that's not a valid argument :)
The comparison of Holocaust victims with animals killed at slaughterhouses is insulting. The film uses doubtful methods of reasoning with the main of them being shock, which is more of the characteristic of a propaganda movie than a documentary one. I haven't found any inner discussion in it as well as any more or less serious attempts to fathom animal psychology and perception of pain/suffering.
which is wrong as humans' perception of pain is strongly connected with our intellect and memory
Insulting how? because you think human suffering is somehow more important than animal suffering?...
exactly. the suffering of the creature that posseses a skill of self-conciousness is more important
On the subject of science, consciousness, and the comparative importance of animal and human suffering, see the following post on the scientific announcement that animals are as humans in the possession of self-reflective consciousness. There are no more excuses, M. Babkin. | http://www.kurzweilai.net/animals-are-conscious-and-should-be-treated-as-such
Okay but that doesn't make the film a valuable piece of documentary art which is what my actual post is about. Feeling mercy to animals? No way. The only reason I might stop eating meat is that it's really hard for me to cook it.
Uno de los documentales mas perturbadores que existen, impactante, basado en footage" nos lleva en un viaje del abuso de los humanos sobre las distintas especies animales para su uso en la ciencia, los cosmeticos, los alimentos como mascotas etc.
I wouldn't say I'm a fan of this documentary, but it's definitely potent and visually powerful. The images stayed with me for days, enough so to influence my lifestyle.
I agree with this comment - I clicked "become a fan" but not because it's not because I am proud to like a movie on this topic. It's because I am a fan of its importance and the impact it can have on those who watch it. I highly suggest viewing this film because the brutal truth displayed is necessary to improve our lives, and the lives of other beings and the planet.
Impressive, shocking, with a very powerful message. This documentary changed my life... Everyone should watch it. 5 stars.
