在整部电影中,有一种有影响力的地方的人们几乎无法阻止信息出来。Howard Lyman, an American farmer and animal rights activist, alludes to this in the documentary when he tells Kip and his fellow filmmaker (Keegan Kuhn) “If you don’t realise right now that you’re putting your neck on the chopping block, you better take that camera and throw it away.”
“当然,一旦我们与莱昂纳多·迪·卡普里奥(Leonardo di Caprio)(Cowspiracy的执行制片人)合作,我们就必须确保我们的事实更加锁定。I mean, they’re bulletproof [the facts] so sometimes, even if you’re just talking to a meat-eating environmentalist or whatever…they try to attack a certain aspect of the film and their argument falls apart because you can’t beat the truth.”
“Animal agriculture, raising animals for food, is the number one, not the number two, not the number three…it’s the number one cause of…ok maybe not climate change but water pollution, water consumption, ocean dead zones, wildlife extinction, rainforest destruction, and the decimating of the oceans…and yet you don’t see this information anywhere on their homepage.”
许多人争辩说,包括KIP和Keegan在Cowspiracy上与之交谈的许多人,组织不谈论动物农业的原因是,如果他们这样做会损害他们的公众形象和赞助协议。This idea suggests that it’s all about ‘political points-gaining’, and that to tell the meat-eaters amongst their supporters that they’re contributing to the downfall of the planet rather than helping to save it is a quick way to lose friends and alienate people.
