While man has the right
to kill animals, he has a
responsibility for the
way that this killing is
executed.
All around the world and since the
dawn of time, human
beings have always
used animals as
offerings for their
Gods, thus demonstrating
the sanctity of food, life
and death. Today however,
after hundreds of years of
industrialism, the act of
killing animals has become
taboo and death has been
abstracted. The production
of meat is sterilised: there
is no more blood, no more
bones, no more heads. The
animal is disappearing,
replaced by
its image of the supermarket product. Meet Meat does not criticise the act of eating meat. Rather, it aims to reveal what industries hide in their slaughterhouses.
