HBO documentary pigs woof Death On A Factory Farm
Death On A Factory Farm follows an undercover investigator named "Pete" onto an Ohio factory farm where pigs are treated in ways you will not believe! The video footage and court case which followed are heartbreaking, but motivating for anyone who cares about being kind to animals.
I don't really watch TV (sue me, I prefer reading), but it seems like HBO really has its act together! The award-winning network which brought you the documentary, I Am An Animal once again has a very important film for you.
Please make sure you watch this movie. Check the schedule here. This film starts airing tonight (March 16) and goes through the rest of the month!
This little piggy doesn't want to be your bacon.

Who Watched "I Am an Animal" Last Night? November 20, 2007
Posted by Marta at November 20, 2007 2:24 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 9 ) | TrackBackI certainly did! I'd been looking forward to watching HBO's I Am an Animal: The Story of Ingrid Newkirk and PETA since I first saw cameras around the office back when I was interning. Lara had a viewing party at her apartment, so a bunch of us got together with snacks and drinks in hand to tune in. You can imagine that there were certainly a lot of "Hey, there's Jason!" types of comments floating around.
Anyway, the documentary did not disappoint. Anyone who watched was able to catch a glimpse of what it's like to be Ingrid and what she goes through on a daily basis. I don't want to give anything away for those of you who haven't seen it yet, but the movie definitely gave me an extra dose of inspiration—I hope it caused those of you who saw it to feel the same way. We've already heard from many of you, and the resounding response is that your respect has only increased for Ingrid and PETA, and we're really happy to hear that!
One of the parts of the film I found to be really heart-wrenching was our undercover investigation into a Butterball Turkey Plant. I'd seen the investigation footage before, but it's always horrifying to watch and hear about what's happening to these animals. Not only that, I could never imagine having the courage and strength it takes to be an undercover investigator. People who conduct our undercover investigations have to mask any empathy they have for animals in order to get footage to show people what is really happening to animals. In honor of the 50,000 birds killed daily at the turkey plant investigated and the brave folks who went undercover to expose the cruelty, please watch our Butterball investigation and pass it along to your family and friends before Thanksgiving.
If you watched the documentary, what did you think of it? And if not, are you planning on checking it out? Hint: The correct answer is yes.

Yay! We finally got some new peta2 bumper stickers! As soon as they came in, I immediately put one on my car. I think it makes my VW Bug look even cuter (if that is even possible). What do you think?
My co-worker Dan also shared the same sticker excitement...
So I know it is a tough decision, but which one do you like better?
