Voice of Nature | VPRO Documentary
The state of biodiversity in our polluted ecosystems is dismal. In the Netherlands, almost half of all species are under pressure. This must and can be changed. Are we really listening to nature, and are we giving it enough of a voice?
It's time to help our ecosystems and biodiversity. If not, the only animals on earth will soon be living in pig and chicken houses. So: how do we stop the decline? How do we bring back wildlife? And how do we ensure that animals can live a good life?

Thank you for making this video. What we humans have done to members of other species is horrifying, and difficult to face, and so very important. VPRO is one of the few sources willing to examine this ugly reality.
YES
Yes
Everything is alive, aware, and sentient. Most humans just can't comprehend or perceive the methods or time scales that the vast majority of life is operating on. Our need for proof and to frame everything in anthropomorphic terms is one of our biggest self-imposed limits.

Yes, exactly, on every point. Well spoken.
We are animals and animals are us.

We are all Earthlings. Like the documentary.
Imagine that! For ecosystems to have the right to exist without humans dumping toxic materials and rubbish into them. What a wild and crazy idea. Why it's not an obvious individual responsibility for each and every person be aware and accountable for never dropping, tossing or dumping their garbage anywhere but at home, in the proper bin.
There's a turkey, his favorite is the k-pop :D
Only if they say they want it.

Plants have rights, too. They're kinda sentient, somewhere between my brother-in-law and a capybara. Did you eat a salad today? Murderer.

Plants are not sentient, but even if they were, using them for food instead of eating animals would greatly reduce the number of plants that were "killed." Search for "Feed Conversion Ratios" to see that we now feed more calories and even protein to farm animals than we get from eating the animals.

You are right, for the wrong reasons. Sorry you feel the need to ridicule. Yes, all is sentient, including plants. Death and killing is a part of the landscape of Life, as is suffering/pain, it can´t be avoided in the perpetuation of LIfe. It´s okay in and of itself, but there are (widespread) ways of human conduct to cause pain and death that are not okay.
