It showed a pen full of little piglets, next to a butcher. When people came up to buy sausages, he would grab one of the piglets, put it in a grinder, and produce "fresh" sausage. People were totally horrified, screaming stuff like OMG he's killing that piglet! Duh, what do people think happens in slaughterhouses? Of course it was parody, but, at least to me, sent a very powerful message about how we are emotionally detached from eating meat and the suffering sentient animals go through to land up on our plates.
