SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

christianbourneproductions 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.

alicead-167-859380 Basically this movie turned me into a vegan overnight. I could never bare to finance others into the level of cruelty inflicted to innocent beings for the sole reason of tasty food (which is not tasty to me anymore after eating vegan for 4 years). This movie is a real life horror story. The worst I've seen but also the best, because ignorance hurts, it hurts a lot and it feels great to redeem ourselves. Ignorance causes pain and cruelty in our planet and it's time for us to realize it, to educate ourselves and choose. We place our vote into the world with every coin we spend. This movie is truly hard to watch, you'll cry a lot if you happen to be sensitive or not at all. It's eye opening not only as a human person but as an Earthling.Interestingly it doesn't leave you with a bad taste of mouth but on the contrary, full of hope and action. This movie calls for action.I thank the brave cameramen and camerawomen who shot this documentary, as well as everyone involved in its making.A must watch.

jamiesteelman1 Considering the popularity of humane animal farming. And the fact that it looks like he chose the worst of the bad venues. This film doesn't seem that relevant any longer. And there isn't much the USA can do about countries that don't follow the same laws as we do. I just can't see how people handle things in 3rd world countries is our fault. It is a given that anyone that owns animals should treat them humanely. I grew up going to my Grandparents farm in California and they always treated their animals fairly. Even when it cam to slaughtering them. So in my opinion this is just a shock film that doesn't really pertain to anyone but poverty stricken countries for the most part or bad slaughter houses that should be controlled by the FDA. They should never have been allowed to develop that way. Albeit that there were some pertinent moments about circus animals, but I don't go to circuses or zoos for that matter. And I have always thought Bull fighting was barbaric. Attention would be better focused on the people of these countries. some of them were in worse situations than the animals.

Free Lee I used to eat meat. I still do, but I used to too.Okay, I can sum up this film up as such: shocking vegan propaganda.Yeah, it shows a lot of awful true events that happen to animals in this world. Unfortunately when talking about this it withholds all logic and reason, instead relying on pure emotion.It makes it seem like the only way to help the animals is to go vegan. Unfortunately, we have evolved in such a way that our diet really does require meat. There are other issues with global veganism as well, but let's stick with that one. We need meat. We won't stop eating meat. Do we have any other solutions? According to the video, no.According to facts, yes! Many people would rather know where their meat comes from. For example, I buy my meat from a few local farms where one can plainly see how humanely the animals are treated. Why not support places like that? Because it won't shock. We'd rather show you these horrors that happen in Turkey. Great.Oh, and we get no benefit from animal research? Yeah, scientists are surely just a bunch of sadists. I do agree though that we would learn more about a substance's effects on humans if it were tested on humans, so! Here's the sign-up list, which chemical would you like to test, sir?Animal testing is necessary, but it CAN be done humanely. We have people come into the lab on occasion to make sure the mice are in the proper cages with proper comfort and everything. But that won't shock either.As the top species, humans require far more resources, and we should be allowed to sacrifice other creatures for the sake of our advancement. However, as the top species, I think we also have a moral duty to make those animals' stay on this planet as pleasant as possible. But that might be too logical for some people.If you're an emotional thinker and want to be shocked and disturbed, watch this. If you'd like to see sound arguments and logical solutions, don't bother.
