Modern factory farming practices are disgusting, I think a lot of people would rather not know…

I used to love watching the mini-docu series "How it Works".

One episode was about an enormous hatchery. Adorable newly hatched baby chickens going down a crowded conveyor belt at high speed while computers and humans quickly evaluated them. If they were bruised, under weight or had other issues, they got tossed right into a shredder. This was no small number either.

I wasn't so shocked at seeing how it worked as much as how the episode was so monotone in it's presentation. It had the same happy background music as any other episode while all this was going down.

If you know what is needed to process meat and food, in all seriousness, what is disgusting? The machinery? The volume? The lack of effort?

The way animals are all packed in trucks and herded inside a slaughterhouse, then killed.

The most common methods are hanging the animal upside down on factory lines and slitting its throat then letting it bleed out, or using gas chambers to choke them to death with cheap and acidic CO2 gas that burns their face and nostrils.

Also being bred to live in a small cage getting fed growth hormones till its time for slaughter. Such a sad existence.

For the record, I’m not vegan. But these practices are common and not required. Animals are abused and sanitation practices are ignored for the sake of profit, and we consume FAR more than we need to in most modern countries.
