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!

ok, granted, i haven't seen this film, but come on - our complete disrespect????

You mention pet stores, puppy mills, animal shelters, factory farms, leather/fur, medical scientific -- all industries that RELY on animals to even exist. Why would these industries be considered to disrespect the very hands (or hooves) that feed them??

Saw this video. Made me go vegetarian for a year. I should watch it again.

It is a very good video. Made me cry so much (but alas, I am an animal lover and watching ASPCA commercials make me tear up).
