I just watched the video exposing Tyson Foods animal cruelty. It bothered me. Tyson is retraining the staff, but I think the staff needs mental health help or jail time, not our money. Then I read these bullet points from Tyson Foods website:

It gives you an idea of how full-of-shit companies in America are, and It's not just a few companies, it's a whole business culture of crap that we accept. They're definetly not, "Working with experts who share our commitment." In Tyson's case, this is at least the fifth time they've been caught like this.
And apparently their business hasn't changed. What is changing are laws, Ag-Gag laws. These are laws designed to criminalize the act of exposing companies. Ag-Gag laws are growing, so far, it's the law in 5 states. Iowa, Arkansas, Utah, South Carolina, and Missouri . Tyson Foods is a big deal in meat production, so this is wide spread. They supply almost all the major fast food joints (KFC, Wendys, Burger King, McDonalds, Taco Bell, and more) and own several companies (Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, Sara Lee, Ball Park, State Fair, and more).
I feel like America's slowly fulfilling its dream of becoming a GTA zombie apocalypse nation. A nation where the consumer becomes the cattle and the test subject. Sigh, or maybe im being too pessimistic. Either way, for me, this is another step into an even more meatless lifestyle where animals don't have to be tortured to death. What do you think?
