Land of Hope and Glory

Up there with Earthlings and Dominion. An excellently narrated documentary, shocking footage showing the hard cold truth of humanity's systemic exploitation of animals. It does a brilliant job at highlighting one of the most important social issues of our time.

As a country that prides itself on having some of the highest animal welfare standards in the world this is shocking viewing. It is easy to live with the delusion that although animal agriculture is bad in other parts of the world eating British products makes you somehow exempt from those problems.

This dispels any notion that British farming is even close to humane, hard viewing but worth a watch.

If you consider yourself a moral person, please just watch this documentary, especially if you live in a Western country and you think that lots of horrible things happening on this world are happening in the East!

I'm sure lots of people will reconsider their morality after watching documentaries like this one.

But if you don't want to bother and skip this as always to another TV series period drama with 800 episodes! Then don't consider yourself a moral person, you're not simply an ethical person, that's it, so simple!

Everyone who uses any form of animal products is supporting these horrific acts. You can't simply close your eyes and say... I love the taste of them!!! You are talking about some animals that are being tortured and suffering every second and guess who's paying for that to be done over and over... YOU!

I'm sure a lot of people risk their social status and even their security to film these footage. Future generation with better ethical status will thank them gratefully and remind these years as a horrible stone-age kind of thing.

The question is not, Can they reason? Nor, Can they talk? But, Can they suffer?

-Jeremy Bentham

8.3/10.

Anyone who is against unnecessary cruelty should watch this film.

Very interesting and informative in itself. People who don't believe that this kind of cruelty would not be allowed should definitely watch this film as it provides proof that is does.

This was painful to watch. Having seen Earthlings I was hopefully the UK would in some way be more humane..... it's not. This film is short and straight to the point. We are lead to believe UK farming is in some way superior and it's just not the case. This should be shown in schools as part of kids education to allow them to make informed life choices. I was a meat eater before I watched this but I'm not anymore. Transition to vegan was actually easy! This film changed my life.
