Animal liberation as environmental action.

Probably one of the most interesting documentary on the subject of environmental protection I've gotten to watch in years. the documentary is about the taboo of animal husbandry's impact on climate change through the three-fold of gas-emitions, deforestation and water polution. the film-makers cover the subject, the impossibility of any type of animal husbandry to become sustainable, as well as the unwillingless of NGO's to mention the subject in their campaigns. It then goes on with possible answers to the question of self-censorship, mostly through the legal crackdown on any opposition to the meat & dairy industry through the animal enterprise terrorism act. The soundtrack is by Keegan Kuhn a.k.a xTrue Naturex. In a sense, I also enjoyed the movie for bringing up environmental reasons to be vegan, which could help making sense to a lot of people for whom the ethical reason of not considering any being as properties, and bridge lifestyle change with social change again.

You should see this, no matter what.

I knew a lot of the facts before I saw this, and I wondered (and still do) why no one talks about this.. Why!? Well, we know why, but in a modern society it's insane that this is not front page news every day. Meat and dairy-production is destroying our planet, pretty much more than anything else.. Come on people! Wake up!I was so happy when I found out about this movie. Finally someone is talking about this.OK. The movie is good. It's informative more than preaching. Which is necessary for this kind of movie to be seen by anyone at all. (who is not already vegan or vegetarian, that is)I think Kip and Keegan are doing a great job here. It's personal, sometimes funny, very interesting, and oh so frustrating. Some of the people interviewed are really likable and awesome, and some not so much. Yes, I'm looking at you fat, dumb woman in the agribusiness, what's her face.Cowspiracy is a movie every single human being should see. How's that for conclusion?
