Cow Abuse
The title may sound a bit funny especially when you think of tipping a cow over (lol) but I assure you, it's not a matter to be laughed at, especially how this affects us. Cows have been reported to be abused in the San Bernandino county (California) at the Chino slaughterhouse and a case has been filed.
State and Federal regulations make it illegal to slaughter sick or injured cows that cannot stand on their own. Yet still, they've been packing meat from cows that have been abused with tasers to the head, dragged with fork lifts, break their legs, and other cruelty. This is just barbaric with what they've done to these passive, harmless, defenseless animals.
Now, the problem with this is that the risk of diseases are elevated if the cow is considered or is a "downer". Have you ever though of how many hamburgers are made of one cow? Cows are pretty big so I'm guessing a lot. Imagine if one cow had a disease and was slaughtered, processed, etc..., do you have any idea how many people will be eating from that sick cow? Thats nasty! That's just one cow though. What if there were 100 sick cows? 1000? Get where I'm going with this? Also, about half a million servings of beef are served in just Los Angeles to schools, served to little kids. Of course, the state officials are trying to resolve this problem. One precaution they took was throwing away 143,000,000 pounds of meat. That's a tremendous amount of meat wasted and must be a huge quantity of cows killed for no purpose but to be disposed of in the end.
What's funny is that the USDA inspectors never saw any of this treatment. They must have hid their doings pretty good but I mean really good because the inspector came at two times a day: 6am and noon and stayed there for an 1hr to an 1hr. 30min. I'm not sure how long this was going for though.
I found this to be very interesting and very repulsive at the same time. These acts were extremely cruel with no motive and was meaningless in the end and it could harm several people if not already done so.
These are some links that I based this piece of writing on:
