US: Cattle industry condemns slaughterhouse abuse
A US cattle industry spokesman said nearly all meat bound for American dinner tables were treated humanely, despite a secret video showing workers at a slaughterhouse abusing sick or crippled animals.
The undercover video taken at Westland/Hallmark Meat of Chino, Southern California, by the Humane Society of the US showed workers shocking, kicking and shoving debilitated cattle with forklifts, and led to the largest recall of beef in US history.
