"If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian." - Paul McCartney
This video "Glass Walls" by PETA shows what happens in today's industrialised meat and dairy industries.
The video has R Madhavan's narration and the footage reveals what happens to animals raised for meat, eggs and dairy products.
The clips shows how chickens' throats are cut while they're still conscious, fish suffocate and are cut open while they're still alive, pigs are often stabbed in the heart as they scream in pain and calves are torn away from their mothers within hours of birth.
The footage takes us at the slaughterhouse, where animals are often killed in full view of one another and dismembered while they're still conscious.
According to PETA, in addition to causing animal suffering on a massive scale, eating meat has been conclusively linked to heart disease, strokes, diabetes, cancer and obesity. And a United Nations report concluded that a global shift towards a plant-based diet is necessary to combat the worst effects of climate change.
