Earthlings

We are all earthlings.

"But for the sake of some little mouthful of flesh, we deprive a soul of the sun and light and of that proportion of life and time it had been born into the world to enjoy."

Earthlings is an award winning Documentary about the horrific treatment of animals in the food industry, puppy mills, etc...

It is available for free at the filmmakers website.

Not to be confused with Puny Earthlings.


Tropes used in Earthlings include:
  • Cannibal: It shows a few chickens eating a dead one. Also pigs get their tails cut off so other pigs will not bite them off.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death
  • Gorn: It is a extremely brutal and graphic film. The faint of heart might want to listen to it instead, if you can handle the sound of pigs screaming...
  • Groin Attack:
    • Without any sort of pain relievers or anesthesia, either.
    • Anal-electrocution is used to kill a fox.
  • Hypocrite: They show a "kosher" farm that is anything but.
  • Mercy Kill: Subverted: Captive bolts were designed to kill an animal with as little suffering as possible, but as the documentary shows, it does not always work as intended.
  • Mother F-Bomb: One man says this to a pig.
  • What Measure Is a Non-Cute?
  • What Measure Is a Non-Human?
