“Make the connection” … Sound familiar? It’s been our theme throughout the semester. Watching this video made me cry and feel sick. Honestly, I don’t want to talk about it. I’ll just briefly go over some of the main parts of the film and hopefully get through it without feeling sick.

Pets: breeding, pet stores, puppy mills, animal shelters.
Food: factory farms, milking, beaking, dehorning, hormones, over feeding.
Clothes: furs, leather, transportation.
Entertainment: rodeos, circuses, zoos.
Science: medical and psychological abuse.

The main point of the movie was animal rights. Animals have a nervous system, therefore, they can think and feel. Abuse, cruelty, pollution, and ignorance were all addressed in the film. I’ve found the film online and posted it below.
