Cincinnati Slaughterhouse

Starts out at the intersection of Linn St & Central Pkwy, where the large billboard is seen at the beginning of the video. I follow Linn St south for a block, then make a right turn on to Bank St. Shortly after turning on to Bank St, I pass a semi sitting on the right. The semi is pulling a cattle trailer full of cattle ready to be taken to the slaughter house, which, I might add, is only about a mile from downtown.

Shortly after passing the truck, I make a right turn onto Baymiller St, and the buildings on the right as I am driving up Baymiller are the slaughter house buildings.

At :53 in to the video, you can see the water marks on the road made by a different truck which has already backed up towards the unloading area (not visible in this drive-by scene). You'll see that truck at 1:05.

At 1:00, you can see a semi which has backed up to one of two cattle unloading areas. I was parked in an alleyway across the street from the unloading area. The entire area smelled of manure. The truck you see at 1:00 is not the same one that you saw earlier parked along the street. The one parked along the street was parked there because there was already a different truck parked at the unloading area, seen here, unloading its cattle.

To the right of my car, on the other side of the concrete wall and tall fence is a 2-acre playground complete with a couple baseball diamonds...... right next to a slaughterhouse.

At 1:10, you can see three metal dumpsters, one which as the word "BAD" spray painted onto it. Above two of the dumpsters, you can see slightly-inclined escalator ramps. If you watch closely, particularly to the one on the left, you will see clumps of "stuff" drop off the end of the conveyor and in to the dumpster. Anyone wanna take a guess as to what this "stuff" is??? Blood, guts, intestines and all sorts of other cow innards. When the cows are gutted inside, all the unusable parts apparently get tossed on to a conveyor of some sort, then get transported up this incline and drop off in to these dumpsters which are then hauled off to only God knows where.

See the nicely-built concrete wall used to sort of hide the dumpsters from cars and pedestrian traffic going by? It's he wall to the right of the SUV parked along the street. A city bus can be seen zipping by in the background, along Bank St, headed east.

Towards the end of the video, you can see the dumpsters a little better. They were appropriately painted red, obviously to hide any blood that might splatter onto the exterior. At 3:10, directly in the center of the screen, between the pick-up truck and the red dumpster, is the door through which the cattle are led as they are unloaded from the truck.

I am in no way trying to imply that slaughter houses are bad. I enjoy hamburgers and steaks as much as the next guy. I am just not sure that a residential neighborhood is the ideal place for a slaughter house, right next to a childrens' park.

The only odor one smells in the immediate area is of cow manure. A short ways away is a pickle factory, Kaiser Foods. Oddly enough, no where on the side of the slaughter house is there any mention made of just what goes on inside. I'm guessing they don't want people to know.

they should always have these in industrial parks or on the edge of towns .not in the middle of a town near food shops and children ..look what happens when toilet waste gets into a water supply ,it happened in london in the 19th century and disentry killed a few 1000 all spreading from where shit and piss thrown opn the street leaked into the water main and it went from there
