This film documents one of the many points of the "Achilles heel" that currently have slaughterhouses in the world not only in terms of safety but in terms of infrastructure and territorial location or zone, since in this case can see the problem that odors emitted from the facility are causing to residents of the sector.
However, if it is true that the treatment of slaughterhouse wastewater is a central point in the field of health, it is also true that there are other aspects that are of vital importance in this regard. For example: the health status of slaughtered animals, treatment of meat after slaughter, the cooling chain and the state of the physical facilities of the plant.
Unfortunately, the film fails in these respects. But we must consider that mistakes are not intentional. On the contrary, are faults in which regularly falls because of the prevention, mistrust and fear that slaughterhouses have to reveal all procedures performed during the production of meat.
However, this should not be an impediment to "scrutinize" the intimacies of establishments producing meat, since there are several alternatives that may be helpful to do a good job of journalism. One possibility is obtaining the appropriate permission to enter the premises, but announcing it is to write an article on meat production, or, if you prefer, get a job in the establishment to have a more real and direct contact with stage.
no doubt, are "tips" somewhat risky, but in the world of journalism, sometimes, certain hazards must be taken to get to the merits.
Moreover, the documentary presents a reality that definitely is alien to us the situation of sanitation in slaughterhouses in Bogota, far different from the negligence of the entities that are supposed to exercise and enforce control procedures in the production of meat.
In summary, the proposal is good documentary evidence about the lack of control by government agencies responsible for monitoring the health and hygiene in the production process. However, evidence is needed, apart from the treatment of sewage, many other shortcomings that have slaughterhouses.
