Earthlings has inspired many to go vegetarian and rethink their ideas about animals being used for human convenience. The director of the film, Shaun Monson, attended the World Fest 2010, an Earth Day festival in Los Angeles, California where he was briefly interviewed on vegetarianism, myths about protein and more.
Monson also touches on how humans have empathy for some creatures, like other humans and pets, but not farm animals.
“I suspect that if we view any expression of life with apathy that will mirror itself in humanity,” Monson says and cites a quote from Leo Tolstoy that says, “As long as their are slaughterhouses, there will be battlefields,” tying the link between killing animals and aggressive and general malcontent humans have towards other humans.
