I have just watched this excellent documentary titled Earthlings. The name of the documentary may not suggest it at first, but it does make a lot of sense once you start watching it. It’s a video about animal abuse. Perhaps one of the harshest and most comprehensive video documentaries on animal abuse produced to date. It’s not easy to watch at all, especially if you’re an animal lover and human hater like me. Earthlings basically dips into every situation known to men involving animals and how we as fellow Earthlings have come to exploit animals, abuse them and brought many on the brink of destruction. Earthlings documentary is narrated by Joaquin Phoenix – great guy, great actor, animal rights activist and an overall great person with fantastic voice. Director and producer of Earthlings – Shaun Monson could not have picked a better person to narrate this documentary. It also comes as no surprise that Earthlings documentary is fully supported by Woody Harrelson – an activist for sustainable life choices. Musical score for Earthlings has been provided by another activist and an excellent musician – Moby.
Earthlings documentary is divided into five main section: Pets, Food, Clothes, Entertainment, Research. Each of these “industries” if you will involve animal abuse and exploitations, oftentimes done behind closed doors so average folk doesn’t know the real deal. The documentary reveals all the colorful details of mistreatment of animals with recordings of actual events that will make your non existent heard bleed tears. It’s saddening how far we as humans have fallen. The documentary also dubs into seal hunting in my home country of Canada. It also talk about (to me the most shocking) dolphin mass slaughter in one of my favorite countries – Japan and also talks about whaling which is done in great deal in another of my favorite countries – Iceland. So unfortunate so many great countries disregard the fact that animals have feelings. Animals experience fear and pain, more so than humans as many of their senses are developed better than same sense in humans, hence the experience of pain through these fine nerves is more intense.
Earthlings is definitely a great documentary that everyone should see. Prepare for a rollercoaster of images that will make you extremely sad and upset. It doesn’t help one bit that I have just seen another gut wrenching animal abuse video – Kenny Glenn beating and abusing cat Dusty. Not to mention that fail of humanity with chimpanzee in Connecticut I mention in my previous post that deals with the cartoon by Sean Delonas.
I truly feel like animals should really just gang up on us disgusting humans and exterminate us once and for all. We’re the scum of this Earth. We are the one destroying it and we’re also destroying these precious animal. Shame on us. We deserve the worst of punishments. Everybody, please watch Earthlings and reconsider what you eat, what you wear, what you use and what you watch for entertainment. Make adequate lifestyle changes for the better. These defenseless animals need it. If you don’t do it, then who will? Please

Must watch documentary “Earthlings” by shaun Monson. I am not vegetarian and campaigning to get broadcastors to show it on their TV Broadcasts.
It has made me more aware of what’s going on, it has had a dramatic effect on my life and lifestyle. I am now vegetarian, to be vegan in the near future. Kind regards, angel
Sorry I wasn’t vegetarian before but I am now. angel
Oh, God, I just barely made it through Pets and I can’t go further. Can barely see through tears and my heart’s beating so fast I honestly wonder if I could take much more.
I am vegetarian on the way to being vegan. After seeing this I feel like humanity is by far the most destructive and brutal force on this planet.shocking and heartbreaking brutality and cruelty, its truly opened my eyes.
Cant even whatch this!! its absolutly shocking and diturbing.
Its not right!
I watched this a while back and was so upset with it, I had to turn it off. To this very day it burns in my memory. We, humans, are the worst creature to inhabit this world.
We breed, and breed and breed, never thinking about the consequences and impact on the planet. My wife and I made a decision long ago to NOT have children….to not create more mouths to feed. We have lived our conviction and only wish more will adopt the greatest gift you can give this planet…DONT REPRODUCE. That act creates more mouths to feed which = more animals have to die, not to mention more pollution. So when we condone this types of films, we have to accept some degree of responsibility for this cruelty. So people please do something, change your habits, thoughts and ideas. Think every day of how you can help this planet. Its needs our help, and those other creatures that share this planet with us. If we dont, well the future is obvious. More animals will die, and we will do far greater damage to the planet. How can anyone right minded person disagree with this concept.
this is sickest thing i have ever seen. i was not a vegetarian but after seeing the scum of the earth the humans on this film i have a lot of hate.
