Mad Cow Disease - An hour long documentary

Here is a fantastic but extremely disturbing documentary on BSE (Mad Cow Disease).  The video is from the Korean National Broadcasting System so the subtitles aren't very good but the content itself is informative and shocking.

Bad Medicine - The Human Cost of Animal Experiments

Please be advised that this video is very difficult to watch.

Created by the British Anti-Vivisection Association, this 45 minute video documents the history of animal testing and the costs it has imposed upon humans and animals.  The film info states:

It is the first UK produced film exposing the full implications of basing a system of medicine on the practice of animal experimentation,  ... all » or vivisection, and was produced to counter the bombardment of pro-vivisection propaganda that has been purposely manufactured and disseminated by a media – the BBC in particular – that has been only too eager to take up without question the cause of those whose task it is to convince us that vivisection ‘works’.
Bad Medicine exposes:
The devastating toll in human lives because of animal 'safety-tested' drugs, and why animal testing is used as a scapegoat when drugs kill and injure people
The reasons why animal research cannot help people, and how human health is declining despite - or rather because of - the billions spent on animal research
How the cancer industry is not interested in genuine cancer treatments
The real reasons for the decline of the infectious diseases
How the media and politicians both benefit from vivisection's continuation
How many within the medical profession are opposed to vivisection, and how the practice is the cause of an out-of-control 'health-care' expenditure
That vivisection is responsible for the poisoning of our environment.

This is an extremely difficult documentary to watch.  This hour long film details what happens in a specific British slaughterhouse and the men who work there.  Please be aware that they literally show what happens during the slaughter process.

The Rise & Rise of Animal Rights

Below is an interesting show on the recent history of Animal Rights in the UK.  I found parts to be well stated and others to be very frustrating.  For some reason the creators focused for the most part on the animal rights extremists.  Showing clips of people breaking cars, breaking down doors, etc.  I would liked to have seen more shown on people who are vegan.  But, then again, this is about animal rights and so you will undoubtedly have extreme activism in the mix.

The show is obviously taken from a VHS tape and so it's not the best quality.  It's an hour and forty-five minutes long so don't be put off by the first five minutes.  There are some really nice parts.
