 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." With an
in-depth study into pet stores, puppy mills and animals
shelters, as well as factory farms, the leather and fur trades,
sports and entertainment industries, and finally the medical and
scientific profession, EARTHLINGS uses hidden cameras and never
before seen footage to chronicle the day-to-day practices of
some of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely
entirely on animals for profit. Powerful, informative and
thought-provoking, EARTHLINGS is by far the most comprehensive
documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature,
animals, and human economic interests. There are many worthy
animal rights films available, but this one transcends the
setting. EARTHLINGS cries to be seen. Highly recommended! CLick here to see it free online or buy the DVD.
