I want to compliment you on a phenomenal documentary. It is extremely
powerful and I was so thrilled to see you covered everything that Al Gore did
not. It flows so well from the global warming problem to livestock to the
health aspects and finishing up with the brutal and horrific treatment of the
animals for what ... a meal? I am so sensitive to the feelings of animals
that I shook uncontrollably for about a half an hour after I had managed to
stop crying - it is quite unbelievable to me that anyone can treat anything in
such a manner - the cow's tears will never leave me - as all the shocking
atrocities committed against all these sentient beings. How can we possibly
call our society civilized? I keep copies of many of the documentaries made
about animal suffering such as Earthlings, Meet your Meat, If this is Kosher,
Delicacy of Despair and others, which I either give to people or loan out but
to be honest with you I cannot watch as I become
immobilized - I did watch yours and it is inconceivable what is done to these
innocent beings. Anyone with an ounce of morality will change their life
after watching your documentary for the sake of the animals, the earth and
their health.
I plan to ask some people I know who belong to synagogues here to set up
appointments with several rabbis and give them a copy of the documentary and
ask whether they would share this with their congregation - actually the way
I feel right now I just want to put up huge screens everywhere and make sure
the public see the indescribable suffering these animals endure and the
treatment of them for nothing more than an unhealthy meal. I have found that
a powerful tool I use for those people insensitive to animal suffering is
giving them a copy of The China Study to read, and everyone I have given the
book to (my daughter finds that her friends have become vegan after she has
given them Skinny Bitch) has gone vegan (one gentleman in South Africa aged 88
and one in Florida aged 83) and from there have begun to explore the books
available on food and animals such as your book Richard and John Robbins and
Howard Lyman's books - many have written to me and said
that they cannot believe they once ate animals after reading about the
treatment of the animals and the illness that can be avoided by going vegan.
Thank you for making such a powerful, powerful and truthful documentary that
I believe will educate the public about the urgency of changing our habits if
they are wise enough to do so, and will help the precious animals and our
planet.
Thank you so much!!!
