There's a movie from the early '70s called "Prime Cut" with Lee Marvin (and a nude Sissy Spacek in one of her first roles). The opening scene is of cattle being killed in a slaughterhouse and then on through the entire butchering process. If PETA wants to convert America to vegetarianism, all they have to do is show the opening 10 minutes of "Prime Cut" and it will be mission accomplished.
