A Reality Check
Stunning reports, animated films, conferences, and personal messages from men and women working in the field of animal protection. Here are the videos we have chosen to share with you.
We do not believe that ignorance is bliss. The cruelty that we allow to be inflicted upon animals is a disgrace to us all by our complicit indifference. It is possible to influence these barbaric acts through what we choose to consume. These acts of cruelty are almost always committed away from watchful eyes and the law allows them to go on. Help the people and organizations working to make a change. Every person counts.
The Meatrix
In an entertaining, educational way Leo guides you through the twists, turns and intrigue of industrial meat production. You must forget the myth of a family farm where sheep, pigs, ducks, and cows live out free, happy lives cared for by a farmer who loves his animals. |
The meatrix II
The further adventures of Leo! |
A Cruel Trade
Learn why Australia imposed a moratorium on cattle exports to Egypt. It takes a lot to make a country change when there are financial issues to consider. An inconceivable and unleashed cruelty, unacceptable for anyone who calls themselves human. (There is approximately one minute of advertisement before the broadcast. Be patient!) |
Fur
Before purchasing garments decorated with inexpensive fur take a look at the methods of gathering this material. How could a person sink to the level of inflicting such suffering on a living being with such indifference? These acts are completely unjustifiable and inexcusable. These are the real fashion victims. Today, there are a number of attractive replacements, more comfortable and cruelty free, which make the “harvest” of fur unnecessary. Even the smallest fur leads to the death of an animal, sometimes under hellish conditions. Fur is not cool! Bravo to those who choose not to wear it! |
Animal Testing
Cruel testing on animals is not yet a thing of the past for certain companies and universities. Even though modern and effective alternatives exist and are in use, certain hardheaded individuals insist on continuing to torture animals well hidden from the public eye. Once again, with our consumption choices and refusal to support these backward organizations through donations, we send them a clear signal that we find their barbaric practices unacceptable. |
Meet Your Meat
In a moving narration, actor and activist Alec Baldwin exposes the truth behind humanity's cruelest invention –the factory farm. |
Earthlings
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. 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! EARTHLINGS has taken five years to produce. What began as a series of Public Service Announcements on spaying and neutering pets, evolved into a feature-length film on every major animal-related issue. Writer/Director Shaun Monson began the process by shooting footage at animal shelters in South Central L.A., Long Beach and North Hollywood. The PSAs were soon completed as his interest moved to other problem areas, like food and scientific research. In time, he accumulated a small library of material from several animal welfare organizations, and started editing. The process was a slow one. As footage gradually came in, Joaquin's narration was recorded (in stages), and a soundtrack was added. Along with all of Moby's music, some original pieces were also written for the film. In 2005, EARTHLINGS premiered at the Artivist Film Festival, (where it won Best Documentary Feature), followed by the Boston International Film Festival, (where it won the Best Content Award), and most recently at the San Diego Film Festival, (where it won Best Documentary Film, as well as the Humanitarian Award to Joaquin Phoenix for his work on the film). EARTHLINGS will be available on DVD on November 4, 2005. |
Slaughter of dolphins in Japan
Protests broke out around the world when these images were filmed by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society in 2003. We took the time to check whether these barbaric practices are still occurring today in 2007. Unfortunately, they are. A petition to the Japanese government is currently being circulated at the following address: http://www.petitiononline.com/golfinho/petition.html |
