Blog #4 - From Farm To Fridge

First off, I couldn't finish watching the video. As soon as it started it went straight to the killing and brutal beating of chickens. The vieo "From Farm To Fridge" explains in a very detailed manner the disasters that happen in slaughterhouses. Today, very few are oblivious and don't know the horrifying treatments animals go through in factory farms. Animals such as chickens are brutally beat by food company workers, ways in which they are slammed into the ground, their bodies ripped apart, and put into crammed cages resting in their own waste. This all happens while the animals are still alive and conscious. In the video, it shows the living conditions of the animals, which were hens, chicks, cows, an pigs. They barely have any space to move around, some are starved or over fed, and as I said before, they rest in their own waste which causes them to be severely ill.
     This video is very helpful for our LIB110 video projects. Being able to see the conditions animals face in factory farms gives a whole different outlook rather than reading about it. This video can help me collect ideas based on how the animals are treated and what are in the foods that we eat and to inform people the truth behind our meat consumptions. Most people need to be able to see the way the factory farms regulate in order to get a "feel" of how the animals are treated. Reading can be helpful, but may not cause much of an impact. As for myself, after watching this video changed my whole perspective on how I think of the foods I eat.
