What
do you do with a sick cow? Feed it to the kids, of course!
The
Humane Society went undercover and discovered that cattle
too sick to walk, are dragged off to slaughter. If cattle are
killed
before they die of an illness, then they are snuck into the
food system. Sick animals are not to be put directly
into
the human food
system. However, in spite of claims that sick 'downers' were
being eliminated from the food supply, downed animals may be
falling
through
the cracks as a result of poor oversight, anemic enforcement,
and a loophole created by inconsistent agency regulations
What's horrifying is that these cows are literally dragged
and shocked with
electric prods when
they
can't
walk.
Ramming them with forklifts. Even forcing water down their
throats -- right out of the manual on waterboarding.
The
shocking undercover investigation revealed these and other
abuses of "downed" dairy cows -- those who
are too sick or injured to walk -- at a Southern California slaughter
plant. And The Humane Society of the United States’ investigation
also discovered that the meat from these tortured animals gets
fed to children through the National School Lunch Program!
