Earthlings was produced by a group of ethical vegans.  The film examines five forms of human exploitation of animals: pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and vivisection.  It is a full length documentary, and it bears witness to the suffering of our fellow animals.

I’ve heard from some vegans, that vegans do not need to watch this film, since we are already aware of the suffering therein.  Though I encourage all vegans to watch it and bear witness to why we do the things we do, and know the the best extent that we can what is happening to animals.

After watching Earthlings in it’s entirety, I don’t know if I would show it to just anyone, and certainly without preparation for what they are going to witness.  I believe in showing an equal level of compassion to all sentient beings. However, I do see the film as an important tool that can illustrate this suffering to those who have never been able to understand it before.
