Meet Your Meat

These are some of the Animal Cruelty from the video 'Meet Your Meat' :

1. Chickens
- Slammed into small crates and trucked to the slaughterhouse through all weather extreme.
- At the slaughterhouse,their legs are snapped into shackles, their throats are cut, and they are immersed in scalding hot water to remove their feathers.

2.Cattle
- Transported hundreds of miles in all weather extremes to the slaughterhouse.
- Those who survive on the way to slaughterhouse are shot in the head with a bolt gun,hung up by their legs,and taken onto the killing floor, where their throats are cut and they are skinned.

3.Pigs
- Piglets are taken away from their mothers when they are <1 month old; their tails and some of their teeth are cut off, and the males have their testicles ripped out of their scrotums (castration), all without any pain relief.
- When the time comes for slaughter, the smart and sensitive pigs are forced onto transport trucks that travel for many miles through all weather extremes.
- Many die of heat exhaustion in the summer and arrive frozen to the inside of the truck in the winter.

4.Turkeys
- Will be killed when they are only 5 or 6 months old, and during their short lives, they will be denied even the simplest pleasures, like running, building nests, and raising their young.
- Crammed into filthy sheds after their beaks and toes are burned off with a hot blade.
- When the time comes for slaughter, they are thrown into transport trucks, and when they arrive at the slaughterhouse, their throats are cut and their feathers burned off,often while they are still fully conscious.

5.Fish
- Farmed fish will spend their entire lives crammed together, constantly bumping against each other and the sides of their grossly overcrowded cage.
- Conditions on some farms are so horrendous that 40 percent of the fish may die before farmers can kill and package them for food.

After watching this video,I realise that there are many people who are inhumane.They are so cruel to animals by killing them with different type of methods.Hence, we should not follow the way they did as it is strongly discouraged.We should cut down the amount of meat we consume too.
