Cowspiracy!

According to the makers of the new documentary film Cowspiracy, one industry is destroying the planet more than any other. It is the leading cause of global warming, water depletion, deforestation, species extinction and ocean dead zones. If you haven’t figured it out already, it is factory farming. So why do the world’s leading environmental groups — the very organizations who should be fighting factory farming — refuse to acknowledge it? I don’t know the answer, and I won’t find out on Thursday at the NYC premiere of Cowspiracy because it is sold out. Those bastards!  At least we have the trailer and the Cowspiracy website to keep us apprised of screenings.

Even though I haven’t seen Cowspiracy, I am already praying to the plant-based gods that it is nominated for best documentary film, a virtual assurance that it will hit mainstream theaters and knock some sense into the American public. Share the trailer on social media. Let’s help make this ground-breaking film blow the lid off of factory farming and the organizations who should be using our donations to fight it.
