Simply Perfect
A Masterpiece!
Bad writing, bad acting, a little sexism thrown in all to discredit the Human Society of the United States. Who would go to the trouble to produce crap like this. Protect the Harvest, a NRA like conservative pro hunting entity that has money to burn. If you own a red hat that says "Make America Great Again" this movie is for you.
Even by this films own admission there are unscrupulous breeders in business. Since the organizations that should be monitoring this industry for humane & ethical standards before certifying dogs & the facilities they are bred in are doing such a poor job, it is painfully obvious that animal welfare organizations are desperately needed to ensure dogs are maintained & sold to the public in the highest standards. The breeder, featured in this film as a target of false accusations, places blame for substandard practices of veterinary attention on someone else within the community who stole his dogs for backyard breeding. Maybe that is the truth or maybe he is actually the guilty one. Either way, until there are better laws & practices regulating this industry it is very hard to know for sure if a breeding facility is really caring for the dogs or if they are only concerned with their profits (which veterinary care & well maintained facilities eat into). Regardless the people who funded this film, Protect The Harvest, have their own agenda for making this film & I strongly encourage you to research this company before buying into what they are trying to sell you with this film.
THE GOOD...A refreshing look at the immoral politics of the so-called "animal-rights" industry (and yes it's an industry). Acting is good. Cast is good. Story is overall entertaining and kept my interest.THE BAD...Yes, it is a bit one-sided, but only inasmuch as it fails to portray the other side as one-dimensional as the truly are. Sorry, but no PETA (they use a different name, but we all know who they are referring to) activist would be that committed to fairness and truth. These people are radicals that care nothing for truth, as is abundantly illustrated by many of the negative reviews of this movie on this site. The writers used the term "livelihood" a bit too much. It may be a selling point to some people, by but-and-large it's a weak argument, or secondary at best.THE UGLY...It's way, waaay to close to the horrible, ugly truth. PETA actually does stuff like that. They slaughter thousands of animals each year (https://www.petakillsanimals.com/), many are healthy, adoptable dogs and cats. They don't "love" animals; they love the money they bilk from gullible people who fall for their con.
If you're a dog lover, I highly recommend this film. Very moving with a great pay-off at the end. Really exposes the truth about some organizations. This would be a good family movie, it's educational and also interesting. It brings about the debate on puppy mills and will give you insight on what some are really about. The good people out there follow the law and get punished for it, while those who mistreat and abuse animals go unnoticed. It's an unfair system that needs recognition and this movie brought awareness to it. It makes you question people's motives and what cause they're really fighting for. I would definitely watch this film again
