Pet Friends Magazine
This website was developed to bring together a "pet community" in Northern Michigan in the hopes that they can educate pet owners on responsible pet ownership and also help find homes for homeless pets. They primarily serve the counties of Grand Traverse, Benzie, Leelanau, Antrim, Kalkaska and Crawford but we will also report on stories farther away that would be of interest to their readers.

FILMS
Earthlings
Earthlings is a feature length documentary about humanity's absolute dependence on animals (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and scientific research) but also illustrates our complete disrespect for these so-called "non-human providers." The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix ("Gladiator") and features music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby.
With an in-depth study into pet stores, puppy mills and animals shelters, as well as factory farms, the leather and fur trades, sports and entertainment industries, and finally the medical and scientific profession, Earthlings uses hidden cameras and never before seen footage to chronicle the day-to-day practices of some of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. Powerful, informative and thought-provoking, Earthlings is by far the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature, animals, and human economic interests. There are many worthy animal rights films available, but this one transcends the setting. Earthlings cries to be seen. Highly recommended!
The
Witness
How does a construction contractor
from a tough Brooklyn neighborhood
become an impassioned animal activist?
In the award-winning documentary
The Witness, Eddie Lama explains
how he feared and avoided animals
for most of his life, until the
love of a kitten opened his heart,
inspiring him to rescue abandoned
animals, become a vegetarian,
and ultimately, to bring his message
of compassion to the streets of
New York.
Peaceable
Kingdom
Imagine awakening one day to realize
that the work you were trained
to do since birth, the life you
had always imagined you'd
lead, the very values that had
been taught in your family for
generations, went against the
deepest part of your being. In
Peaceable Kingdom, we hear the
riveting stories of people struggling
with their conscience around some
of our society's most fundamental
assumptions. An inspiring story
of personal redemption, compassion,
healing and hope, Peaceable Kingdom
is described by many of its viewers
as "a life changing experience."
