Processed Food By Lusea Lu / July 5, 2015 Smithfield Foods is America and the world’s largest pork producer and processor. Since 2012, “Speciesism: The Movie” director Mark Devries has been secretly using spy drones to investigate and expose the environmental devastation caused by factory farms. In this video, the drones capture shocking aerial footage of several massive facilities that supply pigs for Smithfield Foods. Behind the Factory Farm Drone Investigation Videos Filmmaker Mark Devries of Speciesism: The Movie began developing the plan to use drones on farms in 2012, when a Georgetown Law student suggested the idea at a sneak-preview screening of Speciesism: The Movie. Countless technical problems and cost overruns delayed the project nearly three years, with the series finally being released starting with this video’s publication in late-2014. Worldwide Reaction to the First-Ever Factory Farm Drone Investigation Within a few weeks of its release, this video had been viewed by millions worldwide, and received major global press coverage. The video continues to be viewed around the world. The Future of Drones on Farms Mark says he will continue to investigate factory farms with the use of drones, and will continue releasing videos with the findings of his investigations.
