Tainted meat
Back from a few days off, and the beef saga seems to be taking center stage in much of today's news.
Obviously, the Daily Bulletin has been all over the story here's a link to their latest, describing the arrest of a Pomona man in connection with the abuse of cows at the facility.
Here's a couple of links to websites directly associated with the Westland/Hallmark Meat Co. saga.
First is the company's most recent statement, here. Second is a Q&A put out by the USDA, here.
Westland/Hallmark is the target of the largest beef meat recall action in U.S. history. In all, 143 million pounds of beef have been recalled by USDA.
The videos depicting how these poor animals were mistreated are sickening to say the least. One could make a good argument for Kosher, Halal or straight vegetarianism after seeing this.
Apparently a lof of this beef went into the federal school lunch program, which provides hot lunches to poor kids.
Nice.
Comments
Beat the employees who did it like they beat the poor animals.
What the hell are wrong with these people?
