i asked because i think one of the things about this documentary is that it addresses pretty much all of the aspects of animal exploitation
and it doesn't start with the worst
"if abattoirs had see-through walls then surely everyone would be a vegetarian." - hakey phoneyx
rubbish
have you seen an abattoir?
if you have, i shut my mouth
if you haven't, you should before you can reject this affirmation
i'm not trying to convince anyone
although i didn't mention this documentary because it disturbed me but because i think it may disturb other viewers
i had been aware of most of what is shown for years so i can't say that i was disturbed, but i definitely had a lump in my throat
and many people were heavily crying in the room where it was projected
to keep living in this world, as a person sensible to sentient beings' suffering, you have to do the same thing as doctors or NGO workers do : create a bubble of desensitization
which i unconsciously did
if i had seen the same information all at once at the time animal exploitation started to hurt me, i may have not supported it and killed myself right away
not saying my view is 'right' and being insensitive is 'wrong'
your genome brings you empathy towards nikes, mine towards cockroaches
i understand if in your view, my preocupations are meaningless
one day i want to start a thread in T&A about how much it is possible to blame someone for characteristics or actions that are considered horrible by some others
but now i wouldn't have time to follow the thread
you can't blame someone for being born blind
you can't blame someone for being born ugly
so why should you blame someone for being born stupid?
why should you blame someone for being born selfish?
why should you blame someone for being born cruel?
why should you blame someone for being born a snoring nazi pedophile?
why should you blame someone for being not caring about nikes?
why should you blame someone for being not caring about pigs?
