How the meat we eat is made

Categories: Production |

Buying meat in supermarkets almost every day, you can get used to the idea that it grows on trees, and it is simply collected and brought to stores in plastic packaging. But the reality is different, and the production of the meat you eat is an international slaughterhouse. If you are used to seeing cows and pigs happily running around meadows and pastures, get ready for a terrible sight, or better not watch this post at all.

Caution, in the post hard photos! The impressionable do not enter!!
