I saw this clip on Buzzfeed and thought that it greatly applied to what we've been discussing in class about industrial food production. This clip is taken from the film Samsara, a documentary that was shot over nearly five years in twenty-five countries on five continents. This documentary aims to introduce various worlds of sacred grounds, disaster zones, industrial complexes, and natural wonders. This 6 minute clip showcases the industrial production of meat. We see the inhumane treatment of the animals in order to mass produce meat in factories. It really makes you think about how this form of production isn't right. Another aspect of this clip that is powerful is at the end when we see images of obesity. Clearly, this form of meat production in addition to being harmful to animals, is being harmful to humans and our health. This practice of industrial meat production needs to be changed or moved away from.
