Have I got stories for you......about the kill floors!

Mopac......a beef company about 20 miles from us.......hubby has worked there twice (blown up rock on their land) to expand their operation of beef production. Horror stories of the kill floor abound! Sounds from the cattle as they walk the ramp and such (I'll spare you the details as I don't like to think about it either).

Hatfield........a pork company about 15-20 miles from us........I know a few people who thought they could work on the kill floor........but they couldn't! Takes a rare person to work there all day and go home with no guilt what-so-ever!

And Fussy? Where do you think chicken breasts and thighs and wings come from....huh? (he likes chicken......lol!.....shhhhhhhhh! don't tell him!)

I have to admit, neither Hatfield or Mopac have stooped to the horrors of what we learned in this thread. They don't raise their animals in such abhorrent conditions...(though I know these practices exist elsewhere). These animals aren't pets either.....they are raised specifically for consumption. To choose NOT to eat them is one persons perogative........as is, the choice to eat them!

Plants are alive (but they have no faces) yet we eat them everyday!

If it isn't grown.......it has to be mined!

Really tough subject Fussy! Kinda like the bible and politics!

*hugs for the awareness factor*
