Gasland took 90 minutes to make the case against fracking. This will do it in less than 5.

If they're talking about bringing fracking to your community, you should show this to your neighbors. I couldn't watch the whole thing. Truly horrible.

2. Everyone should know that many kitties are shown...
I watched the whole thing. I wasn't sure what I would see. Any suffering--whether human
or animal--is horrible to watch.

I know that I have a special affection for kitties, and it can be terribly painful watching
something that is voiceless and powerless than human beings suffering--due to what human
beings do. I know there are many DUers who love kitties and would want to know that many
cats are on the video.

It was really sad. Poor kitties. I've never seen a video like that.

How can this be happening in our country? Clearly the woman in the video was suffering. You
could hear it in her breathing. She sounded so devastated and traumatized.

And all of this is happening--to enrich corporations. No matter what it does to people.

Our country is becoming a grotesque version of some kind of world that I don't even recognize.

3. I'm reminded of Milton's quote:
"A heaven of hell, or a hell of heaven."

It's not just in our minds that we can do this, though. The pursuit of profit is making Earth a living hell.

May the animals and people involved rest in peace.
