Alors The End of Meat, c'est le projet d'un végane allemand, de faire un film assez complet sur ce à quoi pourrait ressembler une société après l'abolition de la viande. Ca traiterait à la fois de l'impact écologique et de tout l'aspect éthique du fait de mettre fin à la domination des humains sur les animaux, en cumulant des interviews de philosophes, de scientifiques, d'artistes et de militants. Le projet m'a l'air sympathique. (Le fait de présenter ça de manière réaliste, optimiste, entre complètement dans le cadre "abolition de la viande", et j'aime bien.)
Et donc là, il lance une campagne de crowdfunding sur Indiegogo pour compléter le budget de production. La campagne se termine mi juillet, et le tournage débuterait en Août.

Imagine a society in which animals are no longer exploited for human use. Where the rights and needs of animals are respected and taken into consideration. And where our relationship with them is one based on compassion and understanding instead of domination.

The End of Meat is a feature documentary that explores the idea of a post-meat world. It will include interviews with philosophers, scientists, artists and activists who offer their insight and progressive ideas about the role of animals in our society.

Will Kymlicka and Sue Donaldson, authors of Zoopolis, picture a just and equal future of animal-human relations based on the political theory of citizenship. But once we free animals from our domination– should we make them independent of us so they can lead their separate lives? Or should we instead try to rebuild our relationship towards them, so that a compassionate and respectful coexistence is possible? The growing number of animal sanctuaries—providing a safe haven for neglected and abused animals—could be a model for a just and peaceful existence we might be able to have with animals one day.

Since animals can't speak for themselves, how do we know what they desire and how can we accommodate them? Pro-animal rights parties in various European countries that campaign for respectful treatment of animals could lead the way for animals to be fully represented in the political and legal system.

What are we going to eat in a post-meat world? The first lab-grown burger was presented to journalists in London in 2013. Could meat grown in a lab be a model for the planet’s future diet? A number of start-ups, some of them based in Silicon Valley—right next to many of the world's largest high-tech corporations—are leading the production of plant-based alternatives which look, smell and taste just like animal-based foods. The research for dairy-free milk, the plant-based burger patty that 'bleeds' and lab-grown meat has attracted entrepreneurs such as Bill Gates and venture-capital firms. The demand for products with a lower environmental impact that are healthier and cheaper yet just as satisfying as animal-based products is on the rise.

What effects would a post-meat world have on the environment? Will it reduce carbon emissions, conserve water and make the food supply safer? And how would this change of diet impact our health?

And finally, is animal exploitation linked to other forms of oppression? How would a society free from animal exploitation change the way we treat each other? Could it possibly be the dawn of a more peaceful and just world?


A post-meat world?

Many of you probably think that the idea of a vegan world sounds unrealistic. The numbers of animals killed for food production worldwide are hard to grasp and there is a powerful vested interest in the system of animal exploitation. Most of us have grown up to see animals as a subordinated class intended to serve us.

But vegans are seen as a group with a tremendous influence on public opinion. German future scientist Harald Welzer estimates, that about 3-5 % in every class of society are necessary for an idea to become mainstream. A number that is perhaps not all that far away.

Animal agriculture’s link to climate change, water pollution, deforestation and loss of biodiversity is no longer a secret and has become a growing concern.

Meat producers launching vegan products, the rising numbers of vegan cookbooks and food blogs, more and more products labeled as vegan, vegan restaurants and supermarkets opening everywhere represent this behavioral shift.

We are fast approaching a turning point in history. The End of Meat provides viewers a better understanding of the benefits and possibilities for both animals and humans alike. The film will also help to inspire those working towards a better future for animals by offering reasons that a more compassionate world is possible.
 
Effectivement ça a l'air intéressant, c'est fait pour ma part!
C'est l'auteur du documentaire "Live and let live" (https://vimeo.com/ondemand/liveandletlive) qui avait été diffusé à l'espace Jean Dame y a quelques semaines/mois donc ça laisse envisager quelque chose de bien. ;)

Ps : Attention, si il y en a qui souhaitent acheter le film sur vimeo, il semblerait que les sous-titres ne soient disponibles qu'en location et le documentaire alterne entre anglais et allemand.
 
Hyper intéressant!
En espérant que le projet puisse aboutir.
C'est souvent le dernier argument qu'on me sors personnellement à la fin d'une conversation/d'un débat sur le véganisme "Oui mais comment gérer tous ces animaux s'ils étaient libre.. économiquement parlant" etc et j'en passe.
Donc cool! :)
