i start thinking that, oh god, i'm about to get on a plane channel, some of the canines clearly enjoy it too, and have made what can be a rough experience, positively, more pleasant, that's all for now. i'm d. w. news up next year. old stories, looking at how migrant workers india get through the cold winter. i might go craft lot more for you soon, so don't go anywhere. extra watch with they want today with love and batting thing away from them, but i'm not going to have to watch my own god and everyone with later holes and every single day getting you ready to make the german can join me right. just do it

on d, w. i discovered stories that can change your mind just to click away. find out best documentary on you to see the world before i'm ready. it's dr. now to d. w documentary for eating animals eating animal products is one of the biggest, if not the biggest moral problem of our time. 9 out of 10 people in europe eat meat. busy i call it

a wonderful problem. wonderful problem because this problem has in itself the solution to many other problems to satisfy the world's appetite for meat. we have created a gigantic global industry to kill more animals in a year than the number of human beings who ever lived on the planet from whenever we crawled out of the swamps with devastating consequences for the earth's ecosystem and for billions of living beings. thus light must be the suffering that we inflict on animals. we can't even imagine it, not in our worst fantasies, not in the most horrific horror movies often. and it's not as if we're unaware of it. 73 percent of germans, and as many as 82 percent of french people reject the modern form of animal husbandry. so why do we live with a system that no one actually wants? this series searches for an answer. we tend to assume that only vegans and vegetarians follow a belief system,

but the only reason we may learn to eat pigs that not dogs, for example, is because we do follow a belief system. ah, we must confront the ethical questions that concern the core of our humanity. the thoughts of the fact that we all moral beings comes from having been trained of the millennium of the 3 hunting was yeah, to be cooperative to new and to take social relationships seriously. johnston and where does the suffering come from? when was the 1st time a living being felt something? the story starts out a little over a half a 1000000000 years ago with cease gum harmon, potion floor. it's called a microbial mat. our search takes us from the origins of the earth to a future in which meat is created without animals. media is being prepared in one

tag, and then it feeds these to your address souls. they can produce 500 kilograms of meat. this is essentially a cow a day in a room that is more or less the same of people living room. it ends with the question with our children and grandchildren to grow up in a big world. if we don't destroy ourselves, we could do here. literally, we could be around 410000 hundreds of 1000 millions of years longer. so can you, can you imagine that all this time we will continue to keep eating animals to know, at some point is going to stop. and if it's not to central will be the next. ah,

our journey begins in present day beau holt, in the german region of westminster land. duke mean house is a factory farmer. thus equally until i learned animal husbandry was socially accepted at the time, all of a sudden that's wrong. on of america's fudge squan, his farm, $6500.00 pigs are born, fattened and sent to slaughter every year. or if it is a must, i. and this here is the fattening stable. this is the last station for our pig. you in terms of animal welfare. this corresponds to a level 2 bomb tickets, which is now a standard requirement. we have no point 854 square meters per pico. i made an odd number, the bon seems very full when they are lying down, but now they can move around and they have this nicely back there. you can see them in your area, right? this here is the eating area. there's the drinking area that so the pigs also structure the pan themselves of the animals like 99 percent of their peers spend

their entire lives indoors and gain about 850 grams every day. the most valuable in for that are fattening pig lives around a 180 days. and the pigs in nature have a life expectancy of 15 to 16 years. so it is still a very early stage fuzzy on the def custodian, a full grown pig weighs about 250 kilograms, but fattening the animal for that long is not worth it. we integrate his foot on every day. the pig needs through to lift just like we humans to the longer an animal stays in the stable and all you spend on maintenance alone, the ratio of kilograms of free lose to kilograms of me gains is still ok up to weight of a 120 kilograms or after that, the ratio becomes negativity by modern fattening is a highly engineered process. there is a pre fattening mid fattening and finishing feed. they differ in protein and an

energy content. at any given time, the computer knows how many pigs are in each pen. how old they are and which feed mixture they require. let's. and with this i can choose the amount for how much of the feed goes into the soil. out on the, on the truck will come with the feed tomorrow. the latest on the feed enters the barn automatically through a pipe system. theses are collected under the slotted floor and transported away. as i found out about everything that goes in and out of the animal runs automatically. and all that was necessary to be able to continue to be a farmer to continue to keep animals. yeah, the price pressure in recent years has been the we is a farm. now have to have $3.00 to $4000.00 takes to generate an income, and i'm come. service of margins in the industry are minimal, and the fluctuating prices are mainly determined by the large slaughter companies. there is a certain dependence because we don't have much of a choice. we can, i can no longer choose between 10 different slaughterhouses,

