Meet your Meat

I saw this video in my Environmental Ethics class and it shocked me so much that I thought you all should see it. I am not a vegetarian. I love a good steak and who can say no to bacon? We have evolved as omnivores and so our love of meat is intrinsic to us as human beings. As our society has evolved we have seen a rise in the consumption of meat (most of us eat meat at almost every meal,) and a decrease in its price. This is because we have shifted from a craft style farming method to an industrialized means of producing animals at much faster rate in morally questionable ways. Meat producers have had to make changes to meet the demand of a meat loving society and this has resulted in the has production of animals in unnatural, unhealthy and morally reprehensible ways.
Th following video was created by the P.E.T.A, (it is important to note that their goal is to shock and effect change thus only the worst cases are shown, though they still indicate readily accepted practices,) and shows how our meat industry actually functions in order to meet the demand of a country in which meat plays a significant role in our culture.  
Warning: this video is very graphic.
