For the record I have nothing against eating meat - it's the way we produce the meat nowadays - factory farming in particular - that upset me.

Anyway when I heard about the movie being released I ordered DVD right away. It's nice to know it's on the net too (hopefully legally!) so that I can direct other people there.

BTW Handy, here's a video with info about Australian farms (if you think you're up for more of it, that is!?)
Thankyou Harry, I think

I have no inclination to watch Earthlings again, I doubt I can ever forget it!

I will look at the vid' that you have linked to, but not tonight I don't want to ruin this day...

Also, I can easily source healthy happy well cared for & humainly slaughtered meat, but I don't have to, I am fortunate to be able to access all of my nutritional requirements without having to eat meat. So my wife & I chose to just not eat it. As I've said before, we eat free range eggs & goats milk, supplied by friends.

[Edit:] I watched the video Harry. The Australian statistics were interesting, the rest of the content was basicaly covered in Earthlings, thankfully it wasn't too long. :-|