instructor. there are ultimately 2 big ones for my goals, and there are a few small ones. i know the most of them are already a capacity, so for now they've been, i'm dependent on these to, to pick up my pamphlet. in the past, almost every municipality had its own slaughter house. but today, the 10 largest farm slaughter, 80 percent of the pigs across the country. they dictate the precise standards with which livestock must comply with trying to once much be to their power to form the takes a measured by alter phone which means the dead slaughtered animal is pulled through a probe for where the whole carcass is measured by ultrasound. when we then receive a certain number of points per kilogram of color, the kilogram affiliate a kilogram of ham. and the points and then converted into money is an ultimately you could say we are basically suppliers of cutlets that fit into the all the packaging and the counselors log. the animals must be neither too small nor too large for the slaughter house standards. if a ham weighs more than 21.49 kilograms, there are deductions, and we did ethical see the one that's running away,

that one is ready to go, so he will leave my life before shipping. the animals ready for slaughter have to be carefully selected. and i that i think i because the ham is one of the decisive factors that you might know, i always have to stand behind the pig to inspect it. usually i listen to music while i'm doing it because you really have to concentrate on the animal when i want to see which one has it and which one doesn't get up. and when i have one, he gets a line on the back and then knows what's going on. okay, he doesn't know what's happening. but we know this takes a lot of time if it takes me about half an hour to make a selection. because that ultimately, this is gonna sound really bad. yeah. but it's like a harvest. it's what we've spent half a year cultivating and nurturing with us. and if i were to sell it at the wrong time, me off, i would have much lower proceed along because of all the fact is i have to take into account it. if it's i, that's why you need a lot of time for it. that's the way it is, is if i go for the know the entire life of the animal is designed around putting

the right amount of fat and muscle on the right part of the body to reason closed. okay. if i could, i, there's this classic term much species appropriate that we can never achieve, that has a wild boar lives in the forest ellipse freely lives in small groups. that would be species appropriate that we can't offer that stuff when you're with the pigs every day. then you can sense if the animals are doing well, considering the situation, we're not taking anything away from the animal because it doesn't know any different. if an animal lived outside on the pasture and i locked it up after a year, and then it may miss or have this relationship to the outside. that's what they don't know that with us once they we grew up here in the country. i couldn't imagine living in the city, most of the city child is used to the cities. it's the same game. it's a very extreme comparison, of course. but i think that's kind of how you have to look at it.

but it's misty, one that chick fil a. no one is born, an animal abuser or an animal exploiter. you grow into it, you adapt, you get none. that's why, even though such people are my opponents in the fight to end animal exploitation, which i don't feel hatred time, 1 o'clock at night, somewhere in southern germany, the animal rights group. so co 2 shots is on a mission fleet which moon and his team have set out to uncover the scandalous conditions in factory farming widely like we want to show people that it's not just the exception. it's the true face of an industry which does not show people it's ugly side to side to night. they're on their way to a turkey farm to find out if the animal welfare laws are being violated. when the animals are transported to the slaughterhouse. if they don't, slammed the door shall not

and so i so call signs up banana, apple lemon. let's do a test one test to toner. feel. and he couldn't. they look for clues as to when the next transport will take place. if lemon to banana or clear, tens of thousands of turkeys are kept in sheds. the law allows $58.00 kilos per square meter. that's about 3 males or 5 females. if we keep to the left, there's a motion detector. light in the barn follows the rhythm of the machines. the ventilation and feeding system are deafening lout. the smell is acrid. no frantic movements or noises social frontiers. marvin smith, who tom,

every time i see a turkey farm, i find it touching because i know what great intelligent animals turkeys envoy, totally curious. they have social behavior. and here they crammed together in a shed like this. i just feel sorry, 4 nights. newborn chicks weigh less than 100 grams. within a few weeks, they'll weigh 15 to 20 kilograms. somebody lives in the cell, some go on by the time they're ready for slaughter. that's also such a horrible term and they still baby animals and as we eat, well, i don't, but people eat baby animals and you know, a turkey can live 15 years and we kill them at 5 months. they're actually bloated, chicklow to cooper, the toner vista, when despite the young slaughter age, 110th of turkeys die before they reached the slaughter wait from the consequences of extreme breeding and husbandry. but other tong cadaver been

some of the dead animals have terrible injuries. to hang the, that animal has its guts hanging out the bag. their feet are infected from walking on excrement. their feathers are torn off and their bodies are littered with wounds . is it ma, here you can also see that the beak is much shorter at the top than the bottom. that's mutilation. young baton with unable to forage for food on the ground like their wild ancestors fattened turkeys exhibit massive behavioral disorders such as mutual feather, pecking, or cannibalism. almost every chicks, life begins with the removal of part of the upper beak. the procedure does not eliminate the disturbed behavior, but with the shorter beaks, the birds do less damage. does this i think guns club a fish dorski. this is actually a clear violation of the animal welfare act which prohibits mutilation. is

