I am researching the process of cattle slaughter and treatment. This topic interests me because I'm not one for animal cruelty. The other day, I was having trouble getting into an online library database, but once I was in, I found some interesting facts. The one that shocked me the most came from an article I read. It said that,"...when a cow's diet is changed to a corn based mixture, they are more likely to become sick with E. coli, rather than cows who eat grasses and hay." I read further along and found out that farmers know about it! They are forcing sickness into the cows for the sake of fast production. I'm becoming more and more aware of the mistreatment of cattle the more I research, but I'm glad that I'm learning about it because then I know what really goes on in the meat packing system.
What was the name of the article you read, Cameron?
