Human Food Recall

In case you haven't heard, the largest beef recall ever was done yesterday because of downed cows, or cows to sick or week to walk, being slaughtered and introduced into our food chain. We know about tainted dog and cat food, but did you think humans were safe? The FDA hasn't changed their laws in 100 years. Can you imagine what might be in the food you're eating? I'm not real fond of HSUS, but this is ridiculous.
Very graphic images.

I think this is BS, personally.

While i would rather grow and raise my own means and veggies, i am forced to eat all this processed stuff anyways.
more reason to go organic!

 

What part of it looks like BS to you? Cows willingly being drug and forklifted? I want to know how you can fake that...

 

I havent read this artical yet....but you cant just pick up livestock. When a cow goes down there down most times for the count.

 

Exactly, that's what I'm saying. They can't stand so they are being pushed, drug and tortured. And we are eating the feces tainted and probably diseased meat. You can't fake a cow not standing up! :rolleyes:
As I stated, I am not a big believer of HSUS, but I don't think this video is doctored either.

 

The HSUS needs to step off. They are as bad as Peta . That spokeperson has obviously never worked large animal. You cant just kill those animals where they fall.

How about some accountability for every sick animal that comes out of a HSUS facility!

 

How they handle that meat is another deal....gross!

 

wow that is gross. They are treating the cows like trash And to top it off we might have this tainted beef.

 

Just an update. Ground beef was pulled from schools in 7 county's here in SC. Not because it had made anyone sick, but because it wasn't slaughtered under the conditions that the FDA specifies.

 

thats what i was going to ask is how many ppl saw that video? and they complain aout dogs,,,, ppl should be forced to watch it and then we'll talk dogs with them,,,, i told ya'll that the real deal in the slaughter houses are 100 times worst,,,,, i think they should publicize it,,,,these rinkey dink dog things will stop,,lol,,,

 

A different view HERE

Just to look at things from a different angle.....

The Elephants In HSUS’s Living Room

As fallout from the nation’s largest beef recall continues to float through newsrooms and school districts, Americans have begun to ask hard questions about the safety of our beef supply and the character of the people who bring it to market. We have a few questions of our own.

First, why did the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) sit on its shock-value video for several months? The group has claimed that it spent six weeks “investigating” a Chino, California slaughterhouse and two more weeks looking at the videotapes before giving authorities “extra time” to weigh their options. HSUS also insists that it “is the last entity that would ever want to sit on the results; we had no incentive to do so. We were methodical in how we handled the investigation, and how we publicized it, too.”

We’re not buying it. An organization interested in the welfare of cattle would have taken the very first example of animal abuse it found, the very day it was filmed, and showed it to the plant manager. “Clean up your act today and fire these few employees,” a responsible advocate would have said, “or the Sheriff will be our next stop.”

The drawback of this approach for HSUS, of course, is that no fundraising bonanza would result. (How’s that for an “incentive” for being “methodical” instead of acting with urgency?) And Californians wouldn’t have been politically sensitized to the issues wrapped up in a coming ballot initiative to ban farm-animal-handling practices HSUS doesn’t like. (HSUS has already put over $1.4 million into the effort).

Reacting immediately might not have helped HSUS, but the animals going through that slaughterhouse in the last few months would certainly have been much better off. Remember them, HSUS? The animals?

One other nagging question. HSUS president Wayne Pacelle told the Associated Press yesterday that he chose this particular slaughterhouse at random. What he hasn’t said, though, is how many facilities his workers had to infiltrate before they found one with a problem worth videotaping.

Could it be that HSUS has been planting employees inside California meatpackers since June 2003, when the group first floated the idea of an animal-rights ballot initiative in the Golden State? Inquiring minds want to know. Especially since it now looks like the current problem was the exception—not the rule.

 

Its the fucking idiots like these clowns that bring heat on everyone who owns an animal. If the damn dogs and cats arent sitting at the dinner table with the family its CRUEL. Gaaaaaaawd these people should be drawn and quartered in front of their parents.
