If you have ever loved an animal...

If you are someone who has happened upon this blog, and you are not yet convinced that veganism is the only way to live a worthwhile life on planet Earth, please set aside a small portion of your day to watch this video (preferably not right before dinner). http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1282796533661048967

The choice is yours, of course, but the choices we all make each and every day should be informed choices.

Here is a description of the video--Earthlings--pulled from the same page:

EARTHLINGS is a feature length documentary about humanity's absolute dependence on animals (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and ... all » scientific research) but also illustrates our complete disrespect for these so-called "non-human providers." The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix (GLADIATOR) and features music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby. With an in-depth study into pet stores, puppy mills and animals shelters, as well as factory farms, the leather and fur trades, sports and entertainment industries, and finally the medical and scientific profession, EARTHLINGS uses hidden cameras and never before seen footage to chronicle the day-to-day practices of some of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. Powerful, informative and thought-provoking, EARTHLINGS is by far the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature, animals, and human economic interests. There are many worthy animal rights films available, but this one transcends the setting. EARTHLINGS cries to be seen. Highly recommended!
