The Meatrix 2

[Kurdpride05]

How do factory farms impact the environment and human social life?

[Luthurus]

Is it simply an ignorant misconception but wouldn't supporting organic/smaller farming business eventually make it a booming business which in turn will lead them into creating chains and then those chains will look to create cost cutting sustainability so we go from A to B back to A again?

[joeyehernandez1]

That chick has nice breasts.

[janejanejane7]

Good, except you have to think before you buy things just because they say "organic, "cage free", "pasteur raised" , or "grass fed". Cage free doesn't mean shit, the chickens are still crowded together & sitting in their own feces. THINK! Our best option is to stop eating meat altogether. Yes, it can be done in a perfectly healthy way. Just be SMART about it, and make sure you take the correct vitamin supplements. It's not as hard as it seems! (Actually, it feels awesome)

[Salad360]

@janejanejane7 Its not natural for humans not to eat meat otherwise we would have been put on this earth as herbivores

[janejanejane7]

@Salad360

Wrong. You are carrying around the misinformed and sadly common viewpoint on going vegetarian. Thank you for flying the flag of ignorance!! Whether it is natural for a human to stop eating meat really all depends on your bloodtype! There is a blood type called "A" which is best suited to a vegetarian diet. For most bloodtypes that are left over from hunter-gatherer times, a little meat (not a lot) IS necessary.

[janejanejane7]

@Salad360

And please don't say we were "put on this earth" ever again, our species did not arrive in a fucking basket from a stork's beak, ok.

[Salad360]

@janejanejane7 fuck cows, fuck chickens, and fuck pigs! If you'll excuse me I think ill go eat a hamburger now.

[janejanejane7]

@Salad360

Ehh...go on then. Take the path of least resistance like a lazy-ass. Each of us are responsible for how the Earth turns out, so you're right, its much more than cows, chickens, or pigs. It's not a single issue, but a collective issue of all our futures. Sorry to rest a bit of responsibility on your shoulders there....poor, poor human just wants to act without having to face consequences! Boo hoohoo!!!!!!!

[Salad360]

@janejanejane7 For your information I'm very aware of the consequences of us continuing to slaughter and eat live-stock this way... I'm just sick of hippies trying to convince us to change our diet for Christ Sake! My family was raised on hunting deer and eating them, we raised and slaughtered our own chickens and grew our own vegetables. I'm not saying that what they're doing to animals in these factory farms is by any means moral but I just think its totally unnecessary to cut meat compl...

[MrDavidChubbs]

I EFFING LOVE THESE!!!!!!

[dragon77888]

All the hormones added to milk, and from the harmful chemicals leached from plastic bottles into the water they contain, have been proven to affect humans. They have caused many health problems, and have caused some children to reach puberty at a younger age...which is just freaky all on its own.

[Guted77]

The chickent has big tits

[climid]

Now I could spend all day debating people over eating meat but as a Scientist I know the truth: That everyone eating on earth eating meat would be wasteful, that everyone on earth eating plants would be unsustainable.

The best solution is a local, healthy diet of plant and animal matter. to all the veggies out there you may ask "how can I have meat?". heres how: Insects can be raised cheaper than steak, consume plants tougher than any other animals and have 10 times the protein per weight

[fiedag]

Reminds me of Karma County's song "Cows with Guns". Excellent.

[bouzaglo3]

but i love too eat meat

[KileSimons]

This sensationalism is stooping to the level of the few farmers that actually run such "meat factories".

[RainbowShiiz]

7 people have no hearts

[ZacksQuest]

Sadly, these hippocritical animals set their base in the middle of a damn forest... causing pollution, forcing other species out, and created the angry mob of vegan beatnicks and hippies. Thanks a lot, Moopheus, and all just to show us yet another facet of why MAN (insert crying kitten here) is evil.

Okay, that's what a troll would say. What I'M SAYING is...

OH MY GOD! This is where my meat comes from? That's it! It's time for drastic changes! McDonalds evolved into 5 Guys. Huzzah!

[sasukerucker]

@ZacksQuest hippocritical? lol XD hypocritical ...unless you were just playing

[sliherflare]

sorry trix is for human kids only

[INEEDZALL]

This looks like something you could show in schools.

[RainbowShiiz]

@INEEDZALL lol they DO show it in schools :P

[snake2006]

Screw this. I will continue to support the Meatrix.

