Video footage shot by the Humane Society have shown sick cows at the Hallmark Meat Packaging Company in Chino, California being prodded, jabbed with forklift blades, kicked, and sprayed in the face with powerful jets of water. "The attempt was to make them so distressed, to cause them so much suffering that these animals would get up and walk into the slaughterhouse," Humane Society President Wayne Pacelle told CBS News. Meat Industry officials have no way of knowing whether meat from the sick cows enter the food supply.
