• The link below will take you to a video by Paul McCartney, it's short and straight to the point. It makes me cry everytime I watch it. He also says in the introduction " If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian". I don't know if it's entirely true, but I believe that it will change many people's attitudes and beliefs about how animals and killed and how the meat in supermarkets actually get there, all nicely packaged and finely cut. Watch it if you want.
