California Slaughterhouse Closes
An undercover video released by Compassion Over Killing showing egregious
acts of cruelty in a slaughterhouse in California has prompted the USDA to
close it. The video shows workers pulling and kicking downer dairy cows,
shooting them repeatedly in the head, and spraying and shocking them in an
attempt to get them to move. And since this slaughterhouse processed dairy
cows, the USDA is looking into the possibility that some of these animals
might have had mad cow disease.
It’s good news that this video was taken seriously so that in this
slaughterhouse cows are no longer tortured and killed, at least for now.
However, the very sad reality is that these acts of barbaric cruelty are not
isolated cases, but the norm in factory farms and slaughterhouses. The only
way to prevent these abuses from happening is to stop exploiting God’s
animals for our benefit. In fact, we do not ever benefit from hardening our
hearts and ignoring the fact that all beings share the same essence of love.
Let’s sow love, joy and peace, so we can reap love, joy and peace.
