Global food production and especially the production of meat has increased dramatically ain the past decades. As living standards rise, we eat more and we eat more meat. Meat production today is an intensive industry taking animal feed from one part of the world to overproduce meat under extreme conditions in another.

A Europe of factory farms
"In the past, Europe had a diverse agriculture. Farmers had some of us pigs next to growing grains and vegetables and they produced for the locals. Luckily, most farmers don't keep pigs anymore, but look what we have instead. Only these mega-farms, like factories, producing a single product for the world market."

Animals or 'Meat Factories'

"Yoho, I am finally out. How can a so-called civilised society keep animals in factories? My millions of mates and I have never seen daylight. Moving around is seen as a waste of energy! No future for us but the butcher. We are living animals with feelings damn it! Not just a money-making product! Ein zwei drei, alle Tieren frei!"
