- Every year in the US, 35 million cattle are slaughtered
and eaten. I challenge the television news media to produce, in dying
color, a full documentary of a US slaughterhouse and broadcast it as a
prime time news documentary. It is many decades past time for adults and
children to SEE and HEAR the slaughterhouse and confront what it really
is they are eating and what they are sustaining by their purchases. Don't
worry, you'll never have to watch such a program... and you know exactly
why. Don't worry, be happy, and just keep in mind all those smiling happy
cartoon cow faces when you bite into that hormone, pesticide, herbicide,
cancer-causing, heart attack priming hamburger or steak...which might also
just have a dash of prion seasoning. Since you won't be seeing such a
documentary any time soon, you can at least read books like 'Slaughterhouse'...available
at bookstores. And how about that cute milk moustache ad campaign? For
the real, deadly truth about milk, butter, yogurt, ice cream and all that
deeelicious cheeeese, do drop by Robert Cohen's notmilk.com and do a little
reading. If you dare. -ed

- They Shoot Calves, Don't They?

- Our American Mad Cow gave birth to a calf before she
was slaughtered. The baby is now one-month old. Mom delivered her child,
and then had the worst case of post partum bovine depression in American
history. What to do with her baby?
-
- Kill her, says USDA and FDA.
-
- The problem is, which calf is she? At the same time bovina-x
was born, so were 450 others from that same farm. Today, they celebrate
their one-month birthday. USDA and FDA do not want to do simple DNA testing,
which would immediately reveal the identity of Mad Mom's babe. Instead,
all are to die by a bureaucrat's stamp. Why? Because a creative publicist
within FDA or USDA has determined that Americans will feel safer if a few
(thousand) animals are killed. Such a measure would be cleansing to meat
eaters. It will deceive meat eaters into believing that America's meat
is now safe to eat. Kill a few so that many millions more can die. Even
the innocent animals will die. Unfairly.
-
- Today, their lives are to end.
-
- As you read this, they are corralled in an undisclosed
Washington state holding pen. Let the slaugter begin. They will all die
together.
-
- You would not want to hear their cries. The Silence of
the Calves. Many thousands more wait to be sacrificed. Their bodies are
to be incinerated. The evidence is to be destroyed. The greatest irony
is that none of the animals are to be autopsied. Their brians will not
be tested. These are not calves. They are sacrificial lambs.
