This is genuinely a lot better than most factory farms. These chickens can actually move a little bit
Just seems like that because they are still little. They will grow up fast and have no space then. But yeah I've seen even way worse stuff. Go vegan guys, there's no justification for the suffering we're putting these innocent animals trough
@@gustavdestroyer5539 by the time that happens they’ll already be slaughtered
@@gustavdestroyer5539you don’t need to go vegan you can just try not to eat food from factory farms unless you don’t really care then eat whatever lol
@@gustavdestroyer5539 nope.
Never will i become a sissy vegan

And this is the nicest possible factory farm one would find. Most are far, far worse.

I grew up with chickens and I can tell you that they are very smart curious and loving animals.
Factory farming is absolutely heartbreaking. I hope that we can stop this soon
leicanoct heart breaking because these chicken are gonna be killed for you to eat
@@vtae9611I love McDonald's chicken nuggets
leicanoct are you stupid
This is how you feed a human race of billions of people

Poor animals 😭😭😭😭😭😭 ... it causes so much pain
Everyone in the world should watch this.
It hurts watching this😢
@leicanoct why are u trying to start a fight, u keep
commenting just to tease, grow up
Check out Joel salatin these Farms are a waste of money as they are wasting the ecosystem Services of the chickens
Humanity will pay the price for their cruelty
Literally breaks my heart to see such adorable innocent animals suffering and being treated like s**t💔
Going vegaterian was one of the best decisions of my life
Keagan it good to be vegan but the real problem is very serious these factory farming are creating piles of viruses ......
@@mariezoe2411 stop trying to start a argument :/
now look up what happens to cows and chickens in diary and egg farms. Spoiler: no different and they get killed when they stop producing eggs and milk
Thank you for showing this!
@leicanoct the disgusting conditions in factory farming, but yes "a floor full of chicks"...
Me talking to my self conscious be like:
Im hungry
They've never seen the sun. They've never seen green.
Me neither.
Thank you for bearing witness and giving what small comfort one so empathetic can provide.
Savana strict actions are need of the time against factory farming... people never learn from their past
"I get to Leave,They Don't!.....That's heart wrenching
I saw a documentary years ago. The chickens were kept in a 1 ft x 1 ft cages for their entire lives. Their beaks were clipped to keep them from pecking their neighbors to death. They couldn't stand up because of no exercise and rapid growth. I remember thinking "why can't they just roam around in a decent barn like cows do in the fields?" I was kind of happy to see they're doing that with THESE chickens. This setup may not be perfect, but it's better than what I saw. There's always room for more kindness to animals, and each other.
Thank you for this beautiful video, I promise to not look away
Birds are such curious and loving animals😢
The mass population should try eating black beans more, its delicious and harmless🙏🏼
...And invasive species, like Asian carp and Texan feral hogs
Whatever I’ll still eat meat
I still love my meat, I do feel bad for these animals. Atleast allow them to live a good life before being killed.
@@AlBunch54 you sound like my dad before he got sick--called chickens walking drumsticks. Thankfully he's healthy now and hasn't had meat in almost 7 months-never imagined. Anyway have a good one
I always thought of chicken farming as how my neighbors did it, pens in their yards with chickens roaming about in the grass. They kept them for eggs, let them live a long life, and only slaughtered them when they grew old. I was caught up in the lie of what farming was. I didn't want to think about factory farming, but I'm not surprised this industry is all about profit.
It breaks my heart that the one chicken she held had never been petted before, never seen sunlight, and never spread its wings because of being cramped. That was it's one moment of happiness in its life before it was sent to be slaughtered. Every chicken in there was an individual animal, each with their own personalities and quirks. None of them lived a happy life.
I'm glad this was made, I wished more animals didn't have to live like this, its sad.
This is why I'm Vegan 💚

