I grew up with meat at every meal. My dad was a hunter and dinner consisted of many odd meats. Even though I hunted, skinned and gutted many critters in my youth I somehow grew to despise most meats. I have no idea when or why this happened but I never eat beef and rarely eat any other land meat. I love fish but with all the fish farming and chemicals that are at "approved" levels in our waters, even that is becoming a issue .I was at a point where I would eat poultry and pork but it could not in anyway resemble meat, no large pieces, no skin, no fat or grilse. Even that is going to be VERY difficult for awhile. Its not just the cruelty, the conditions that the animals are kept in is disgusting. The filth, disease, chemicals etc just hammer in the idea of meat not being food. If we are going to continue eating meat we need to at least stop the factory farming idea.
This film had me broken in just a few minutes. Its not just that we slaughter animals, its the way in which some maniacs do the slaughtering. Playing chicken baseball, stomp the chicken, peal the skin of the live fox, or any of the other psycho games these people play, should be punishable in the same way as a human crime. People get desensitized in their jobs and they begin to not be affected by their service they are hired to do. Police, employees at the welfare office, politicians, butchers etc etc. If you are in one of these types of jobs you begin to no longer care, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER LINE OF WORK!
My biggest disappointment of this film is that the maniacs that were cruel are not named with their animal cruelty prison sentence following.
