Meet Your Meat DVD VIDEO DOCUMENTARY vegan vegetarian animal suffering film PETA Type: Movie Platform: DVD Publisher: PETA Media: DVD The purpose of factory farms is to produce the most meat, milk, and eggs using the least amount of space, time, and money. The animals suffer the consequences of these shortcuts. They endure mutilation—chicks have their beaks burned off, cattle and pigs are castrated, cattle are dehorned and branded—all without any painkillers. Some, such as veal calves and mother pigs, are kept in lonely isolation, while others, such as chickens, are crowded so closely together that they can barely move. Factory farmers restrict animals' movement not only to save space, but also so that all their energy goes toward producing flesh, eggs, or milk for human consumption. They spend their lives confined to concrete stalls and metal cages, terrified and suffering in such unnatural conditions. Their fear and pain end only after they have been driven, through all weather extremes and without food or water, to the mechanized butchery of today's slaughterhouse, where millions of animals each year are skinned and dismembered while still conscious.
