Disturbing!

It's totally amazing to me what they get away with. I have another example--Mom was taking care of an uncle's affairs and noted that he was billed for a mastectomy. Not that men never have mastectomies, but we knew for a fact that this uncle did not have one. We contacted the insurance company who responded that they would perform an investigation. After a couple months, we received the response and results of their investigation. They determined that, because the procedure was documented, that they had no choice but to pay for it. We contacted them again and argued that the documentation was a either a mistake or a downright lie, but they kept repeating that the documentation was there, not just a billing error, so it must have happened EXACTLY AS REPORTED. According to them, uncle MUST HAVE HAD A MASTECTOMY because THE DOCTOR SAID SO. Amazing, isn't it?
My husband had a weird sense of humor. But, I sure didn't appreciate it when I found out, after his death, as mentioned in a report from 5 years previously that he had told a psychiatrist that his wife had been institutionalized for 5 years for psychosis. That staff psychiatrist did not bother to contact me to verify the information; he just dictated it as my husband had said.
So, I think it is very important that we obtain our medical reports and make sure that corrections are addended to them.

Very disturbing ..
I was hoping it would make me feel better about that whole family situation, but it just made me feel worse
I saw it and it was disturbing.
So My Space is living in the real world? What a concept. I think I'll pass.
That's sad and disturbing all at the same time.
No wonder we're not taken seriously.
warning - this may be disturbing and offensive to some...and then, maybe not...
There has to be some way to convey to you what is on this video. My hope is someone else will also step up and try to answer your questions, as I get very sick to my stomach even thinking of it.
I also do not want to offend anyone who maybe would not want to be subjected to this, you know, who might open the post not really knowing what is in it and then read it.
With a video, you open it, or not, at your own will.
Imagine the chickens you see either on TV or if you ever were around a farm. They are outside running around, spreading their wings...doing things that chickens do instinctly, or naturally.
Now imagine from the time they are born, they are never allowed outside, ever; but are in fact placed in coops the size of maybe the top of your desk, with 9 other chickens. There is no room to spread their wings. They never once spread their wings from birth to death, yet having that desire because it is a natural function and part of their ability to clean themselves, to mate, etc.
Now imagine their beaks being clipped off (the area with most of the nerve endings) with some kind of hot iron type machine, so they can not peck each other to death, like they will from the stress of being in tight quarters.
Now imagine 'chicken' fights, as they are so cramped and upset, fights until death, and the dead chicken just rots beside the others. Maybe the chickens are so hungry from lack of food and water, they even eat it because they have water and food routinely withheld so that they will produce more eggs. Imagine that life for years, never getting out of that coop.
Now imagine after being given growth hormones, their bodies become so big their legs will not support them, so they fall over and starve to death, again, in the coop with the other chickens.
Imagine as they are never able to wash or groom themselves. Imagine being electrically shocked in the metal cages to stimulate the egg-laying...
Now imagine they do not produce eggs so they are now ready to be slaughtered for their meat. They are literally grabbed and thrown violently into the backs of trucks, with broken bones and wings, injured, in trucks extremely hot, for who knows how many hours until they get to the slaughterhouse.
Now imagine being placed on what looks like a conveyor type apparatus, hung by their necks and being wisked by some type of blade that slits open the neck.
I could not watch certain parts and had my eyes closed, but I will never forget the sounds of this kind of treatment/death as long as I live...
These places are not clean, the chickens are not clean.
It is easy to see where the avian flu comes from - we (meaning mankind) have created it by the filth we allow these chickens to live in.
I can not even write about the cows, pigs, turkeys. Is beyond belief how they many times do not even anesthetize the cows before castrating them.
Dairy cows may not be treated so bad while they are producing milk, but a Huge percent of our meat comes from dairy cows who no longer produce milk. Their life may be pretty decent for a while, but it is what happens to them afterward...
I can not even go on...it is a nightmare.
It is disturbing the peace if they bark incessantly.
We have a bark collar for our dog and bring her in if she's barking. She barks at anyone that walks by, which is what I want because she's our guard dog. Our neighbors aren't so nice. I've gotten to the point where I just lean out the window and yell, "SHUT UP!!!!" I don't like to involve the cops or animal control because our neighbors are the type to retaliate.
I find it pretty darned disturbing.
