This comment really annoys me. I feel this person is completely misses the point of the movie. It's not dramatized. It's real shit, that is really happening. I hear a lot of people getting huffy about the Holocaust comparison, and in that I honestly think they are trying to point out that we are animals, and yet we place more value on the life of a human than we do a cow. So, in the context of us both being animals, which we are, the same thing is essentially happening, only in far greater numbers for the cows. I don't feel that they are trying to take anything away from the Holocaust in any way, but rather trying to give the viewer the clearest understanding of what it happening. They do show really graphic footage, but I really believe it's something that needs to be brought to our attention. It's happening because we're not paying attention, and though it may not taste very good to swallow, it's still fucking happening whether you brush it off or not. I feel like there are a number of things I could say about this annoying turds comment, but I think I will just shush now.

It's all a matter of perspective, and I feel this person has a very narrow one. It also sounds like they are trying to do some rationalizing for themselves here.

I am not generally one to be consumed by sad, sappy, or fucked up shit as I am a grossly terrible, and I have a great appetite for things most foul. But, I truly feel this movie is incredibly important.
Also, I am not a fan of PETA, and this movie has nothing to do with PETA.

I guess I am chirping in on this so that if you do choose to watch the movie, you're perhaps able to step into it with the least walls up.
