Well, they did a good job. That was truly sickening.

I have no idea how to combat that video. Who let them in
to get the pictures? Of course, it is sensationalized, but pictures
don't lie...do they?

This is shocking. I hope everyone here watches that video.
I will email it to our Montana Stockgowers.

I watched it and some of it shocked me and other parts while not pleasant are the way things are done. I have never seen people toss birds into crates like that though. Looked like it was an accident or something. ( I don't have sound so I was just guessing) Large plants are not pretty but they are what they are. Until people want to pay more for meat not much can be done about industrialized farming methods. I still like to think that my meat is grown out in the feild in little cellophane packets. denial is working for me so far....

I sure wish Alex would come for a visit at calving time or branding. He'd get his eyes opened up and it sure would be fun to watch him!

I do thinkthat there are better methods to do some of the jobs they showed. Pay more for you food and we can change a lot.

This is what our state and national orginizations should be fighting. Mad

I wish they would have shown a movie of a boy being circumsized. Mad

Judith- I have to agree with a lot you say...

We have no one to blame for them people like PETA getting those pictures except ourselves!!! Say what?

Back in the day when the factory hog farms were big around here- I saw the same- hogs that couldn't walk- hogs dying daily in the heat- loader tractor burying them daily-- hogs that I wouldn't even want to eat because the muscle looked so soft - that were being sold as premium labeled stuff, because of that reason.... PETA would have a hay day at the Hoot colonies with their factory hog barns - and watching them haul out the thousands of dead chickens (truckload after truckload) they throw a year from their layer factories......
Then we allow every hormone and steroid to be stuck in cattle for growth or so dairy cows are old after 3-4 milk cycles......

As we let Big Business get more and more control it will get worse... I have one neighbor that I could make a living off the number of bred calves, heifers, or cows I find that die in calving or for other doctorable reasons every year only if they were watched a little- but its cheaper and easier just to get more leases and more cattle than take care of them-- the new way of the future.... Sad Mad

It looks like a very old video to me.
