Bill,<br> <br> If these animals are humanely slaughtered, assuming there is such a thing, then why not give the members of V2020 a detailed description of how the cattle and animals on Alderspring Ranch are killed?<br> <br> Tell, me Bill, are the tails of the cows that give milk and used to make cheese chopped off making them more susceptible to disease and illness?<br> <br> Are the layer chickens that give you your eggs confined to a small area?<br> <br> How are the broiler chickens killed?<br> <br> Are the cattle at Mission Valley of Montana forced to eat in lot feeds, the article in your paper says they are? Look yourself,<br> <br> http://www.moscowfood.coop/archive/bcr.html<br> <br> <br> Is your paper lying, or are you treating these animals cruelly? Which is it?<br> <br> I am fairly certain Mr. London, you will find, if you do some research that while the Co-Op does it less than most, it still buys from producers that abuse and
slaughter animals, especially if you use the definitions of PETA, which is what we were discussing on KUOI. The animals are slaughtered, they don't die of natural causes. Nor are they given pain killers before being killed. <br> <br> So show me where I am wrong Bill, your own paper testifies to what I am saying.If this is wrong, give us a video clip of how pigs meet their death before being served up to the people of the Moscow?<br> <br> Also, maybe you can answer this question, why does the Co-OP charge 3 x as much for something as everyone else in Moscow, even when it is the exact same product?<br> <br> You wrote:<br> <br> "<font face="Arial" size="2">Shoppers who purchase meat at the Moscow Food Co-op can be assured that the utmost care has been taken to ensure that the meat has been carefully and humanely grown."<br> <br> Meat is grown? Like potatoes? That is new to me. <br> <br> Tell the Co-Op you don't want fedlot cattle. This is the
same method used by factory farms. It is unclean and inhumane to the animals.<br> <br> <br> </font> Best,<br> <br> _DJA<br> <br> <br><br><b><i>Bill London <london@moscow.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta content="MSHTML 6.00.2800.1561" name="GENERATOR"> <style></style> <div><font face="Arial" size="2">During Tim Lohrmann's KUOI interview show with Megan Prusynski on Sunday, a caller (later identified as Donovan Arnold) said that the Moscow Food Co-op sold meat that had been inhumanely raised.</font></div> <div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div> <div><font face="Arial" size="2">That is absolutely false.</font></div> <div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div> <div><font face="Arial" size="2">The Moscow Food Co-op is extremely
