The images in the following program are highly sensitive and may be as disturbing to viewers as they were to us. However, we have to show the truth about cruelty to animals, praying that you will help to stop it.

Today’s Animal World: Our Co-Inhabitants will be presented in French and English, with subtitles in Arabic, Aulacese (Vietnamese), Chinese, English, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Mongolian, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Thai.

This is the Stop Animal Cruelty series on Supreme Master Television. Our Place on Earth is an Australian non-profit organization founded by animal advocate Jodi Ruckley that seeks to inform the public about the horrors of the factory farming system.

Farmed animals across the world, who are raised by the billions each year, lead terrifying lives in abominable conditions and are eventually brutally murdered in slaughterhouses. Each animal is a beautiful, unique being and Our Place on Earth strives to preserve life through a number of endeavors including a film directed by Ms. Ruckley called “The Animals You Eat,” which documents the callous animal agriculture industry in France.

What I try to do with this film is not show people beating animals or anything like that, it just shows the day to day living conditions. And them in themselves is just, that’s the cruelty of what factory faming is, the fact that they can’t express their natural behaviors, that it deprives them of everything that they naturally know, that they’re never outside, that it’s completely unnatural food, that they just become part of a production system. That’s the real cruelty of it.

Today we present further excerpts from “The Animals You Eat,” a film where the animals themselves speak about their chilling experiences of being trapped in a bloody, ruthless and savage system.

part 4: THE FISH you eat
Fred A free fish on the coast of Normandy, France

I am sweet and pure, fond of my environment, connected to the energy and rhythms that surround me.

About that. Fred, what’s it like swimming in all that pollution?

Yes, it’s a bit gross, but there is always food here. It’s nothing compared to what other fish have to go through. Go to a fish farm, now that’s dirty.

How are you guys? Are you okay in there?

We are imprisoned. It’s so crowded in here. It’s a fight for food. There are 24 different cages. Me, I know there is something else out there.

There are thousands of us in here. It’s better than where we were before.

Why are you here?

We are being fattened up. We eat pellets, an unnatural food source. One day, in mass, we are caught in nets and killed on boats. It’s so painful for us to be drawn out of the water. The suffocation chokes us and causes us a great deal of pain. We suffocate too long.

Where did you come from? Were you born here?

No, we came from a salmon farm on the land, not far from here. I will show you what it was like from when we were very small to when we grew much bigger. They were very harsh conditions. We were crammed into these pools.

That’s why there’s a sense of relief when we are freed into the ocean. Those pools are suffocating. They are completely unnatural. It makes no sense. We lose freedom of movement. We feel lethargic and the pressure from above the water can be suffocating. It goes against nature.

What is disturbing for you?

Pollution is disturbing. Noise is disturbing. We are very sensitive to sound. Living in tune with the ocean would be so nice. Noise and pollution is a big problem for us. When in unnatural farming conditions we suffer utter confusion. We lose all sense of space. The ecology of the ocean is in a state of disharmony. It is urgent that things change.

The problem is greater for the ocean than for the land. In order to feed us, humans catch more and more wild fish to then transform them into pellets while there are less and less fish in the seas. Everywhere, there is the problem of overfishing.

This is my new friend Theo from Brittany.

Theo, pig from Brittany, France

He’s just a baby now. Isn’t he cute? What do you like to do Theo?

I like to play with my friends and squeal. I like to run. I like to hide. I like to eat all day. I like to run like that. I like to move, I just like to chase.

I can’t even speak. I just watch them. I know how intelligent pigs are. I know how they like to keep their living quarters clean. I know they like to roll in mud to protect their skin from the sun. And I know they like to dig for hours each day n search of food. They can’t do any of that here. How do you feel, Arthur?

Arthur, pig from Brittany, France

I feel hurt. I feel disappointment. I have a strong sense of smell, so much so that I can smell the character and intentions of a person. We as pigs understand more than other species. What I feel from people around me can greatly stress me.

Company is very important to us. We suffer terribly when we are alone. We are glad to have each other. We wish that people recognize us for our mental alertness and know that we are really eager to please. We are thoughtful and understanding.

I am going to visit the mothers now.

Sarah from piggery just down the road from Theo and Arthur Brittany, France.

These are pig factory farms for human consumption. Sarah, how long do you have to stay like this?

