Alec Baldwin creates anti-meat documentary

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Alec Baldwin wants you to " Meet Your Meat. "

" The Hunt For Red October " actor has narrated a new documentary short for

the activist group People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals that shows

images of animals raised for food.

 

In a grass-roots bid to disseminate the short, neither PETA nor Baldwin

copyrighted the film, hoping people who buy a DVD or VHS for $5 from the

group's Web site will make bootleg copies for friends or post it on the

Internet, said PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich.

 

In a letter to journalists, Baldwin said the film " documents the routine and

horrific abuses that animals raised and killed for food endure and makes the

case for Americans to adopt a vegetarian diet and enact humane legislation

to weed out the worst abuses. "

 

" Animals on factory farms are never allowed to do anything that is natural

to them - breathe fresh air or feel the grass beneath their feet or the sun

on their faces. Any kind person would be appalled at their current living

and dying conditions, " he wrote.

 

Baldwin has previously narrated the fictional comedy " The Royal Tenenbaums "

and the TV specials " Walking with Cavemen " and " Into the Shadows: The CIA in

Hollywood. "
