Especially those who support right wing Tea party policies.

Apparently nowadays there are many temporary foreign workers there, and if any of them speak up they could be deported.

They are not permitted to butcher it in their own shop without exhorbinate expense to meet government regulation even though they had been doing it for years without complaint but are now incapable without permission. Strange world!

Well…how about cattle standing in feed lots up to their knees in feces for weeks before they are slautered. Snow melt and rain causes this to enter the ground water, rivers and streams and then we drink it. When I was young my grandfather always slautered a cow for the winter which was organic fed. It did not smell. Just drive by Brooks, Alberta and the stench is enough to make a person vomit and people are eating that garbage with tons of antibiotics pumped and growth hormone into those animals before they die. Plus, these cattle are receive 60% of their feed from corn. Many countries have done research on corn feed cattle and it has been reported it causes obesity in humans. I haven’t bought beef for years from any supermarket.
