PETA Targets Plant Over Slaughter Practices at Postville
Animal rights group PETA filed a formal USDA complaint against Agriprocessors Inc. alleging violations of Humane Methods of Slaughter. It released seven weeks of undercover video showing cattle after throat cuts and says 25 percent remained conscious long enough to suffer. Agriprocessors denies missteps, citing kosher ritual standards supervised by nine rabbis and rabbis who conduct the slaughter. The group seeks suspension of inspection, withdrawal of federal grants, and prosecutions of responsible parties.
