between animal rights advocates and medical researchers and restaurant operators, and internal disagreements within the animal rights movement between the animal shelter operators and the confrontationalists who demonstrate outside homes of corporate opponents. Recognition On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 91% score based on 35 reviews with an average rating of 7.60/10. The site's critical consensus states "[Your Mommy Kills Animals is a] thoroughly fascinating, well-presented examination of the animal rights debate that is both provocative and thought-provoking". Variety reviewer John Anderson called the documentary "A miraculously evenhanded treatment of a snarlingly divisive debate," adding "There are no good guys or bad guys in this propulsive film, but there's enough in the way of odd characters and bad behavior to amuse and inform auds who only marginally care about the content."

She noted that both these organizations declined to be interviewed by the filmmakers, and that the film concentrated on the grass-roots level as a "documentary for thinkers that offers dense and comprehensive representation
