EARTHLINGS is a feature length documentary about humanity's absolute dependence on animals (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and scientific research) but also illustrates our complete disrespect for these so-called "non-human providers." The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix (GLADIATOR) and features music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby .   IP: Logged |

Ok, this video was really disturbing to say the least, but worth watching if you are not aware of what goes on.I'm thinking though....sorting out the problem of the way humans treat animals might be more complex than simply bringing awareness to these things. I think the other task is learning to love and understand animals. Without enough empathy toward animals, bringing awareness to these things might not make enough difference? Any thoughts?
