Harperland and the Giant Slaughterhouse



The Con Meat Scandal has produced a lot of disturbing images. 

The sight of Gerry Ritz being hustled away by his handlers, after being unable to answer even a couple of questions from the media. 

All that ghastly shiny hamburger meat, staring out at us from every newspaper and TV set, and almost daring us to eat it. The look on people's faces when I tell them Stephen Harper is planning to fire even more food inspectors.

But the image I find most deeply disturbing is this picture of the monstrous XL Foods slaughterhouse, and those black cows munching peacefully away, oblivious to their fate.
