18. I think it's good that people are aware of what is happening

but I won't watch a similar video again.

I recommend that animal lovers look into it, but if you are like me, you may want to stop watching once you get the idea of the cruelty and suffering on a grand scale that happens every day. Keep watching and you run the risk of having the images haunt you for weeks. It kind of makes me lose faith in humanity.