98% of people watching this: "omg this is so tragic, heart broken, thoughts and prayers!!" (*continues eating tortured animals*)
I'm vegetarian
Also I had rescued a chicken now my pet
I grew up working a factory farm, and honestly, if you want to end the cruelty, maybe send a photography crew out to document the waste caused by companies like Walmart and target. If they wouldn’t waste as much we wouldn’t need to produce in such large quantities. Also, we as farmers work as much or more hours than lawyers (80-90 hrs non-winter) yet make very little. Want things to change? Look at the demand not the supply
yet, it has to end.
The first thing to do if you want to end the cruelty and want things to change is of course to go vegan. Then you yourself won't contribute to the breeding, exploitation and killing of these beings. Then, to make an even greater impact, become an animal rights activist and talk to others about the most neglected members in our society.
this is enough to turn me vegan
YOU WANT TO EAT PLANTS COVERED IN CANCER CAUSING PESTICIDES BECAUSE YOU SEEN THE INSIDE OF A CHICKEN BARN.?
@Goodstuff Garage, it's called empathy. Also meats is a leading killer through heart related deaths.
@@A_Drift... WHAT ABOUT PESTICIDES AND CANCER.? MOST HEART RELATED PROBLEMS ARE FROM HIGH CHOLESTEROL WICH MOSTLY COMES FROM OILS FROM PLANTS. YOU KNOW. LIKE VEGETABLE OIL.?

Funny how this video pops up on my feed after I broke vegetarian diet after almost 3 years...
Could be a sign that you should get back on it.
It’s a sign go back before you get sick
NowThis is BRAVE for keeping their comments on
Even though I'm not vegetarian or vegan, I absolutely support banning factory farming to protect the environment, animal welfare and end world hunger. Meat should always be of high welfare standards and meat should only be eaten sparingly - we as a society eat far too much
why aren't you vegan then? if you can make a change why not try? the only way these institutions can be banned is if we don't support them and make it known what they're doing, otherwise they just fly under the radar. also being vegan can be one of the most healthy diets out there.
My dad worked at many farms like these farms because we were very poor and pretty much homeless I'd see dead baby chicks all over the place so many of them had broken legs and some of them were born deformed with extra legs
It seems odd to me that there wasn't a clear statement suggesting people stop eating chicken. I love the exposure in htis, but the message to "never cause harm, never look away" is too vague for most people. The best thing consumers can do is stop buying dead animals and animal secretions. It's the only way to directly reduce suffering and death.
this is friken messed up its like keeping humans in a barn all cramped up and then get slotterd
I had a pet chicken it was so cute!! But it died :((( and i kept one of their feathers for 1 year
This is really sad and sucks as "intelligent" beings
We humans are worst creature 😭
Gods creatures. This is so so sad. I need to quit eating meat. Intelligent animals. You would be very surprised on how much these animals are wanting to live not be eaten. My heart breaks for these poor birds. It's so sad to see this and it cannot be happening-
The Bible actually says in the book of genesis that humans are allowed to kill animals for food. I’m against animal cruelty and I do think it’s wrong how animals are treated in meat industries but I think it’s fine for people to hunt animals for food. In the wild deer and other animals get killed all the time by lions and wolves. I think that killing animals for food should be done humanely of course, like a quick and painless death. I mean it’s a circle of life after all.
@@seth2118 Cannibalism is the circle of life too since several species, including humans do it. Jeffrey Dahmer killed his human victims more painlessly than we do to non human animals. As for the Bible, anything can be justified using it including slavery
@@jordanv3323 THANK YOU!!! A lot of sick acts are condoned in the Bible.
@@seth2118 Are you just trying to confine a living God like confining a chicken to a book? And then choose a killing verse in that book to" justify " your killings (participatory or otherwise) for " food" ?
@@RRedeemed The Bible doesn't say to treat animals cruely. Here's what the Bible says about how to take care of animals...Prov. 12:10 "A righteous man regards the life of his animal, But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel."Deut. 22:10 “You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together. In Genesis having dominion over all of the animals means to take care of them, to love them, as you love people, even loving your wife.
TOTALLY INSANE, we need to stad up to these companies and sayyyyy somthinng doo somthing, we need a animals rights movement like greta thundenberg who is with me!!(im sooo serious send me your email lets start this and make NEWS HEADLINES )
One dying chick out of thousands? Mother birds sometimes even throw the weakest bird out off the nest to its death.
Right! I didn't notice the harsh conditions that the dramatization implies...lol.
You sound like my dad before he got sick. His health is better now thankfully and he hasn't had meat in nearly 7 months-never imagined! Anyway have a good one
Hey guys ! Hey Farmers , I just want to let you know that we’re not trying to stop you from what you’re doing we just want you to choose a new path of raising the chickens maybe just a little more humane, some windows, a little outdoor space, that’s all we ask is a change so that the chickens may have a happier life before they die. Please let’s do this together , peace and love!!
(Grew up working this kind of farm, family owned) unfortunately it’s not that simple. We own the land and buildings but a corporation makes us raise them that way. We don’t have the authority to change things. People who work or own these kind of farms don’t have the agency to alter its operation
What’s that gonna change? Nothing they’re still being killed either way
They’re still living short, brutal lives that end with a slit neck at 6 weeks… go vegan to make it stop
@@coltj5907 a corporation doesn't have authority. God does.
Thank you Jo-Anne for what you do for the animals! Never stop fighting for justice and liberation! Go vegan today!
Nah
An enlightened society has no need to kill or torture others because it realizes that the “other” is just an illusion.. there is only “us” who know we are “I” and that “i” even a rock has.. but even more so animals have
You been smokin crack bro?

