Mad Cowboy - Documentary Part 3 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.

If you think the government is concerned with the welfare of the people, you are in illusion.

[UMakeTheConnection]

@whyyesyes You are ABSOLUTELY correct ! 

[BernesePuppies]

That's interesting.

He spent 5 years at capital hill & could'nt get anything done. Then what the hell are they good for.

[UMakeTheConnection]

It's called "roadblocks" very deliberate roadblocks.

The senate is owned and run by corporations, and lobbyists that ensure this message doesn't reach mainstream.

[BernesePuppies]

Of Course, since you put it like that. the meat industry is big business. It is the eating of meat in larger portion of vegetables that is too slow to digest then clinging to the walls of the colon & this self intoxicating poison is the cause of hypertension, allergies & most all disease which is huge business for the drug companies & medical industry treating the ignorant masses who are putty in they're doctors hands.

Oh yes, I know about the Corporation.

[UMakeTheConnection]

Absolutely ! I couldn't have said this better myself. We are only worth money when we are sick, not healthy or dead.

[Metspart]

@ReshZek200 Not mad at all. Obviously you are mad, bro :D

[ReshZek200]

@Metspart U MAD BRO? This is all true, so DEAL WITH IT.

[whyyesyes]

@1ukjunglednbraver Welfare is not a safety net.  It's about getting people dependent on the government. Welfare should be illegal...It's stealing. The government does NOT have he moral high ground.

[1ukjunglednbraver]

@whyyesyes not alot of people live on welfare its just a safety net for most people its just conspiracy bullshit

[Metspart]

@whyyesyes oh i completely agree with you, i just hate whiney people like you

[whyyesyes]

@Metspart Can't stand the truth? Do you think the government cares about you?

[whyyesyes]

@1ukjunglednbraver The first thing a tyrant does is get people on welfare. It's all part of the plan. The bankers make the policy that fucks up the country so people will have financial problems and get on welfare. Hegalian dialectic. They cause the problem and offer the solution. When the dollar collapses and they pull welfare, the wicked tyrants will sick the welfare people on the middle class. The tyrants that run the banks in America are the same people that run the banks in the UK.

[Metspart]

@whyyesyes Shut up.

[bryncomeaux]

we have all been allowed to believe that polititians are able to represent the interest of the people. In reality a polititians can only MANAGE the interest of the government. once we realize what we are really deciding as a voter the more we will be able to choose wisely.