[epicichigo2461]

watched this is schoool today was so stupid

[kchachi5647]

This whole video series is bullshit. Especially the blood part. That isn't even legal in the US. And feeding blood back to ruminant animals would make them too sick and dangerous to slaughter and feed humans. So that and the Mad Cow thing are completely false. And NO feedlot or dairy is that unsanitary or cruel to the animals. If milking was so horrible, the cows would not just stand there and take it. A dairy this bad would be shut down fast. Meatrix SERIOUSLY needs to get their facts straight.

[Haleigh9483]

@kchachi5647 ummm you are soooooo wrong lol another PERFECT example of people making themselfs feel better about the cruelty they are supporting you SERIOUSLY need to get you facts strait dumbass

[kchachi5647]

@Haleigh9483 I've got my facts straight. I'm an animal science major with an agricultural background and have been EDUCATED on where our food actually comes from. Everything in my comment is true. I've been to a dairy and a feedlot, and the animals are not mistreated. There are codes to follow when running such a facility, and like I said, if the animals were actually treated like this, it would not be healthy for humans to consume these products.

[lordoafm]

@kchachi5647

and it isn't healthy in the least, if not just from the hormones alone.

have you only been to one? what about all the others you haven't seen? what about how they treat the animals when you're not there?

if you're still in school for this then you honestly have next to no idea how a dairy farm or any place actually runs things long term, simply because you haven't been there that long.

nobody follows ALL the rules, have you ever rolled a stop sign?

[Afereth]

@lordoafm exactly but these once in a while you or someone rolls a stop sign. But not everybody does. And not all the time. So get over it...

[Mishyana]

@kchachi5647 I can't help but notice that there seem to be a large swath of people who are opposed to these videos who just happen to be "animal science majors with an agricultural background". Awful lot of animal science majors who were raised on mom n' pop farms lurking about on youtube these days...

[ssBraveman]

MOOPHeus gets so owned...

[timmyisthefly]

Respond to this video... erm his names actually NEO not leo...

[sbaker127]

hahaha i love animal cruelty

[Itookthelaw]

@sbaker127 I love you this is the best comment I have seen for awhile

[AntiPsychopath]

@sbaker127 .......You should meet me then, because i love human cruelty.

[Radothehorse]

Lol, go actually visit a dairy factory. It's nothing like this in the least.

[Haleigh9483]

@Radothehorse dairy factories that actually let you visit are trying to portray a good image in your head real factory farms are basically underground and their workers consist of 84% unregistered illlegal immagrants this was a study actully done and not just a conclusion some half witted moron comes up with

[qurra2]

Waitwat?

[69gaydogs]

that chickon has big tits

[toftheglider]

this is so inhumane. i am disgusted.

[artluvr007]

@toftheglider the sad thing is that its the truth

[toftheglider]

@artluvr007 i know, thats the worst part about it. people say to stop eating meat is not normal, but this is NOT a normal situation

[JbRULESforLIFE]

@artluvr007

Init But We Need To Eat

[sewagedweller]

or you can just buy soy milk and screw the family farms

[UmbreonAndEspeon1]

@sewagedweller SCREW THE FAMILY FARMS, I HAVE TOFU.

[HessenDragoon]

I wish those animals were real so I could kill them and eat them.

[nclusiau]

@HessenDragoon Kill kill kill, isn't what usa is all about.

[HessenDragoon]

@nclusiau But animals are so much harder to eat when they're alive.

[JbRULESforLIFE]

@HessenDragoon

Soo Truee Lool!!,what else are we gonna do if we dont kill em lol

[zpitbull101]

eeeeeewy ever sice ive watched this i cant eat meat

[gothxdude10]

food is food idc whare it comes from

[venom1dark]

@gothxdude10 if u can eat anything will u eat cow shitt.......

[mbloom01]

Anyone who does any research into how U.S. meat is produced and why certain practices are used needs to actually visit a REAL, working farm and ask them questions. Size doesn't make a lot of difference. You have to understand that farmers (large and small) don't make a profit if they don't care for their animals.

[listert2595]

i think one of the main problams is organic costs to much and so no one bothers to buy it

[LifeRegenRevolution]

I must say, the pig actually looks like Neo at some points.

Neo: "That does it!" ...*steps on rakes and then crashes*

Chickety: "Are you sure he's the One...?" LMAO. XD

[climid]

one thing to point out to people twho don drink milk because of the hormones:

90% of the soy milk in the USA is Genetically modified. the company (monsento) is the same that makes the cow hormones. therefore its best to just drink milk thats certified as hormone free than to switch to soy to encourage healthy milk.

