HSUS and downed cattle

I get emails from the Human Society regarding animal rights all the time. The latest was regarding "downers", cows too sick to get up and walk into the slaughter house at a place in California. They had an undercover video which I couldn't even bring myself to watch of these poor creatures being abused (tortured really) in an effort to get them up. I tell you what, I don't think I want to eat meat any more. My heart is sick over this.

3/4 Red Australian Cattle dog, 1/4 Blue
3 years old. His name is Eddie
All cattle graze for most of their lives. All of them...
and there is overhead involved in grass fed beef. There is overhead involved in everything, but my real question was: How does finishing with corn change the "chemistry" of the muscle?
I have been considering a cattle prodder to get mine up (just kidding) sm
My 4 kids are between the ages of 10 and 6 years old and they are all very difficult to get up in the mornings. Sometimes they even go back to sleep when I wake them up. As a working mom that has an hour commute every morning this is a major problem in our household. So, I would appreciate any suggestions. What is so weird is they get up with the roosters on the weekends (the only time I get to sleep late) but yet an earthquake wouldn't wake them on school days! I have even tried sprinkling water on their face and pulling the blankets off of them. Someone please help!
They get to bed early at night so I know they are getting plenty of sleep. They are just sleepy heads.
Lucky you! My niece has a red Australian Cattle Dog
and she is adorable. Name is Reggie. She was taught to ring a bell when she needed to go out and learned to do so in 2 days! She herds everyone when they are in the pool and my niece must actually stop her or she gets blisters on her little feet and is worn out! They are incredible. I know some people refer to them as Heelers as well, maybe the same thing or maybe a tad different. In any event, what a great dog!!
Australian Cattle Dog? What a wonderful picture of an s/m
obviously very happy, well taken care of dog. I wish they all had it so good! 
Ha! Cattle dogs are great. I knew a working one.
That was one happy cattle dog, working a ranch in Texas. We could walk among the bulls in the field without any problems all because the bulls were so scared of the cattle dog.
My Misha was really funny, and I didn't correct all her sassy behaviors because they were harmless and hilarious, but I am reading Cesar Milan's book, Cesar's Way, and I think it's a great book for any dog lover.
The bell is a great idea! My niece's cattle dog learned to SM
ring the bell in 2 days and has done it ever since. It is adorable. If no one lets her out right away she looks around and takes that leg and swings it and hits it the second time. It is a wonderful idea.
