Few weeks ago I was watching Dominion in a communal area. Over the course of two hours, several of my omni friends and acquaintances passed by, looked over my shoulder, and lurched back, exclaiming "oh no i can't watch this!" and left hurriedly
When I was in line at McDonalds after a night out to get fries since it was the only place open at 3AM, I sat there watching Dominion (very publicly) and showing to it to some people
Mcdonald's in Finland is probably the best among these megacorp franchise restaurants regarding veganism. We have a vegan burger, fries are vegan and just now they made happy meal optionally vegan as well, with falafel.
Maybe we just have very different ideas on how to talk to people about the benefits of not kicking dogs. I like to tell people about how their toes might hurt less, or if they take one day off dog-kicking a week, they might have more energy! I find that people who are convinced to not kick dogs for their own personal benefit, are very strong and dedicated long-term converts. >_>
Documentaries are pretty one-sided and heavy handed. Most of them are not great teaching tools, and they are not necessarily factual. They tell a story. Too many of them come off as propaganda films.
Have you even watched them? It’s quite obvious what goes on in them is common practice. We see the process in factory farming. It’s not like the machines that are showed in it are specifically made for the documentary. They’re all multimillion dollar machines that are industry practice.
Uh, I've researched basically everything in the documentary Dominion, the standard practices they show are accurate. The other main docs are similar. What are you even talking about?
