See this if you can

This film changed my life when i saw it on channel 4 25 years ago - don't be scared..watch it and decide if we really need to make millions of animals go through this every day just so we can consume stuff. It doesn't pull its punches - farming, science, hunting, the lot. Its probably a bit ruff n ready compared to todays production techniques, but every bit as relevant now sadly. Needless consumption of factory farmed meat, replica drugs, cosmetics etc create the demand for this abuse and its still growing. I thought at the time that this film would make the difference, but it was ignored - suppose everyone prefers blissful ignorance whilst the animals scream. Well I can hear them and its all because I saw this film when I was a teenager. Please watch this - you should know what's happening in all those big sheds you drive past on days out in the country - its not nice..
