Has anyone else heard about this? Does it bother you?

I heard about the issue on the news this morning but didn't watch the video or see any pics or anything. It's definitely made me think again about going vegan. I've done it before with mixed results, it's just tough to do and have tasty food to eat without costing a whole lot more money.

Yes, it is all over the news. Unfortunately, this is probably the tip of the iceburg. The livestock food industry has always been problematic with the care they provide their livestock and the conditions in which these animals are kept before slaughter. Its a dirty little secret that most people don't want to know about because most people consume meat, pork, chicken, eggs, etc. and we like to think that these animals are treated humanly up until the point of slaughter.
It will be interesting to see if something more is done industry-wide, or if the repercussions will be limited to this plant.

The part that bothers me is how the animals are treated. It is really cruel, and how people can live with themselves after abusing these animals is beyond me. I understand that they are going to die for consumption anyways, but does that make it right to abuse them beforehand?

Yeah, I am curious to see the impact on the beef market overall, though I doubt the price of beef will go up.... if the demand goes down the price will go down.

Yea, I could never make it as a veagan. I regularly eat chicken, turkey(I eat ground turkey alot) and seafood (except oyster, yuck) and I'm sure they are not exactly slaughtered anymore "humanely" but there's just something about raw beef that just grosses me out, like when I walk by the "beef section" of the store, the whole time I'm thinking that's just disgusting, so this "issue" just excelerated that. Yes...I have issues.

Yeah, if you ever watch the PETA videos of commercial chicken coops, you'd be just as freaked out as you are by this.

Gross!! My late Grandmother used to eat her steaks really rare. We used to make fun of her and say her steak was still "mooing" and she always ate all the fat off her steaks too. {GAG!!} I miss her though, she rocked.
