Great film. There will be a huge price to pay if factory farms continue to operate. To those corporate boneheads at the likes of Smithfields won't be able to enjoy their riches if they are sick as a result of eating from a sick system. Maybe some of them are smart enough though to know that their own pig slop isn't good for them and they eat better quality=organic, free range.
What a great documentary! Very concisely links the Corporate world, global trade and the Central Bankers together while demonstrating the effects they are having on indigenous populations everywhere.
This was just what I needed for that final push to move the last of my dollars out of that system. Thank you.
Personally I can completely care less about the treatment of animals with regards to anything other than what makes them nutritious/edible/safe, such as ethical treatment.
Everything else is very important though, for both the environment, and our own well-being (to which the environment is just an extension of anyway).
Nature kills millions of animals regularly on it's own in very cruel methods. A pig in a cage is no different than a suffocating fish or tortured rodent
@flake452 I'm personally glad. Do people still need to hear about pig suffering? Do they still not know about it? There's already all sorts of documentation - movies, pictures, literature - that covers this stuff, and I don't know why the point would need to be mentioned, it's flogging a dead horse.
Not only that, but as i mentioned, I'm not even necessarily a fan of ethical pig treatment. However when you're running small farms, you're generally not going to have horribly treated pigs though.
I read elsewhere about this documentary's terrible struggle with Britain's anti-libel laws. Thanks for putting it out here for us to see; I'm very sorry to know that after all your work, you didn't get a chance to get a very public viewing. I grew up in America's 2nd-largest livestock producing county (a very rural area of Iowa) and can attest to the omnipresent stench and ugliness that these businesses bring to the landscape.
We need to stop supporting this! Stop buying mass-produced junk and support local folks trying to make money doing what they do best. You do not matter to multinationals, but your money does! They will change or go broke, once the billions stop rolling in.
Me neither... I don't want to support ANY animal "agriculture"... Plenty great things to eat instead of beings killed on my behalf. Still this film exposes many truths people need to be informed of!
While I appreciate the message, many documentaries such as this are hurt by too much commentary. Sure, all documentaries are built around a central viewpoint that must in some way be voiced, but if documentaries want to be a serious form of social commentary, they must find real world examples of our struggles and let the story talk for itself. A good example of this that I saw recently was 'The Garden'. Even a few of Michael Moore's did a better job in this regard.
Looks like I'm one of the few who stuck it out through this whole series, because this is a subject that interests me greatly.
She's absolutely right about the 'true cost' of factory farming. It's far more expensive in the long run than a few cents or even as much as a buck or two more per pound. You get to vote three times a day. You can change this destruction.

I liked the documentary as a whole, I just feel like it did not show enough about the suffering of the pigs.

Never believe any company that is being questioned about health,safety or environmental issues.....They care about nothing but Profit at any cost .
Protest through Boycott, it's the only thing these two legged pigs understand.
