I am writing with regard to the slaughterhouse that is proposed for Trapp Road in Auburn.
I very much agree with neighbors that the area is not the place for a slaughterhouse. I think the owners are thinking only of themselves and the money they could make murdering those poor animals.
Do it somewhere else; not in Auburn.
I hope they can live with themselves.
It is said that money is the root of all evil. I guess it depends on who the people are.

in it for the money
Most slaughterhouses probably do not operate for free. Of course they're in it for the money!

"I very much agree with neighbors that the area is not the place for a slaughterhouse."
Then why did the good folks of Auburn zone the area for this kind of business?

The Pirate wonders if Rena ever thinks of that when she wolfs down a double whopper at BK or a bucket of drumsticks and breasts from KFC.

If you eat anything natural, you eat meat. There are many animals living in the soils and on the plants that vegans eat. Some organics involve the use of "friendly" bugs and crawly things. Many animals are killed in the production of anything produced naturally. There is simply no way around it.
The regulations regarding animal slaughter do not allow us to take dead animals in for butchering. The animal has to be alive and healthy or we cannot put it into the human food chain. It is far better for everyone that way.
The fact that you will "allow" it other places than Auburn shows you are not concerned with the actual slaughter, you just don't want to be "near" it. The slaughter and the processing take place in a building where you will not see, smell, hear, touch, or taste anything.
If you ask nicely I'm sure the persons doing the processing will bring you a pork chop or t-bone on a nice Styrofoam platter wrapped in plastic, exactly like you find at any supermarket in America. That way you will know it is "natural"

And all this time I thought farmers raised their animals until they died of natural causes and then had them butchered. Meanies!

Yes me too. Seems since we've been "verified" his comments are indeed much more civil and I can actually agree with him from time to time.

that's because pattie allows all you right wing wackos to attack me at will, and she will do nothing, BUT she balks if I try to retaliate. The pendulum at the SJ has turned decisively right, right into the gutter. People are allowed to post without verification, but only if they attack me.

I don't get your comments about the others "attacking you at will." Paul/Pirate was just making an observation about your agrees and disagrees today, which I think is fair.
Our commenting policy prohibits comments that are:
# Potentially libelous (slanderous)
# Defamatory, abusive, obscene, racist, or otherwise hateful
# Excessively foul and/or vulgar
# Inappropriately sexual
# Baseless personal attacks or otherwise threatening
# Contain illegal material, or material that infringes on the rights of others
# Commercial postings attempting to sell a product/item
I don't see how that comment falls under anything on that list.

Paranoia strikes deep; into your life it will creep; and it starts when you're always afraid.
