Or will this just end up another case of "one wetback disappears, another wetback shows up"? 2) I know that people tend to be less concerned about the conditions of poultry than of mammals, but if Rubashkin's is treif because of all this, is it ok to keep buying Empire? Are their chickens and turkeys raised and killed in a manner that we can call ok, kosher, acceptible? With all this news I have two questions:
