Meatrix.

The Meatrix is essentially targeting large agriculture corporations – in fact, the companies are called, “greedy” in the Meatrix video. After viewing the video, I feel as though Free Range Studios did an amazing job creating the Meatrix videos. They explained how the large agriculture companies are not only destroying animals but are destroying their own kind – humans. Although we all have differences (i.e. rich – vs. – poor, we are all humans.) The corporations do not care about their workers, which include the farmers who obviously are “scared,” and I’d say, “weak.” If the public took a stand together, we would prevail. The corporations need our business; the public taking a stand has worked many times before in a variety of controversial issues. Free Range Studios are some of the few who have taken the stand to stop factory farming – feeding animals corn because of its cheapness; giving animals antibiotics to make them grow quicker (and live longer to suffer), not letting animals see any sunlight (how horrible is that?!), and making animals live in their own excrement (bacteria definitely runs rapid!) confined in an absolute hideous amount of space!  Its morally wrong, unfair, and together we all can make a difference. Do I think we will make a difference? 65% No, 35% Yes. We do live in a capital driving world – I.E. The agriculture corporations, and many people aren’t thinking of help each other let alone any animals. So…We must wait and see if any changes will occur…Hopefully so.

I saw an article that read, "Environmental Justice Case Study: Hog Farming in North Carolina." 

The article goes into depth about Large Hog Corportations have came into NC and have taken over small hog farmers; the number of hog producers decreased rapidly, from 23K to 8K -- although the number of hogs have tripled in the state. HELP - a community group (group of residents) in Halifax County worked together to fight the Large Hog Corporations and won.
