but from what everyone else is commenting it seems as thought it was touching. I do understand it is life and this is how people and animals have to leave, it is the way of life and is the natural way of life. But I do not think people should hurt these animals if they are not doing it instantly for food to stay alive. Other than that reason it is the way of life.
ReplyDeleteTaylor W
I could not finish watching the video. I had goose bumps all over. There are no words to describe it. There is no excuse for these animals to be subjected to this deliberate sufferings. The animals are maimed, psychologically tormented and die painfully. It is shameful that's all I can say.

ReplyDeleteMOrtiz
This video just breaks my heart to pieces. I just can't understand how these people could ever be so cruel to animals. Animals are living just like us and I believe that they should be treated as people and not have to suffer. I hope that they suffer one day just as much as the animals did so they can get a feel of the pain and what they put those innocent animals through.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is wow. These videos truly get to me as I am watching this I was wondering how people can close their eyes at night after torturing these animals. What gives a person the right to treat these animals as they do. I am very judgmental when it comes to people who abuse any animal. I was very resentful towards the eagles when they hired Michael Vick because I felt he didn't deserve a second chance and anyone else who has abused animals. I don't understand what people are thinking when they do this.
ReplyDeleteThomasineJ
After watching this movie, I do not want to eat meat ever again. I do not understand why the animals have to be treated this way in order for us to eat them. One scene shows how meat is supposed to be processed in the kosher way, however, the cow endured so much pain. The facilities weren't clean and the animal suffered. The condition that the pigs are kept in was so sad. They were eating each other because they were hungry. Dogs were fed cyanide and cats were put in gas chambers. If this movie doesn't make someone sensitive to the cruel treatment of animals, then I dont know what will.

I guess I must have grown up different then a lot of people. My mom was really crazy about eating natural but that didn't mean not eating meat. She did tell us what they do to animals like chickens and lambs over crowding them in small cages and killing them but again, my father's entire Italian family killed chickens in their backyards to eat them. Either way, it is cruel but we still have to eat and we are still going to eat. Killing an animal is cruel it doesn't matter how you do it.. Again, as humans we make choices you have the right to choose to eat meat or not. You also choose to eat food that is processed with horrible chemicals. Splenda has arsenic in it but people use it everyday. My mom told me she read a book called Skinny Bitch and after that book you really will change your eating habits. I really don't think about it much but I am not oblivious to the fact that the meat I eat is from animals we kill.
ReplyDeleteI am not oblivious to the fact that the meat I eat comes from animals we kill but humans are carnivores. We eat meat and have killed animals to survive since the caveman. Regardless of how you kill an animal, you are still killing it. It is cruel because we aren't necessarily killing animals today for our survival but you are foolish to think that the meat just magically gets to your table. My mom told me she read a book called Skinny Bitch and after reading it, she didn't want to eat anything. She said that it explains how chickens are over crowded in coops, lambs are crammed in cages and our food is filled with horrible chemicals including arsenic. Now she reads all the labels on the food she buys, but again, it is a choice she makes and has the right to make.
ReplyDeleteI know I'll be upset but I am interested watching the documentary. It looks very informative well directed. The way we treat animals is a true judge of character. Why do we feel so entitled? Is one thing to live and survive but it's another to be overly self-aware, greedy and wasteful. I hate the human race more and more as this class goes on.
ReplyDeleteSavannah M.
I have tried to watch the whole video in the past and I could not get through it and I could not get through it again now. It is so disturbing that is done to the animals in the world. I think that it is great that this movie was made to show the public what takes place “behind the scenes.” I am definitely more cautious as to what I eat, where it comes from, and the products I use because I do not want to support the industries that do these things to animals. I believe that everyone needs to be aware of happens when we’re not looking.
ReplyDeleteAshlee M.
That was very upsetting to watch, it is ashame what the animals have to go through just for someone to make a buck or two. I know people thing that animlas are closer to humans so that's why they want to experiment on them and see what happens at the end result. I know us humans have to eat, but after watching the film, I really think I'm going to be a vegetarian.
ReplyDeleteWe fight for equal rights for humans we need to start fighting for equal rights for animals also. This was their land before it became ours and they have the right to live free without the worry of becomming harmed or killed. Just simply heart wrenching
ReplyDeleteTaking the animals skins right off of them before they are even killed... there is no way that any normal human being can watch this and not be sick to their stomach. Lauren Cooney SCC
ReplyDeleteI refuse to watch any of these videos. The comments alone are disturbing. How can people call that sickness a job? They really believe they make an honest living doing things like that?
ReplyDeleteI already knew that I wouldn't be able to watch this movie given the description, but i would suggest that anyone who doesn't feel strongly about animal rights to watch it. From reading the comments above its safe to say that everyone generally feels the same way, so I'm hoping that everone uses their voices to help put an end to all of this madness.
ReplyDelete-AW
It is a shame when companies raise animals cruelly, but do your research. If you want to eat meat, but don't want to support those who do these hurtful things to animals buy from your local farmer that you know and know how they raise their animals. Not all who sell eggs or chicken raise chickens this way! Not all who take animals to market do these things to their animals.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lacy. It's important to know where your food in coming from and know how the animals were treated. I don't believe in animal cruelty, but I do believe in using animals as food (as long as it's done humanly and the animal is not wasted for sport).
ReplyDeleteJordanne Allen
A lot of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. When I was younger, I never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. Now, I am much more aware and understand that nothing is worth sacrificing the innocent animals to pain and suffering.
ReplyDeleteShayna H.
I don't know if it is my but I was in tears. We just adopted a dog from a shelter a 2 year old pit from an overcrowded shelter. She is simply amazing. I have 3 kids 10, 5 and 10 months and she's as gentile and protective as I could ever ask for. After seeing this and realizing what her life could have ended made me feel that much more happier to have her. And when we finish purchasing our new home I will be back to adopt another. Absolutely crazy
ReplyDeleteKristal J #2
Watching the documentary earthlings really touched me. It made me look at animals a different way than before. Humans like animals have so many similarities, for example we both stand on all fours. We have to start treating animals as if they were humans, just because they don't speak doesn't mean they don't have opinions!
ReplyDeleteThis is nothing but a horror movie. I have no desire to see it to the end. I guess after doing evil over and over, people tend to loose their conscience, or how else can you account for the behavior of those worker who do this day in and out.Those of use that still have some conscience can influence the society. Start with your neighborhood. Get the information out.
ReplyDeleteThis film looks so disturbing. I can not believe that people really have jobs to kill animals in such a cruel manner. I understand that we have to eat but is there a better way to collect meat? The clip when the man skinned the animal is very disturbing because the animal was still alive. I am very interested in watching this film.. And I will be watching it today. I might end up a vegetarian after this. Markeda C.
ReplyDeleteI am beyond shocked and extremely sad. It was very disturbing to watch, it literally brought tears to my eyes. The little I did see makes me want to change my lifestyle. NO one, animals included, should be treated that way. I definitely want to become a vegetarian now. Fatmata K.
ReplyDeleteThat film was very sad! The way that they did that was not right. To skin the animal while its still alive? People need to think of a better way to do that!
ReplyDeleteWatching this is so disturbing. I barely could keep my eyes on the video. My heart breaks for every single one of those animals. Seeing what they go through is so sickening to the stomach and very sad.
ReplyDeleteThat video was extremely disturbing. I never knew the extent to which that type of stuff happens. Organizations should be banned from performing these actions!

