Tag Fact 6: Cows are Evil
2008-12-14 10:38:00 I have a thing about cows. In my ideal life, I would never be anywhere near a cow since I'm a city girl and they just don't thrive on pavement. But here in the UK, they seem to be everywhere. Go to a park in the city in the summer and, for some unknown reason, there are cows at the summer fairs. Try to go to a historic site, and you have to walk through a field of cows to get there. Ugh. I just don't like cows.All we do with cows is use them. For milk, for meat, for leather. When was the last time you saw a cow who was having a good time? Frolicking in a field with its mates? Doing anything other than standing around, looking innocent, but secretly planning with its fellow bovines how to get back at the humans who have taken advantage of them for all of these years?Think about it the next time you have to walk through a field and the person who owns it says, "Oh don't worry about Shelby (aka Bessie), she's perfectly harmless." The cow just wants you to think she's harmless so ...

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...
