Summary: Quite Possibly the most Eye Opening Six Minutes Ever on Film



In the first part of this video, chickens are fed into a conveyer where they are dropped into crates to transport them. Then that are sent down an assembly line where they are killed, hundreds of assembly lines cut, gut, and section the chickens into different groups.  In the next segment, cows are fed into a circular conveyer where they are milked while they feed. In the segment after, a female pig is on her side feeding piglets, the pig cannot move and has not choice put to feed the piglets. In the final segment it shows consumers at a store purchasing the meat and milk that probably came from the assembly lines in the previous segments. 

I believe that the purpose of this video was to show the average person what really goes on in slaughterhouses and what goes into getting food to the store. It also shows how unsanitary slaughterhouses are. It shows how inhumane the slaughterhouses are in their treatment of the animals. The food that was fed to these farm animals to make them grow to a size where they are harvestable, you could feed 10 times more people. The working conditions of the pig slaughterhouse were very dangerous.

While this video put into perspective the inhumane treatment of animals, the insanitary conditions, and how much the population doesn’t know about the food industry, there are many more that show a more alarming message. It shows a company that is necessary to feed society.
