Description

The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) released the results of an undercover investigation that documented the horrific abuse at the Bushway Packing in Grand Isle, VT. VT Volunteer Services for Animals interviews Joanne Bourbeau, VT/NH Field Director for the HSUS and Dr. Peggy Larson, DVM, JD, MS (Pathology) and former meat inspector for the USDA in VT for 4 months. This informative, eye opening segment discusses the routine treatment that occurred at this facility and provides insight into the process of slaughtering of veal calves. The outcry from the public that has witnessed the shocking video is prompting the Attorney General to prosecute all those involved including the USDA agent that witnessed and condoned the actions of the workers. Viewer discretion advised. For more information, please contact VVSA.If you want to purchase a copy of this program, please contact CATV.
