Meet Meat
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.
