MEET YOUR MEAT
[You might need to use Internet Explorer to view this video on MySpace. If you are using Firefox click here to watch the video.]

Much of this video was filmed at a small family slaughterhouse in Massachusetts. Everything shown in Meet Your Meat is standard agricultural practice [SAP]. Some is even better. There are no laws to protect birds at any stage of meat or egg production, and the only law that covers mammals is the Humane Slaughter Act, which is barely enforced and usually only covers things that are not considered SAP. There are no isolated cases in the Meet Your Meat video. The reason this persists is, in part, because people refuse to believe it. The cruelty and killing will not stop unless we stop supporting it. Commercial meat, egg, and dairy production are done for profit, just like any other business, so as long as a practice increases profits, it will be done, regardless of the impact on the animals. You can try to deny what goes on or justify supporting it--or believe that you are not supporting it--but the reality is that eating meat, eggs, and dairy does support what you see in the video.
