So, "Happy cows come from California?" I don't think so.
I am probably the only one I know of that actually subscribes to the Human Society E-mail Newsletter, but now that its in the national news everyone should be aware of the "Downer" cows that are being forced into pens by forklifts, water hoses and electric cattle prods because they are too sick to walk on their own. SAD. And the best part? The FDA had NO IDEA because they don't pay attention and they don't care. The Humane Society secretly taped these slaughterhouses in action and handed the footage over to the FDA.
Now the meat is being recalled, but not for the cow's sake. The FDA only has the "Downer" rule to prevent the spread of mad-cow disease, not for the cow's sake. They could care less how these poor animals are treated. Not to mention that stressed cows produce more PUSS in their milk than happy cows. (click here for more info) You want happy cows? BUY LOCAL. Or better yet - BUY SOY MILK!
