Using hidden cameras and never-before-seen footage, Earthlings chronicles the day-to-day practices of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit.
| Plot Summary |
A documentary by the American environmental organization Nation Earth seeks to show the brutality that humans inflict on animals in order to make viewers rethink their lifestyles. It is divided into several parts: pets (trapping and extermination of feral dogs), food (torture and slaughter of livestock in slaughterhouses), clothing (killing animals for fur), entertainment (cruel living conditions of animals in circuses, death in rodeos and in bullfights). The film is actually a narrated series of individual shots, most of which are allegedly taken by hidden camera in real slaughterhouses and similar places.

| Quotes |
Narrator:
It is the human earthling who tends to dominate the earth, oftentimes treating other fellow earthlings and living beings as mere objects. This is what is meant by 'speciesism'. By analogy with racism and sexism, speciesism is a prejudice or attitude or bias in favor of the interests of the members of one's own species and against those of members of other species.
