Mad Cowboy - Documentary Part 5 of 6

HOW TO TELL THE TRUTH AND GET IN TROUBLE

I am a fourth-generation dairy farmer and cattle rancher. I grew up on a dairy farm in Montana, and I ran a feedlot operation there for twenty years. I know firsthand how cattle are raised and how meat is produced in this country.
Today I am president of Earth Save International, an organization promoting organic farming and the vegetarian diet.
Sure, I used to enjoy my steaks as much as the next guy. But if you knew what I know about what goes into them and what they can to do you, youd probably be a vegetarian like me. And, believe it or not, as a pure vegetarian now who consumes no animal products at all, I can tell you these days I enjoy eating more than ever.
If youre a meat-eater in America, you have a right to know that you have something in common with most of the cows youve eaten. Theyve eaten meat, too.
When a cow is slaughtered, about half of it by weight is not eaten by humans: the intestines and their contents, the head, hooves, and horns, as well as bones and blood. These are dumped into giant grinders at rendering plants, as are the entire bodies of cows and other farm animals known to be diseased. Rendering is a $2.4 billion-a-year industry, processing forty billion pounds of dead animals a year. There is simply no such thing in America as an animal too ravaged by disease, too cancerous, or too putrid to be welcomed by the all-embracing arms of the renderer. Another staple of the renderers diet, in addition to farm animals, is euthanized pets - the six or seven million dogs and cats that are killed in animal shelters every year. The city of Los Angeles alone, for example, sends some two hundred tons of euthanized cats and dogs to a rendering plant every month. Added to the blend are the euthanized catch of animal control agencies, and road kill. (Road kill is not collected daily, and in the summer, the better road kill collection crews can generally smell it before they can see it.) When this gruesome mix is ground and steam-cooked, the lighter, fatty material floating to the top gets refined for use in such products as cosmetics, lubricants, soaps, candles, and waxes. The heavier protein material is dried and pulverized into a brown powder-about a quarter of which consists of fecal material. The power is used as an additive to almost all pet food as well as to livestock feed. Farmers call it protein concentrates. In 1995, five million tons of processed slaughterhouse leftovers were sold for animal feed in the United States. I used to feed tons of the stuff to my own livestock. It never concerned me that I was feeding cattle to cattle.

There is a future in farming, once more and more people catch on to what these giant corporations are doing. There's a future for organic plant agriculture, once more and more people realize that animal exploitation and abuse (whether in factory farming form or in small so-called "happy meat" farms) is unnecessary and unjustifiable.

@kimberlily1983 Organic is the ONLY way to go. We are on a downward spiral and it's out of control. If you have seen this movie, I encourage you to watch it.... it's called "The World According to Monsanto" - just Google it or search on YouTube. It's our future and it MUST be stopped. You will be angry after watching this.

If one person is unkind to an animal it is considered to be cruelty, but when a lot of people are unkind to animals, especially in the name of commerce, the cruelty is condoned and, once large sums of money are at stake, will be defended to the last by otherwise intelligent people."

Ruth Harrison - Author of Animal Machines

Well said and sadly, so very true.

@rch1407 I know it is hard, but maybe you should research what you said : wwwdotninds.nih.gov/disorders/­cjd/detail_cjd.htm#159813058

@kimberlily1983 World "leaders" are stashing REAL seeds in underground vaults waiting for the big event to occur, meantime, these GMO's are FORCED on Farmers and those Farmers who don't go along, are pushed out by Monsanto and the courts who work together to out these Farmers. The Big Event = BILLIONS DEAD. The "world leaders" will come in after the event and restore the world with real food and crops and will rule those left behind under the luciferian system of slavery.

@rch1407 yes you can, a prion is a protein...that moves in the animals blood stream, it is mostly found in the brain but still can move in the blood stream. Blood is in meat, so therefore yes you can get it by eating infected meat.

[rch1407]

you can't contract a prion disease (CJD, etc.) by eating meat!  aarrgghh

[kimberlily1983]

@UMakeTheConnection I've seen it. And yes, I was - and am still, actually - angry about what Monsanto and other corporations are doing to us. And I agree, organic is the only way to go. I hope enough people wake up and realize we must do something before it's too late.
