And then we hit interstate 5, near Coalinga.That ripe tangy stench of death permeates the car. We try air conditioning, closing the vents, holding our noses blasting more tunes. I close my eyes and pray. We are just outside the Harris Ranch feedlot. With a 100,000 cattle it is the largest ranch on the west coast. Hundreds of cattle are harvested each day. If I open my eyes I can see cows scrunched together lined up as in boxcars awaiting there fate.They will be "In and Out" burgers soon! It's hard for me to grasp that concept and I cry as I always do. I've heard that this place of misery has been nicknamed "Cowschwitz". I wonder like I always do how anyone can eat meat at Harris Ranch or anywhere for that matter after experiencing this. We drive out of the offending area. Larry pats my knee and I am grateful for my husband and the compassionate life we've built together.

It won't mean much but I will not eat any meat tomorrow in deference to your sadness. Have a better day.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet. Thank you, Mark. I just read this. I just posted on your blog. So sorry for your loss too.
ReplyDeleteI think it is completely disrespectful to human life to call a slaughter house cowschwitz. although what is happening at harris ranch is an atrocity is is incomparable to the massacre of millions of human beings in concentration camps. i am very offended by this term and hope that you will reconsider when using it in the future. thanks.
