Videos - (for loan to local folk)

• The Animals Video - 136 minute tape covering animals use and abuse extensively. Includes animal's treatment in city pounds, on factory farms, on fur farms, in traps, in labs, during hunting, and in government research. Interviews with hunters, researchers, farmers, and animal rights activists. Very powerful. MUST BE SEEN.

• Breaking Free #1 - video taken by militant protesters standing up for animals. Includes protests, civil disobedience, and animal liberations. Very motivational.

• Breaking Free #2 - more of the same. That's a good thing.

• Animal Liberation the movie and Angels of Mercy - split tape with the first half produced by the ALF about the ALF and the second half is a short film about the ALF by someone else. Learn about the ALF here, not from the animal abuse industries.

• Their Future in Your Hands (Animal Aid/PETA) - short film about animal abuse and what we can do to help.

• Changing Minds, Changing Times (PETA) - short film about PETA

• Fur Farms and Trapping (PETA) - exposes the horrible conditions on fur farms and shows animals being caught in fur traps.

• Animals Used for Food (the Diner) (PETA) - 11 minutes that will make you a vegetarian. Heart rending images of animals being slaughtered as they thrash and cry out.

• Britches (PETA)- uplifting video of an infant primate rescued from a lab where he had been removed from his mother, had his eyes sewn shut, and had some sort of sonar or radar device strapped to his head.

• Breaking Barriers (PETA)- conditions witnessed in this video launched the international Save the Chimps campaign. Primates in isolation chambers have gone mad from lack of stimuli and contact.

• Classroom Cut-Ups (PETA)- find out how animals slated for dissection are treated. Cats are stolen from owners, beaten with crow bars, and injected with formaldehyde while still alive. Undercover footage from the nations two largest biological suppliers. The biology department probably would not want you to see this.

• Silver Spring Monkeys (PETA)- founder of PETA goes undercover and documents horrible abuse at a primate facility. Animals are starved, denied medical attention, and left to rot in their own feces.

• Inside Biosearch (PETA)- footage of rabbits undergoing the LD50 (forced poisoning until half are dead) and Draize (caustic substances forced into eyes) tests.

• Dog Lab (PETA)- a dog with inadequate anesthesia is used in several surgery demonstrations. The students learn that it is okay to ignore the dog's signs of pain (whining), to tear blood vessels, to insert trachea tubes that are too large, and generally show no respect for animal life. Tech has a dog lab, too.

• Cheap Tricks (PETA)- performing animals are beaten, attacked, and caged in intense heat and for long durations for the enjoyment of humans at circuses, state fairs, etc.

• Getting Away with Murder (PETA) - perfect example of useless animal "research." A domesticated ferret is allowed to attack domesticated mice, rats, and rabbits for no apparent reason. It appears to be merely for the benefit of a sadistic student and his unethical professor.

• No Gravy for the Cat (PETA) - animal "researcher" does various bad things to cats.

• Victims of Indulgence (PETA) - shows how pate de foie gras is made. Ducks and Geese have metal tubes shoved down their throat and are force-fed until their diseased liver is ready to eat. A number of animals regularly die from, among other things, their throats exploding while being force-fed.

• Unnecessary Fuss (PETA)- 30 minute tape of head injury experimentation on primates. Shows researchers smoking cigarettes and pipes while both performing surgery on primates and while conducting experiments. Also show researchers laughing at and mocking severely brain damaged primates.

• Pig Farm Investigation (PETA) - undercover video of a pig farm. Graphic scenes of workers beating sows with a prodding device, a wrench, a cement block, and what appears to be a crow bar. Also scene of vaginal penetration of a sow by a prodding device. Scene of throat slitting and skinning of a sow with a pocket knife while she is still conscious.

• Baker's Farm Slaughterhouse, Swansea, Mass. - one hour and thirty minutes of a small slaughterhouse killing pigs, goats, sheep, and cows. Watching this is like visiting a slaughterhouse and standing on the killing floor for 90 minutes. Summer 1998.

• A Planet for the Taking - 52 minute tape exploring our domestication of animals and ourselves.

• The Shameful Scheme - shows animals caught in traps that the fur industry would have you think are more humane. 5 minutes.

• Health with Humanity - alternatives to animals in teaching medical students.

• Ahimsa: Non-violence - fascinating and inspiring look at Jainism, a religion that practices non-violence towards all life. 58 minutes.

• Circus Elephants - a horrible glimpse into what happens when performing elephants decide they have had enough. Shows trainers and spectators being trampled and crushed and a sickening scene of an escaping elephant being slowly shot to death by dozens of bullets from small caliber firearms. 5 minutes.

• Broiler Chickens (PETA) - shows the condition of the chickens that are raised on factory farms for their flesh. Follows them from birth to killing. 11 minutes.

• Meet your Meat (PETA) - a more horrible and graphic version of the Diner. Broken up into sections showing the atrocities involved with each of the main types of flesh. 12 minutes.

• something on most animal rights issues.
• We always carry a number of Why Vegans if you would like some to distribute

• Animal Rights, Animal Welfare. (1991) Call number: HV 4704 A55

2 hour video of Iowa's(?) agriculture extension service. Pretty one-sided, with the entire panel and host being pro-animal agriculture. Very educational though, especially in learning about pro-animal agriculture's point of view. Also provides a very sketchy overview of many groups along the animal use to animal liberation spectrum from hunting groups to the Humane Society to the ALF.
• Cattleman Care about Animal Welfare. (1991) Call Number: SF 207 C37

15 minute tape produced by cattle interests. Essentially a propaganda piece on why the cattle industry is great for animals and humans. Lots of scenes of cows in idyllic pastures. No scenes of slaughtering.
