"If an animal is stressed when it goes to slaughter ... it will emit hormones that create quality defects in meat that then has to be trimmed away," she said.

I will say this: the Kobe beef we had over the weekend was the best thing that's ever been yanked out of a beer-fed, massaged cow. Totally worth the price.

It's FUSED.

Agreed.

I absolutely agree with the animal rights activists on this one. Oh, the horror! Instead all such condemned animals should immediately be transported to the homes, condos, & apartments of such animal rights activists. I am sure that a typical animal rights activist apartment dweller would have no problem sponsoring 1000 -- no make that 5000 diseased chickens in their personal domiciles. Let the poor creatures have a kind and comfortable home for their final days. And of course the animal rights community will pay for individual burial services for each stricken animal.

I wasn't meaning to chastise you about posting an article that had been posted before. I hope it didn't come across that way. The article you posted appears to actually be a follow up to the original anyway. It also seems to be a little more sympathetic towards the animal activists than the previous article as well.
