One slaughterhouse worker speaks of dozens of animals being slaughtered daily while clearly alive and conscious , some surviving as far as the tail cutter, the belly ripper, the hide puller. We can't pass the buck and hope that someone else will take the initiative and change things. Your congress members aren't going to take it upon themselves to fight for animals who don't vote and don't make campaign contributions. The current system works just fine for the meat industry. Enforcing humane slaughter methods would mean slowing down production.
Slower production means less money.
The only way for meaningful change to occur is for every single person who is disturbed by this story to demand change, and not stop the pressure until we see that change. Concerned citizens who do speak up allow the issue to fade away. It provides a look inside slaughterhouses through the eyes of the people who work there. Shocking safety violations, psychological consequences for employees, and the purposeful political and media disregard of these problems are all discussed.