We need to eat both meat and vegetables to maintain a healthy body...
It's not like you can just exclude one without a underlying condition, and not feel the effects.

If you consume poultry that’s not from a reputable locally sourced free range farm, you are complicit in the mistreatment of these animals.
Mmm chicken 🤤

This is why I only eat meat from two small local farms whose owner is a friend or meat hunted for ecological population control (i.e. deer or Eurasian boar).
Good. Thank you for not supporting these torture camps.
Αnd I only wat fish I catch. When I catch them I immediately stab them in the face so they have a quick and non suffering deth
Yes! There is a local farm in my area that raises cattle and chicken. One - the animals are not held captive. They get to be animals. Two - grass fed without antibiotics (which means no methane - they emit methane from antibiotics, actually). Three - they don't get frozen or take a tour of the US before ending up on my grocery shelf. They're vacuum sealed and i get them same day only 30 mins away. The farm also processes the whole animal - bones for soup or bone meal, leather goods, items from the horn, feet for the gelatin. Not just dumping the offal and carcass that could have so many more uses.
Y e s
What if there was an alien species that came to earth and only ate humans that were slaughtered in a humane way.
In other words there is no such thing as humane slaughter.
Stop eating meat. You're body isn't designed for it anyway.
Poor baby's . I hate humans who think their taste buds are more important then a living being. I really hope they will be feel the same pain and horror that the animals they consume have to go trough.
If that lady we’re to pass out alone in there those chickens would eat her alive. They would peck her down to the bones. People love to humanize animals.
Same with pigs,they will eat you if they get the chance.

God why do I watch these things? Anyone got eye bleach?
This is why you guys get horrible nightmares if your still able to dream.
They don't avoid her at first because they think she means harm. They shy away from people because it's a large animal they never interact with. They don't know they will be harmed.
What is worse is watching people who have no degree in Child minding or teaching or psychology rearing children as if they were born parents from the womb.. What a pathetic world we live in that anyone can become a parent and destroy the hopes of so many children just by telling them they cant eat meat....
thanks for your work to help animals. your time with those chickens must have been their best moments of their short sad lives, one kindness most in factory farms never receive. keep hoping for a better world for all animals, and especially factory farm animals. go vegan
The thing that hurts a lot is that little chicken she holds and pets now is long dead and eaten because people are selfish.
That’s crazy
The type of chickens they are raising here are not meant to live beyond about 12 weeks. If you took them to a sanctuary and gave them a good life they would still die quickly due to heart respiratory problems and stress fractures. These birds die crippled because they are bred to killed at 3 months or less....thier bones are literally too weak to support thier body weight
People are selfish. People ar cruel. People are hypocritical. They adore their pets, but pay people to torture and slaughter other animals.
The ignorance regarding cattle and chicken abuse in the U.S. is extreme. The average person goes to fast food chains and grocery stores happily supporting animal torture. The average American buys products that have been tested on animals who suffer torture. This is cause and effect is the primary reason Americans feel toxic but do not understand the cause. Look around at how unhealthy the people are in our country. You see if we neglect disabled kids and animals, if we support wars, if we go along with horrendous suffering then it boomerangs into our world. Without compassion for "everything" our senses are dulled which results in vast depression/anxiety resulting in hate and lack of care. This vicious cycle can be repaired with compassion, love and kindness. Don't allow the corporate machine to control your world be an honest genuine person then you will discover how to be happy. Even the comments in this thread are so ignorant it gnerates enormous concern regarding how shallow and incapable of depth people have become. You have to change your diet and nourish your mind in order to learn and communicate what is happening in the world. Lead by example change course and teach others about these atrocities.
the sad thing is that the vast majority of people have mo idea how horrible it truly is for these perfect creatures. I am lucky enough to know. That is why I am vegan.
Iam vegetarian
This makes me cry. I eat meat, but they should have a decent life, since they are going to be on a table.

