Recycling Body Parts – 9 September 2008
“Half of every butchered cow and a third of every butchered pig
becomes either byproduct material or waste. And “mortalities” are
integral to every feedlot and stockyard. What’s an industry to do with
all this death and gore? Call the renderer straightaway! Recycling,
they call it. Lips are exported to Mexico for taco filling; horns are
made into gelatin; other parts are fashioned into drugs, aphrodisiacs,
and industrial ingredients. Much is dried to a tacky brown powder to
be mixed into chicken and pig feed. The rest is minced, pulverized,
and boiled down for cosmetics and household products. Essentially,
assume slaughterhouse byproduct is all around you.”

"Joyful Curmudgeon"
An oxymoron?
No! I see all the beauty of God's creation and I'm joyful. At the
same time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the
world, and feel called to help expose and end it so that we may have true
peace and compassion.Blog
