Earthlings (2005)
9/10
Thoroughbred eye opener
13 November 2012
First time I started the documentary was just before diner. Meat was on the menu and of course I stopped watching to spare my appetite. Sadly, this is what most cowards would do.

But I made a deal with myself, I promised myself that I would watch this gruesome collection of footage later. And I am glad I did. It truly opened my eyes and I was shocked about the way that our species (the beasts) treated our fellow earthlings (the animals). It shows a lot of concerning facts and I totally agree that we have to change the ways we treat animals.

However, I don't agree that we shouldn't eat meat at all. We are omnivores in the end. But I do think we should treat the animals better. Give them a life worth living, no more pain and a quick death. And the documentary does stimulate me to eat less meat and more meat substitutes. So I think that's a positive thing.

You should watch this documentary in my opinion. It opens your eyes and it contains footage that I had never seen before myself. Perhaps it will convince you to become a better person, that loves the earth and his inhabitants even more.
