in any supermarket the vast majority of
the meat
on sale is going to be colored from a
factory farm animals are treated as
objects rather than individuals and
farms
seen and filmed animals being treated in
the most awful ways people punching
their old parts in the face because
they're frustrated that they want food
from a bottle
cooking animals in the head spraying
markers throw up their noses beating
them with the touch fork
i'm an investigator working for various
animal rights groups
to investigate the conditions on factory
farms
i've been doing this for about 25 years
now
and over those years i've been to about
a thousand farms
it's mostly in the uk and europe also
just a few in north america and asia
i think to the average person it would
be really shocking to go inside a
factory farm
but one of the big things is no matter
how much footage we take how much for
all my photos for half of hatchery farms
the first thing that really hits you is
the snow that
it impregnates everything that all your
clothes all the equipment
that stays in you in your nose for those
afterwards
and then there's just the filth
everywhere and just
and cobwebs and
nothing like the 2d adverts
of how animals occurred i don't think
the
big rk companies fear us as individuals
but
they definitely fear exposure and bad
publicity
ultimately just money for them losing
sales
so many of these farms that the animals
are just so crowded that
it's often hard to walk through them you
have to go really slow and take
one step at a time because they're
covering all the floor space
and there's nowhere else to go they're
just
living on their own ship 24 hours a day
i think it's hard to ask about how many
factory funds there are in the
uk alone we farm until
one billion syrians a year even with
labels like
free range and organic we still find
a lot of abuse and problems in those
farms
and one of the things you always come up
against his people saying that
they only buy local meat or meat that's
gone from a local farm
but the fact is that every farmer is
investigated
with animals being abused in is local to
someone
these farms in every country
across the country and working on
factory farms is is difficult work
done to social hours long hours in the
dirty dusty conditions that
leads to neglect and a lot of compassion
to keep in the workers
you don't know what you're going to be
doing until you start and in fact
some of the best cutoffs have had have
been
from people who have gone along through
interviews or gone launchers on and just
managed to last
a few days or a week and been so
horrified by what they said that this
quote and and told us what's going on
there's
never enough time to look after
individuals
and that leads to workers being in a
rush and taking out
their exasperation on animals that won't
lose
or won't do things the way the worker
wants them to do
they're never treated as individual
beings with their own feelings they're
just
things the worst uh
factory farmer i've been to and filmed
that was a trick farm pigs make eye
contact with you
and they won the animals that shows
genuine fear
you've never experienced a lot of died
from humans
pigs in the uk will be routinely their
tails cut off and their teeth cut down
without anesthetic
and then just left and as they're
putting on weight just left in terms the
jobs definitely had
you know a big effect on the manifesting
other aspects of your life really become
a lot
more anti-social and don't really like
to nurture too many people
on under the first time
i went into slaughterhouser
as an adult i had proper night terrors
afterwards
i had to sleep with a lifetime but over
time it all just becomes
normal you know you can go into a farm
and
see animals in these terrible conditions
and it's just like oh yeah well that's
just how it always is
it doesn't affect you and i don't know
whether that's more worrying
i've seen a lot of bad things in the
different forms of binti but
i struggle most of these things that i
haven't done
so the animals that were filmed and
you know clearly in in tone and
distress and going to die
a horrible duster i just took a photo
and then walked away and left them and
something
you'd never do if you saw a dog like
that on the street but
somehow it's different when you're in
the factory farm
because the numbers are so big that you
don't know where to start
but some of those have been animals that
you've seen at a distance that you just
assume a dog
and then when you walk up and get close
you realize they're still alive and
despite overlapping everything that
they're still struggling to live
and i don't think i can ever forgive
myself for walking away from them
