Beef Recall and Slaughterhouse Cruelty Video, Cattle and Cows Get the Worst
2008-02-19 12:09:00 In the new about the beef recall along with that a slaughterhouse cruelty video going around on the news. It is disturbing and sad on how cattle are slaughtered. I think out all the animals that go through the process of becoming our food supply they get the worst treatment. Because some people don?t get as upset about slaughter treatment to cow as they do for a horse for example. Some think cows as dumb animals so then they think they have the right to treat them unkindly. But they are not dumb at all they feel emotions just like other animals they deserved to be treated with value. Glad this video has surfaced I have been aware of treatment of cattle in slaughterhouse for many years. It so awful and inhumane with what they have to go through. Something needs to change with this process if it was not for the cow we would not have food along with they provide us so much more. They deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. I know this is not an easy process nothing good comes ...

Sea Cows at Sunset
2008-02-12 23:21:00 As many of you know, the sexual desperation of pirates and sailors is the reason for myths about mermaids. For centuries, historians and biologists have been telling us about how lonely seamen created mermaid tales when they thought they were seeing lovely topless women in the water, but were actually staring at various types of sea cows. It may be hard to believe that a person could mistake a sea cow, such as a dugong or manatee, for a topless woman. (Today, here on the West Coast, sea cows can be found at Sunset, usually riding an 8-year-old Becker of some sort. They arrive at Sunset in a Honda Pilot or similar vehicle. They travel in groups. They had sex with each other, more or less, the night before. Thankfully, they are not topless.) It all makes more sense once you?ve seen the kind of women pirates managed to have sex with. For most pirates, switching to sex with sea cows was, at worst, a lateral move. And in some ways, sex with a sea cow was a step up. For example, sea...

USDA CLOSES PLANT SUSPECTED OF SLAUGHTERING DOWNER COWS
2008-02-07 14:40:00 Humane Society video sparks mad cow fearsThe U.S. Department of Agriculture has ordered the closing of the Hallmark Meat Packing Co. plant in Chino, California, where animal rights activists said they videotaped "downer" cows being prepared for slaughter.Cows that cannot stand up are banned from the food supply because it is a primary characteristic of an animal with Mad Cow disease. The Humane Society of the U.S. says it obtained video evidence that workers at the plant repeatedly attempted to force "downed" animals onto their feet and into the human food chain.Undersecretary of Agriculture for Food Safety, Dr. Richard Raymond, says the Food Safety and Inspection Service has suspended inspections at the plant "based on the establishment's clear violation of Federal regulations and the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act."The plant had been closed voluntarily since the video first surfaced and USDA launched an investigation.

Anthrax kills cows even as West Bengal battles bird flu
2008-02-06 09:45:00 Atleast 13 cows have died of anthrax in West Bengal's Siliguri District even as the state administration battles bird flu. The Animal Resource Development (ARD) laboratory in Cooch Behar district confirmed the presence of anthrax bacteria in blood samples taken from seven of the 13 cattle that had died in Bhojanerechhara village. The Siliguri district administration undertook an intensive vaccination drive in adjoining villages. Officials are taking care to bury the dead cattle in pits eight feet deep to prevent the spread of the infectious disease. Villagers said the dead cows stopped giving milk, suffered from fever and died after bleeding from the mouth, all symptoms of anthrax bacillus infection. "My cow was suffering from loose motion and fever. It will be difficult to survive if something happens to my cow," said Atul Roy, a resident of Bhojanerechhara. In nearby Jotpathi village, seven cows had died. In June last year, two persons died of anthrax in Murshidabad di...

