I agree with most of the people here. PETA loves using propaganda.

But they do have a point in that modern slaughter houses are just messes that need reformation. Not only for the animals sake but for ours.

Have you ever compared an organic free range chicken with a non-organic one (you'd probably have to go to two different supermarkets). The difference is night and day. The organic free range bird just looks 100 times healthier and, thus, better for you.

Go to some place like Britain and marvel at the better quality of their steak. Basically because they take a more traditional approach to slaughtering cows instead of trying to mechanize and sanitize every aspect of it.

I agree with PETA that slaughter houses are nasty places. But I don't think we should all go vegan.

Interesting side note: Has anyone read THINKING IN PICTURES by Temple Grandin? She's autistic and the book is basically about her life. She now works as a slaughter house designer (yes she designs them, she's a highly functioning autistic). She works with cattle like this because she's always felt a strong connection with animals. However, she believes that it's the natural order of things for humans to eat animals. So she's working to imporve the modern slaughterhouse.