Although I didn't watch the full movie, I did take a look at the trailer. I'm not sure if I could get through some of the disturbing things it shows. However, I understand why people should watch it. There needs to be some sort of wake up call for people to start treating animals better.

ReplyDeleteThis was very disturbing to watch. Frankly there is quite a bit in this film that may be sensationalized. Having grown up on or around farms some of the practices shown here I have personally never seen. That’s not to say they don’t happen but it would be my hope that they are the exception rather than the norm. Doing some research I found that President Obama signed into law the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), “the most sweeping reform of our food safety laws in more than 70 years…”, on January 4, 2011. I would hope that the increased inspections set forth by this legislation would prevent the operations depicted in this film from existing.
While i did not watch the video, I read the comments and have seen some in the past. Skinning animals alive is HORRIBLE and pointless. There is a lot more room for things to go wrong than right when the animal is still alive..
ReplyDeleteI did not watch the video because i could barely watch the trailer. I just have seen some things i had NO idea happened in this world. What i can not wrap my mind around is how do people do this to innocent animals !
ReplyDeleteAlexus E
Obviously, skinning an animal alive is unacceptable. If you are going to harvest an animal for something then they should be put down as humanely as possible, not tortured. I would hope that it is only a select few that do these things and not the majority. Even still those groups should have legal action taken against them. I understand that some products that are produced require that life of that animal be taken, which is fine, but do it in a humane way and don't let the rest of that animal go to waste. Use every part of if for something. Corey M.

This is very sickening. I just watch the trailer,i could not watch the whole thing. I have never imagined or thought that is how most animals go through so as i can eat meat.

People in the world need to have moral than what the have ow .It id wrong that they treated the dog in the video like that and unacceptable. Animals have right and i think it wrong certian humans violated their rights.
ReplyDeleteHaving grown up on and around both farms and hunting, and being involved with livestock on many levels, I have never once witnessed any actions such as these. I feel though that much of this does not take place in the US, and that our anger stems from the treatment of other countries. Many countries do not have ethics or standards that remotely resemble those of many Americans. I believe that when raised and harvested by USDA standards livestock serves a purpose and aids people who eat meat, and supports the families who raise them.
ReplyDeleteI only watched the trailer, but may decide to watch the entire movie someday. Not today my stomach is not feeling too well. That 2.5 minutes brought me to tears. I have never given much thought about animal treatment or animal rights, but seeing how these animals were treated is one of the most horrific things I have ever seen. Not sure what the animal they skinned and then showed its face and eyelashes, but that was disgusting. To think that we are harming these beautiful animals to make humans "more beautiful", is something I will not support.
ReplyDeleteI have only viewed the preview of the movie, but i can not believe what i just watched. How do people live with themselves after doing these things, not only once but probably day after day. I am however glad they made a movie like this, maybe more people will view it and gain knowledge they did not know.
ReplyDeleteShelby A
I think this movie should be shown on TV and often. If the world knew exactly what was going on behind the scenes, they'd be more proactive about animal rights.
ReplyDeleteIt is just so hard watching this kind of video even for just few seconds of the trailer. People should be made aware on what's going on with these animals through documentary.
