i think most of you guys are missing the underlying point in the documentary.. it isn't about how much of these animals were processing and consuming, but rather the way in which were processing them at all.
do you really want cruelly treated, weakened, and unnaturally cultured foods and goods going down your digestive tract? eventually this will have aversive effects, as any of you would have seen if you watched it - mad cow disease, heart disease, etc. etc. the list goes on.
yes, eventually the animal/mammal in question will be slaughtered for food, as some of you have noted. but does that mean it has to be done in an inhumane and cruel manner, even if slightly more cost efficient? my understanding is most people nowadays wouldn't think twice before paying for a higher grade of food for the benefit of their own god forsaken health. in the end, its the careful and compassionate treatment of the very food we consume thats the central message.

As can be expected with anything where content is provided by PETA, there's a lot of BS in this video.
PETA's favorite trick is to find some footage of animals being abused and then paint the entire industry with the same brush.
I grew up on a farm and have seen slaughterhouses and nothing I've seen compares to this video. Of course, since they have "video proof" then these events obviously happened. But I like how they don't provide any information whatsoever as to their sources. Which farms were these? Which slaughterhouses? Why don't they name names? I'll tell you why: Because I bet a lot of this footage isn't even from Canada or the US.
Here's another fact they portray that's completely wrong: the idea that because farmers & producers want maximum profit that they overcrowd and abuse their animals in the name of profit.
The fact is that overcrowded and stressed animals make the farmer less money. The "quality" of the animal isn't as good and the "quality" of the animal before it gets slaughtered is what determines profit.
It sounds strange to say that a farmer who is going to ultimately see their livestock butchered is going to treat that livestock "well", but it's the truth. Healthy animals make big profits. Sick, stressed animals don't. What farmers will try is to find a balance where they can keep the animals healthy (and profitable) while increasing production. They don't simply use the model that "the more the better" (meaning, overcrowding to get the highest number of animals).

Post above me hits the nail on the head, and is why I understand the topic, and also did not watch the movie "PETA's favorite trick is to find some footage of animals being abused and then paint the entire industry with the same brush." "I grew up on a farm and have seen slaughterhouses and nothing I've seen compares to this video. Of course, since they have "video proof" then these events obviously happened.

do you have any idea of the way nature works? how it all balances itself? pick up a book, kid. hell, use some god damned common sense even.
most edible vegetation replenishes annually.
hmmm. alright. sounds like you're doing some thinking again.
humans are a single species. birds are not. they are a family of thousands upon thousands of different species.
lol
how so? oh yeah. i forgot. cows are gonna breed like wildfire.

@Welfare, lol wut? | HAHAHHA thanks for proving my point with your ignorance.
your comments/ideas are based on someone else's interpretation, so you're just basically paraphrasing
"food" is only 1 of 5 parts in the movie, so using simple ratios, your IQ is probably 20% of a normal person
thanks for making me laugh
ps. i don't think you are ignorant, just your ideas

quantity>quality. fact is, people sacrifice quality for cost. a higher quantity equals a lower cost to the retailer. the retailer assumes the average consumer can't tell the difference, and for the most part, is correct. unfortunately, it's the tune that's played to a lot of things in the world these days. look around you and you'll see what i'm saying is true Quote:
