I didn't expect that I actually finished watching this film, not because of my curiosity about the truth. For people living in the vast information world, about the behavior of human beings to make huge profits from animals, even if I know less than the details in the film, it will always be Knowing a thing or two, I decided to watch it just because I wanted to know if I still had the least amount of love.
