One of my uncles refused to work at a chicken factory because of this. He was raised on a farm, and was prepared to slaughter animals, but when he was shown what he was expected to do, he said he couldn't do it. It was essentially keeping chickens in very small cages 24/7 until it was time to take them out and lock their necks in a device in a long row and then someone would turn it on which caused a huge blade to cut off all the heads at once. Then the chickens were processed & packaged.

He's killed chickens before for food, but that was too much even for him. That so many people worked there scared him. And ironic given that many who worked there feared satanists killing animals in satanic rites...

This was an amazing film! I've made posts on it in the other forums and the response was similar to this one. It reminded me of the time I read Diet for a New America 12 when I was 13. Once you watch this you won't be able to live in denial about what you are eating anymore. Good thing I was planning on starting the raw food diet a few days later anyway!
