I am a vegetarian, I am mostly vegan. After the film, I still think Ingrid & many at Peta are absolutely out of this world insane, but I do admire the compassion underneath it.
It is sad that Peta finds it ok to exploit people (such as women, even willing) as props, yet they fight adamantly against the same treatment of animals.
Objectification of animals AND people need to BOTH end.
I am for basic animal and human rights, but of different means I guess, & hopefully a good end.

solid documentry and changes the viewpoints most people have of peta based off of media attention and some copy cats who don't know what they are protesting about, i don't agree with a pig is a dog is a boy because i don't believe that we are animals that is another discussion, but i haven't eaten poultry or ham, beef etc for two plus years and don't plan on ever going back because of the very things peta is fighting for animal cruelty is real and people need to wake up and stop pretending everything is fine and especially that most kids don't even know that the food they eat is the same farm animals they love and enjoy, i highly recommend this one it is an eye opener and well executed.

People who've seen the naked protests or the attention-grabbing magazine ads--or those who stumbled onto one of many Web-based campaigns on animal abuse--know People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, but do they know the people behind PETA? "I Am an Animal: The Story of Ingrid Newkirk and PETA" takes you behind the scenes of the most recognizable--and controversial--animal rights organization. Watch as PETA plants a man in a slaughterhouse (who later recalls animal rape and torture); Newkirk, the organization's president, saves a malnourished dog from its owner, sets it up in one of PETA's posh animal suites (complete with toys and background music) and puts it to sleep; and both PETA and its detractors speak out on the organization. Most fascinating, however, are all things Newkirk. Here's a woman who was married to a man whom she said posed no problems, but whom she divorced only because the marriage was obstructing her work with animals (that is, she hadn't the time for him); this is a woman who recalls, as a child, wanting to severely wound a man who mistreated a dog; she's someone who, in her will, wants to be barbecued (literally) and have her skin used to make fashion accessories, so that people can see (as she tells it) that we are animals, too. (Her explanation of that is reason enough to watch this HBO documentary.)
