Whats earthlings you say? Well its a documentary about animal cruelty and how we as humans mistreat them. Narrated by jaquin phoenix and music by moby. I must warn you the videos are extremely graphic. Dogs getting skinned alive, pigs sluaghtered by having their brains bashed out, dogs thrown into trash compactors, dogs feed cyanide laced meat.
Part 1 EDIT: Its a bit slow to start so skip about 5 minuates if you want to get to the documentary proper. Rather then listen to some of the tedious parts.
part2
Part 3
Your thoughts on the video and the topic it portrays? I suppose i would like to say is no its not wrong to use animals for meat, clothing etc. But for some things like cruel sports and trival experiments its wrong. Its also wrong to kill animals inhumanely and should be done quickly with as little pain as possible.

What bothers me about this documentary is that its presented in a very bias way. The overall message seems more about shocking and blaming humans rather then tell us that we are also its solution. Additionally it seems to ignore the more humane nature of the topics illustrated or how people are already trying to help animals (having a go at zoos seems a little stupid).

It's a tough subject because it covers so many different areas. It's not just a black and white answer, either.
Is it right to use animals for testing drugs that would save millions of people? What about cosmetics? What about everything in between?
How should we allocate money to keep animals and people who are homeless? What is more important, a homeless person or an abused animal? (obviously, most people would say 'save both' if there was enough money and resources available)
You can take the view that we are the dominant species, apart from any animal, or that we ourselves are animals too.
What about blood sports? Fox Hunting and Bull Fighting? Fox hunting is still legal, just not with hounds, should it be banned altogether or re-instated?
This might be one for the ID forum!!

Joking....

Some animal testing is completely sick and irrelevant. For example, one test they do is experiment every type of makeup from every makeup compnay, they make rabbits eat as much makeup until they die, just to see how much it would take to kill a human. Shops like Boots and The Body Shop set a good example, as they refuse to sell anything animal tested, as it's not needed for perfumes and aftershaves.
This is probably the most depressing thing I've seen in a while.
