"The cruelty is horrendous. I would rather not have any meat products at all if it saved the animals."
Debbie Clark, 32, of Thurmaston, said: "I do like meat, but I do like animals.
"My thoughts on eating meat have possibly changed. But I was thinking about it before I watched the film anyway.
"I have health problems so I need to eat meat, but I wish I could be vegetarian."
The Meat Wagon has been travelling around the country over the summer.
Animal Aid spokesman Kate Fowler said: "Our film shines a spotlight on what animals endure so people can eat meat. I think those who watch it will be horrified.
"They must ask themselves – am I a meat eater or am I an animal lover?"

“I'm a meat eater, but do not condone cruelty. I am happy for an animal to be killed so I can eat it, but it doesn't have to suffer before that point, that doesn't make sense. If this however is just a campaign to get people to stop eating meat by a group of veggies, I wish them all the luck because they going to need it. Humans are meant to eat meat, it's as natural as fish swimming in the sea, or the rain falling from the sky. No one will ever have the ability convince me otherwise.”