a specific paragraph that states this clearly, you're not allowed to cut off testicles cut off, tails cut off ears. live grind of teeth shall cut off the bake yet it's done again and again. there are millions of exemption. autonomic anemic golden, recovery for, for a fleet which moon, this is just an example of how the financial interests of the industry override animal will sir concerns. this is musson tiara tongue. this is a factory farms. if i had the chance to go through it, i'd find many more violations. this footage was captured at a different turkey farm and wish telephone diflucan leading division issue and i found animals lying on their backs, unable to turn around and being suffocated by their own pectoral muscles. sto, i found animals with bad injuries. this turkeys with picked out eyes a common i've seen that old too often varnish. i simply cannot fathom how such

a thing can be allowed. there are thousands of such farms in germany glitch hundreds of thousands worldwide 100. in principle, they all looked the same to perceive cindy, alkali shells. fortunately, the animal rights activists have accomplished their mission. they now know when they can film the animals being transported to the slaughter house, which tries to so it's likely that the transporter will come on monday or tuesday because they are pretty much ready. but even if they find evidence of animal welfare violations, they won't be able to change the animals living conditions quickly. this is the theme essence. why? but i shall get tired. i am a claw. the criminalists talked william, the system is divided into 2 areas short. on the one hand, there, a clear criminal structures claim which are in violation of the law must and, and on the other, there is legalized crime at all whether in peak fattening, few turkey farming, my chicken farming boot. actually, if you read the animal welfare act,

we find that none of these is permissible to booked, but it was legalized under pressure, from the lobby, it's tolerated. and it's our job to keep putting our finger in the wound and say, what we have here. yeah, keeping a pig and 0.75 square meters about routinely cutting the beak of turkeys, which putting a sao in a narrow cage where she can't even turn around and training a cow. it's all forbidden, cool, unspoken i stuff alice, for born tissues cuz that the animal welfare act also states, for example, that animals should be kept in species appropriate condition off. clearly a p kept in less than one square meter. me on a slice of law is not a species appropriate when it's so bad that if the animal welfare act were really enforced or mass animal husbandry would end at once, the other, the mustn't you hold on with irish luck, a lead it the numbers produced by the global factory farming industry are so large, they are difficult to comprehend. just since you tuned in 9200 cattle have been

killed on the planet. every 2nd 9 more are added in the same amount of time. 19400 turkeys. 33300 sheep and goats. 42200 pigs. 105000 ducks and 2300000 chickens have been slaughtered all in the last 16 minutes and 41 seconds. if we stacked on top of one another, all the animals we kill and eat in the year we would reach the moon in back 40 chimes, fish die in such large numbers that we only measure them in tons. ah, so it out you go, girls. time for milking i doesn't of the boys. i do like grazing in the lower oder valley national park. these cows lived the way marketing would have us believe is the norm. any ellie come rona mara, that's it. yeah. fine anew or

a dead ski who knows each of her $170.00 cows by name calls herself a cow whisperer. and if he ask, he lodged mattie flagger many people asked me, isn't it much too cold for the cows or when it rains? shouldn't they have a stable inch? no, that's what we humans think because we have such a thin skin and always have to put on our rain jacket. jack and cattle have leather jacket and in winter it is also well lined with fat. yeah, i think and yes, i think it's good for animals to be exposed to the elements and that we don't over protect that sheet and ah, each cow here has 10000 square meters on conventional farms. they get 2.5. in fact, on your red ski does almost everything differently the cool, via cow, doesn't want to walk on concrete. if it has the choice between the road and a grass trip next to it, it will walk on the grass drip. it wants to run on the grass and not on the concrete where one can pile the craft together. nice lady can. in the dairy

industry, there's an unchangeable law of nature to get milk. you need a pregnant cow. cows need to give birth every year in order to continually produce milk. they are separated from their caps. ringback shortly after birth, often the mothers call for their young for days i live on kensington. every parent can add that either. how cool would it be to be told in the hospital? okay, we have to take your baby away now, but please don't forget to keep pumping. your melvin is down to units of a mention. i don't mean to humanize the animals, but these are mammals like us. and we think we have the right to take their babies away so we can have their milk damage. haven't been here though. calves are allowed to stay with the cows, isn't as commonly think they are 1st in line and get as much milk as they want directly then we humans take the rest in his i'm, i think that's the right way of doing it. this attitude is the absolute exception.

a knish within an ish in germany. there are only about $100.00 dairy farms where calves and mothers are kept together. that's just 2 per cent of organic farms. and all organic farms together produce only about 3.5 percent of the country's milk. anya's convinced it is possible to farm animals in species appropriate conditions. but the basic rule of animal husbandry also applies to her. keeping an animal alive is only worth while, as long as it performs for him shows him a before it's shot. there is always a moment of a total stillness as if everyone were waiting. and in that moment, i think at the animal gun and let it go with gratitude, understeer and so that the soul can also gum disease. okay. mm hm. it is spiritual to day. it's maria's turn. she will not die in the slaughter house,

but where she lived. the thing is of in it's definitely more pleasant to shoot her in the past charities as if she were a dear move. ah, here's a head of the grass is nice here. you've chosen the tastiest spot. each animal slaughtered this way in the pasture must be individually registered and approved by the authorities, and official veterinarian inspects each animal. what costs to large slaughterhouse, but a few cents costs anya, around 40 euros per animal. death should come as suddenly as possible, surprisingly and without fear. the specially commissioned hunter shoots maria at close range between the eyes. okay. when, when we think about where our meet comes from,

we like to imagine that the animals lived and died the way noreah did. but the truth is, unless we've made a very conscious decision to do so, we've probably never eaten such meat ah, 600 kilometers to the south animal rights activists league. which moon also believes that any genuine change has to start with the demand? when the hulking doesn't cause amendment comenity, the thought colorful didn't cannot, to my main opponent. so the consumers who are buying the stuffy, who are pushing the button that sparks this whole chain reaction to me from it. but in order to reach them, i have to deal with all kinds of lackeys in this industry where the suffering is happening in order to show my main opponents, the people, hey, this is what you're causing this suffering thus was too full was of stuff the style light, the dish moon has been researching the meat and food industry for almost 30 years. he and his team have long since professionalized their operations and the us with

nothing yet. and i got my 1st night vision device from my father when i was 13. of course it wasn't as high quality as this one feel. this is the standard night vision device of the u. s. army, i'm, i'm sure you've seen it in action. movies was in the so co tears should server is full of horrific footage of animals in the food industry. thousands of broiler chickens, for example, are loaded and driven around the country for hours. i was each of you, you can see how carelessly they grabbed them by the feet and throw them in that wretch at the door shots no matter if there is a head or a wing sticking out into egypt, cows or carelessly disposed of, sometimes illegally slaughtered when they no longer produce milk. male calves are worthless from the star. turkeys are over bred to such an extent that they barely last until they are ready for slaughter. the carpet extra awesome. the body grows

rapidly, literally vegetated and bones and joints just can't keep papa before being slaughtered. pigs are stunned with c o. 2 in gas chambers while they panic and fight for their lives. that's not a scandalous exception, but the norm eat up, you know, goodbyes must see ought to by every biologist knows that c o 2 causes pain in the mucous membrane, but the big corporations have pushed this through. have made it possible, as it's the only way you can slaughter 25000 pigs a day non toxic, that one still not stand back. they're the same patterns are evident everywhere. a system designed around profits and only as much animal welfare as the law requires . they've been taught in optimist to show i'm an optimistic animal rights activist here. that makes me very different from the majority of people who call themselves

animal rights activist because they say everything's getting more and more horrible . and yes, i believe that we and i will live to see the end of mass animal husbandry high little because i'm watching very closely how this industry is developing, what problems it has, where it's already crumbling, where the 1st parts are already collapsing will shortly. and that's in full swing right now. we have the most extreme human animal relationship dynamic in the history of humanity. if it has like a she did, i mention it. sometimes he can't even stand documenting the conditions. just as desousa still hope the obvious that was the sweetest thing ever. i was rescuing a duck from a farm. i found it and i just couldn't leave it there. this is elder, the duck dog. she's such an enthusiastic bird, and she immediately started to clean herself who she was so dirty. what unfair? so guiding them as lute the wreckage enough by the full gazelle ball. after that

the bird was clean and the whole bathroom dirty, the dog. now when we turn on the flush, the bird goes absolutely crazy. and this is the 1st time that this water bird gets to swimming water bus up swim because so that was one of the most beautiful moments i've ever experienced. i mean, sometimes it's like we have 2 pairs of glasses. for one, we see animals as food through the other as individuals. how would the world change if we wore the 2nd pair more often? ah ah ah

ah ah ah ah ah ah, ah, for every day is more difficult than the next uranian very batteries out with cousin sanctions and protests. increase the risk of poverty for people like ha, how can this end?

when the economic situation wesson's day by day 3000 in 15 minutes on d w. how can journalism help us and overcoming divisions save the date for the d. w global media forum 2023 in bonn, germany and increasingly fragmented world with a growing number of voices, digitally amplified. you see where this clutter can lead what we really need, overcoming divisions into vision for tomorrow's journalism. save the date and join us for this discussion. at the 16th edition of d, w. c. global media forum. ah, well, you become a criminal. ah franklin,
