What does whalesongs have to do with Giovan Battista Pergolesi's Stabat
Mater? What is speciesism? This short film reveals what happens to
animals commonly considered objects to be bought and sold. The images
speak for themselves, with the animals' endless pleading, their cries
and moans, scenes from where man's insatiable hunger manufactures tasty
treats to eat. Speciesism is a way of thinking that completely blocks
out such a reality from our minds. Linda McCartney once said that if
slaughterhouses had transparent walls, we'd all be vegetarians. Perhaps
not everybody, but surely many of us.
