don't want to say in public. <BR><BR>But it is nice to know that you like the

think it address or is relevant to the issues or makes the slaughter and lot

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I should remember the old adage, "don't get
into a pissing match with a skunk." But here I go, it's time to remind
you about the difference between truth and falsehood.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You levelled a false accusation
at the Moscow Food Co-op. The Co-op sells only meat raised in
line with humane standards. Period. For you to say otherwise is a
lie.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And now you are repeating that same
lie.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You offer one website article in support of
your claim (you cite -- <FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>http://www.moscowfood.coop/archive/bcr.html</FONT>). That
article originally appeared in the Co-op's newsletter and focused on the
Co-op selling Alderspring Ranch beef.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here is the relevant paragraph from that
article:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>The first person I contacted was Glenn Elzinga at Alderspring Ranch in
Tendoy, Idaho. I immediately liked him and was very impressed with his
ranch. Alderspring is a family-owned and operated ranch. The cattle are fed
only on pasture. They are never finished on grain; this raises the levels of
omega-3 fatty acids and CLA. They are as close to organic as you can get
(and are working toward certification). Most importantly, Pam assured me the
beef tastes amazing. Glenn is coming to Moscow sometime during the first
week of January to bring our first order and sample his product and talk
about his ranch. You can find out more on his website <A

Re: [Vision2020] True remarks on KUOI broadcast</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>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
