Working and attending school, I miss much of the mainstream news, but anyone within hearing can not miss seeing the 'downer cow' harvest footage shot by a Humane Society worker undercover at a slaughterhouse in Chino, California. Kinda makes those "come to California" ads put on a different slant, just like knowing more about McDonald's makes it difficult to stomach eating a burger with that taste.
What is the taste of a sick cow? How dangerous, frighting and in-humane does our food supply have to become for us to stop doing and allowing these things.
I could not watch the entire thing all the way through - there are several related videos on the humane society's site. Today I was a vegetarian, even if I know that smaller animals died harvesting that food - it's got to be a whole lot better than this - repeated many times over.
Beef Recall - Humane Society Investigation Prompts Record Recall
Warning: Graphic video. An HSUS undercover investigation prompts the USDA to recall 143 million pounds of beef from a California slaughter plant; now HSUS urges Congress to take action.
