There is a documentary called Earthlings. Every single person should view this documentary and understand what happens to animals at the hands of humans. What humans do to animals on a daily basis in industry, for sport and entertainment, and in vivisection laboratories is abhorrent; it is barbaric and unnecessarily cruel.
If only people would take a little time out to consider the cruelty done in their name:
Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.
--Dr. Albert Schweitzer

Earthlings highlights, through multi-source video footage capturing real-life animal treatment, the usual way mankind behaves. This documentary shows the regular way man treats animals. The cases it highlights are, to the greater part, not isolated and not unusual. That is what makes the situation here on Earth all the more harrowing.
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated... I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man.
--Mahatma Gandhi
It is not my intention to start any heated debates here, merely to bring to your attention this documentary. There is plenty of information on the issues it illustrates available for those who are serious about learning of them.
I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men.
--Leonardo Da Vinci
I challenge you to make the connection.
The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them, that's the essence of inhumanity.
--George Bernard Shaw
