Rampant Animal Cruelty/Tainted Meat Update 3/11/08

Liz I seen this report on the local news yesterday. I wish they would have gave a graphic warning. The video they have is haunting. It hurt me so much to see these animals treated this way

I won't even speak what I think they should do to the people who treated those animals like that

Anna, I know. I was shocked to see it on the 5pm news with no advance
warning.I couldn't bear more than a few minutes of the scenes.

I think the reason it was a local report was because some of the meat
went to Indiana school kids.(probably Ohio too)

Update on this story & a gigantic recall of the beef processed there.

They just showed that on our local news. No warning. I'm still in tears. Those poor cows!!!

I'll probably have nightmares tonight.

The owner of this meat processing plant appeared before a Congressional
panel today & acknowledged his business is ruined because of their unsafe
& cruel handling of sick animals.

Well, I can't say I'm sorry. If he didn't have anyone checking on the process in his plant, he should have checked it himself. Even routine quality control would have caught that.

I'm sorry 220 people will be out of work but someone had to have known what was going on. What about the thousands of people that may come down with some illness 12 years from now. Just no excuse for any company who handles our food supply to be lax in their processing. They should have the strictest standards. If they can't or won't, well, I don't want to eat their products.
