Earthlings..Do we care?


Last week, i have watched a documentary, Earthlings.. what i can say.. Its so frightening! so watch it. And you'll know what actually happened to your beef, chicken and etc. before they become your tantalizing meal! The behind scene...

Earthlings
is a documentary about human dependence on animals for pets, food, clothing, entertainment and experimentation. The film first explains the word Earthling.

earth-ling n. One who inhabits the earth.

This includes every living thing. The film then explains the word Speciesism. The term speciesism is a bias for ones own species over others. Although humans are different from other animals we are still earthlings. This means we still require the same basic needs. Examples were food, water, companionship, freedom of movement, and avoidance of pain. Sameness among all earthlings. With racism, sexism, and speciesism, one category of beings is suffering at the hands of another. The film reveals that owning pets is a more complicated thing than most owners realize. Pet stores acquire most of their dogs from cruel puppy mills even when they do not know it. Due to owners neglecting their pets by not spaying or neutering them there are astronomical amounts of homeless and disease ridden domesticated animals around the world. The film was unable to be entered into award ceremonies because all of the commercials supporting channels are non-vegan and campaigning against animal rights.


What can I conclude about this documentary is that, i'm not really agree what actually the message that the producer want to deliver to the audience. The message is that : STOP EATING MEATS, AND BE VEGEE. ( sorry to the vegees, i dont have any intention to condemn :) peace no war) Yes, you could encourage the people to avoid the meats, but do we solve the problems? We are actually running away from the problem.. What about the animals? Are they can still escape from the violency of the irresponsible actions of the human beings? So, think it, and make a wise judgement.
