Here is a documentary that exposes the reality of how humans are treating animals in corporate factory farms, slaughter houses, and in the fur industry. It is shocking and horrific on a level that you can't imagine, and I do not believe that I am being over-dramatic. It is by far the most shocking documentary that I have ever seen, and really sheds light on the reality of where the majority of animal products come from, and how these animals are treated. They use undercover camera footage to take you places you never thought existed.
This film largely eludes to the reality of corporate america, implicitly, because the reasons animals are treated like this, is because of corporate greed, and the need for efficiency to maximize prouction and product output by using economies of scale for... profit. bottom Line. That is all these corporations are about, and will do anything to get it. The quest for profit isn't inherently evil, I am not criticizing capitalism, as a concept. But, in practice, humans are willing to do immoral things to get profit, enabled by the corporate layout, which makes accountability almost impossible for the things that go down, and that is the main problem, and is why corporations are able to do the most atrocious things: no one is really liable. The incentive is simply to maximize shareholder profit. Without a moral system in place to guide them, they run wild. The people in these corporations, situated in office buildings in urban centers, are so far removed from these what they are voting for in boardroom meetings to increase profits to shareholders. Therefore, they can do what they want, until somebody tries to stop them, and they push the envelope as much as possible. The corporations hide the truths of how they treat these animals from the consumer, because they know that if the consumers knew about what happens to their meat before it is killed, and the conditions that these animals live in... they would no longer have a viable market, because there would no longer be demand. People would demand humane treatment, and they would be forced to change their ways or go out of business. It is only through consumer ignorance that this mass suffering is extended and maintained. We are giving them our dollar to continue their operation. Yet, no one wants to see what is going on, and they sell us the idea that they are 'good,' with pictures of pastures and wholesome names, and with it is derived the idea that the animals are treated well. That part, we make up and convince ourselves us, I believe, until we are shown the truth. They sell us a lie, plain and simple, in so many ways, and everying is all good, allowing the purchaser to walk away, conscience free. This film pretty much makes it clear and simple. It is painful as hell to watch, but it probably the most important film you will ever see. Please, have the courage to watch this film, and tell others. We must stop these corporations by discontinuing to give them our dollar. That is the only power we have as a consumer. Buy local and organic meats and dairy. Go vegetarian, go vegan, whatever it takes and whatever you are comfortable with... just don't give money to these corporate factory farms and those that supply furs, leather jackets.... This film makes no suggestions as to what action to take. It never says you should go vegan or vegetarian. It is simply information about what is out there. Use with it what you will, but at least, be informed, to then be able to make better decisions.
