Residential slaughterhouse burns to the ground

5 years ago, we wrote about a new housing development that was built next to a slaughterhouse. As Steve_L reports, the place was gutted in a 5 alarm fire this week, and believe it or not, I’m disappointed. I’m disappointed on two counts here – first of all, I get the feeling that over the past residents learned more about political lobbying than they did about the possibility of going vegan when confronted with the realities of meat production, and second, I’m annoyed that there’s no mention of the fate of any animals that may have been inside, pre-slaughter, when the fire began. The article said that no one was injured, but animals never make it into that calculation. Link.