It is shocking shocking for this brutal life that the animals must endure for the sake to provide meat for our humans. We must boicot such behaviour by not eating any meat anymore. God gave this earth for us to rein and rule over it not destroy and mistreat. We must stop this Jos
The least we can do is not harm them.

@@coraltitan6225 you are making no sense. If you release them thousands of animals will die and habitats will be destroyed. We will still have to eat them to save more animals.
I'll never regret becoming vegetarian ever again.
Male chickens are thrown into a blender shortly after birth because they're useless to the egg industry. Baby cows are separated from their mothers so they can't drink their milk. Please consider going vegan.
I was born vegetarian ive never eaten meat before.
When presenting religious human beings with this type of treatment.......the response from those individuals,"GOD allows that type of suffering" ?????? "we enjoy this type of suffering, it is good for our children." All that pain & suffering injected into the consumer???
How was she able to get in to take pictures?
You don't have to stop eating meat. You have to stop enabling massive industry that doesn't care. Local animal farmers with small abattoirs are constantly raided and shut down so they cannot compete with mega farmers and the big slaughterhouses. A small abattoir will kill quickly and humanely without missing and letting the animal linger in agony. There are more than enough films to show you the horrors of the major slaughterhouses.
I was going to eat chicken tacos tomorrow but now I'm still going to eat chicken tacos

No one can stop me from eating meat :)
People keep saying these (meat animals) are all God’s creatures as if they are supposed to run freely all over creation, revered and celebrated romantically. Yet the Bible explicitly states these animals are for every live being’s consumption. That is their purpose, just as we have a purpose (supposedly). We cry about slaughtering cattle and chickens but does anyone deny that wild predator beasts savagely and cruelty take down and torture other animals? I have seen on You Tube here disgusting scavengers, dozens of hyenas and lions eating the rear ends of LIVE wildebeests and antelopes, zebras and what ever moves. The poor paralyzed thing sits helpless. Does anyone suggest these wild beasts eat grass and leaves only?
i agree, animals are very valuable, they should all be treated just like any other pets like dogs. eating animals even costs more than just eating vegtables because you have to feen animals first for a long time, then kill them because their tasty...... watching this video made me realise that eating meat is not good for the fate of animals
interacting so this video gets out there
I promise.
Thats y u should go vegan
I don’t feel upset anymore now I just feel angry. This is completely unnecessary, we have the power the end this if we just choose a more compassionate option, a vegan option.
leicanoct being bred genetically to the point where your legs break under the weight of your own body isn’t abuse? Kept in a dark shed for your entire life isn’t abuse. Okay then...
Bry-Fi that’s called a strawman, sure there’s definitely situations where people can’t have a vegan diet, but what’s stopping those who can? Also the cheapest foods are things like pasta, rice, potatoes, bananas, oats, grains, legumes, bread etc all vegan. But you’re correct in that some people don’t have that access. But it would become more accessible to those people if those who could shifted to a plant based diet and a lot of systematic change occurred. I went vegan at 22 on minimum wage but in a very well off country with access to loads of stores and I personally saved money eating more whole plant foods.
@@BriFiConnections Meat is only cheap because the government subsidizes it and then watches as poor people die 10 years younger than the rich.
Ofcource some ways of animal farming is better but even if someone locked me in Disney world and killed me on my 18th birthday I still wouldn’t be ok with that !!
How do these peoples gain access to these farms ? Do they go into other places of work ?
The factory farm workers clean it up for inspection and because it looks mildly hygienic, a few photographers can come in. Also, factory farmers aren't paid much and many of them are in debt; they don't even LIKE their job ( ; - ; )
2021 Im still eating chicken. God made animals so we can eat Them and if we treat them like their human that's kinda wrong because they are not human, We are and no matter how you raise the animal it all ends the same on a plate . these videos should not be the only reason why people go vegan.
Just eat from non factory farms. You are supporting torture. God didn’t make these animals, they evolved just like us. They can feel pain. They have a brain.
@@benjamingurevitch4097 well guess what eating that way costs more and not everyone can afford that
They are animals with brains and lives who can feel suffering. You can kill them, but not treat them as objects. Buy some meat where the animals are treated humanely before tey die.
@@sril6542 so simple right? Guess what that meat costs more money and most people can’t afford it
Meat is associated with global warming, higher rate of cancer and cardiovascular diseases, and poor economics in terms of food. With the resources that go to making non-vegetarian food, you can feed ten times more people with vegetarian food. Even more.
I wish I could sit with all those chickens. Seeing stuff like this…it makes me feel so bad…
And some people still think lab-grown meat is "Frankenfood." Yikes.
People are cruel. We have no moral compas.

