The videos that I watched made me a little bit more understanding towards vegans. The way in which these animals are slaughtered is even more shocking to view on video than to read about in an essay. The fact that these animals are no longer viewed as forms of life must change, but I think it is the public's lack of information that is mostly to blame for the continuation of such atrosities. I think that the only way we can reverse what is happening in the factory farming industry is to educate the masses about what is happening. The demand for food has surely increased as we Americans have become more greedy in almost every aspect of life, and with this increase in demand comes the oppurtunity to expoit it for cash. Without clear-cut regulations on how animals must be raised, it becomes a race for the cheapest and fastest means of producing animals, which makes this industry ever more unhealthy for the animals involved. Animal rights are no joke, but our government seems to think so, and the slaughtering industry isn't going to do anything to change that.
