Fully agree.
I only recently became vegan after watching videos about the conditions inside dairy and egg farms (after being veggie for some time). It's so easy to never know what's it's like inside.
There was a bunch of people protesting outside a local abattoir recently, I didn't even know it was there! I have a feeling the slaughter industry is deliberately very quiet because exposure to the realities of it would make huge numbers of people reconsider their consumption. The issue is, if you try to show people the reality, the reaction is rarely "I need to stop supporting this industry " and is so commonly "why have you exposed me to this footage".
There has to be a happy medium of getting the information out there, without becoming a clichéd militant vegan.
