If you are a current meat eater, use animal tested products, or wear leather or fur, this video will change the way you look at the world. It is a documentary looking at the harm humans bring to animals due to our complete dependence on them for food, clothing, pets, entertainment, and research. The horrifying images that are captured at animal shelters, pet stores, puppy mills, factory farms, slaughterhouses, the leather and fur trades, sporting events, circuses and research labs are things that everyone should see. Witnessing the atrocious acts that we inflict on animals allows us to make the connection between our food, clothes, pets, etc, and where they come from. Too many of us are ignorant to the fact that the plastic wrapped pork chops that we purchase in the grocery store are a part of an animal that was once living, breathing and felt pain.
After watching this movie I have been unable to get the images of the research centers out of my mind. As soon as I managed to finish the movie (which took three sittings, due to the fact that I was crying so hard) I checked all of my 'beauty' supplies and was ashamed when I realized that about 80% of my purchases were animal tested. I will never again be able to justify the purchase of a product knowing that it was tested on animals after seeing what these living creatures endure.

There is also lots of great information on how to help bring an end to animal cruelty as well as becoming a vegetarian/vegan on the PETA website.
