In the part about fish, industrialized production on a factory ship and fish farming in aquaculture are processed.
Chicken
Today's poultry production is highly industrialized and is operated with high-performance animals. Curiously enough, the consumer still believes in the image of the rural idyll. In addition, radical animal rights activists are accompanied when animals are liberated from battery cages . The dimensions of the manufacturing industry are also shown. In addition, due to the high laying performance, almost featherless laying hens are shown in floor housing and the docking of beaks to protect against cannibalism .
Cows and pigs
Pig husbandry is shown from birth to the end in the automated slaughterhouse. In addition, dairy cow husbandry in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania with concentrated feed and a rotary milking parlor is shown. The falling milk price and the high milk yield are blamed for stomach diseases, udder infections and a shortened lifespan. In addition, some black sheep from livestock farming are shown: pigs locked in the dark and cows whose udders drag on the ground.

The piece work of butchers and machines in the slaughterhouse is also shown.

Then the fish handling at Frankfurt Airport is shown, the handling of which exceeds Bremerhaven , Cuxhaven and Hamburg together. In Norway, salmon farming is shown in aquaculture including automatic feeding. Other fish farms in the open sea off the New Hampshire coast will be shown. The change in tuna hunting is also shown: today young animals are caught and fattened in cages on the coast. In addition, the production of fish fingers on a factory ship is shown.
