soo i don't know how many of you go to www.vegan.com or listen to the vegtalk podcasts, but in erik marcus's last podcast he discussed the possibility of installing video monitoring in slaughterhouses. someone also created a petition on http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/video-cameras-in-slaughterhouses about the issue.
well, me being a wannabe activist decided to start a facebook group on the issue and invite all my friends. since i'm sure you guys care about this and any sort of issue that involves animals, i wanted to let yall know about it. so if you have a facebook please join the group and spread the word! Thank you!! :)

How likely is that? I bet there'd be a knockout dragout fight before that happened. If slaughterhouse video was posted on YouTube, people would be disgusted.
i honestly don't know how likely it is right now, but from the amount of signatures and the amount of people in the group it's obvious that there are a lot of people (including some representatives) who care about the issue. i think the most important thing is to get the word out. the more people that express interest in change, the more likely it is to happen.
yeah i'm sure if people saw the videos they would be disgusted by it. while i'd rather it didn't happen at all, it's good that the abuse happening at chino was exposed. i haven't seen the video myself, but i've heard it's pretty hard to watch. :'(
Thanks for the link! I signed it. This is an issue I've thought about before and never heard of happening. It may be a slim chance of happening at the present time but most changes start with a slim chance and a small group of people. ;)b
There are slaughter house vids on utube, and yep, they are disgusting.
