Poor walking hamburgers or in this case reclining hamburgers. I dont buy the whole argument about downed cattle being more dangerous b/c they sit in poo... all cows do that and it apears in the clip that they are washing them off. These pieces of beef are about to be killed... so they get picked up by a forklift, they are too big to carry and they are too dumb to listen. There has been no evidence of anyone getting sick from the "mistreated" beef so whats the harm? Truth be told if you eat meat you are a killer and you might as well accept it... embrace it... make it your own. You, as an omnivore, sponcer the killing of children (lamb,veal), the rape of cattle (milk and other dary products), etc. You can not feel guilty for killing these THINGS. These silly reports are a slippery slope down that dark and terible path that it vegitarianism. BEWARE! Oh boo hoo. Poor walking hamburgers or in this case reclining hamburgers.

It is no different than vegetables raised in greenhouses or in gardens. If food comes from a factory it tastes industrial if it comes from a humane environment it tastes fresh. This is true also with milk, eggs etc.. On top of all of the other comments above, meat raised humanely just tastes better. It is no different than vegetables raised in greenhouses or in gardens.

Amen. Simply couldn't agree more. This has become a nation of desensitized pussies, for lack of a MORE fitting description. There is a horrendous disconnect as to where what you eat comes from. AMEN nerk!!! Amen.

It has been going on for years, every where.... I use to work next to a meat processing plant in San Antonio Texas for many years. You could plainly see the sick, downed cows and no one cares. Any adult who eats meat should be part of a lottery that takes turns witnessing or working at one of these plants at least once. Like jury duty. Children should be given tours. The people who work at these places get desensitized and become cruel and uncaring after a while. It is not an easy job for anyone, under the best circumstances. If you have never killed an animal to eat before or witnessed the slaughter, you have no right to eat meat. Period. That steak or burger came from something living. Everyone is guilty for thinking it's all good if it's in a neat little package. I'd rather hunt deer. This was not an isolated incident as stated. It has been going on for years, every where….

Not everyone has made the choice to be a vegetarian, and people who eat meat need to know where their meat comes from and make sure that the animal has had a happy life. We've got to be good stewards of our meat if we want to eat it - I ask you, would you rather eat meat treated like it was in the video or humanely treated meat?
