How Do They Do It, and WHY?

[Guest guest]

Here in Meat Land it's worse than just smelling the fried meat on Fast

Food Row every time one drives that way, due to two other horrors that

exist near-by -- a rendering plant UP WIND, and the stock-yards /

slaughter houses in the middle of the city.

 

Try smelling THOSE and wanting to eat meat -- and yet, daily, most people

here do just that.

 

Talk about amazing. And disgusting.

Ugh! That sounds horrible; I cannot even imagine how

bad it must be in the summer months.

I feel for you. J.R. Simplot has a meat rendering

plant in Nampa, a town about 15 minutes from Boise. I

don't have to drive past it often, since it isn't on a

main road or anything, but when I do have to drive by,

it literally makes me gag. It smells like death and

decay.

 

This particular plant is also a slaughterhouse, and I

actually know someone who works on the kill floor, in

the offal area, and still eats meat. Amazing and

disturbing.

That is disturbing!

You know how when the police and people in the justice

system describe the worst sort of killer as a " butcher " ,

at least on TV shows they do. *lol* Well, you can surely

understand why.

My acquaintence that is a " meat cutter " for a large

grocery store chain always corrects me if I slip and

refer to him as a butcher 'cause he says the butchers

are the ones that kill the animals; then it is my turn to

correct him by saying, " no. butchers murder the animals. "

And it isn't just that either. As if that all weren't bad

enough, there is a great deal of wastefulness going on

behind the scenes, too. He described to me how he had

to literally throw away 100s of fresh turkeys that didn't

sell over the holidays! So those animals were and still

are often murdered for nothing but to end up in a

dumpster!
