CALIFORNIA: Six months later, did the Chino beef recall produce benefits? - (The Press-Enterprise)
August 16, 2008 – 8:39 pmThe cows were caked in manure and mud. Sick or hurt, they couldn’t stand long enough to be slaughtered.
So they were beaten, kicked, jabbed in their eyes and shocked. They were dragged with chains, rammed with a forklift and blasted with a powerful hose in a manner later described in congressional hearings as akin to water-boarding.
The mistreatment and illegal slaughter of “downer” cows at the Westland/Hallmark Meat Co. in Chino, captured on video by an undercover investigator posing as a plant employee, sparked the largest U.S. beef recall in history.
