Logline :The woman’s life who owns a pet changes overnight.
Film Message: All animals have the right to live and breathe.
The short film That Also Breathes may serve as a wake-up call for animal rights advocates and pet lovers, prompting them to rethink their behavior toward animals and recognize that all creatures have the right to live and breathe.
People with pets often love them like their own children. They know that their pets feel, understand, and experience happiness and sadness just like humans do. But are dogs and cats—their beloved companions—any smarter or more deserving of life than cows and sheep?
Many fail to acknowledge that the animal on their plate was once alive and breathing. Now, all the pain, torture, and suffering that the animal endured has been placed on their plate as food. We cannot overlook the unfair discrimination that humans impose on other species simply because they are not human.
When we ignore the suffering of a living being—regardless of its species or nature—we cannot truly claim to be pro-animal or pro-peace. Whenever we take a life to satisfy our taste buds, conform to dietary customs, escape loneliness, or seek pleasure, we distance ourselves from peace. The same applies when we furnish our homes with leather couches and feather-filled cushions.
Have you ever wondered if the meat of an animal truly tastes good? But would you be willing to eat the flesh of your beloved pet? If the goal is to meet nutritional needs, such as protein and calcium, these can easily be obtained from plant-based sources and alternatives.
However, the issue extends beyond the killing of animals for survival or pleasure. The mistreatment inflicted upon animals while they are alive is even more disturbing.
Millions of animals are bred and slaughtered for human consumption. Vast amounts of agricultural land are used to grow animal feed instead of crops for human sustenance. Meanwhile, these animals endure some of the most inhumane conditions on factory farms, where they are merely seen as commodities—fodder turned into meat.
If we truly want to put an end to this, we must take a closer look at what’s on our plates.
Let’s reject customs and industries that profit from the exploitation of animals for food, entertainment, experimentation, medicine, and clothing.
If you oppose racism, oppression, suffering, torture, rape, and starvation…
If you stand for peace…
The meat on your plate was once a living, breathing creature.