I will speak quietly and calmly. I want to remain as calm as possible. After all, I am a new mother and I want the best for my babies. It is hard in this situation. I was saddened that I was unable to build a nest before giving birth, a soft, safe, nurturing place for my babies to arrive. We are in stalls like this for long periods of time before we give birth, then twelve weeks after birth as well.

We cannot take more than one step forward in these cages. Our babies are with us. Ces animaux que tu manges (part 3) Yet we are unable to interact with them. I cannot teach them. I am so frustrated that I’m not able to move. It hurts not to move. My whole body hurts. Giving birth to this many babies is challenging, and I have no chance to rest. I am on this hard, uncomfortable floor surrounded by metal bars.

Sarah, you do your best. Thanks for being such a good mother. Why, why can’t they be free like you and me?

part 6: THE CALVES you eat
David five months old calf from Brittany, France

What are you all waiting for?

We are at the abattoir. We will be killed soon.

But you are so young. How do you feel?

We are hungry and thirsty. We want to escape but we don’t know how. We are anxious. We are extremely fearful. We’re stuck here and there is no way out. Death is imminent.

David, how did you arrive here?

We came on a truck. It was tough. I was cold. The truck was moving in all directions. There were people yelling, rushing us. It was stressful. They were beating us to make us go forward. There were so many strange noises on the journey. I was scared. They took us there. Everything scared me. I didn’t understand why I was there.

Certainly it was a sale yard. And where were you before that?

Here’s my buddy Mickaël, he is still in a calf farm in Britain. He is alone right now.

Mickaël, you’re adorable. Why are you doing that?

Because I’m a baby. I’m trying to suckle to get milk.

What do you eat? What do you drink?

I drink powdered milk from a bottle. I haven’t seen my mum since I was two days old.

No, that’s impossible!

I miss my mum so much. I am lonely without her and I know she misses me too. I love my mum. She is beautiful but she’s not here anymore.

Mickaël, what is it like here?

There are 600 of us on this farm. Most calves are with three or four others in a small stall. I was kept apart for being naughty. I kept suckling on the others because I miss my mum. We are always in the same place. It never changes. My friend, the white calf is so sad.

I am going to stand in one of your stalls for just 30 seconds and see what it’s like.

Oh now I feel what it’s like for you to be on this concrete floor. Your whole life is spent like this…. indoors! All your short life is spent inside. It’s horrible! Is it the same for your mother?

She lived on a dairy farm. She had to have babies so she would produce milk for humans. They took me away so I wouldn’t drink her milk so they could take it all. Because I’m a boy and will never have milk, they didn’t want me. That’s why I’m here.

My mum stayed at that farm. My older sister was there but she was in a different paddock than mum. She never got to see her either. She hopes she can see mum in the future, like me. Mum cried so much when they took me away. I will never forget how anxious she looked.

What would you like to do with your life, Mickaël?

I would like to be with my family. We are very sociable. I want to be with my mum, my brothers and sisters, my aunties, my cousins, and my friends. I would like to walk and run, and play in a large field and chase my friends. Go under the trees and look for my own food. Become great and powerful.

I’m very curious and would like to learn about everything. Maybe one day. The worst thing about being in captivity is when danger is approaching we are unable to escape. We are very peaceful and easygoing. We are very affectionate and we love above all a quiet and stress-free life.

Intensive livestock raising wastes fossil fuels and pollutes the environment. Above all, it is a very inefficient way to produce protein. World hunger could be virtually eradicated if all corn and soybeans used to feed livestock would be used to nourish human beings instead.

The most effective way to stop factory farming is to stop eating animals. To boycott the consumption of animals is to put an end to their suffering. When you chose a vegan lifestyle, you are a pioneer.

A vegan does not consider animals as property. We have no right to use them, whether for our food, our clothing, our leisure or our scientific experiments.

Based on a true story. Some character names have been changed This film is dedicated to Jojo, the chicken that was rescued from the broiler farm. He unfortunately died of a heart attack in March 2010, five months after his rescue. He weighed 7.2 kilograms. His body was too heavy for the heart to support him. May his desire for freedom be spread by all.

Our appreciation, Jodi Ruckley for allowing us to share “The Animals You Eat,” with our viewers. We applaud your deep commitment to advocating on behalf of all our animal friends and join your call for everyone to adopt an animal-free lifestyle right away so that innocent beings suffer no longer.