@@sirreginaldlee3576 What’s funny about this you heartless gremlin

If you feel so sorry for the chicken then buy it from the farm and take it to the vet. The farm will probably give it to you since it'll just be going into the dead pile anyway.
By doing that you're only giving them more money to continue this line of abuse.
Showing everyone this will show the cruelty of these places, and maybe they can make better farms, where the animals at least are happy.
When we work with livestock and we handle sick or dying livestock... the farm workers should take precautions. Cover thier head and disinfect after entering the nest.

*Why so much ignorance?*
Well there goes my chicken sandwich
If it wasn't for factory farming the vast majority of people in this country couldn't afford to eat. And when I'm talking about factory farming I am also including those who raise fruit and vegetables. Anyone who wants proof of this just has to attend a farmer's market in the summer. The chicken free range on small farms run seven to ten dollars a pound raw. You can buy an entire factory farmed bird already cooked for five to six dollars in Jewel, Costco, or any other grocery store. Grass fed beef from a small ranch will run you twelve dollars a pound for ground beef and twenty eight dollars a pound for a cheap cut of steak. Tomatoes from a local farmer will run you five dollars a pound while the grocery store will sell them to you in season for a dollar to a dollar and a half a pound. Eggs from a local farmer will run you eight to twelve dollars a dozen while at the grocery store it will run you ninety cents to a dollar and a quarter a dozen. And if you think the animals on factory farms are treated badly than you've got a real surprise on how migrant farm workers are treated that pick you fruits and vegetable. They are paid slave wages and live in rat infested hovals. You've got entire families working the fields including kids a young as six years old working twelve hour days.
Bruh that’s cap. You forget that for every pound of animal products it took about 16 pounds of plant foods to make that. In the US alone 38 BILLION tax dollars are wasted on this wasteful industry that pollutes our waters, burns our trees and exploits humans. That tax money could be used to lower the cost of plant foods. What you just said is all straight cap.
Dude. Cellular ag.
Good point on the farm labor though.
Workers at factory farms and slaughter houses suffer from PTSD and the crime rates of communities surrounding these places are higher than the average with domestic abuse, child abuse and drug addiction.
humans need to eat, we are at the top of the food chain, if everyone in the world went vegan we wouldnt be able to sustain ourselves, people need to eat meat, its just how it is. sure it may be cruel the way we attain our meat at times but it is what it is.
We eat way too much meat then we actually need, plus the meat industry is one of the key factors in global warming.
It really isn't. Your argument doesn't make a lick of sense. We can easily put laws in place to stop this treatment, but abusers like you don't want it. If I did the same thing to a dog, then there would be outcry.

Por un planeta vegano 🌍💚
Human overpopulation contributes to all sorts of suffering including factory farming.
That's inaccurate because population doesn't always corelate with the amount of resources consumed. Americans and Europeans consume way more meat than Indians for example.
Look at the fields outside like why can’t they just let the chickens roam free. Put fences and stuff
