I've seen #EARTHLINGS

I've seen #EARTHLINGS

Please watch it. It's documentary film about the suffering of animals for food, fashion, pets, entertainment and medical research. Let me warn you that it is shocking, but this is what reality is like! It'll make you think, maybe reconsider your view on human relations with animals. Watch it if you think that it is our right to know the story behind the use of animals in our society. Write your comments!

  1. Quite impressive as a man can get to do.
    I think it is unfair that these poor defenseless creatures suffer that way.
    Like the narrator of the documentary says, despite the fact that we, human and animals, live in the same world, it's the human earthly that tend to dominate the earth. However, we don't have to forget that we all are earthlings.

  2. We humans are always complain about everything.. for every single trifle, while in reality we are the ones who crete our own problems: we destroy the environment, we kill who doesn't have any fault and we continue to claim a better world. Without doubt we lack consistency. When I saw "EARTHLINGS" I thought "we are the only being that have to be considered as beasts.". In fact, often we are sure to be unbeatable and we vent our anger and our weaknesses on the animals, the ones who have the same feelings and emoctions as we have, the ones who have the right to live and to be free...the ones from whom we depend to for companionship, food,cloathing, sport, entrateinment, scientific research and so on...they are earthlings like us, but we destroy them, completely indifferent to them. It's only our mentality that should be changed.

  3. "Earthlings" is a quite strong and shocking documentary film, but faithfully shows the reality of our world, and reminds us of how humans are the most brutal creatures on the Earth.
    I think that the problem is that humans think that they are superior, that they are more inteligent, and so they might have the right to dominate nature, and all the other earthlings.
    I claim that we don't have to forget that we are earthling as well and that we depend on nature and on animals as well. I think that there isn't a living being who's better than the others, nor this being shall be the human race. Humans only show how brutal they are: in fact we are destroying our world and mistreating animals and other earthlings.
    To conclude, we must never forget that we are earthlings as well, and that we all should respect not only each other, but nature and animals as well. No one shall dominate or mistreat one another. That's the only and most important law to follow.

  5. "Earthlings" is a strong and sad film,which make you think that maybe it would be better to switch off the computer to avoid to see this schoking images, but which also contains something that make you stay and watch:the truth.
    Only the images without any comment would upset the sentiments and the mentality of a person.
    The big tragedies of history are often remember only in the human sphere,but are we thinking about all the pain that animals had experienced and are experiencing?
    The human beings feel themselves humiliate if classified as "animal". Why? Because they are more clever than animals,they speak,they think...but all this abilities are really enough to make them superior? I believe not if it bring to destruction or sofference to innocents beings. It's true that also animals turn on or kill, but at least they do it in order to defend themselves or for instinct.
    To eat meat I think is in the human nature, to torture animals not; to wrap up is in the human nature, wrapping up using animals, when we have found other ways to do it,not.
    I already known some things about animals' misstreatment, but this documentary film make me discover other horribles activities, which make me sad and which fill me with indignation!

  6. Really shocking. Actually it was particularly difficult for me to watch this documenatary film. It made me think about what I do for animals. I've always eaten meat althgough I don't like it very much. After these terrible images I realize I should have been vegetarian. It's unthinkable that a human being has the courage to mistreat in that way other earthlings.
    I agree with the speaker when he said that animals are another nation. We are conviced we are superior and to kill an animal it's not such a terrible act. It's false. Animals are a part of the nature. They live, they run, they breath like us. Maybe they have feelings too. When I observe a dog moving its a tale I am convinced that he must have some feelings.
    We are afraid of the situation of the earth but actually we aren't able to solve the problems.
    I suppose that human beings in this world have lost a bit their sensivity. If they were sensitive, they would not make animals suffer with so cruel methods.
    It is so beatiful to watch a landscape full of animals. It is so exciting to see free animals in the nature. Why should we ruin all this??
    I think all the humans have to consider this particularly bad situation and do something concrete to change it.

  7. Just watching the trailer of this film I couldn't stop crying because I love animals. I understand that humans need to eat meat and we, like those animals, must kill other creatures to survive but nobody let us hurt them. Nobody let us mistreat them. If we can live, if we have the right to live, why they not ? why we must deprive them of that right ? I hate this injustice.

  8. This is a very strong and shocking documentary film about mistreatment of animals. Animals are living being who have the right to live on earth like us. They have feelings like us and I think that sometimes they are more faithful, loyal than human being. So I can’t accept that we kill these beautiful animals with terrible and violent methods just to eat them and to obtain furs from them. We have to be vegetarian and respect the animals. Indeed we can also live without eating meat. In thin way we also could reduce the climate changes too, because the livestock farming pollute the environment and with the amount of cereals that we need to feed animals, with could save many people who doesn’t even have enough for food in the world. Another aspect is that the meat is not good for our health and we could eat other food.
    So I have decided to become vegetarian, even if I hardly ever eat meat because my dad is already vegetarian for 18 years!!

