this show is a great advert for PETA

forget silly attention-grabbing stunts with naked chicks, just direct people to watch this show, and see how farm animals are routinely treated, from DIY castration (i.e., put a rubber band around them till they die and fall off), to dehorning (think cat declawing)...and that's long before the animals come anywhere near a slaughterhouse, this is how they're treated by people whose livelihoods depend on them, so you'd think they'd care at least a little about their care...I doubt an animal who's been stressed and suffered pain in its life tastes very good

...and if this is how things are done on small farms (perhaps only a few dozen animals), can you even imagine how cruelly they're done on large ranches/factory farms, where they have thousands and thousands of animals to deal with?

and I say again, to think, this is what they (the clients, the vets, the producers, and the network) LET YOU SEE! so they obviously don't have a problem with it being known that this is what they do, and no one thinks there'll be much of a backlash, so what horrors happen when there aren't cameras around, or they don't sign the release to be shown on TV?
