Cowspirasy By Keegan Kuhn: Film Analysis
Cowspirasy is a documentary made by environmentalist Kip Anderson and award-wining documentary filmmaker Keegan Kuhn. Released June 26, 2014 in Los Angeles, California the documentary follows Kip on a journey to find the answer of what was causing climate change, only to figure out that the answer was in plain sight.

This is just amazing that animal agriculture is responsible for all of these environmental problems. Just think that all of these problems will be resolved if there was no agriculture. If only people can come to terms of what this will do to help the planet. With the pathos and logos come to a close, it is now to talk about
