"Earthlings"

Distracted by the media and the everyday concerns we often forget the basic things in our lives. Our planet, but also the other living on it, although we are all "Earthlings", who inhabit the earth. And yet the man tends to be because of his intelligence as important to assess. It felt the same feelings and animals have other strengths, such as stricter sense. The arrogance towards our roommates leads to their exploitation and oppression, with specific species such as dogs, cats or dolphins are preferred. This is called Phenomän Speziezismus like fascism and based on the meaningless distinction between equals.
The impressive and extremely distressing Dukomentation "Earthlings" deals with the various forms of subjugation and exploitation of different species from all over the world. The slightly more than 90 minutes, split up into 5 chapters:
pets, food, clothing, entertainment and research. All over the image is repeated as the man on the suffering of animals is dependent. Very interesting here is the comparison with the Holocaust. Although you have to constantly monitor the subtitles, but sometimes the pictures say more anyway. They doing really hurt and destroy the image, which is always portrayed by the media in our heads. It is strongly encouraged to consider are the consumer or the attitude towards animals. An absolute must - absolutely independent of what we currently think about it. For no one scheibt front of you, what you have to think. Nevertheless, it is imemr inspririerend the other side of the coin of Zivilastion, luxury and consumer to consider.
