55 square miles of southern Nebraska in Clay Center
are an animal concentration center funded for the butcher industry by the stolen taxdollars of US citizens.
Michael Mountain of earthintransition dot org
describes some of the atrocities there:
'
Retooling cows to produce twins instead of single calves
Retooling pigs to have litters of up to 14 piglets, many of whom are born hideously deformed
One cow put in a pen with 6 bulls for 24 hours...she died. Using rape stands to study bull libido, leaving cows with broken legs and other fatal injuries
Retooling sheep to grow fine hair that falls out rather than wooly coats that need shearing
Developing sheep who don't need warm sheltering, and injecting pregnant ewes with male hormones to produce larger lambs
Locking pigs in steam chambers to test their appetites at various temperatures.

Instead of stealing from the public to fund animal agony, human meat related disease (cancer, heart disease, food poisoning, Alzheimer's, kidney breakdown, strokes, arthritis, embolisms, aneurisms etc., environmental desecration and energy waste, the USDA should be promoting vegan diet. Taxpayers are also burdened by the cost of providing food stamps for nonvegetarians and for paying for the consequent hospitalization costs. http://pcrm.org

Why is there no public education from the Centers for Disease Control about the dangers of animal, bird and fish cadavers or their stolen eggs or dairy? The CDC bows to the trillions invested by billionaires in meatmongering and to drug companies.
