We tried to hurt our neightbors to the North on beef and now we are 100 times worst. I find it upsetting they would endanger our own kids

 Peta was on my case or Peta people. in reply to Henry Joe, 02-19-2008 16:22:01  
Hope I have spelled Peta correct. About 10 years ago. Peta was on me.. well some of it's people. Cause I like to fish and do use worms at times. They were on a kick that worms felt the pain and should not be used by anyone. That was was some sort of creature who like to make things feel pain! lol I can not say what my words were to each of them that came at me with this ..BULL! But was I ticked. Got some email from PETA themself. Guess these people turned me in. Nothing happen... just was ticked and seemed at time I got a lot of junk mail coming in.

Abuse like this should not be tolerated. I can't understand why anyone would defend this. Why would anybody want meat from a sick animal? There are any number of illnesses that can contracted this way. The FDA looks incompetent.

I watched the film they showed on news about the cows. But did not see any thing different from how they been handling them for years. You have to get that cow up. Just like being in the back of a trailer with other cows. If one is down it has a chance to die. To they at times stop the truck and go back and make it get up. Takes them shockers to get them up if you can. As for anything else... was no mad cow diease! Looks like a lot of cow doo and wettness. Hard to stand up. Beside the cow is on its way in to be butchered. That is life.. I like steak and all that good meat from them. ... Ever watch how they do chickens on a line.

As a beef producer, it saddens me to think that animals are treated that way and people say "that's life". Not on my farm. My animals have the very best of care, and I even put there health and well being before my own. There is no reason what so ever that justifies an animal having to be tortured before it dies. None. When the time for butchering comes on my farm, it can, and is done in a humane way. No suffering. I turned the channel when that video clip was shown. Wrong.

I agree with M Nut, you need to care for your animals and they are why you are in the business, I dont care if it is 14,000 chickens or 6 cows. Grapa always said take care of the farm, it'll take care of you. Same goes for animals.

Oh the Horrors! How awful, those poor cows..led to their deaths..no doubt by men wearing Nazi armbands, shouting Achtung Kowden! Schnell, Schnell!

What will you Bambi-ites suggest next, Lethal injection? Would that more properly be termed Humane Assisted Slaughter?

Cattle are brute beasts....a walking food crop and source of leather and a few other sundry materials. They have no soul, little intelligence and neither can their threshold for pain be measured in human terms. Thus the term...Humane...humanlike. Cattle, hogs, sheep, goats and all other 4 legged creatures ARE NOT HUMAN. If they were...no prod would be necessary..handlers would simply say...pardon me, would all of you please rise and exit the truck and/or corral?

Mark,
I will not stoop to your level of mockery and insulting comments. However, I am entitled to my opinion just like everyone else. My opinion is I am glad my herd of cattle are not handled as you suggest. I have never had need for a prod, as you suggest is necessary, and I never will. My cattle know me, trust me, and cooperate with me because they have no reason to fear me. Now, with that said, you are free to do things as you see fit, and I'll do them the way I see fit. I'd appreciate it if you at least respect my statement, even if you don't agree with it.

Lanse,

Good decision on your part.

Sometimes, I find it impossible to turn my head to ludicrous posts made by asinine posters and must respond.

If something isn't done to counter the feel good crowd that espouse human conditions for beasts.....the consumer will not able to afford to buy a pound of beef due the costs associated with appeasing the animal rights nuts.

The FDA and USDA does their job and does it well. The only problem that exists is with the animal rights wackos. Anybody that has truly been raised on a farm and has dealt on 24/7 basis with 4 legged beasts knows the reality of dealing with them. Farmer/rancher...Mother Earth News subscribing wannabes...don't know their a$$ from a hole in the ground, yet they are the very ones who cry foul any time old Bossy gets a prod to the butt or a chicken isn't supplied with a private cage and fresh straw on a daily basis.

I agree that peta and such groops go too far but there is a difference in cruel treatment of animal and just moving them as efficiently as possible. Didn't see the article or news clip so I can't comment on that.

Some times when I see the abuse I have the opinion the wrong animal is being butchered.
