what kind of animal protectionism

What strikes me the most is that the first part of the unequal and inharmonious relationship between all people and nature and animals is that there is no killing without buying and selling. Human nature is more terrifying than animal nature, because human nature is not afraid of nature but challenges nature. I just finished reading the Haval diet report and felt the difference that vegetarianism brings to people. Being a vegetarian can really make one's heart less lustful, that's how I am. But vegetarianism is not the solution to the plight of animals and equal rights for the citizens of the planet. Expansion of desire creates problems, and the solution is never to curb desire, but to unblock it. Now the animal protection stance, calling for vegetarianism are all feel-good virgins. I am a vegetarian, but not vegan. I don't think being a vegetarian really doesn't have that much material desire.

What this film exposes is how cruel we are when we bring animals to death.

Earthlings quotes

  • [first lines]

    title card: earth-ling n. - One who inhabits the earth.

    Narrator: Since we all inhabit the earth, we are all considered earthlings. There is no sexism, racism, or speciesism in the term 'earthling'. It encompasses each and every one of us: warm- or cold-blooded, mammal, vertebrate or invertebrate, bird, reptile, amphibian, fish and human alike.

  • Narrator: It is the human earthling who tends to dominate the earth, oftentimes treating other fellow earthlings and living beings as mere objects. This is what is meant by 'speciesism'. By analogy with racism and sexism, speciesism is a prejudice or attitude or bias in favor of the interests of the members of one's own species and against those of members of other species.
