The meat recall? Has anyone WATCHED that video?
Just a comment here...the issue isn't really the "safety" of the meat, it's about cruelty. These animals get SO SICK during their captive lives that they end up losing the ABILITY TO WALK. Did anyone see that cow trying to "run" from the forklift by "running" on his ankles? I think even though the language and law of the recall invokes safety for humans, it was really done to punish the company for cruelty. These animals are already in enough pain and distress - how can USING A FORKLIFT to move a crippled, terrified, screaming animal be acceptable?
I mean...and how come they get to the point of not being able to walk in the first place? How come this happens so much that there seems to be a well-thought-out and regularly-imposed set of guidelines (not the forklift variety) for "what to do when the cow can't walk?"
I've been veg before...I think I'm going back. Or at least eat only eat meat from places where the animals don't suffer so much. Maybe only eat meat I hunt (too many deer around...) Anyone with me?
(I'm not condemning those who aren't...just want to know if anyone...anyone out there is affected by this)
****Or anyone got a local butcher that gets meat from people who treat their animals well? REALLY well? I'd be willing to eat much less meat and pay through the nose for it. I like my beans anyway.

Possibly beaten, maybe stabbed a couple of times for funzies.

Ok yeah who wouldn't be affected by it (I *think* that was sarcasm?).

Although, now that Poe puts it that way, I'd like to stab him a few times and grill his flank for dinner. You know, fer funzies.
Mmmmmm, Poe steak. Where's the A1.
Naw, not even that juicy thought will tempt me. Still going veg.
