!!!! But since the films release, a shift has begun to occur. Rainforest Action Network made a startling admission in July, stating that critics were fair to lambaste the organization for not making the reduction of animal agriculture its primary campaign. The group also pointed to a study stating that the amount of water used to produce beef was nearly three-times the amount claimed by Cowspiracy (presumably Andersen intentionally used low estimates to avoid criticism) and cited the United Nations in claiming animal agriculture was more responsible for global climate change than the totality of automobiles on the road today. All of these major environmental concerns exist outside the basic concept of animal rights, which the film explores with a restraint rarely seen around the subject. Andersen cleverly avoids highlighting the issue at all until later in the film, when he allows cognitive dissonance to speak through a young girl. She lives on a humane family farm and discusses a pigs impending slaughter with an eerie disaffection, explaining that she shouldnt be bonding as she dotes on the animal. Perhaps the only more disturbing moment is listening to her parents talk about how animal slaughter became the family business because they love them so much. huffingtonpost/chris-sosa/are-burgers-really-destro_b_5690278.html
