The human meat tray demonstration is a shocking image to remind people that whether it's a person, cow, pig, or chicken - flesh is flesh. Before they end up wrapped in cellophane, chickens and turkeys have their throats slit while still fully conscious and scalded alive, pigs have their teeth, tails, and testicles removed without painkillers, and cows are often skinned alive at the slaughterhouse. It's appalling to think of slaughtering and eating a human being, but animals have the same capacity to feel pain and suffering, joy and love just like us. They have personalities and emotions, and form families and friendships if given the chance. Pigs and chickens are more intelligent than dogs and cats, yet are abused in ways that would be illegal if cats and dogs were the victims.