[LindseyAnne]

@climid Where did you get that statistic?! I think maybe you mean 90% of soy *crops* in general are GMO, but most of that is fed to animals for meat and milk. All the soy milk I buy clearly says NON-GMO soy in the ingredients. Or if you buy organic anything, it can never be GMO. Plus it's not necessary to drink any kind of milk. But there is also rice, hemp, oat, almond, coconut and hazelnut milk available.

[G0D666]

@climid or you could avoid torturing animals all together

and turn to other milk alternatives such as almond, rice, and hemp

[climid]

@G0D666 how is getting milk from free range cows cruel? here in canada we have laws against hormone in milk and our climate is well suited for bovines (we had bison). not sure about regulations in the states.

even then, Almond milk, rice and hemp are crops growing in other countries, when considering if these are "green", remember the fossil fuels that must be burned to carry the goods.

[G0D666]

@climid cows are artificially inseminated (a nice word for raped) and are torn from their calves very soon after they endure painful birth. No epidurals here. "Free range" is also a nice term for "not kept in individual cells", unless you're buying your milk from that family that has ol' Bessy living in the barn. Although hormones are cruel to both people and cows, that isn't the chief reason why we as vegans protest the enslavement of cows to steal the milk from their calves. (con'td next)

[G0D666]

@climid And in response to the crops being grown in other countries, that doesn't necessarily have to be true. And the same amount of fossil fuel is being burned shipping milk around as almonds or hemp. Also that's a poor argument considering the main point is to stop cruelty to animals. Despite the fact that environmentalism is a powerful portion of veganism, it is still chiefly about animal rights. If you would like to continue this, please message me.

[Verwey18]

@climid THANK-YOU. We have a fairly large dairy farm here in canada and the thought has never crossed my mind to use any of these drugs on our cattle. I mean people need to realize that there are so many regulations and laws against using hormones/antibiotics. And as far as the feeding our calves blood? The very first drink of milk they have from thier mother (clostrum) has blood in it. And that is Completly natural. Once again thanks for pointing out that this is not the truth.

[bluejayrules]

Im sure they are making it all up dont even get me started ok i know how city folk think about meat and milk but serioulslly im sure they dont know half the things that are going on out there they are just relying on an internet to tell them what is true...my family milks cows and we get a milk truck to pick our milk up and then it gets sent to get made up into cheese...so if you want to argue with me about farming bring it on..come out to my farm and youll see nothing like this is happeneing

[ctvwr]

Ok, what does that have to do with a discussion about the overarching system of food production?

[automatonsleuth]

Which is why 3:48 and a little bit onwards applies to you.

[whipdoctor]

This is about factory farms not family farms. Most family farms (like the one I grew up on) do not use hormones like corporate farms and there is usually no animal cruelty. Only about 10% of our mild and cheese come from FAMILY farms unfortunetely. Just visit a corporate farm and try to get in...especially coporate chicken farms!

[IvoryCopeland]

@bluejayrules I think you just made their point. What your family does sounds great, but this video seems to be trying to point out the disconnect between smaller sustainably run practices and the corporate-run entities that supply milk/cheese to most of the country.  I don't get the feeling that they are knocking family farms at all. How big is your family's farm?

[bluejayrules]

@IvoryCopeland- How did I just make their point? It starts off with a family farm...then they say this is how real dairy farm used to be then they start showing a dirty barn full of sick cows. They go onto say a modern day dairy factory- i dont know about you but I've never seen a factory in my entire life and for one to be run like that...is not even right...artificial hormones thats like a sports player on roids! Its wrong and milk replacer made from cows blood that not even true!

[bluejayrules]

@IvoryCopeland 45 cows- First of all no farm would ever be operated like that. Second giving them hormones is like a sports player taking roids, its wrong its so not true I don't know why you believe all this. Third milk re placer from cows blood that's not even true! Check ingredients on milk re placer bags. Fourth, Mad Cow disease doesn't work like that, its similar to that but they are overreacting. I just can't believe people are believing this.

[nerdluvr4eva]

@bluejayrules I know that you may think that and there are still many farms like the one your family has but this is where most of the meat and milks come from. They use it for restraunts like mcdonalds. And im not sure about the milk re placer but everying else is true search another video for factory farms its all real.

[soapboxgirl33]

lol

this so coool but true!!!

[Scunnybabe100]

we watched this at school in geography it was cool

[bluejayrules]

this is all bull shit! i work on a family farm and there is nothing going on as bad as this..they are just showing u this so u can believe it and you guys are believing it..95% of meat does not come from factory farms that full of crap i cant belive u think meat comes from there..no calves were ever fed blood from other cows which they call milk replacer..no cow spends there whole life there this is all bull shit!

