It hasn't been for quite some time! The video of conscious cows having their tracheas and esophagi ripped out was in 2004. The Forward's series of articles about labor issues followed, and we've seen lots of little controversies -- about everything from environmental pollution to corrupt business practices -- ever since. I think Jewschool put it best in its "Picks for Best of 2007." This isn't about what AgriProcessors has gotten in trouble for in any given calendar year. Said Jewschool: "we award Rubashkins/ AgriProcessors its very own award: The Worst Ongoing Scandal Award." “Not AgriProcessors’ year”? It hasn’t been for quite some time!
