Temple Grandin, in the video posted here, calls for farms and stockyards to post webcams of their lots to help break down the barriers between producers and consumers.  I think she has a point.  You can find a number of farm webcams through a Google search.

In the video, Grandin takes the viewer on a tour of a slaughter plant.  It is graphic.  She talks about the changes made to make the slaughter of cows more humane.  The changes are the ones that she designed to help cows.  I think the video is worth a watch, though you may find it a little long to show in class.  She has many other videos posted on YouTube, including many about Autism.

I hope this post helps.
