mvmjrogers Difficult but necessary to watch how the animals born into a factory farm to live a life in unnatural conditions used up discarded with not a moment of human decency their newborns delivered while they stand on concrete with milking rods attached to their teats, they are snatched from the womb crying for their mothers who cannot even turn to contest this horrific cruelty.The male babies placed in restrictive crates to not move for 3 months then slaughtered as veal or female babies religated to the same fate as their mothers. TO WHAT END??? The question is answered...and some of it may surprise you. This is a must see for the blissfully unaware. Put them in a headlock and make em watch. We're killing the planet with methane gas, polluting the water supply with excrement and killing ourselves with the inflammation from dairy. Perhaps these creatures are exacting their revenge We need to hold ourselves our government and those who are manipulating the truth in order to make profits off this atrocity to the fire.

nickdnk This "documentary" is not a documentary. It's a rabid attempt to make everyone who isn't a vegan feel like they should be. The science mentioned in this film is purposedly misinterpreted or straight up false. Just Google something like "Cowspiracy accuracy". It's ludicrous.And I'm all for being vegan, saving the planet and what not, but Cowspiracy does that take a reasonable approach to this subject at all. It's scare tactics and nothing else. But hey - if you became vegan after watching it then it served its purpose. The reason you became vegan may be nonsense, but you became vegan nonetheless. Just remember that.

wisegreenlocket This documentary is literally like watching an 8 year old child whose done a presentation on 'livestock', barely knows what he's talking about, but is very passionate and throwing obscure 'statistics' in your face, just very desperate to get a gold star. As other reviews have also highlighted, his statistics mostly come from very sketchy sources (for which would not be acceptable in any high- level academic paper),and any interviewees who discuss his argument for the other side simply have their point cut in half. This is not a conspiracy, it's just an irrelevant issue not worth the time and resources of the high-profile environmental groups.

declercqd I work as a researcher in the energy sector. CO2 emissions are literally a part of my job. Everybody agrees we are emitting too much emissions. The movie tells lie after lie about greenhouse gas emissions. Yes its true that methane is about 25 times more powerful as a greenhouse gas, but even taking that into account the Enteric Fermentation (Farts and burps) of cattle accounts for 3 percent of the total. While the energy sector emits 29% and the transport 27%. That is why no one is talking about it! because we have to first focus on bringing down the emissions of the sectors that emit a lot more CO2 equivalent gases. The part about destroying the forests and the environment for our animals could be true. But the part of the water is another time way over exaggerated. Yes a burger needs a lot of water to be produced, but most of that water falls right out of the sky as rain.After 20 minutes I just couldn't take the lies anymore they invent numbers like cattle accounts for 50% of all emissions...I believe in improving the environment and that we have to change a lot to combat with climate change. But what they are proposing is the same as his example of the shower. Not eating meat isn't going to help at all compared to improving the emissions of transport and improving the emissions of the energy sector, the sector that emits the most CO2. So lets invest in Carbon capture and storage for coal and CCGT plants, install more renewable generation, all buy electric cars, and that's the way to solve the problem. Not becoming vegetarian.I was so furious about the numbers they were claiming that I really had to write a review. (first review ever on IMDb by the way)
