This topic hails from the Los angeles times on Feb. 16th in section B. A video has surfaced showing inhumane treatment of cattle at a Chino slaughterhouse. The San Bernardino county prosecutors filed felony charges against the manager of the establishment.
Daniel Navarro faces up to eight years in prison. The video shows high pressure water hoses ti make the cows get up on their feet. Navarro has since been fired. The USDA is investigating the quality of the product which is delivered to schools in the area. In one scene Navarro is hitting a cow in the face and eye to make it walk. Cattle that cannot walk on their own are banned from the human meat supply because they are at a higher risk mad cow disease.
Some cattle were actually executed for not being able to get to their feet. School districts nationwide have pulled suspect beef from their menus. All my information was taken from the article.
