Rubashkin Convicted on 86 Charges
On Friday, Sholom Rubashkin, the former owner of an Iowa kosher slaughterhouse, was convicted of 86 out of 91 fraud charges. It has been over a year since the the Pottsville, Iowa slaughterhouse, Agriprocessors was raided by federal authorities arresting hundreds of workers. Since the raid, vigorous debate has ensued regarding the treatment of the workers, the animals and even what it means to eat kosher meat. The Jew and the Carrot hopes to continue this important debate.

Jonathan B-K Says:
November 17th, 2009 at 5:33 pmCould some one explain or interpret for me what (if at all) is the connection between these fraud charges, and what appeared to be Sholom Rubashkin and Agriprocessor’s unethical treatment of his workers and the animals at the plant? I understand that he will be tried specifically for the immigration law violations shortly, but how can the bank fraud convictions be construed as condemnation of his unethical treatment of people and animals?
