Have seen something like this before. Truly terrible.

[Jayhmmz]

I haven't even played this video. I seen the freeze frame, and thought to myself:

*Not for me.*

Ha! Oh my.

[HamadaLFC8]

Ive seen videos like this too but this is the worst I've ever seen

This is almost as bad as Fernando Torres is in the box!

p.s. I have scored the same amount of goals for Chelsea as Fernando Torres has scored; does that make me worth £80m?

When I got done watching this video....I was shaking and I almost cried.

[Saph]

Now you know why I'm a vegetarian, and have been for years people.

[Jayhmmz]

I don't think being a vegetarian would solve anything.
I mean eating other animals is a part of life.
But the way they treat, mangle, kill, and cage all those animals is just unacceptable.

This.

Using animals as a food source, either directly (meat) or indirectly (eggs) has just been the way of life for as far back as time goes.
At the end of the day though, it depends on your conscience and personal preference.

[Echo]

Maybe if the animals were treated like they should be, free to graze in an open field, and when their time comes, use a-non painful way of killing them to get there meat.
Not lining them up on a cramped up conveyer belt that forcefully brings them to a saw blade that cuts open their necks while there fully aware of it, ore stomping on there faces until they die because their sick.

Seen videos like this before...

makes me want to become vegetarian again... or at the very least buy exclusively local meats and dairies.

Capitalism breeds some ****ed up things

I mean, these things have been going on forever, unfortunately. A lot of people are pushing to get these things to be less horrifyingly cruel.

I, too, agree that eating animals is not necessarily the issue - but if you're going to kill something, it must be done in a "humane" manner. There are places that actively raise animals differently (i.e. living outdoors, in the sunshine, and not being brutally beaten and killed) and I suggest that you seek them out.

I don't understand how the workers can do this to living, breathing creatures. People are disgusting.

[Echo]

Unfortunately for me I've never seen anything like this.

[Ilyich Valken]

I was only able to skip through some of it.. I knew a good portion of what goes on, but it still disgusts me, and I couldn't bear to watch it. And I'm not usually one to be grossed out easily.

[Muffincat]

I've seen a lot of videos like this before (or videos from like china with cats and dogs shoved into cages for fur trade or whatever), and it still brought me close to tears. It makes me so disappointed in humanity. Wtf is wrong with us. ._.

How could you do things like this to anything ._.

It's all about money, people have a high demand for productivity of meat so manufactures find easy, cheap ways on getting stuff like this.
Unfortunately the easy and cheapest way to do this is slaughter and mistreatment of animals who in many ways are just like us.

[Synge]

Made it a little over a minute into the vid. Was too much when the man started smashing the piglet into the concrete..

I agree with these points, it's not eating the animals that is the issue, but how they're treated beforehand.

This is why we hunt our own meat. and have own pigs.

I also saw this documentary, food inc. It was really terrible.
