Obscene Undercover Video of Inhumane Killing at Central Valley Meat Co. in Hanford, California

It's hard to defend such treatment of animals. I don't like it. Millions of cows are killed annually, I imagine, for meat consumption in the U.S. Technically, by definition, the slaughter is inhumane --- you simply wouldn't kill the animals at all, for meat production or any other reason. So, the only purpose of videos like this is to get people to stop eating meat altogether, which is an agenda item of environmental extremism. I can't stand those idiots.

The video is here. Viewer discretion is advised.

And at the Los Angeles Times, "Central Valley slaughterhouse closed over inhumane treatment."

This quote is good, but again, how do we know all the animals really killed "humanely"?

Fallout from the video was swift, with Irvine-based In-N-Out Burger announcing Tuesday it had severed its relationship with Central Valley Meat, one of its suppliers.

"In-N-Out Burger would never condone the inhumane treatment of animals and all of our suppliers must agree to abide by our strict standards for the humane treatment of cattle," Mark Taylor, In-N-Out's chief operating officer, said in a statement.

You make a choice when you eat meat. You have to kill the animals. They're going to puke up bile and gunk, their eyes are going to bulge out, they're going to go down ugly, no matter how it's done. So, make a choice. If animals were blessed with "human" rights, then we wouldn't eat them. They're not. But environmentalists are anti-human, so it goes without saying they'll put the welfare of animals over that of humans.
