Animal Aid today (8th November) has published a damning report on the
hidden motives that drive wildlife culls: convenience, financial
incentives and personal prejudices. Dishonourable mention is reserved
for the 'sport' shooting, sea fishing, angling, farming and pest
control industries.
With Extreme Prejudice: the culling of British wildlife examines the
motivations behind the killing of more than 20 different so-called
'alien', 'pest' and 'predatory' animals and birds. And it criticises
the intolerance of a society that considers animals so worthless,
their lives can be snuffed out if they are deemed to be noisy, messy,
or unsightly, or if their presence is simply unwanted.
The 62-page, fully-illustrated report calls for a shift in how society
thinks about wildlife and urges it learns tolerance for animals, whose
lives are already threatened by development, habitat loss,
industrialised farming, climate change and road traffic. The report
also examines the history of changing fashions in conservation and
denounces the personal prejudices of certain conservation groups that
order culls of one species because they wish to boost numbers of
another.
Says report author and Animal Aid Head of Campaigns, Kate
'Intolerance of wild species is now so great that mass killings are
rarely even commented on. Animals and birds are persecuted for daring
to feed themselves and rear offspring; or for being introduced to, or
abandoned in, an area where they naturally would not live. They are
shot, poisoned, trapped and snared for living in what is left of their
fast-dwindling habitat or for adapting to a landscape that - thanks to
human intervention - is changing rapidly. But most of all, they are
persecuted because they pose a financial threat to industries and
'sports', many of which have as their primary objective the killing of
other animals or birds.'

EARTHLINGS - The Best Documentary on Animal Rights
www.isawearthlings.com
E A R T H L I N G S - earth.ling (urth ling), n. 1. An inhabitant of earth.
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." (Read below for more informations about the movie).
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.

EARTHLINGS - ABOUT THE MOVIE
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."
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! The film
is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix (GLADIATOR)
and features music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby.
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.
