Final Food Assignment

I listened the Dana White song, and due to a lack of time as you suggested, none of the others. I had a laugh : ) - I got several clear messages from this video. At the start of the video, Dana describes the way that domesticated cows are raised to get fat, and get fat to be killed and eaten. This has widely been the case in agricultural farming for a long time, but it has been taken to a new level with industrial farming. Basically, it's done on a much larger scale.

Also, the funny parts of the video - the cow guru, the cows with guns, their rebellion, I think in turn send a message that says explicitly that those things can't and won't happen. Cows have no way of taking a stand and neither do any other farm animals. Chickens in choppers make an appearance to make it clear that a good number of industrial farm animals experience the same fate. These things go without saying, but this video catches attention to hopefully make a statement.

In my opinion, for the health of animals, humans themselves and our coexistence in general, humans should stray from the current tactics of industrial farming.
