What reactions does the film Dominion evoke in us?
The movie Dominion makes us swallow hard because it shows, how cruelly we humans treat and exploit animals. I was also inevitably reminded of how people were enslaved because of the color of their skin.
It would be very surprising if the pictures left you completely cold. For me, too, the documentation one or two tears were shed. Feelings that have also led me to make positive changes to my personal behavior in everyday life.

This movie changes your life positively
As cruel as this documentary about animal husbandry is, as much as they motivatesomething about your own Sustainable consumer behavior to change. Because whether cow, pig, dog, cat or turkey, whether farm animal or pet, they are all sentient beings that differ only in their appearance and behavior.
Therefore it is also not enough to be vegetarianto really do something for the animals. Only when we stop eating animals and treating them as objects or commoditiessomething will really change.
"Woe to humanity, should only a single animal have a seat in the Last Judgement."
Christian Morgenstern, German poet and writer (1871-1914)
