The documentary shows secretly filmed footage of farm animals being beaten in the face with sticks as they are being loaded and unloaded from transport. To force them to walk to the slaughter, they are driven by stabbing with pitchforks, shocked by electric shocks, or tearing their tails. The strong smell of dismembered bloody bodies gives the animals in line a clear signal of their fate and puts them in a state of mortal anxiety where they urinate in fear. The animal, which is chased immediately in front of the death box, sees with its own eyes the bloody execution that awaits it in a moment. When it is driven into the death box, there is no escape. They put a slaughter gun to its forehead, and the animal immediately falls to the ground with its skull pierced. But it's not dead, just stunned.
