Life beyond the bounds of evil No, this movie didn't say or show me anything new. I grew up in a village and have seen cattle slaughtered since childhood. Then I had experience working in a poultry farm. And the film doesn't show half of all the cruelty to the bird. For example, my job was to sort chickens, only girls were left alive, boys chickens were put alive in bags and then those who hadn't suffocated were ground alive as an additive to live chicken feed. Also, during the work, I had to tear up to 20 chickens alive (this was called covering) to check the correct sorting. Then, already in a chicken coop with adults who stop running well, I felt in the procedure of “rejuvenation” with the help of hunger. For about 40 days, chickens are fed only shells and water, all the feathers are removed from them, but then they rush for another year like young layers. The whole life of these poor creatures is spent in closed rooms, in cramped cages. They see sunlight only when they are transported from the coop to the coop (first after sorting into the shop of the young, then to the adult shop, then to the slaughterhouse). They are electrocuted, but for some reason not everyone dies and the chickens screaming in almost human voices (so you can hear “mama-mama!”) is one of the most terrible sounds I have heard. I worked there for 3 years because of unemployment. I didn’t become a vegetarian, so I don’t really believe people who say they did after this movie. While it’s possible for a person who only saw a chicken or a cow on a package in a store, the movie is a revelation.
For me, first of all, this film showed me and the society around me so painful and cruel. Man has always used and consumed animals for food. But the way we do it now is just beyond evil. And the parallels with concentration camps are not accidental and far-fetched. The problem is not whether or not to kill animals, we will all eventually die, but the way these creatures live and the fact that we calmly swallow all this for granted, serves as a terrible prediction of our future. Look at everything and think about what can be changed in our lives now, for the sake of our future.
