There is a full one on Google video as well, but the links I have posted split it into 3 parts.

I would like to think that people can watch this and allow themselves to think. It is about human relationships with animals and the planet (though mostly animals). About how they are used and the ways they are treated.

It covers a lot, I suspect few people will want to see it, but I think it is well done, and worth seeing.

I stopped considering death a terrible thing years ago now, it isn't the death of animals for us which bothers me, it's their life. The time leading upto their death is obviously a part of that life, but I think it is not so bad if lives are short, if they were good lives. I know most people will probably disagree with me on this, I understand that it is not a nomal point of view, never the less I believe it. Of course if someone dies young that is terribly sad, of course if a pet dies young it is sad too. But if they had a good life it is sadness at my own loss and not really sadness for them. If they suffered greatly in their life, then the sadness is for them.

I know it is hard to look at some things, but surely it is better to see and know than to choose ignorance? Again here I think I don't share this point of view with many.
