This documentary looks at the methods employed by animal rights activists, from the well-known People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to smaller grassroots organizations. In addition to depicting various activists' media savvy and protests, the film also details outbreaks of violence by some of the movement's most militant elements. In response to some acts, in 2005 the FBI takes the controversial step of placing certain animal rights activists on its list of potential terrorists.

Critics Consensus

A thoroughly fascinating, well-presented examination of the animal rights debate that is both provocative and thought-provoking.

Perhaps the greatest service Johnson does is to turn the event that spurred him to make the film -- the FBI labeling animal rights activists the top domestic terrorist threat -- into a crucial dialogue.

It lets you off dizzy and confused, whereas the best documentaries leave you feeling that you've come to a settled perspective on a subject.

Those on both sides of the animal rights issue will find much to fume over in ... Curt Johnson's in-depth, eye-opening examination of the movement.

Your Mommy Kills Animals lays things out with historical perspective, tracing the roots of both the animal welfare movement and animals rights activism to England.

Johnson's not pushing buttons just for the sake of attention-getting, he's revealing just how hopelessly complicated the issue has grown.

a documentary that looks at the animal liberation movements, including PETA, ALF, and SHAC. Ya know, i never noticed how hypocritical PETA is until i watched this movie...and saw that they too are killing animals - and, then have the balls to say they're doing it "Humanely" what a bunch of bull. they also look at the stuff that went down after Katrina - and, how the small grassroots movements did more to help then the humane society. Very good film - but, some of the pictures and videos they show are more than graphic. And, if you're wondering where they got the name of this film from - it's actually from a PETA comic - they get more in depth with that too. They showed more view points from everyone - so, i'm not shocked it won an award for best documentary when it debuted. And...also, they went against PETA and all the big ones that are supposed to be for animals. That's a nice stand! After this film, i'll be shocked if you still support PETA.

An interesting, informative, but unfortunately overlong documentary about animal rights activists and the various tactics they use. The director wisely decides not to take a stance himself, but, rather, allows for all sides to speak. This approach educates the audience without being ponderous, and it also allows the viewer to come to his or her own opinion. It also means that the film drags and becomes redundant at points. Nevertheless, I strongly recommend this film to anyone interested in the subject.
