What kinda hippie a$$ kids are we raising?

I don't want to eat stuff from places like that. How do you tell if its coming from somewhere like in the video? I guess just eat "organic" chicken

Buy from co-ops and support local farmers where you can see what's going on. There's a co-op here in Arlington right near me at Bowen and Mayfield.

My buddy and his wife supply them with their eggs from their free range chickens. They have a small farm out in Granbury and sell vegetables and eggs. Also do a pumpkin patch around Halloween which is great if you have kids.

Yeah, I'm alright with the video. A lot of folks never get the exposure that others do, they decided they wanted to know and went to do it.

Group huge was strange though, but they got it done otherwise.

How do they pick out which horses are sticky enough to make glue?

No glue making there.

There's always a catch.

Yup, it's their playground and they hold the cards.

Hi Yale!
I think I heard that they (the US Gov) denied funding for inspection= shut down.

Have spent my entire career (20+ years) in food processing facilities, heavily in poultry slaughter thru ready to eat- lunch meats. I've seen virtually every process, very little has given me pause, except for one time walking onto the kill floor in a horse slaughter facility, really rocked me. I have since moved my attentions to the confectionary process, where the most greusome thing I may face is a cavity.

I'll say it's a quick death. Better than passing, out on a pasture? You'll have to ask the horse that one.
Horse slaughter is no longer legal in the US, they get trucked to Mexico or Canada.

I think they opened that New Mexico plant back up.

So in other words, don't sell old horses to the factory. Unless you want them to meet a rather gruesome end.

Like where they make glue out of the hooves? What about it was so disturbing to you?

While I knew it was a more benificial alternative to being "hoof up" out in some field (primarily being processed for zoo meat and overseas human consumption), horses truly are "pets" to me. Seeing them capped, then hoisted up had a profound effect on me.

To the degree that I think more needs to be added to it, and further restrictions put on government at the federal and state and local level. So purely? I guess I would have to say no. Because purity wouldn't be adding anything to it. But I think you get my point. Many people here don't see a problem with them bypassing it. Hence the mob mentality I was arguing with exlude about. The "mob" is gonna do what it wants to do, and the laws of the land be damned.

You really gonna say he hasn't demonstrated that? At least in large part. Granted I might be wrong about you and a few others, but you're certainly not constitutionalists.

You're a constitutionalist?
