Please Support Video Monitoring in Slaughterhouses

Posted in April 23rd, 2008

In the wake of the HSUS Chino slaughterhouse investigation, several members of Congress are now calling for video cameras to be installed at slaughterhouses. Naturally, the USDA is dead set against this. Here’s an opportunity to grab a hold of this issue and take advantage of this window of opportunity. We would love for you to get involved — please join us at our Facebook group

It’s unanimously agreed (if veg*an or not) that the animal agriculture industries from factory farms to the slaughterhouses have “fox in the henhouse status”. This pending legislation is pivotal on many levels of reasoning: Of course for the welfare of the animals, for “food” safety, and lastly, because “if slaughterhouses had glass walls we would all be vegetarian” Sir Paul McCartney

There is also a petition:

Spreading the word on this would be a great help -

I find the idea of slaughterhouses repulsive and varying in soundness of safe agricultural practices. The poor chickens being clobbered daily by cruel slaughterers makes me want to go insane about nearly 20% of all the time i live daily. Meanwhile, agricultural interests drag down the concepts of individuality in these chickens, by placing them in horribly close proximity to one another. Cameras in slaughterhouses would save an innumerable amount of chickens from relinquishing their individuality. These chickens are martyrs of the animal rights movements, and need to be respected to the utmost.

I must concur with the obvious intelligence of the previous commentator. Camera monitoring in slaughterhouses is mutually beneficial to the well-being of not just chickens, but an assortment of helpless animals which have no choice but to live out their lives in confinement. We must work towards the liberation of these hapless animals to prove that we ourselves are not animals.
