Saw "Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes" the other day.
I had to wonder how anyone who loves animals could think it was fun to watch.
The movie was a blockbuster laundry list of all the ways we fail other creatures. We steal them from their habitats, imprison them, test on them, compromise their well-being in favour of our own, misunderstand them, torture them, change them into creatures they’re not meant to be, break promises we make to care for them, abandon them, then slaughter them.
Oh yeah.
And we celebrate when they're more like us ...
which is kinda weird, cuz all things considered, we're massive assholes.

I had the same thoughts. I went with my husband last week at his request and I cried through most of the movie. Not fun!
