I haven't watched a documentary in a long time. Not knowing what to sum up for a while. We always say that we are small, a speck of dust in the universe, but we are powerful enough to change the universe. Perhaps in the eyes of animals, we are 10,000 times, 100,000,000 times more terrifying than the monsters created in the movies. You may just not be able to see the real fear when they look at you.

I admire the director himself, he can make a desperate decision to do something to follow his heart. And my thoughts after watching the whole film are obviously pessimistic. I would decide to let things go, I feel that we, human beings, do not need to be left in this world to exist. So we don't hold on to the backbone, so we don't fight against the silence of the large number of people. Let us, or us after that, disappear before the last tear of remorse can be left, all right.

I didn't seem to catch my breath for a long time when the video of the elephants being massacred was released. When the duck was brought to the table I just covered my eyes with my hands and waited for a slap to my heart.

We can change the world.

We must change the world.

...

Then, just let us die.

Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret quotes

  • Kip Andersen: Two environmental specialists at the World Bank Group using the *global* standard for measuring greenhouse gases concluded that animal agriculture was responsible for 51% of human-caused climate change, when the loss of carbon sinks, respiration, and methane are properly accounted for, which the UN study failed to address.

  • Kip Andersen: Hydraulic fracturing for natural gas uses a staggering amount of water: 100 billion gallons every year in the U.S. But when I compared this with animal agriculture, raising livestock just in the U.S. consumes 34 trillion gallons of water! And, it turns out, the methane emission from both industries are nearly equal.
