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!

Remarkable. I enjoyed this very much. I will buy this DVD because I
believe it's message is important.

Thank you so much for making this available to watch! --Jason,

Hi everybody, after watching this nightmare movie (thousand thanks and
congratulations to the author and team...), i feel more convinced than
ever that the cruelty of men towards animals is the matter of sadism,
which is a kind of mental desease . And i can no longer support to be
horrified , alone in my place ! Because , to tell the truth, my
concern doesn' meet much echo in my circle (of friends/relatives) .
Alors, j'aimerais bien utiliser ce e-moyen pour rencontrer d'autres
révoltés défenseurs de la cause animale dans ma région ! j'habite en
France, environs de Saint Etienne ; merci de me contacter , j'ai
grande envie de passer à l'action ,verser une cotisation annuelle à
des associations ne me suffit plus ! Alors, à bientôt... et encore
bravo , ce doc est épatant ! terrible, horrible, et épatant ! Comment
convaincre tous et chacun de le voir, ne serait ce qu'en partie ? la
situation changerait immédiatement, certainement .

ciao, Patrick

[edit] Thanks for documentary
Thank you for this amazing/disturbing video that changed my life (
diet :) ).
I saw it about a year ago, and it made me re-think the way I look at
my diet.
I used to consider myself as a carnivore who cannot live without meat.
I am proud to find out the opposite.
I've been vegetarian for an year now, and have to thank the authors of
this documentary for that.

[edit] More Subtitles
I'm looking for subtitles in Polish. Anyone know where to get it from?

Nobody tried to create Polish subs, so you can get them nowhere ;)
[edit] Download subtitles in spanish
I downloaded this video for academical porpuses, but then I realized
that spanish subtitles are not available, can someone tell me if
there's a place where I can get them?

You can get them here - but they are for the extended edition and
don't match the version you downloaded.
[edit] Earthlings Part 2
Earthlings does an excellent job of planting a seed, but what I would
beg to see next is a sequel teaching the viewer about the
vegetarian/vegan lifestyle and really focus now on how to implement
change.

I tried to be a vegetarian in college motivated by the more healthful
aspects of a meat-free diet rather than the idea that animals could
suffer so greatly. I began eating meat again when I found myself
thinking perhaps I should be filling up on lean protein rather than
pastas, breads and other starchy carb-filled foods. Years later, while
reading about Joaquin Phoenix one afternoon, I learned about
Earthlings, and watched it in segments over the course of the week
that followed. Until this point, I never really thought I would be
able to make the connection between the lives/deaths of an animal and
what ends up on my plate. Thanks to the incredibly vivid and
disturbing imagery of Earthlings, I can't help but to make the
connection.

I have always felt that there IS a food chain and it IS natural for us
as predators to pray on animals. I can still relate to that way of
thinking. What Earthlings taught me, however, is that it isn't
necessarily about the fact that animals die for us, but HOW they die,
and more importantly, how they live. We are forcing animals to
sacrifice quality of life for our own convenience and efficiency and
it doesn't have to be that way. Consumption does not HAVE to equal
brutalization. But where DOES one draw the line?

I implore the makers of this film to come out with a second film. Give
us a sequel showing us the steps that follow rethinking our diets.
Show us reasonable, practical choices we can make in our daily lives.

Thank you for Earthlings and thank you in advance for Earthlings 2!

This documentary shows 'behind the scenes' of what goes on behind
closed walls, when it comes to our use of animals. Right from the
beginning, harsh realities are shown onto the screen. It is hard to
watch this movie, without feeling sympathy for the creatures that are
born to be exploited. The message in this movie is strong and
insightful. I highly recommend this for those who want to know the
truth of how animals are treated. Every aspect of the animals lives
are presented in this film. If it does not turn you into a vegetarian,
you might, at least, think about it. This documentary may as well be
up there as one of the best.

Please support the filmmakers and buy the original DVD. Thank you!
