Earthlings is painful to watch, but was able to watch 75% of the doc
You are braver than I am. I did stop eating anything with a face.! The longer I am awake the more aware I am becoming of the lack of respect and understanding for animals and life in general, that why I resteemed this. The world is waking up and EARTH IS FLAT!
That's absolutely a "hard watch", but indeed a "must watch" - Anyway, I think, the way we treat animals while abusing them has no value in this discussion. Even with the most "civilized" practices, an abuse would still be an abuse, a murder would still be a murder. We don't have the right to abuse and/or kill these living beings.
