DVD Reviews of I Am an Animal: The Story of Ingrid Newkirk and PETA
DVD Review: Changed my preception of Peta
Summary: 5 Stars
I really knew nothing about Peta when I watched this, all I knew going in was that they did annoying protests and thought they were a bit ridiculous. I caught this movie on HBO and thought it would be a laugh, poking fun at how crazy Peta was. But I was quite shocked when about 20 minutes in to it my perception about Peta and Ingrid changed. Its easy to see the PR stunts and think Peta was crazy, but I must say having seen where they are coming from, I cannot agree more with them. I greatly admire Ingrid for turning her love and passion for animal rights into a life's work that is positive. I also think she is quite right that doing the over the top protests are truely the only way to get peoples attention in this day and age of the sound bite....honestly, when I think of animal rights I think of Peta, I can only name one or two other organizations, so clearly there tactics are working.
I gave up fast food, red meat, and pork after reading Fast Food Nation. I hadn't been able to give up poultry or sea food...but I get nauseous at the thought of eating any kind of animal flesh after seeing this, and I'm very thankful for it. My heart breaks when I think of that poor doggy they resuced and had to put to sleep, and my heart breaks just thinking about the slaughter house scenes. Seeing the treatment of the turkeys made me think that all the fear and sorrow the animals must feel is in the meat, and that is what people are taking in when they eat meat.
Amazing how before watching this movie I thought Peta was a joke.....I'll never eat/wear an animal product again.
DVD Review: The rednecks, sportsmen, & NRA guys will never take this important story seriously, but some of us do.
Summary: 5 Stars
Was a difficult show to watch. But the animals in the show hoped that someone would. Does God care about what happens? We & the animals all got "sent" here from wherever we all "were" before we popped into our fetuses, someone is in charge "out there", but He allows too many of the wrong ones in charge here of "some things".
We wonder why He permits bullying & other unfair events.
DVD Review: mixed feelings
Summary: 2 Stars
its a very well made documentary and very educational.
i would like to say that i support PETA but i cant. i fully believe in everything that they are doing for the animals (minus the hypocritical killings) but dont like how they try to make their points. in Ingrid's eyes, "there is no bad publicity" yet there really is.
there are many people that are completely turned off by PETA's outrageous tactics and think anyone that tries to support animal rights is nuts. in fact, simply doing a peaceful protest against puppy mills draws a lot of these people to poke fun, say we're crazy and assume that we are a part of PETA, which we are not.
PETA has done some good but has also damaged the name of animal activists and advocates for eternity. we are stuck fighting even harder for the animals because of what they have done.
DVD Review: Very Informative
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this documentary, it gives real insight into the mind and motives of Ingrid Newkirk and really demonstrates her passion and compassion for all animals.DVD Review: PETA KILLS ANIMALS
Summary: 1 Stars
This film is full lies and propaganda they say they care for animals and are for animal rights.
But those are lies .The truth is peta kills over 90% of the animal they get .They don't even
to try find homes for them while the other animal shelters in the same area find homes for 85% of there animals.Peta employees have been found going to animal shelters telling them they were there to help them find home for animals .Then after they got the animals would kill them in there van with lethal injections or wait until got back to HQ. Then they take bodys and throw them in dumpers.And those empoyees have been arested for animal cruelty .Ingrid newkirk knew about it and was for it. They terrorist and satist who get off by killing heathy animals.If you want the TRUTH go to peta kills [...] or to U Tube type in Peta lies. Any how I say
