Yup, I've watched similar documentaries before. The meat industry is pretty fucked up, unfortunately the same is true about the fur industry and the drug industry. The have to use the cheapest ways possible to keep prices low, and to them the benjamins are worth much more than the lives of billions of animals. By the way, most of the workers in this video (and in the food industry in general) are illegal immigrants working for pathetic salaries. In a way, I feel almost as bad for the workers as I do for the animals.

For the last 2 years I've been buying my meat at local farmers' markets. All of the animals live full, normal lives and are slaughtered in a humane manner using hands, not machines. The prices are obviously much more expensive than buying meat at Walmart, but it's for a good cause. I urge everyone here who has the means to find local farmers' markets in their areas and buy their meat from there.
