Vegetarian Star

Temple Grandin, renowned scientist who’s been honored by animal rights activists for her design of a system that puts less stress on an animal before slaughter, is inviting all slaughterhouses to do what Paul McCartney suggests–have glass walls.

Technically, Grandin wants these facilities to have live camera feeds so the public can see what goes on in them.

During a recent visit to Fresno State University, Grandin said the meat industry needs “to do a better job of communicating with the public about their animal handling practices.”

Not a vegetarian herself, Grandin even suggests it would behoove the companies to do so, as this could provide transparency to the public.

Would this mean no more covert visits to the factory by animal rights groups to expose unethical and possibly illegal practices?

Big Money had this to say about the matter:

“Of course, the kinds of companies that have been exposed by undercover cell-phone videos of suffering, abused cows aren’t the kinds that are interested in transparency. And the feeds don’t exactly sound like something to munch popcorn to. Still, employing live feeds seems like it might be a good way for responsible companies to differentiate themselves.”

No, live feeds aren’t the kind of video you eat popcorn to or “popcorn chicken” from KFC either.

But they would sure make a viral set of clips on YouTube.

And these would make an excellent medium for activists in teaching people how their food is brought to their plate–whether they want to be educated or not.
