"after all, bible-believers notwithstanding, if you eat and wear animals and agree that it’s o.k. to torture them in the name of science and beauty, what’s the big deal?"
in robinson devor's new(semi)-documentary “zoo,"he explores a community of famers and friends (all men who live about 45 minutes southeast of seattle), who gather together and show their "love" of animals...they might have too much love- i'm gonna be honest. it centers around a man from this community who died from a perforated colon when he attempted to have sex with a horse. luckily for us, devor doesn't get too graphic with those images. even so i find myself wondering: in a world where we treat animals as inanimate, disposable commodities- is this really so bad...is it really any worse? read more about the film (which i don't believe will be opening nationwide) here- http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/25/movies/25zoo.html?bl&ex=1177646400&en=10b7387b3de4d32b&ei=5087%0A

I saw it at SXSW...its a great documentary, very odd. Its playing here in NY, we should all go see it and be amazed together!
yeah i would love to do that! it's a date.
waaaaahhhhhhhh
Ya'll, I mean I love animals, but I don't LOVE animals. Know what I mean?
I don't get it.
we need to see this asap. because, honestly, I've always thought animals were only good for eating and wearing. But, this documentary could be very informative.
