This is not the first time Agriprocessors has been in trouble. A smear campaign? This slaughter house was caught red handed with 400 illegal workers! Do you think illegal workers really understand Kosher slaughtering or care? None of the high priced cow flesh processed there was even Kosher. Greed led to hiring illegals, which don't have to be paid regular wages, or given medical care. I wonder how many illegals lost their fingers or hands because they could not understand the safety rules written in English? And Kosher slaughter on large scale undermines the holiness or intent of how these cows are treated. Hanging a fully conscious cow upside down and chainsawing the liven being while it is stil fully conscious after it's throat has been slit is not 'Kosher'. "As often as Herman had witnessed the slaughter of animals and fish, he always had the same thought: in their behavior toward other creatures, all men were Nazis. The smugness with which man could do with other species as he pleased exemplified the most extreme rascist theories, the principle that might is right." = Isaac Bashevis Singer http://www.goveg.com/kosher.asp Gershon, – you should be nervous.

Why not let it work it's way through the court system and the take action. It sure sounds like a smear campain by Heckshire Tzedek, the UFCW and PETA. I'm glad I found this as I will give none of these organizations any support in the future. It makes me wonder how much these two organizations have given to Conservative Jews. Now, the OU has said they will wait for it to work through the courts and take action if it is needed. That's the way it's SUPPOSED to work. Anything less is Lashon Hara. Those speaking these words, even if true, must pay back all losses to Agriprocessors that occurred before a trial. Why are so many Jews condemning Agriprocessors before the a trial?
