Industrial Pig slaughter down side.
CDC report: http://tinyurl.com/2h3f6x ................. Taste from Salon. "Since December, 12 meatpackers in Austin and two at a plant in Indiana have reported fatigue, numbness and tingling in their arms and legs. A few are severely disabled; others have returned to work. Indiana health officials have declined to discuss the conditions of the affected workers there or say where they were employed, citing patient privacy laws. All 14 employees worked near powerful compressed air systems that blow brains out of pig heads at what is known as the head table. Both plants have stopped using the process. Lynfield said investigators are now looking for anyone who has worked near Quality Pork's head table since 1997. That's difficult because the plant employs about 1,200 workers, many of them immigrants, and turnover is high." -- Garden in shade zone 5 S Jersey USA ICAO = KMIV Millville Weather |
