Eating Well

A video showing California slaughterhouse workers abusing dairy cows -- a violation that raises questions about U.S. food safety -- was released by the Humane Society of the United States on Wednesday.
The video, which one lawmaker said raises questions about the safety of the nation's food supply, shows Hallmark Meat Packing Co. workers administering repeated electric shocks to the downed cows -- animals that are too sick, weak or otherwise unable to stand on their own. Workers are seen kicking cows, jabbing them near their eyes, ramming them with a forklift and shooting high-intensity water up their noses in an effort to force them to their feet for slaughter.
The society says the video was shot last year by an undercover investigator who wore a hidden camera under his clothes when he worked at the facility. Article |

As an animal lover who loves cheeseburgers, I think I'll refrain from viewing.  |

Being a man of weak will, I watched it. My wife is now in tears because she leaned over my shoulder just in time to see it. What the *fudge*? My father in law raises beef cattle and he'd be pissed over this, maybe even more than we are. But it's *feces* like this that makes our pusillanimous state legislature too afraid to pass tough animal cruelty legislation, because they're under the mistaken belief that this is what farming is, and what it has to be. MFH!
