Here’s the description of the video:
“Many consumers are unaware of the ways animals are raised and killed to stock our grocery stores. In the United States, there are virtually no laws regulating the treatment of billions of animals on factory farms, and these sensitive individuals pay the price for cheap meat with misery-filled lives.”
“Compassion Over Killing’s documentary exposes the broiler industry and its disregard for animal welfare. 45 Days: The Life and Death of a Broiler Chicken features investigative footage—from hatching and factory-farm life to slaughter and packaging.”

I often like quizzing nonvegans about how long they think it takes for a chick to reach the grocery store. The most accurate guess I’ve ever gotten was “6 months”. Most people think it’s 2 years or more… Sadly, it doesn’t seem to make much of a difference – Except maybe that bit of information might lead to a little bit more until finally everything connects.
