Animal Cruelty in the Meat Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s no secret that the meat industry relies on animal cruelty. But not only are animals exploited, but their treatment throughout their lives also is brutal and filled with suffering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harsh Conditions in the Feedlot<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

E. coli<\/em> has likely been present in American cattle herds for decades. But until the rise of industrial-scale, centralized meatpacking driven by the demands of the fast food industry, its spread was fairly limited. The disease gets its start in the vast feedlots of today\u2019s slaughterhouses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These facilities are marked by appalling sanitary conditions, where the cattle are packed into close quarters, given little exercise, and splash around in pools of manure<\/strong>. This creates ideal conditions for bacteria to grow and make the animals sick. This is exacerbated by what the cattle are now increasingly being fed: the rendered remains of dead sheep and other cattle, as well as dead dogs and cats purchased from animal shelters. Natural herbivores, cows\u2019 stomachs are not designed to eat other animals. Forcing them to do so is not only inhumane and cruel, but also facilitates the growth of deadly parasites in their bodies that are then passed on to the humans who eventually consume their meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking Through Blood<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Truly disturbing scenes await those who visit a slaughterhouse\u2014or the workers who toil in them. <\/strong>Decapitated cattle carcasses. Organs yanked out of dead animals with bare hands. Ankle-deep pools of blood. Workers severing the carotid arteries of dead cows. All of this is just part of the scenery on a typical business day in America\u2019s meatpacking industry. And this is just what\u2019s at the end <\/em>of the line, after <\/em>the cattle have already been killed. The scenery becomes even more violent as one goes further up the production line, where workers interact with live cattle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As cattle enter the slaughterhouse from the pen, they are greeted by a worker known as the \u201cknocker,\u201d who shoots them in the head with a stun gun that knocks them unconscious. This individual\u2019s job is simply to shoot cattle in the head like this as they are herded into the slaughterhouse through a narrow shoot. After they\u2019re knocked out, the animals are shackled to a chain and lifted through the air to the next area of the factory, where they are killed and dismembered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: The scenes at these facilities are so gruesome and heartrending that the meatpacking industry has gone to extraordinary lengths to prevent the public from seeing what goes on inside them. \u201cAg-gag\u201d laws make it illegal to film or photograph activities at factory farms or meatpacking plants without the explicit consent of the owner\u2014with the goal of silencing or intimidating activists who are trying to shine a light on animal abuses. These laws are on the books in Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, North Carolina, and Utah. Check out this New York Times<\/em> article<\/a> to learn more.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The McNugget and the Poultry Industry<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A similar dynamic has played out in the poultry industry. The invention of the McDonald\u2019s Chicken McNugget in the early 1980\u2019s reshaped how American chickens were raised and sold.<\/strong> It transformed a bulk agricultural commodity into a branded, manufactured, and value-added product. As such, fast food companies began to take a much greater interest in how poultry farmers raised their birds, seeking ever-greater product uniformity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea behind the McNugget was simple: a boneless chicken finger-food no larger than the size of a human thumb. The early tests of the product were so successful that McDonald\u2019s partnered with leading chicken processor Tyson Foods to ensure an adequate supply. The Arkansas-based Tyson Foods even developed a new breed of chicken exclusively to be made into McNuggets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The success of the McNugget made McDonald\u2019s America\u2019s second-largest purchaser of chicken (KFC, perhaps unsurprisingly, was #1). Their massive buying power (and that of the few major chicken processors from whom McDonald\u2019s buys, like Tyson) wrought major changes for the nation\u2019s chicken farmers. As with beef, consolidation and concentration became the hallmarks of the industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
