This documentary shows the routine practices of factory farms and slaughterhouses and explores the conditions endured by animals who are raised for meat, eggs, and milk. All the footage was obtained through investigations at U.S. factory farms and slaughterhouses in recent years.
“Meet Your Meat” makes a compelling case that the factory-farming mindset—producing the most “product” (meat, milk, or eggs) with the smallest investment (time, money, etc.)—is responsible for routine cruelty to animals, such as confining them to spaces that prevent free movement and proper hygiene, inflicting mutilations without the use of painkillers, breeding animals for quick growth or production as opposed to optimal health, prematurely separating mothers and their young, rough handling, and slaughtering fully conscious animals.
