Meatless Mouthful–Mark Bittman On E6 Cattle Cruelty Investigation
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 27th, 2011 in Animal Issues, Food & Drink, Meatless Mouthful.
“The problem is the system that enables cruelty and a lack not just of law enforcement but actual laws. Because the only federal laws governing animal cruelty apply to slaughterhouses, where animals may spend only minutes before being dispatched. None apply to farms, where animals are protected only by state laws.”
—Mark Bittman, in his New York Times food politics column about the animal cruelty discovered at E6 Cattle, a company that provides calves for the dairy industry. A video of the cruelty, which shows–among many acts–workers bludgeoning cows with pick axes, can be viewed here.