Are you supposed to waterboard cows?
2008-01-31 21:52:00 There is a lot of buzz on the 'net today about the video that the Humane Society took inside Hallmark Meat Packing, where workers are shown abusing downer cows as a means of getting their sick carcasses to the slaughter line. The video is sad, disgusting, and when you consider that this company is a major supplier for school lunches, downright scary. (link: Video of animal abuse at Hallmark Meat packing - be warned it is graphic)Downer cows are excluded from the food supply for a very good reason: they just might have Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) commonly known as, mad cow disease. There's also that pesky problem of contamination (e. coli, salmonella) from rolling around in the feces and other muck while they are being poked and prodded (by a forklift and high-powered water hoses in their noses, in this case) to slaughter. Makes it a bit clearer why we keep seeing e. coli in the burger, now doesn't it? As Rick Weiss discusses in his Washington Post article Video Reveal...

Up to 40 nozzles along the unit's 3m (10ft) length spray the animals' feet with water and cleaning. Danish dairy farmers worried about digital dermatitis in their cows' feet should soon have a new option, and that's to fit this foot-washing unit from Morch Teknic on the exit to the parlour. Up to 40 nozzles along the unit's 3m (10ft) length spray the animals' feet with water and soap solution and the waste water is recycled and can be reused for up to a week. Cost in Denmark is about £10,000. Fellow Danish firm Klovplejeboksen offers a similar unit called the Bovibooster, though this is specifically designed to operate on the exit from a robot milker. Like the the Morch unit, it uses jets of warm water and soap to clean the cows' feet.

Weird Facts: Sweden To Study Belching Cows
2008-01-22 13:42:00 Tired of bullshit ?! - Post your own weird factsweird facts(AP) A Swedish university has received 3.8 million kronor $590,000) in research funds to measure the greenhouse gases released when cows belch.About 20 cows will participate in the project run by the Swedish University for Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala, about 40 miles north of Stockholm, officials said Monday.Cattle release methane, a greenhouse gas believed to contribute to global warming, when they digest their food. Researchers believe the level of methane released depends on the type of food the eat.Project leader Jan Bertilsson said that the cows involved in the study will have different diets and wear a collar device measuring the methane level in the air around them."This type of research is already being conducted in Canada so we will be in contact with Canadian agricultural researchers in the near future," he said.The research will be funded by a grant from the government's Swedish Research Council for Environme...

I wonder if you were allowed to move the ball for a cow pat
2008-01-19 14:56:00 I learned today that Australias first golf course was in a cow paddock in Adelaide. Having grown up in and around St Andrews, the home of golf it is nice to know that I have an Antipodean parallel. On opening day twenty foundation members "of status and wealth", all of whom sported traditional red coats, joined a varied assortment of Adelaide citizenry who had turned up "to see the fun". In those long-gone days anything out of the ordinary, which was participated in by so-called "Swells", was considered amusing by thr lower strata of society."The first games were played in the presence of a highly amused gallery. If a player missed the ball the crowd roared. If he hit it, they laughed just the same - on principle it seemed. But the crowd soon tired of the novelty and the golfers were left in peace as far as the gallery went." A further hazard was the presence of young boys who, despite the engagement of fore-caddies by the players, stole many of the expensive "feathery" balls...A gr...

Nightly Ramble: Cows, Bull, Freedom,and other verbage
2008-01-11 05:21:00 Another Honorable mention at the udderly ridicowlus version of OTB’s caption contest. Speaking of OTB, Joyner is running a headline…Huckabee and Al Qaeda Oppose Guantánamo.And James? Huckabee is dead wrong here. This should end his WH run, far as I’m concerned. Look, Billy I agree with most of what you say about the ‘experiment’ nonsense. And Kim is unfocused on the subject, at least. But look, did the founders figure they were going to see the full fruit of their labors? Did they figure their children would? The answer of course, is ‘no’. So yes, being patient is, in fact, part of the deal. By the way, stopping a socialist “tide” is an interesting metaphor, given the slow and almost un-noticable movement of the tide, (unless you’re in a place like say, Fundy.) The awful truth is we didn’t get to this level of infusion of socialism all at a go. It’s not going to go away all at a go, either. Even the war w...
