(read more) a documentary that looks at the animal liberation movements, including PETA, ALF, and SHAC. Ya know, i never noticed how hypocritical PETA is until i watched this movie...and saw that they too are killing animals - and, then have the balls to say they're doing it "Humanely" what a bunch of bull. they also look at the stuff that went down after Katrina - and, how the small grassroots movements did more to help then the humane society. Very good film - but, some of the pictures and videos they show are more than graphic. And, if you're wondering where they got the name of this film from - it's actually from a PETA comic - they get more in depth with that too. They showed more view points from everyone - so, i'm not shocked it won an award for best documentary when it debuted. And...also, they went against PETA and all the big ones that are supposed to be for animals. That's a nice stand! After this film, i'll be shocked if you still support PETA.
Wow, this is very important, not just because of the brutal suffering innocent dogs and cats and other species are subjected to for questionable scientific research but because of how the Feds are trying this activists as terrorist using the Federal ...

Not just one sided, and presents the today's many animal rights groups. In addition it has some interesting facts.
Definitly worth a watch for those interested in the subject.
Messy, poorly conceived doc. While the footage and many messages can be at times compelling, the stumble bum direction, hop scotching of topics and failure to cultivate themes to fruition, left me apathetic and unimpressed.

While the footage and many messages can be at times compelling, the stumble bum direction, hop scotching of topics and failure to cultivate themes to fruition, left me apathetic and unimpressed. Additionally, any film that devotes more than a second's time to the musical stylings of MC Fashionista or punditry of the Barbi twins, should be ignored on principle. I apologize to myself retroactively and hope I can forgive me - I knew not what lay in store.
I wouldn't call it the most intelligent doc I've ever seen (and that final "hip hop" song/video is insanely annoying), but the subject matter (and the imagery) is so compelling that there's really no excuse for it not to be required viewing...

Focuses on companion animals, animal testing and the fur trade, looking at perceptions of animal welfarists and animal rights activists; even though it looks at the SHAC case in depth, there are a lot of interviews from all sides of the movements as well as outside. Really interesting stuff.

There are some very disturbing images that remind you of how inhumane some people really are. I thought it did a good job exposing PETA for what they really are and showed how the American government continues to suppress people's right to free speech and their attempts to discredit and punish any who interfere or oppose their agenda.

(read more) Very interesting doco that explores several different sides of how we as humans have chosen to treat and regard animals. Its very interesting to find out the hidden (or not so public) sides of some very big name animal rights organisations. A strong opening few minutes with a story from one of the Sea Shepard crew. A top watch.
