The basis of the story is that HSUS has a tape from a particular
slaughterhouse with employees beating on "downed" cows. So large
businesses are banning/boycotting meat from this particular
slaughterhouse.
Does anyone else see how this is missing the bigger picture??
A few days ago I was reading some depressing free peninsula newspaper
and came across a story of a cow that was "still at large" after
escaping from a San Mateo County slaughterhouse. (If the paper wasn't
already burned, I would offer you more info and a link, I don't even
remember the name of the paper.)
Only a one time occurrence? Lets see what google has to say:
http://www.google.com/search?q=cow+escapes+from+slaughterhouse
Is HSUS's video the first showing torture of sick/injured cows? NO. Of
any cows? NO.
Is the "Humane Slaughter Act" a joke to begin with? YES.
What the hell do people think happens normally for cows all over the
world? Ban meat from one slaughterhouse? As if the others
slaughterhouses are filled with dandelions and rainbows??
Give me a fucking break.
Don't kill.
