Last night, me and my best friend watched 'Stunned', a short story on #ABC730 about how #pigs in #Australia are sent to gas chambers to be killed. They are then cut up and turned into food that normal people eat every single day. The scenes were horrific, and I applaud #abcAustralia for showing the footage before most kids bed time.

My best friend, who has been awakened to all the cruelty and suffering that is done to these pigs and other defenseless animals long before me, watched it with a numb sensation, whereas I imagine most people (that simply don't know that this is what happens every single day), may find the footage shocking. I couldn't help but sob and whimper, ashamed of myself for being a part of this system for so long.

I invite you all to watch it:

The blurb says it well:

"Australians are a nation of meat lovers, but many of us never stop to think about how the animals we eat live or die. Tonight, we bring you never before seen footage that shows the method used to slaughter the vast majority of pigs in Australia.

It's hard to watch but also hard to ignore. As Lauren Day reports, none of what you're about to see is illegal except for the actions of those who filmed it and a warning, it contains footage some viewers may find confronting."

Thank you to ABC, #AnimalsAustralia, and #FarmTransparencyProject, for showing us this footage.
