Guest guest Posted April 20, 2001 Report Share Posted April 20, 2001 IBP SLAUGHTERHOUSE IS FREE OF CHARGE !!!!! SLAUGHTERHOUSE SKINNING ANIMALS IS OK !!!!! THE PROSECUTING ATTORNEY JIM NAGLE OK'D IBP SKINNING, CUTTING, BURNING, CHOPPING ANIMALS ALIVE !!!!!! Dear Caring Friend , The world's largest slaughterhouse IBP is free and laughing hard at the animal rights activists and animals concerned citizens !!! They have been skinning millions of animals alive, cutting both of their feet off while fully conscious hanging their more than 1000 pounds painful twisted body in the air .. Burning and drowning pigs alive ......... All of these are beyond criminal ! They are set free . IBP had been contacting Prosecuting Attorney tightly before he set IBP free according to the insiders. The corruption is highly possible according to some senior concerned people .. Please let's all write to the following important people to file our very serious complaints : KEY POINTS IN YOUR LETTER : 1: We are extremely disappointed that Walla Walla County Prosecutor Jim Nagle who set IBP free. Mr. Nagle simply pushed all of the concrete evidence away and said there was insufficient evidence to bring criminal charges against the South Dakota-based company. 2: Humane Farming Association had submitted such clear and secret documentary video taken by the IBP own employees and numerous of of testimony. How could such clear " undercover " video showed " INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE " in Prosecuting Attorney Jim Nagle's eyes ? The video clearly showed that IBP company clearly skinning numerous cattle alive and dismembering their body while they are fully conscious...everyday , everyhour. It even showed the electric prod stick to the cattle's tongue. If the cattle was dead , the IBP would have no need to do that . Mr. Jim Nagle is obvious a someone who has no compassion towards animals suffering and an obvious pro-IBP person. 3: There are many citizens very concerned and have long been suspicious the highly possible Corruption and Bribing between IBP and Walla Walla Prosecuting Attorney Jim Nagle. In the past, one of his staff members revealed that IBP had been in tight connection with Attorney Jim Nagle. Recently, some people had called Prosecuting Attorney Jim Nagle's office. But the staff members are clearly instructed NOT to reveal any word on IBP case even though the Associated Press already issued that Jim Nagle did not prosecute the case. Some of his staff members even hung up the concerned people's phone calls . 4: The IBP investigation is not just from Humane Farming Association but also from The Washington Post which had spent ten months investigation on the country's animal cruelty in numerous slaughterhouses including IBP too. Please click following article to read Washington Post article : " THEY DIE PIECE BY PIECE " on April 9 , 2001 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A60798-2001Apr9.html On page 7 of the above article, it stated : ' ...The company(IBP) also questioned workers and offered a reward for information leading to identification of those responsible for the video. One worker said IBP pressured him to sign a statement denying that he had seen live cattle on the line.(the killing line). 'I knew that what I wrote wasn't true, " said the worker, who did not want to be identified for fear of losing his job. " Cows still go alive every day. When cows go alive, it's because they don't give me time to kill them. " Washington state officials launched a probe in May(in 2000) that included an unannounced plant inspection. The investigators say they were DETAINED OUTSIDE THE FACILITY FOR AN HOUR while their identities were checked. They saw no acts of animal cruelty once permitted inside. " 5: Dave Carney, an USDA meat inspector for nearly 2 decades in both red meat and poultry plants, and was chairman of the National Joint Council of Food Inspection Locals had signed affidavits and stated : " Large slaughtering operations are primarily concerned with productivity and profits. They are not even killing animals. They are disassembling them, processing raw materials in a manufacturing operation. To keep the killing line moving fast, uncooperative animals are beaten, they have prods poked in their faces and up their rectums, they have bones broken and eyeballs poked out... Some animals are simply beaten to death...Some even reach various stages of the slaughtering process alive. They have their hooves cut off, parts of their bung and their cavities opened... ...... It occurs in swine. It occurs in beef. It occurs in calves, sheep. All species ! The Humane Slaughter Act is a regulation on paper only. It is simply not being enforced. " (refer to " Slaughterhouse " by Gail Eisnitz, P. 188--189 ) 6: Many meat inspection high level officers in USDA are corrupted with the meat industry. They deny any animals cruelty case in slaughterhouses. They are trying to cover themselves for the future so when they retire they can get a job as a consultant. Many of the former training officers, area supervisors, regional directors, agency administrators, Washington staff officers moved directly into meat industry jobs as high pay consultants, according to Dr. Lester Friedlander's signed testimony, who worked for USDA as a Veterinarian for more a decade. (refer to " Slaughterhouse " by Gail Eisnitz, P. 205--P. 212 ) 7: We are requesting you to Replace the Prosecuting Attorney Jim Nagle with other prosecuting Attorney who is " CLEAN " and has compassion and justice for millions of animals plight in the slaughterhouses. Because as long as Jim Nagle is in the public office, the prosecution of the extreme animals cruelty will never be possible. Millions of animals skinned alive will never even have one chance to go to the court. Mr. Nagle is NOT the prosecuting attorney for the public . He is highly possible the hired attorney for IBP company behind the closed door . IN our view, he just can not handle the public prosecution with justice any more. Many people are very disappointed at Washington State Attorney General Christine Gregoire too. She has been showing her lack of enthusiasm and interests in the case and pushing it to the small county prosecuting attorney after thousands of concerned citizens writing to her all over the country and begging her to prosecute the most cruel case ever in this country. According to some people , Ms. Gregoire was under the pressure from IBP and she just simply pushed the IBP case away . 8: Please PROSECUTE IBP COMPANY NOW. At least please bring this most serious case to the Court and let the Judge to decide whether they are guilty or not after their skinning millions of animals alive in all of these years. 9: If IBP company is not even charged legally, we will really be disappointed and outraged at Washington State's Injustice. And we will have no choice but to stop traveling to your State forever. We will never buy your product and services from Washington State . And we will also spread the words on IBP's extreme Animal Cruelty in Washington State to all of our members and friends. 10: I'm politely demanding a response from you on this most serious matter. Again, we are looking forward to hearing from you as soon as possible. Please do not forget to sign your name, address, city, state and zip , country.

(AP) -- No criminal charges will be filed against meatpacking giant IBP after an 11-month investigation into allegations of inhumane slaughter of cattle, and worker and food safety violations at IBP's Wallula meat processing plant. The inquiry was prompted by a hidden-camera videotape of cattle struggling on a slaughterhouse chain at the IBP plant in Wallula in southeast Washington. Walla Walla County Prosecutor Jim Nagle said Wednesday there was insufficient evidence to bring criminal charges against the South Dakota-based company. ``We are pleased this matter has reached a conclusion,'' IBP said in a statement. ``The outcome confirms that our company has been unfairly portrayed by these activist groups over the past year.'' http://library.northernlight.com/ED20010418800000028.html?cb=0 & dx=1006 & sc=0# doc ====================================== Thanks for your kindness, compassion and help.
