Slaughterhouse Exposed

[Guest guest]

Here is a news item from Dixie Mahy, President SFVS

 

Reporter Dan Noyes of the ITeam exposed the inhumane policies of

Westland Meat Co with video tapings from an undercover agent from the

HSUS that was aired on the 11 o'clock news Wednesday eve, January 30th

2008. The explicit video showed downed cows being dragged and prodded

to their slaughter because they were too weak to walk. In addition to

the inhumane treatment of these animals, their meat would not be very

healthy and could contain e-coli, salmonella, and even mad cow diseases.

Congratulations to Wayne Pacelle, President of HSUS, for sponsoring

the filming and Dan Noyes for airing the segment.

 

Dan Noyes received an award from SFVS and UUFETA two years ago for his

animal cruelty investigations re: cruelty to ducks and pate which

brought awareness to the dining public of the inhumane practices

involved in creating this gourmet treat.

 

 

UPDATE:

Jack O'Connell State Superintendent of Ed. has suspended the use of

beef in all of the state schools purchased from Westland Meat Co.

because of their use of downed cows in their slaughterhouse. The

update was aired on ABC News TV at 11 p.m. on Jan 31 as a followup of

the filmed expose' featured Jan 30. The reason given was not the

inhumane treatment of the animals but the use of their meat which may

be diseased. More information may be seen on their web site:
