Iowa’s Holocaust
For decades the mental and physical torture of animals in Iowa’s Industrial Confined Animal buildings has been reported and ignored in our supposedly humane state. This involves chickens, turkeys, cattle, and in the largest part, pigs, who are known to have mental and emotional capacities at or above that of our beloved family dogs.
Recently Matt Johnson, raised in Iowa and now from California, planted an electronic recording device in several Iowa Select Hog Farms (Tyson meat, etc.) in Grundy County (just north of me) and Wright County (where I was born). He then remotely recorded actions of Iowa Select when large numbers of either sick or over-abundant hogs needed to be disposed, this by simply shutting down ventilation to the buildings (Auschwitz style). The pictures rolled as hogs shrieked and screamed for several hours while suffocating, then showed workers walking over hog carcasses killing any still showing life with a bolt gun.
