What are you feeding your children?



So here you can see for yourself how horrible these animals are treated. I just don't think this is acceptable.

I came across this document about a workshop called
What to do about downer cows?
Workshop looks at a question whose answer is more complex than ever.
Read the pamphlet here
It's like pages from a twilight zone story on how to humanly kill a cow and how to tread downers and all the verbiage is just so eerie to me, considering we are talking about living beings.

They show this old lady practicing a bold stun gun devise on a bale of hay and I am thinking "Is she going to actually use this?" Considering their own description of how precise you have to be in placing this bold in the right spot to actually stun teh animal, and that you have to use the correct bolt size etc etc I can see why this is just not realistic. To actually pretent that there is anything humane in they way we kill these beings is being willfully blind to their suffering and to reality. When you compare the text, description with the reality of some of what we see in the video above you see that everything looks good on paper but in reality its a whole different story!

Judge for yourself.