  10. I've watched the "Earthlings" documentary only in the first part of it, because it was too schocking to me.
    However, I think that the animals have the right, as it is for the humans, to live and being respected.
    They have feelings like us and we're not allowed to resort to violence on them, they must be respected just because they are living creatures.
    And, for what regards the food and the various experiments on the animals, we should eat less meat or maybe be vegetarian; and we could pay more attention to what products we choose, and we should buy things that are no tested on animals.
    I can conclude saying that we must bring respect to all the animals, and we should adopt other measures to eat, to make experiments and so on.

  11. I've just finished watching the documentary film. It is really strong, but I'm glad that I saw it because since we aren't used to see what the reality about animals is, now I know a bit more and I can start making up my own mind.
    Watching it all until the end wasn't easy, in fact I skipped some parts, but I obviously got the message of the documentary. It's unbelievable how human beings can be cruel and merciless. We usually realize it only when something bad happens and who is involved is human being, in fact we don't call an "animal-murder" "homicide", so we underline the fact that killing a man and killing an animal are two different things even if both are earthlings, as the documentary movie says.
    Everybody should know about these facts, about how people all around the globe treat animals and how these deserve the same respect of human beings. In this way life on Earth would be, maybe, a bit different, better for us and for all the animals who share the planet with us. We should pay attention on what we buy, clothes, food and chemical products. I think that the fact that some kind of animals are used for medical experiments isn't 100% wrong because with those experiments many human lives can be and have been saved. In this way though, there is always a feeling of superiority: human beings feel owners of lives that aren't actually theirs. So we all should be aware of what is happening and try to find some solutions, to be respectful of what nature gives and understand that we aren't better than other earthlings.

  12. Actually, I haven’t been able to watch the whole documentary because it was too strong; in fact, I didn’t think that so much cruelty against animals could be possible. First of all, I think that animals have emotions like humans do, they are not so different from us; I understand that they can’t speak or express their mind, but this doesn’t give us the right to treat them like that. I love animals, I think they have rights which we should respect. I ask myself how can some people treat them like that, without any respect, how can they ear their howls of pain...and just go on with their work? Don’t they have any mercy at all? I really can’t understand that...because when I see an animal suffering I just have to help it, or at least try to help it!
    Life of animals has value, just like our does and we should respect them because if we don’t, we aren’t humans any more...but monsters. "Animals deserve better", like the speaker says!

  13. I haven't been strong enough to watch it till the end. I stopped right after the first part, the one about food. I couldn’t stand it any longer. I got so angry and I was about to cry. It's unbelievable how cruel can human beings be. Obviously we can't say that animals and people are totally the same, but it doesn't allow us to treat them so badly. I've always had dogs, I love them brothers. As my classmates have already said, animals have feelings. They can love, get angry and have fun. Why do they have to suffer like that and die for no reasons? I don't say we don't have to kill them at all. I mean, not all the people on earth are vegetarian. It's the food chain. Which means I agree if you kill them to eat but without a painful death. No one deserve a life as all those earthlings seem to do. About cosmetics. Animals have to loose their lives because humans prefer to waste them rather than paying more looking for alternatives. Spend more to save lives isn’t a waste.

    This documentary film shows clearly what there’s behind our routine.

  14. So, I haven't been able to watch it at all. I stopped it when a poor dog was killed alive for no reason. I don't believe that people could be so cruel with animals, actually for no reasons.
    I love animals and I have always had one at home (dogs, cats, rabbits..) and for me they were like a membre of the family. My animals were all emotional and sensitive and I think that all animals are.
    I'm not vegetarian and I don't think that kill animals is totally wrong, because humans have killed animals to live since millions of centuries but not in a so cruently way. Everything in this video is unacceptable!!!

  15. Just so the trailer and I couldn't go on. It's impossible for me think of a men who press his feet on the head of a poor wolf to kill him. It's horrible and the sadest thing is that most of animals are killed for fashion porpouses. Companies which use animals keep them in small and dirty place, so animals get ill and suffer in a tremendous way. The video is so impressing because is real and companies won't stop tasting their products on animals. I'm sad about this problem, because in many case we haven't choise and I'm disgusted. We should limited killing animals and making it just in extreme and super useful case, like research on deseases...

  16. I was aware that this kind of things does exist in the world actually I find it difficult to describe the feeling watching this documentary,I don't understand how could someone do something like that I think that often animals are better than humans because they make you happy just staying with you or doing natural things,I m really sad of this situation.It makes also me think that I contribute buying products made mistreating animals is difficult not to buy them because they are a lot and in different categories.I feel guilty

  17. Watching this video i was thinking about just one little tiny thing: We are the beasts that DESERVE to die.
    "I've seen #EARTHLINGS" is not schocking because it shows the truth, and the truth.....just sucks.
    I will continue hate fur and other stuff like that,every single time you wear Fur, you wear a dead animal.
    Will be Fur so fancy if instead of animals we will use human skin?
