Shocking


Warning - Your opinion of humanity will suffer after watching this video.  Here's a link to the article and even more disturbing slide show.

And the fact that some states are considering laws to make it a crime for an individual to seek a factory farm position with the intent of exposing such abuses is just unbelievable.

  1. It's horrible and I'm glad footage like this is available. I think every supplier should have to livestream their growing conditions so people can understand how cheap meat, eggs, and dairy products are produced. It's so cruel.

  2. And the really sad thing is that there's a large portion of the human population that couldn't care less about how their meat (and other foods) is produced. I have a hard time understanding that point of view, but I have a hard time understanding a lot of people...

    I don't watch videos like this anymore. It's just too depressing. Instead, I vote with my pocketbook by not buying factory-farmed products and by donating to organizations trying to put an end to this kind of crap.

  4. I just don't understand how anyone could treat another being that way. At times I think other people don't care where their meat comes from. I will pay 4 times as much for less meat if I know exactly where it comes from or I will raise it myself.

  5. I've just sat and cried watching this footage. At times I wondered was it real or some sick joke. Can anyone truly treat poor defenceless animals this way. Treating humans horribly I cannot understand, but to treat an animal in such a way is sickening it cannot even defend itself. What can an animal do to you to warrant such an act, it can't even insult you, it has no voice. And how can you leave any animals in such a state, dead, injured or with sheer lack of energy through dehydration. Words, there are not any in my vocabulary which can describe this!!!!
