Rubashkin Investigated: Again!

As I had mentioned previously, PETA has been a thorn in the side of Rubashkin, the largest kosher meat manufacturer. PETA has been pressing allegation on the mistreatment of animals at the Rubashkin plant known as Local Pride. It looks like they have gotten their wish so far.It has been reported that a special prosecutor has been assigned to the case. Evidently the OU has launched their own investigation as well.

PETA is at it at Again! Rubashkin Probe!

PETA had previously put Rubashkin in the limelight for alleged animal cruelty. Well according to Forbes they certainly have not dropped the ball:in a complaint filed Monday with the Sheridan County Attorney, the group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said Local Pride LLC allows cows to remain conscious for up to two minutes after their throats are cut during the kosher slaughtering process, among other things. Evidently Local Pride was open in connection with Rubashkin, the largest kosher meat processor. PETA had tried to go undercover to continue with it's previous complaint against the kosher meat giant. Unfortunately for PETA the USDA found no federal violations of animal rights.
