McDonald's McRib Sandwich Made From Tortured Pigs - Investors Misled, Claims Humane Society
Animal rights group files lawsuit against pork-producing giant for lying to investors about being 'animal-friendly'
By Ray Downs | Christian Post Reporter
- snip -
The fast food giant gets the pork for its McRib from Virginia-based Smithfield Foods, which according to its website delivers "Good food. Responsibly" and lists "advancing animal care" as one of its core values.
Those claims, however, are being contested by the Humane Society after the animal rights group sent an investigator to work for one month in the factory last year and found evidence of abuse and torture, according to an investigation summary released by the HSUS. The legal complaint accuses Smithfield of "issuing unlawfully false or misleading representations about the animal welfare and environmental practices," that has misled investors.

My "give-a-sh**-o-meter" doesn't seem to be working in this case.
If my bacon is peeled strip by strip from a screaming pig...I wouldn't care. After years of whiny, sniveling PETA reports about animal cruelty on farms...if America cared, things would have already changed.
Farms raise animals for food. If the animals are depressed by that, too bad. It's their fault for tasting good.
This is the bottom line: PETA DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANIMAL CRUELTY...They want to make raising animals so expensive, that everyone is forced to accept a vegan diet.

The same PETA that euthanized perfectly good dogs and threw them into dumpsters? That PETA?

The same PETA that I belonged to at 1 time because I really thought they cared for animals, come to find out that when I called about a pet store feeding gecko's to the larger lizards in the store and I wanted them to do something about it they dismissed me and actually said "that wouldn't be worthy of our time and wouldn't generate publicity", that same freaking PETA!

I think McRib is about the best sandwich McDonald's has made. Maybe it's the extra adrenalin load in that tortured pig meat. Whatever, it's
really good, and I wish they'd make it a permanent item, including the tortured taste.

I loathe the HSUS. And I'm betting none of the DUmmies has ever worked with pigs or been in a containment barn. silly me... of course they haven't. If they had they'd be clean, well-nourished, and disease-free.

The DUmmies or the pigs? I'm thinking the pigs are cleaner and healthier than DUmmies.

The McRib is only for a limited time, you guys. Better hurry.
-
I had a McRib sandwich tonight and I thought it was pretty bad, I don't like the pickles. Just my opinion.
-
I never liked the McRib but if it upsets the DUmmies that much, I might have to buy one.

lol. Yeah, I wasn't clear. You have to shower entering and leaving a containment barn, be up to date on vaccinations, not ill or carrying vermin, and eat while there.

My wife's the same way. She just orders hers without pickles.

I don't like the McRib, but I had some Smithfield Bacon yesterday. It was good, of course.

You mean the PEATA who's salacious nature puts half naked women on display in cages? That PETA? They who believe the end justifies the means? Yeah, I guess you mean that PETA. :fuelfire:

What's the big deal? Waterboarded lamb tastes excellent.

I did my part this weekend. Bacon for breakfast, and a pile of riblets on the 'Que for dinner last night.
-

Agree. 86 the pickles. I think next time I'll take a big hunk of Vidalia onion with me.

Yes, folks, meat is MURDER....
Tasty, tasty, delicious murder.
-
The important part of the story, of course, is the meat in a McRib is actually pork! Yum...

Ugh, same here. I call it the McShit sandwich.

Torture, the flavorific secret ingredient. Mmmmmm!
:drool:

I boil live crawfish and eat them, too. People say you can hear them screaming as they cook to a nice red color, but I think it's just the steam pressure being released from their shells.

I've personally butchered livestock, DUmmies. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

They are quite something for being non-rib.

I can basically get the same taste of a mcrib by just adding pickles and onions to my ribs I bake

They unfortunately are based here. I called them a while ago to see about their low cost spay program for a couple of feral cats. They didn't harm anyone and were pretty good about keeping the rats and other critters out of my yard. I just didn't wan to deal with the kittens. So I called them and was told that they will not spay a feral cat but they would be willing to come out, trap them and euthanise them.
Don't even get me started on hsus about taking credit for something they didn't do.

If man wasn't meant to eat animals, then why were they made out of meat?
Hey DUmmies, it's call "The Food Chain", humans are at the top, DEAL WITH IT!

Having assisted in cornering and capturing a few barn cats, I can't imagine spaying one.
It would be like trying to sedate a running buzz saw.
I guess a vet could get a needle in it while it tried to tear his assistant's arm off.

"Sandpapering the butthole of an alligator in a phone booth" comes to mind when talking about attempting to hold a barn cat still.

We just use the have a heart traps to catch them. The vet corners them in the back of the trap and sedates them. Then does the surgery.
But then again my barn cat was a rather spoiled Maine Coon cross. She loved people and was hell on mice.

>snort< :lol: :rotf: Any particular grit?
I use my trusty 12 gauge Cat-Be-Still.
They stay sedated for a long, long time.

I think that once you are holding a large amphibian (with a head full of teeth) by the tail in a phone booth, the question of grit becomes irrelevant.

Generally start with an 80 grit and work my way up to 220 for painting. For alligator buttholes, however, it really just depends on the desired finish. For staining, though, I prefer a hand plane to sandpaper.

I think the "desired finish" would be "me living." Therefore, 00 Buck would do the trick.

You got that right. Bad news times ten. Been there, done that, got the tetanus shot.

Last time I cornered and captured a barn cat, I had the good sense to be wearing a thick pair of heat resistant welding glove that came up to my elbows.
Damned bastard still managed to bite a finger thru the gloves!
I tossed him in the manure holding pit. All 325,000 gallons of it. Problem solved.
