Skinny Bitch Rory Freedman on Earthlings

Published in WorldFest, vegan, Rory Freedman, activism by EarthlingsTeam | Comment (0)
Rory Freedman, author of the bestseller "Skinny Bitch" and the new "Skinny Bastard," spoke with us recently about why she buys Earthlings DVDs and gives them out.

"There's nobody who can watch Earthlings and not be profoundly changed. Once you see this movie, your life is going to be different."

"You cannot explain to someone what an animal goes through in the way that Earthlings shows it. It's a visceral experience."
Kathy Freston, Quantum Wellness


Hello new and old friends!

We had a wonderful time meeting everyone who came to our booth at WorldFest and want to thank you for helping make the day such a success. For those of you outside of Los Angeles, we sincerely hope you have a chance to attend a similar festival where you can surround yourself with conscious and compassionate people, eat fantastic vegan food, and hear great speakers like Rory Freedman and Kathy Freston. (More on them to come.) If there is an event coming up in your town you think we should attend, please let us know (connect@earthlings.com).

If you were kind enough to buy a DVD or t-shirt at WorldFest, your contribution directly supports programs to:

* Translate Earthlings into additional languages and subtitle future DVD editions, especially Asian languages, so we can spread the message about animal abuse to more communities worldwide.

* Offer free screenings of the film on university campuses around the world.

* Make Unity, the sequel to Earthlings, due out late this year.


If there is an event coming up in your town, please let us know!

Did you know?

  • Veggie Day in Belgium
The Belgian city of Ghent has declared 'Meatless Thursdays.' All government employees, including elected officials, will omit meat one day a week. Schoolchildren will also observe the meat-out when the fall session begins.

Many thanks to Mike, one of our discussion forum superstars, for posting this story.

  • Life Without Cars
"In Vauban, an experimental new district on the outskirts of Freiburg, near the French and Swiss borders, streets are completely "car-free" - except the main thoroughfare, where the tram to downtown Freiburg runs, and a few streets on one edge of the community. As a result, 70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold a car to move here."

Viewer mail

Because it wouldn't be a newsletter without viewer mail, here's an email from Mark that touched us deeply:

"I would just like to say this has to be the most profoundly moving film I have ever watched. I originally watched it on the net and although I could have downloaded it for free, I felt this would have been disrespectful to the makers of this film and to the countless suffering animals for whom this film was made. Thank you for lighting a candle for all the countless sentient beings who suffer unbearable fear and pain. Yours sincerely, Mark"
