who thought that it was hilarious that after watching that woman kill and skin that rabbit the end of the movie said that she wanted to get her degree as a vet?t The first time I watched the movie I was in a class and the whole class cracked up!
shareWell that made perfect sense to me. Obviously she has a good understanding of anatomy already. I would expect her to accell as a vet.
shareEvery second with that woman was awesome.

I wonder what that women is up to after nearly 16 years, my guess is she is dead.
shareNo, the rabbit scenes weren't gratuitous at all. No, totally worth watching for its social import. Skinning a rabbit.
shareHonestly I thought it was a rather disturbing sight to watch, and sort of irrelevant to the film. It did show what some people resorted to, so I suppose it is an acceptable scene, but it is something that I wouldn't want to see in too many films.
And yes, I agree with whoever said that by her skinning rabbits she would make a very good vet. First hand experience taken to the max.
My guess is Michael was kind of squeemish about the whole thing too. Listening to the audio my guess is that he's as far away as possible from what she's doing as opposed to his normal "hey look at me"
shareYeah, I too cracked up with that remark...
Me, I grew up near farms in middle-sweden. I have been around slaughterings and helped out at them too as I moved with my parents to my grandparents farm. So the slaughtering, the skinning, the gutting wasn't disturbing at all. It's just something you have to do. And also, I have always regarded the killing of animals for meat to be the best reason to kill them, second, maybe fur, lastly is to just kill them and let rot, that my friends, is disturbing!
I also remembered a part of the book Stupid White Men where Moore talks about the sequence and his chock that the school-children where so traumatized by the footage of the killing, skinning and gutting of the little cuddly white rabbit while at the same time showed almost no reaction to all of the other miseries and especially the black woman screaming for help for her baby that was gunned down... what to make of that? I don't know, I'm gonna eat some of the meat in the freezer that I know the name of the cow it came from. And yes, I did like this cow, "Tora", but that's the facts of life, and at least she wasn't killed without purpose. Cherioh mates!
I grew up on farms to also around slaughterings.
It is not nessesary.
We do not "need" meat we chose to eat it.
it doesn thave to happen at all.
Thank god no animal had to die so I can enjoy a good meal.
By all means I am not sayig to people to stop eating meat. Only pointing out that the idea that it is nessesary is a joke.
If that 'Love God And Are 100% Proud Signature' makes you sick, make THIS your signature!
The part where she announced she was a vet was hilarious. The rabbit stripping scene was horrifying, though. I'm not even a vegetarian, and I was creeped out by it. After watching that scene, I can understand why people would be vegetarians. If I was forced to have to kill animals myself to make food, I'd become one myself.
shareshe was going to try to train to be an assistant to a vet, not a vet, which requires nearly eight years of school.
