[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 1754"] I can tell you how my beef gets from the pasture to my table. We range feed and supplement with hay/alfalfa/straw and grain. The last six weeks or so of the steer's life, we separate it into a pen and stall by itself so that we can feed it special. We call a local guy who comes and shoots one bullet into its head. The steer is then skinned, gutted, quartered and taken to the butcher place to be cut into different pieces -- roasts, steaks, hamburger, ribs, etc. In packing plants, special care is taken so that the animal can be kept calm. I once heard on PBS about a lady who goes through the alleys and makes them cow-friendly. When the moderator asked her how she could care about animals but help people slaughter cattle to eat, the lady replied, "If nature were in charge, the wolves would rip its throat out and eat on it before it was even dead." Something always has to die so that humans can live. Even vegetarians kill a plant that is dying in order to survive. Respect for life and living demands that we do these things as humanely and thoughtfully as possible. [email=Sailor_One@hotmail.com]Sailor_One@hotmail.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
