PETA Has Message Boards!!!

I'm reconsidering my choice to eat beef now that i'm certain that the government will not enforce their own animal cruelty laws in a meaningful way. A random undercover investigation into just one slaughterhouse uncovered several cases of animal abuse in a single day. These cases have been known for a long time but like the rest of the industry its been 'out of sight... out of mind' most of the time. Hearing the Dept. of Agriculture instantly rally to the defense of the meat industry by stating this was an isolated case of animal abuse makes it clear that the government is serving as the PR wing of the industry and not seriously considering a true investigation and resultant reforms to enforce their own rules for the treatment and movement of downed animals. It is evident that current FDA policies and procedures fail to address the root causes of these everyday cattle abuse cases. Put simply... 1. The workers at these facilities generally do not care about the welfare of animals they are about to slaughter. 2. FDA inspectors spend a fraction of their time 'on the line' and even if they were ordered to spend all their time on the line there is no physical way for one or two onsite inspectors to be in all places at once. So the majority of the time uncaring workers are free of the risk of being caught violating the rules for the treatment of downed or sick animals. There future holds millions of cases of downed anaimals being fork lifted shocked dragged and whacked along their tortuous route to their deaths. The government should mandate complete video surveillance of all areas where live cattle are placed... from delivery to the end of the line. This surveillance would help ensure that no future abuses would remain unseen. Time to shine a constant light on these practices and put an end to this cruelty.

I agree vegan..some of process is in need so that these people cannot just sign in to start all the hating right away...or turn around create a new name be right back at it. You can expect that a few will still come in under the radar but you can accept that. This morning it was total take over!

Looks as if anti peta..anti ARA's have found there way in!

Good so now it WONT TAKE A DAY TO TALK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

namaskar!hello!...to everybody. i here wld like to drw the attention of the organisers tht the free vegetarian kit which is being distributed through out the world free of cost is unable to give fruitful results. the main reason being that the recepies given in them requires those materials which are not available everywhere. so i'ld like to request the organisation to make provission for sending a kit to any person which is compatible to hisher country and location.the products used in those recipes should be very common in hisher country.this will make the best of that kitas there is no point in wasting money. hope this will draw the attention of sum influential people.
