Slaughter Houses

While listening to the FFN group present not only was I disturbed but I was extremely disgusted. I had never really given much thought about the procedures of slaughter houses but now that I have been informed I am utterly shocked. I cannot understand how our government can allow such practices to continue on in the fashion that they do. I would have thought that our government would have stepped in to stop the unfair treatment of the slaughter houses employees. Another fact that I am suprised at is that even though such conditions are allowed that the workers continue to work there. I just cannot believe that things like this occur in the U.S.
