I love the style of the short film below. My mum encounter similar experiences with pigs when she was young. In Singapore, we never have any closeness with "food" animals. The show's simplicity reminds me of the slow and relaxing times I had whenever I stayed at my Granny's house in Malaysia - a stark contrast to the pace of life here in Singapore. Alienated from animals doomed for our plates on top of the stress from the fast pace of life, it is no wonder why little thought is given to our food. I am glad shan made this video, it's shows us very important aspects of life.

An excellent video, and reminds me of my Tamilian friend who turned vegetarian after seeing a goat killed. A similar event happened to one of the characters in my Tamil book. Seems to be a common theme. :-)
