MEAT WASTE

Overcrowding, Mishandling
Brutality and Neglect

There is a shameful waste OF
meat through the overcrowding Of
cattle, sheep and hogs in transport

or stupid mishandling Of them.

The per capita meat consumption
in this country is fifty-nine pounds
per annum. That means the normal
supply of $4,000 persons for 500
days was made waste by injury to
cattle on way to market.

markets. in which hogs were
slaughtered last year, it appears
that there was an average loss.
