    I found this movie rather lame. I’m a vegan and was really looking for something a little more intellectual and fact based. To me this movie was just a guy petting a bunch of farm animals and speculating on no evidence whether they had feelings or not. Seriously, if this is the best the vegan movie world has to offer the standards are way too low.

    I find the documentary Peaceable Kingdom much more efficient than this one. Calling it The Emotional World of Farm Animals makes little sense (to me). Also I don’t see the point of comparing a cow with a dog, they are different, have different intelligence levels, and it’s ok. People need to learn to respect animals that feel differently than dogs, that’s what people need to understand. Saying that cows and dogs are similar is the wrong approach. Plus, having someone pressuring the interviewees to say what you are looking for does not give a good impression. What the interviewees were saying was actually quite interesting, if only there was no interviewer this would have been much better. Thanks for posting, despite my critics to the documentary, I enjoyed watching it :-)
