This episode continues our expose into the modern agribusiness industry and uncovers the mistreatment of animals for food. Investigations into a livestock
auction, an egg farm and a pig farm document the poor conditions that exist on all types of modern factory farms. These investigations stand in stark contrast to the idyllic images that the meat industry shows in advertisements and on meat, dairy and egg packaging. Workers are seen slamming doors on animals, prodding them and kicking them in the face.
