Earthlings

[Miss Vicky]

This dvd arrived in the mail today. I bought it from the PETA website. Narrated by Joaquin Phoenix, this film documents the various ways in which animals are tortured and killed for food, research, fur, leather, "sport," and because they are simply unwanted.
I cried from start to finish. A lot of the footage that they used had been used in many other similar films and so I had seen them before, but some I hadn't. One image in particular is likely to give me nightmares for weeks. It was of a wolf or some sort of fox on a Chinese fur farm. They showed the animal after it had been skinned, fully conscious, eyes open, sitting upright. I nearly vomited.
