Industrial Food (F8)

While watching the video Animal Cruelty, I was really disturbed. The animals were treated horrifically, their throats being slit while they are still alive, beaks being cut off, being kept in horrible conditions. It seemed as though the people were simply going through the actions as they brutally killed or tortured the animals. I would often have to look away because it was too disturbing, but I would continue to hear the sounds of cows or pigs crying.
After the video, a few people around me proclaimed that they want to stop eating meat because of the video. Although I think I was just as affected by the video, I also think it's difficult for someone to say that they will entirely change their eating habits because of it. I think eating meat is a natural thing, as it's something many animals do. However, what I do not think is natural is how the humans involved in these slaughter houses seem more interested in torturing the animal than using it for food. It seems that with industrial food, it's become more about torture and money and excess than the basic necessity of some kinds of food. I think humans are very greedy and selfish and that has what led to them being capable of such disgusting things. I think if we didn't view ourselves and so superior to other animals, and saw it more about respecting other animals that we need to help us survive, it coud be much more moral.
