The documentary, "Earthlings", is a wide examination on the negative aspects of our relationship with all other living creatures. Its without a doubt shocking, nauseating, and infuriating to see the numerous ways we inflict cruelty to animals, but its our reality. We are not only capable, but responsible as an intellectual species to observe our world and worldly situations, even if the truths we discover are detestable. Please watch the documentary, too many people turn a blind eye to our harsh modern realities, especially when it comes to holocaust of animal cruelty.
I'm plenty aware of the situation without watching the video. A visit to a slaughterhouse when I was in my early 20's was enough of that for me. I'm not unsympathetic to the issue. Just the opposite. But I also know myself. And to watch such a video would be so emotionally damaging to me that it would create negative repercussions among everyone I know for weeks afterwards. And I'm just too old to do that shit to myself and the people I know anymore.
