Featured review
It's fantastic that Moby highlighted the connection between punk and the animal rights/animal liberation movement, as well as ethical veganism. However, for those with some knowledge in these areas, the document won't provide much new information. I didn't discover any new bands since I was already familiar with most of the ones featured, mainly because they are well-known bands. I appreciate the fact that Moby progressed from punk to hardcore to metal, as these themes are gaining popularity within the metal genre. Conversely, I have noticed a gradual decline in punk bands openly promoting animal and environmental protection in their lyrics, or actively participating in such activities. I find it disheartening that many vegans today, who overly prioritize human interests, dismiss animal rights while still opposing animal suffering. They defend this viewpoint by equating rights with laws and argue that laws restrict human freedom (lol). Even some bands have ceased performing songs about ethical veganism, using the excuse that they no longer wish to preach to others and that personal choice should prevail. This is a lamentable situation, which makes me grateful that Moby released this documentary at the eleventh hour, as it may inspire some punks to maintain their old activist ways, thus contributing, albeit in a small way, to animal welfare and the environment.
