It is with sadness that I write this blog entry. I just finished watching a documentary called Earthlings that contains the most abominable acts of cruelty towards animals that I have ever seen.

It's hard to believe that this important documentary has been available for more than a year on DVD. I am so thankful to have come across it, and I hope that all of our readers take time to view it.

To view the entire feature length documentary, narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix, scroll down and click the play button on the video screen that follows. Be warned, though, that this documentary contains gruesome footage that was captured by hidden cameras. It's been about an hour since I finished viewing it and I still feel somewhat physically ill.

I hope that this documentary can persuade the masses to be mindful of the ways in which their everyday dietary and lifestyle choices affect the lives of other living creatures.

Please share this documentary with family members and friends who may be interested. Thank you.
