MattyC, I agree with you on the main issue that the movie's dealing with. The last paragraph in your post is the main point of the whole thing, and I'm right there with you:
Quote:
As far as doing it for our entertainment, I don't agree with it. And doing so with conditions far outside of what is natural, It just gives me a really uneasy feeling.
However, I am fundamentally and vehemently against deliberately lying and misleading people in an attempt to further an agenda - even an agenda I am in agreement with.

As you say, by all accounts - including those of people included in the movie and people who are, like us, in agreement that using these animals as an entertainment source is something that needs to stop - portions of the film were fabricated. Certain individuals made blatantly untrue statements staring into a camera. They presumably did this to further an ideological goal. I find that behaviour despicable, irrespective of the motive. I want to know the truth, and make up my own mind about the worthiness of the ideological goal.
