There is no humane way to move a downed animal so the way they are moved into the food chain is completely inhumane and painful. Do you want to consume that much pain, fear and suffering? If we are what we eat.....? Personnally, the way the slaughter industry kills ALL the animals, that's ALL you're eating!! I just saw a program on an access channel, as the media thinks the public can't handle the truth, called "Animal Rights" and sobbed hysterically all the way thru. I forced myself to watch to burn those images in my brain so I'll not even be tempted to consume that karma! Margo Johnson 1610 Wilhelmina Rise Honolulu, HI 96816 Love Yourself & Know Faith
