5) The Humane Slaughter Act requires that an animal be rendered
unconscious with one swift application of a stunning device before
slaughter. This requirement, however, can easily be violated, thanks
to excessively rapid line speeds that can result in animals being cut
up while fully conscious. Sped-up conveyor belts produce more profits
for packing plants, but the cost is borne by the animals and by the
laborers who have to work on the petrified creatures as they fight for
their lives. As for birds (not legally recognized as animals),
"humane" preslaughter stunning is not administered.


6) A meat diet dramatically raises your risk for heart attack, but in
recent years you're less likely to die from one. Technology will
probably save your life, but now you're left to live with the
consequences. In the case of congestive heart failure -- an
increasingly common outcome -- your heart, now so damaged, is unable
to circulate blood to the rest of your body adequately; this results
in fluid build-up and organ damage. In the U.S., nearly 5 million
people live with the condition, and about 550,000 new cases crop up
every year. The disease is the leading cause of hospitalization among
the elderly, and hospital bills attributed to it come to $19 billion
per year.

Your moooing in the wrong pasture fool!
