09/26/2016 I appreciated that this movie showed all ends of the spectrum and the viewer was left to form her own opinion. Very well done. See more 07/14/2016 Great film. Very informative without being preachy. Gives people insight on animals raised for food and how consumers can help this industry drive more humane practices.
