Warning: disturbing footage. Undercover investigation at Chinos Hallmark/Westland slaughterhouse

The Animal Legal Defense Fund, the Humane Society of the United States, Farm Sanctuary, and the Humane Farming Association filed a motion to intervene in U.S. District Court in Fresno, in a lawsuit being brought by meat industry trade associations attempting to overturn a California law banning the use of sick and disabled animals in the food supply. California law was recently strengthened to protect animals and humans after an HSUS investigation at a Chino slaughterhouse exposed horrific abuse of downed cows—many of whom were destined to become ground beef in the National School Lunch Program.

Watch the video of the undercover investigation at Chinos Hallmark/Westland slaughterhouse to see the abuses of desperately sick and injured animals that the coalition of animal protection organizations are fighting to stop. Warning: disturbing footage of animal abuse. Video provided by HSUS.

Yes. Actually we have. But we euthanize them first, asshole! We don't drag them or lift them or treat them like a package of meat in the supermarket before they are dead! Get it! DO YOU GET IT!

[Kristi Quaintance]

Excuse me? You WHAT? You do the same with animals sometimes? Who are you? How can this be okay? FUCK YOU! If you are forthcoming enough to say "We do the same with animals sometimes" I have to wonder just WHO you are? I am from the farm. I get that things aren't always considered okay with some groups but we NEVER, EVER treated a living thing this way. Yes, sadly. Indeed "sadly".

Sadly they aren't the only ones. We do the same with animals sometimes.

You ever tried moving a several hundred pound animal without machinery? Tell you what, you give it a try then come back and try giving that same opinion.

[Martin Jakobsen]

Wtf is wrong with these farmers???

[Amber Van Dongen]

This ppl have no respect for animals and should be conviced for life in prison, and so should the big boss.

[Molly Anderson]

Agreed. They are definitely paying for it now....money wise....in debt up to their ears. But that's not enough payback in my opinion.

[Molly Anderson]

Seriously. I want to do that same thing to them as they did to those animals.
