Cow Slaughter in Public Prompts Closure of Bloomfield Meat Store

Just what everybody wants to see in a parking lot with you kids what a sick low order primate.

One down, so many more to go.

Everyone should see where their dinner comes from.

Agree, I'm just not interested in seeing where it comes from when I'm shopping for wall coverings at Home Depot.

Too picky. They sell smokies in the Home Despot parking lot. People should know where they come from, and it's not pretty.

People are all torn up about six (?) horses dying during the Stampede Chuckwagon races, but don't give two shits about the truckloads of horses being slaughtered daily.

Perspective!

Oh, I wasn't torn up about the horses. You gotta give a shit to be emotionally invested; and I seriously don't give a shit.

I am well aware of how my meat is slaughtered. You want horror? Look into what in the Hot Dog you're eating... or how those delicious formed chicken nuggets are made.

Actually, hot dogs, bologna, and other emulsified meats aren't that bad. It's just rumour about what they are made from. That 'offcut' stuff is mostly turned into dog food.

But chicken nuggets . . . yea.

My mom used to work at Schneiders. That was not always a rumor.

But yeah, Chicken Nuggets... über gross

I worked the kill floor at Gainers for a while. Like Sir Paul says, if slaughterhouses had windows, everyone would be vegetarian.

Even made my own sausage etc. for a while. Hot dogs traditionally are made from scraps, and meat no one wants, like blade or flank. But I'm not surprised if Schinders put 'lips and assholes' in them.

I don't doubt that.

They do. I worked weekends back in my teens making sausages to pay for college.

All the guts and other things brought over on little railroad wagons and tipped into a large steel trough. A truck would then arrive with old unsold bread off supermarket shelves and dumped in with the "meat", wrappings still on. Bags of chemical colouring, flavoring, preservatives and water were then added. The mess was then heated and churned up with massive augers and when "cooked" forced out of one end into a factory to made into sausages.

Never eaten a sausage since.

Deer sausage.... YUMMMMMM!

Indeed.

Best yet was to get a wild pig that are increasingly wandering the forests around here.

They have only one bad day, otherwise they wander and forage as nature intended. As it should be.
