It was recommended of me to watch Earthlings. I did that very day. I was not prepared for ANY of what it entailed, but it sure did open my eyes.
I thought it would have given me nightmares. No such thing has happened as of yet.
I was crying for a good 3/4 of the entire movie though. How anyone could do that as a job and ENJOY it is beyond me! A lot of the people seemed to be doing just that! It sickened me, and really made me realize how serious I am about being a fruitarian/Raw Vegan.
I can't eat a single piece of meat now without thinking of Earthlings.

this movie reveals practices that are beyond horrific.
very difficult movie to watch and very important.
I didn't cry, i feel bad for not crying but i was pissed off most of the documentary and i thought everything was pretty horrendous
When I saw earthlings I thought I would cry more, but instead I just felt this incredible rage within me.
And a breaking of my own self because I had realized that my own actions had contributed to the murder and slaughter of other animals in the past before I had turned vegan.
I actually wanted to run down the street screaming, first time in my life I actually felt like I might "flip out".
Then I calmed down...made a video...and then unposted the video, because it was so painful.
I decided never in my life will I consider being "not vegan" and that I would dedicate my life to fix the problem.
Then I joined a ton of vegan facebook groups and realized that they were all very very against a cohesive movement ...that they were more interested in fighting with eachother.
So everyday I try to help if I can. I try not to think about the anger as much. I just try to do what I can.
Same.
It was great wishy washy feeling! But again, not killing animals is million light years away but again, it's good awakening but not much change. ;)
it was sickening and disgusting. Whilst I've been a Vegetarian for many years and a 8:5:5/Rawtill4 for about 6 months I wasn't sure if I was on the Vegan bandwagon lifestyle, but after watching this documentary I'm done, done, done with animal products.
I stunned that there seems to be so many people that seem to be devoid of any empathy and think it's ok to torture, terrorise, humiliate, degrade, abuse, beat and tease animals. How anyone can possibly think it's ok to do the following to a live animal: skin, disembowel, slit throats, butcher, de-beak, de-claw, de-horn, de-tooth, stomp on (to kill), kick, hit, bludgeon.
And the production line of death for thrown out pets is just out outrageous. It's on an industrial scale.
What the Fuck is wrong with the human race. It seems that most people are cruising on that river in Egypt, DeNile.
I now need to take stock of my lifestyle, what I'm doing and who I'm supporting and make the appropriate changes. I just don't want to advertently or inadvertently cause any harm to my fellow earthlings.
I cried for the whole documentary and decided within minutes that I would become vegan/vegetarian. I've now been vegan for a few weeks and I honestly can't understand why I ate meat for so long in the first place
The movie confirmed all I suspected about such industries...
I didn't cry though, I was just disgusted and decided to stop eating meat and other animal secretions.
I cried so hard that I gave myself a headache! (Serious compassion fatigue for days after also)
I think though; every second I see those who suffer, they are the only inspiration which I need to succeed in this lifestyle.
It is important for all to see what truly happens, so that we can show empathy towards them.
