I toured a slaughterhouse in S. Dakota along with my Dad, one of his friends and his son who was my age. It was a sobering experience, not to the point of becoming vegan/vegetarian, but to awareness.

Sometimes shock is the only way to infuse empathy into some people.

So, thank you for posting this! 🙏

Can you take it a step further by becoming vegan? Even all diary cows will eventually be killed, like the animals in the video.

I am kind of late to the party as far as veganism goes. But I am in the process. I fell off the wagon of vegetarianism too for a while, that is why I sought out videos to help me along. I know dairy cows are killed when they stop producing, male dairy cows are often killed as babies or sold as beef cattle, male baby chicks are pulverized.

long ago, lactose problems with cheese and milk. The last flesh was fish. Gave up eggs last.

But this is basically why I am vegetarian.
I became vegan in 2003 after watching "Meat is murder". Could not pull that off so became vegetarian w/o factory-farmed eggs in the mix. Fell off the wagon a few times but always came back and am there to stay. Will try the vegan route someday.

Human cruelty knows no bounds when pushback is less likely. It is true of the elderly, disabled, poor etc. and above all of farm animals. I am shocked at the sheer scale of cruelty this sub-set of life-forms endures sans any protections. It is absurdly illogical.
