"EARTHLINGS" is a very good work, and maybe not many people have seen it, but everyone who has seen it has praised it. Everyone says that if a person can only watch one movie in his life, he hopes to watch "EARTHLINGS"! Earthling means that all citizens on the earth, including not only us human beings, but also thousands of non-me races, but also not affiliated to us, experience the glory and suffering of the earth together with human beings. The so-called animal welfare is to allow animals to live in a state of well-being, and its standards include no disease, no abnormal behavior, no psychological stress, depression and pain. The basic principles include: freedom from hunger, freedom to live comfortably, freedom from pain, freedom to live without fear and sorrow, and freedom to express nature. The British "Livestock and Poultry Welfare Association" proposed that livestock and poultry should enjoy five rights: not to suffer from hunger and thirst; not to live in an uncomfortable environment; not to suffer pain, injury and disease; not to be frightened and mentally attacked; not to be deprived natural living habits. But through EARTHLINGS (Earth Citizens), we may have been living in self-impression when it comes to animal welfare. The first point is pets! Humans and animals should coexist equally and harmoniously, but those creatures that are not of our race and belong to another kingdom have been domesticated by us and become our subordinates. If they can live in harmony, it is not impossible. But every year, a large number of pets are abandoned by their owners and wandering on the streets. Most of them end up tragically, or die of illness, or are killed by a car, or they are poisoned to death because there is not enough space in the animal shelter! Human beings' preferences change the life of another life! The second point is the food! In particular, hunting and slaughtering is what touches me the most. Humans have enormous power to decide when, where and how these animals die. Even the instinctive struggle of animals before unnatural death has aroused deeper anger in human beings and received more inhumane slaughter. Many pigs, cows, and chickens are raised in crowded environments, so that their natural ability to move their muscles and bones cannot be guaranteed. Emerson said, "There's a tacit understanding between us enjoying our dinners gracefully, and the bloody slaughterhouse being carefully hidden and cleverly situated miles away." People either couldn't know, they didn't want to know. I thought that if I didn't see the blood, it wouldn't exist, which is a deeper reflection that even if I saw it, it might not change. Just like my classmates, I couldn't help crying while watching this film, and I still ate meat indifferently the next day! She is by no means the only one! The most unimaginable thing for me is that those cruel industrial processes cannot wait until a life has passed before starting. For their own convenience, people can't wait to put all kinds of procedures on the agenda, so that those beings feel that death is not the most painful, the pain is that those who are on the verge of death have to bear the pain of dying long ago! The third point is clothing! Nowadays, more and more people who pursue fashion like to use leather, and more brands also make leather to the extreme. Behind this is the tragic situation of tens of thousands of animals but no one cares, and people's minds are on the delicate and beautiful leather. The fourth point is entertainment! Mark Twain said, "Of all the beings created by God, human beings are the most abhorrent. Humans know that all living beings suffer, but they entertain the suffering of other lives." The main management of the circus is punishment. Punishment scares animals and motivates them to perform unnatural, even dangerous, activities. The trainers also often boasted that they had never beaten these animals and only needed a baton and a food reward. In fact, it is the baton that makes animals obedient in fear of punishment! Animals all have a sensory system, and it doesn't feel pain because of low intelligence. We are all citizens of Earth, probably not of the same race, but by no means of affiliation. Animals, as living beings, should enjoy the protection of animal welfare, which is what people who are in awe of life should do. The third point is clothing!

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.
