Look at how commercial meat was slaughtered a few years ago vs how they are slaughtered now. It is more humane and quicker (unless done improperly).

I think Lab meant the way they are processed. I agree the way the big farms raise meat and keep tally of which breeds and which practices produce the most meat for the less feed ect is not how I prefer my food be raised.

How cows were slaughtered (and still are in some places).
Larger businesses do not "bleed out" or "stick" animals. It's the smaller slaughterhouses, that can not afford the updated technology, that still practice "sticking" and "bleeding out".

I have personally witnessed the newer slaughter methods of large businesses. They herd the cow into a small pen, place a shackle over the head (so it can't move) and shoot it in the head with a stake that comes from a high powered air gun. Then the animal is hung upside down and bleed out, skinned, de-gutted, legs and other parts taken off, skin primed for leather and meat seperated and sliced for packaging. Yes, all of this happens in ONE plant. They go from cow to packaged meat in the same plant. Everything from leather to food is made...and yes, it smells. Everything is cleaned daily (especially the bathrooms, cafeteria, walk ways and wherever a cow (or part of a cow) may have been after they were taken from the slaughtering pen.

Man, way back in the day they raised them alot nicer but when it came to slaughtering for dinner, they still bludgeoned/wrung their necks/chopped heads off/bled out whatever animal they were having that night. I imagine it wasn't very sanitary waaaay back in the day either...not that it's really sanitary now, but I see what ya mean about raising them nicer.

The man was being investigated for the treatment of his dogs. There had to be something going on to warrant an investigation. 50 dogs, sounds like a puppy mill to me.Though we don't have the full story it sounds like a case of "If I can't have them no one will" I agree that the dogs are probably better off now. But it is a shame that so many died. This is the type of person who would cut off their nose to spite their face. I believe what goes around comes around and I see very dark times in this man's future.

How could that man possibly own and take care of 50 dogs? (Unless I missed something there?) Sounds a bit puppy-millish to me too...At least the dogs are at a better place now. Poor babies :(

I come from a sparsley populate place as well, but to stare a dog I love in the face and shoot them with a gun, no matter how painless, yea that would take someone without any other choice or someone who did not care.

This guy was SITTING ON THERE BODIES when they came to get the dogs. Obviously he was not a caring owner and its sickening to me that he cannot be punished because the dogs are considered property.

I think the sitting on the bodies was the part that bothered me the most because it demonstrated a revulting disrespect and obviously no caring for these dogs.

It is terrible that we are not humaine to all animals, even when they are going to be eaten; however, I'm sorry, but I cannot compare the dog, mans best friend, with a cow or a pig. I do see what you are saying, but the emotional attachement is different for me with dogs.
