There is almost not enough words to say about the situation in Chino, California, in which milk cows were being slaughtered in the most devastating ways possible. Thought vegetarians may be rejoicing, I'm wondering how much emphasis should be put on the story? Also, how long has this been going on at the Hallmark/Westland Meat Packing Company? Are there many more like them?
The difficulty in telling this story is figuring out the best way to display the information plainly, yet passionately, without bias. But then, I suppose that is the same with any story. Plus, there's probably only a few ways to talk about the United States Human Society's videotape showing crippled cows being struck in the face and eyes repeatedly. This action was to motivate the cows to walk towards the slaughterhouse. The inability to walk however, is a sign of mad cow disease, a mental-degenerating ailment caused by misshapen proteins in the animal. Deformed protein occurs when the cows (or any animals) are fed contaminated animal tissue.
Who would be the best candidate to report on this issue most objectively? A vegetarian? A person who works at meat packing company? I honestly don't know. What I do know is that Upton Sinclair is probably rolling in his grave.
