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.

PATERSON, N.J. — Police say a 1,400-pound bull that escaped from a northern New Jersey slaughterhouse dragged officers with a lasso down a street and ran 10 blocks before being captured and sedated.
Chief John DeCando, spokesman for Paterson Police's animal control division, says the bull was being unloaded at ENA Meat Packing Inc. when it broke loose just before 8:30 a.m. Monday.
Police tried to corral the bull by lassoing a rope around the animal's neck, but it dragged officers down the street instead.
DeCando says traffic was light during the bull run. He says the area where the officers were dragged was not residential or near a school.
Officers finally corralled the animal and DeCando was able to sedate it.
No injuries were reported. The bull was returned to the slaughterhouse.
