The film explores the ambivalent relationship of people and their fellow creatures: animals. The common man sees in animals a creature that can be used for his needs. We show a deferred preference toward certain animals – mainly cats, dogs and horses. Other animals are nothing more than a food source or byproduct, which shows in how we treat them.

We manufacture products derived from animals in factories, under extreme conditions for our culinary, medical, experimental or fashion desires. How is it possible that people can think they love animals, while at the same time they close their eyes to their suffering, not willing to confront the endless pain and cruelty at their own hands? This is schizophrenic behaviour and yet we continue to turn a blind eye. The fact that meat, feathers, leather, and fur is the body of an animal, having an individual character and personality, has been produced solely for human needs and desire, and was butchered entirely against its will, is continually repressed.