[Ramel34]

These are factories not farms.

[CatCommunication]

Yeah yeah yeah.

I'm sure they're just making it allllll up. I guess the guy who wrote Fast Food Nation didn't do years of research, and he's lying about the places he visited too, right?

[vegan114]

their tails are cut off? I never heard or seen this before?

[PufferBluntman]

So nobody would have to clean shit from those tails, I guess.

[Yaiyo]

So, why are the cows' tails cut off?

[robfbms]

Bah! Advicing to BAN all animal-sourced food would be extremely fairer and more ethic. Animals need freedom, not a "better care" for permanent exploitation.

[robfbms]

"There are still several family farms when you can get your dairy. By supporting'em, you help end the Meatrix."

Bah! Advicing to BAN all animal-sourced food would be extremely fairer and more ethic. Animals need freedom, not a "better care" for permanent exploitation.

[yogicwaves]

95% of the meat we get are from factory farms. =(

"H. Sapiens are not obligate omnivores but specialized frugivores." - Incorrect. Scientifically, humans evolved as omnivores. Hence our inability to survive long term on a pure vegetable diet without b-12 supplementation. b-12 supplements didn't exist even 100 years ago. So man, prior to that date, either ate sufficient feces to get the b-12 they needed or ate meat.

Given the archeological record, it is pretty clear man was smart enough to eat meat & not poo.

[wonderfulskirt]

plants dont have nerves. arent there any intelligent people in your country?

Humans are omnivores.

"Documenting the diet in ancient human populations through stable isotope analysis of hair" DOI 10.1098/rstb.1999.0360 << which includes analysis of ancient "vegetarians" and demonstrate that they were consuming animal flesh.

"Biogeochemical record of ancient humans" doi:10.1016/S0146-6380(97)0006 0-0 << different methods, same result.

And there are dozens more articles.

Humans, historically & physiologically, are omnivores.

[climid]

dude, i know im a biology student, it was just a joke.

[DJwhiskers63]

@ccr5cxcr4 @ccr5cxcr4 K, humans are supposed to be omnivores, this is a known fact, but how can you say that cows are supposed to be "milk machines"?? It's not people eating meat that's the problem. The whole point of this video is that the WAY we eat meat is wrong. The industry behind it all, or "agri-corp".

[llamaraider]

i wonder if the creators of this video realize that small family farms are a thing of the past, and our modern consumer society cannot be supported by that any more. i also think its extremely funny how overexagerated this is

[HALOWARSROXZ1]

o please you lot are all fighting and getting no where!

and its ok to eat meat you just have to stop animal creulty!

[crisology]

"in an area near Cold Bay, state officials killed 14 wolf pups after gunning down their mothers from hellicopter State wildlife agency personnel staked out a known wolf denning site -a practice that is illegal under Alaska law -to boost caribou populations in SW Alaska.

H. Corpus kills wolves to kill carrabou for "balance"- all unnecessary as H. Sapiens are not obligate omnivores but specialized frugivores. Any animal can ingest meat but meat causes disease in humans unadapted for such feeding.

[cuppajoesugar]

Hamderson lol!

[punchamime]

youre never gonna convince the world to stop eating meat. you kill plants when you eat them does mass farming fall into this category too? whens the Corntrix coming out? humans were designed to eat meat, thats why we have sharp pointy canine teeth. you may as well try to make tigers and snakes become vegan too. lol

[crisology]

"youre never gonna convince the world to stop eating meat"

Just the healthy people.

"you kill plants" Fruit is not alive. It's being offered to disperse the seeds. There is no harm in this. Besides, plants don't have nervous systems.

"humans were designed to eat meat" This is false. Humans have anatomy most similar to bonobos/frugivores.

"thats why we have sharp pointy canine" Herbivore gorillas have sharper teeth-no reason to eat unhealthy meat.

[punchamime]

im not getting into another discussion about this with you or anyone else. there are also species of monkeys that eat small rodents so comparing us to monkeys isnt a very good defense. im glad you are vegan and all, but im not going to change the way i eat. i hate vegetables they are nasty so please dont send me any more messages i dont want to get into this discussion again.

[crisology]

punchamime "im not getting into another discussion about this with you or anyone else" Then don't. Wait, you persist...

"there are also species of monkeys that eat small rodents so comparing us to monkeys isnt a very good defense" I never compared your multiple personalities to monkeys. Humans are hominoidea, of which, all are specialized frugivores.

