That struck me as well. While, I've never been to a slaughter house, I did spend quite a bit of my youth on my Uncle's dairy farm. So, I would argue that I'm not one of the "ignorant public" when it comes to how large amounts of animals are dealt with in captivity. I think this attempt to simply redefine abuse is pretty deplorable. Equating it to open heart surgery is simply madness. If we were talking about the actual slaughtering process, then yes, that analogy would have weight. Seeing a cow get killed and then chopped up would be similar on a "shock" level to seeing someone have open heart surgury. But that's now what we're talking about. That's not what these videos show. A better analogy would be someone breaking your knees in the waiting room, and then forcing you to crawl to the operating room where you'll finally receive your open heart surgery. The bulk of the farm videos I've seen all involve the terrible treatment of animals in their days to day lives. It's tough to buy "That's just the way it is" when "the way it is" doesn't need to be abusive.
