Beef Recalled
This one is sort of obvious. Humane Society runs an undercover camera into a slaughterhouse and captures a video allegedly showing cows being abused. What is surprising is that the stolen video resulted in the local prosecutor charging a manager with felony animal cruelty, and now, how prompted the USDA to issue the biggest meat recall on record:
“We don’t know how much product is out there right now. We don’t think there is a health hazard, but we do have to take this action,” said Dr. Dick Raymond, USDA Undersecretary for Food Safety.Federal officials suspended operations at Westland/Hallmark after an undercover video from the Humane Society of the United States surfaced showing crippled and sick animals being shoved with forklifts.
Two former employees were charged Friday. Five felony counts of animal cruelty and three misdemeanors were filed against a pen manager. Three misdemeanor counts — illegal movement of a non-ambulatory animal — were filed against an employee who worked under that manager. Both were fired.
So, let’s see what this is all about, watch the video on You Tube
