In some areas of the country, there's a shortage of kosher meat. One of the largest kosher meat companies has shut down its beef slaughtering facility. A plant owned by Agriprocessors Inc. in Iowa was raided earlier this year by federal immigration authorities.

They made a documentary about that slaughterhouse (pre-scancal). Has anyone seen it?

I don't need to. I used to finance the Rubashkins.

Will there be a shortage of pastrami on rye? That and the bailout mayhem will kill me.

If This Is Kosher¿ (Short)

Posted August 13, 2007

Movies & TV - An abbreviated version of the documentary recording the horrific conditions within the world's largest glatt kosher slaughterhouse, AgriProcessors Inc. Narrated by author, Jonathan Safran Foer, this video records the multiple abuses inflicted on animals within the plant. These conditions have raised questions within the Jewish community on the consumption of meat and exposed a scandal in the kosher meat industry.

I've toured the plant, it's not that gross. The disembowling is difficult to watch the first time, then you get used to it. I'd drive back to Chicago with a trunk full of free meat, hot dogs, all kinds of stuff.

The turkey plant next door, now THAT was disgusting! You know what burning turkey feathers smell like?

I thought this thread would be about Hershel Savage.

I thought they were finally grinding up jews and selling the meat....

No shortness of meat in Korea, those fuckers, eat dog, cat, every fucking thing that moves.

You haven't lived until you've got an up close look at a 6' diameter by 4' tall cardboard tub full of severed pig's feet.

Very true, TUP. That, or a cubic metre of frotty, warm pig lungs.

Btw, I watched the PETA clip on Agriprocessors. It's not really nice, but to say it 'defies every description'?