"im not going to change the way i eat" Conditioned state noted.

"please dont send me any more messages" I haven't sent 1. Stop the lies please.

[punchamime]

oh good grief just shut the fuck up. idk what it is with middle aged people on youtube picking arguments with people half their age but its really retarded. youre the one who brought up gorillas in the conversation stupid so if you werent comparing people to monkeys then why bring it up. and you know what i meant...i dont want your comments in my inbox.

[crisology]

punchamime "oh good grief just shut the fuck up" Crying doesn't dictate a digestive system.

"middle aged people on youtube picking arguments with people half their age" How long can u complain about your immaturity while lying?

"if you werent comparing people to monkeys then why bring it up" Gorillas aren't monkeys. I didn't even bring up monkeys anyway. and you know what i meant...i dont want your comments in my inbox" Then don't post more lies. It's within your power. U ARE NOT A VICTIM!

[punchamime]

oh whatever. you know you are old enough to be my parent so why argue with me? leave me alone or ill report you to youtube for harrassment.

[crisology]

punchamime "ill report you to youtube for harrassment"

punchamime "oh good grief just shut the fuck up" Do u know how much of a baby u sound like? Do u really think anybody feels sorry for a foul mouthed, instigating, immature, angry kid lashing out at others between complaining/lies? u are not a victim.

[punchamime]

lol okay. i never claimed to be a victim. and im sorry you cant see opinions you dont like w/o commenting people rudely. even if i was intentionally lying (which i wasnt) there is a better way to point it out then the way you done it.

[crisology]

It doesn't matter what facts u are presented, your reasons for eating meat are purely emotionally/addiction while your anatomy is that of a specialized frugivore. You've been brainwashed and now u are addicted to meat, that's fine, just don't lie and say u were designed to eat meat. Research uric acid, heme iron, ph, etc. Until then u are purposely spreading lies, which is why u are so defensive, cursing & crying, lying, etc.

[crisology]

punchamime "humans were designed to eat meat"

That's your religion. In reality, human ancestors adapted to eat fruit. There is no evidence humans adapted to meat.

"thats why we have sharp pointy canine" Your stubby "canines" are insignificant compared to gorilla's canines. Yet gorillas are herbivores. All primates use canines for defense not to latch onto antelope running by.

"you may as well try to make tigers and snakes become vegan" a 3 yr old can tell the difference between tigers & ppl..

[punchamime]

good grief. its not my 'religion' its a damn opinion. everybody has one. if you dont like mine then too bad. a 3 year old can also tell the difference between a person and a gorilla. why go back to that comment anyway you already said what you have to say, do you like irritating people or are you just desperate to get new inbox alerts? cause you really arent going to get me to stop eating meat products if that is your goal here. i respect your stand on this so be a decent person and respect mine

[crisology]

punchamime "good grief" You're pouting..

"its not my 'religion" Claiming u were "designed" is an act of a creator/religious while u avoid adaptations.

"its a damn opinion" It's your devolutionary dream of degrading human's complex digestive system to that of an obligate omnivore- rats.

"everybody has one" Now if u could grasp a fact..

Every time a flesh feeder lies by saying she was designed w/sharp canines for meat, just let her know how dull human teeth are compared to herbivore gorillas..

[punchamime]

Every time a flesh feeder lies by saying she was designed w/sharp canines for meat, just let her know how dull human teeth are compared to herbivore gorillas..

lol...you could have just said that in the first place. im not resisting opinions here

[crisology]

It doesn't matter what is said to u, u aren't changing your diet, u are just spouting because u are addicted to meat/defensive. The message is more for others to let them know there are no anatomical reasons for eating meat. You're just an example of a frustrated meat feeder getting emotional and mad about your own anatomy u defy.

Meh. As suspected: A biased propaganda film that once again attempts to attack capitalism. What else from people who haven't a clue about how supply and demand work, who'd rather have humanity suffer from famine (such rates were huge in the ages of old, and tended to kill the cows anyway) just like when everything was "mom&pop sized" rather than produce affordable sustenance.

However, unlike the propaganda that was the Meatrix 1, this one was less funny! >:(

"Meh. As suspected: A biased propaganda film that once again attempts to attack capitalism. What else from people who haven't a clue about how supply and demand work,

This isn't an attack against capitalism or supply & demand. Factory farms are heavily subidized with government tax dollars. If u want capitalism, raise real/healthy food under conditions that are not conducive for disease. Let them try a free market and see how long they last.
